Abstract: A system can include at least one auxiliary device comprising a plurality of user interface components responsive to user inputs. A host device can include a link interface configured to communicate with each auxiliary device via a communication link. The host device also includes configuration logic to automatically configure each auxiliary device to implement at least one of a plurality of virtual interactive pages, which is assigned based on the number of auxiliary devices connected to the host device. Each of the virtual interactive pages is programmed to associate a discrete set of actions or events with specified user interface components of the respective auxiliary device to which the virtual interactive page is assigned. The host device can execute a selected one of the actions or events in response to activation of a corresponding one of the user interface components.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing access to a visual phone menu is disclosed. One of the methods includes receiving a call request transmitted from a calling device to initiate a call to a recipient; saving state information associated with the caller's navigation through a voice response system; providing an option for the caller to select between receiving a visual phone menu (VPM) or continuing to listen to the voice response system menu; receiving a selection of the option to receive the VPM; providing the VPM to a client device including providing state information associated with the caller's navigation through the voice response system prior to the selection; and using the state information when the caller navigates back in the response tree using the VPM.
