Abstract: A visual voicemail (VVM) service uses the MMS (Multimedia Message System) system as a transport mechanism to deliver a voicemail payload to a client VVM application on a mobile device such as a cellular phone or smartphone. The payload is identified as a voicemail using a specific identifier included in a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) Push message that provides a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that the VVM client application follows to download the voicemail as an attachment to an MMS message from the VVM service. Regular MMS messages that are not associated with the specific identifier are handled by a conventional messaging application on the mobile device while VVM messages are handled by the client VVM application for presentation in visual form on a user interface supported by the mobile device.

Abstract: An automated technique is discussed for processing audio data and generating one or more actions in response thereto. In particular embodiments, the audio data can be obtained during a phone conversation and post-call actions can be provided to the user with contextually relevant entry points for completion by an associated application. Audio transcription services available on a remote server can be leveraged. The entry points can be generated based on keyword recognition in the transcription and passed to the application in the form of parameters.
