  • Patent number: 9198008
    Abstract: A method of operating a cellular telephone comprises presenting a user with an option of a first rule or a second rule, and accepting a selection of the first rule or the second rule. The first rule relates to a voice message, and the second rule relates to a text message. The method determines that reception is not sufficient to establish communication, and stores an address of an intended recipient. The method also stores the voice message if the first rule was selected or the text message if the second rule was selected. When reception is sufficient to establish communication, the stored message is sent to the address.

  • Patent number: 8612571
    Abstract: A method of determining the number of recipients for an audio content item includes receiving a packet associated with the audio content item at a network monitoring device. The monitoring device includes a packet inspection module that analyzes a data payload of the packet to identify the audio content item. In an embodiment, the packet inspection module identifies the audio content item by determining an audio signature based on the payload, and comparing the signature to a set of known signatures. Once the audio content item is identified, an indicator is recorded to indicate that the content item was communicated. By aggregating the recorded indicators, the number of recipients for the audio content item is determined.
