Patent number: 8634519Abstract: A message greeting system receives a notification that a party is unavailable in response to a communication initiated by a contacting party. In response to receiving the notification, the message greeting system acquires contextual data associated with the contacting party, determines a message greeting that is appropriate for the contacting party based upon the contextual data, acquires the appropriate message greeting, and sends the appropriate message greeting to a contacting party device associated with the contacting party. The appropriate message greeting includes a message greeting that is usable by the contacting party given a context in which the contacting party is involved as identified by the contextual data. In some embodiments, the message greeting system acquires the appropriate message greeting by adapting an inappropriate message greeting for the context in which the contacting party is involved, thereby creating the appropriate message greeting.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2013Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Jerry Crawford

Publication number: 20020057289Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for providing a component customization and personalization function. The method comprises the steps of providing a user station including (a) a user interface, and (b) a manufacturing subsystem; enabling a user, via the user interface, to access a graphics subsystem to define a desired design to be placed on a consumer product; receiving, at the manufacturing subsystem, data descriptive of the desired design; and manufacturing, by the manufacturing subsystem at the user station, at least one component of the consumer product to have the desired design. A further step employs an e-commerce engine to conduct a financial transaction with the user in order to make an accounting for the manufactured component.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2000Publication date: May 16, 2002Inventors: Jerry Crawford, Kari Hiltunen
