  • Patent number: 10049688
    Abstract: A method of handling telephone on-hold music, provided by a second party to a first party on a telephone connection between the first and the second party, includes detecting on-hold music, and providing, while on-hold music is detected, and to the first party, content from a source that is independent from the second party. A length of the most recently received audio signal originating from the second party is continuously stored. When on-hold music is no longer detected, voice information is retrieved from the stored length of the most recently received audio signal, providing, to the first party, content from a source that is independent from the second party is stopped, and the retrieved voice information is reproduced to the first party, wherein a time offset that corresponds to a time period required for detection of on-hold music is present.
