  • Method and system for enhanced processing of audio messages with a data processing system
    Patent number: 5539808
    Abstract: The method and system of the present invention are provided for enhancing the processing of audio messages. A user first creates a plurality of selectable audio messages including standard format salutations, originator identification material or other such messages. The selectable audio messages are then stored within the data processing system. Thereafter, the user may explicitly or automatically designate any of the selectable audio messages to be associated with a primary message. The audio messages are then distributed, utilizing the data processing system, to designated recipients. The recipient may then utilize the associated audio message to derive additional information regarding the originator of the primary message and may also obtain access to a repository of selectable audio messages associated with the originator and request a distribution of any or all of these selectable audio messages.
