  • Patent number: 9992343
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide real-time translation of a voicemail into a readable format as the voicemail is being recorded. In some cases, a system server records the voicemail by first answering a call from an originating device that goes unanswered by a destination device. Upon answering the call, the system server translates the recording, while it is being recorded, into a readable format. Alternately or additionally, the system server forwards portions of the readable format to the destination device. In turn, as the destination device receives portion(s) of the real-time translation, it can display the associated content, and/or update what is displayed as new portions are received. At times, the destination device provides additional call control that interrupts the voicemail while it is being recorded at the system server, and redirects the call to the destination device if the originating device is still connected.

  • Publication number: 20120323933
    Abstract: Embodiments prioritize notifications relating to received communication items for display to a user of a computing device. For each received communication item, the computing device searches for related user data items such as calendar data, contacts, emails, and the like. Each of the user data items has a priority value. The computing device calculates a priority score for the notification based on the priority values associated with the related user data items. The notification is displayed among other notifications based on the calculated priority score relative to the priority scores of the other notifications. In some embodiments, the notifications include an ordered set of notifications displayed as tiles on a user interface of a mobile computing device.
