Patent number: 9178988Abstract: A user device may identify a received a signal indicating an incoming call; determine that another user device has answered the call; generate call log information that indicates that the other user device has answered the call; and store or output the generated call log information. Additionally, or alternatively, a set of user devices may receive a ring signal indicating an incoming call; a particular user device, in the set of user devices, may answer the call; and another user device, in the set of user devices, may store a unified call log. The unified call log may indicate that the particular user device answered the call, and may further indicate that the other user device did not miss the call.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Rezwanul Azim, Rafael A.
