Abstract: Visual voicemail is dynamically organized according to detected criteria. Voicemail may be automatically associated with a category, priority, or other attribute. The attributes may be assigned based on user-configured associations with particular senders, the detection of user-defined words or phrases within the voicemail, or on other attributes such as the voicemail sender's relative location to the voicemail recipient. Voicemail may be visually identified as being associated with one or more attributes, and may be organized and presented to a user based on the associated attributes. Actions may be performed and the voicemail may be manipulated based on the attributes.

Abstract: A recording device provides conversation recording with real-time notification between users of communication terminals engaged in a conversation. The recording device provides a recording start notification to a second communication terminal in response to receiving an initiate recording request from a first communication terminal, and initiates recording of the conversation. The recording device terminates recording of the conversation in response to receiving a terminate recording request from the first communication terminal, provides a recording stop notification to the second communication terminal, and saves the recorded conversation to a file in a file storage medium. The recording start and recording stop notifications can be either audible or electronic notifications. The first communication terminal may be muted prior to providing a notification, and un-muted subsequent to the notification. The recording device may obtain permission from the second communication terminal to record the conversation.

Abstract: A device holster configured to hold a device and at least one accessory module is disclosed. The accessory module can be an electronic module or a non-electronic module. In one embodiment, the accessory module is inserted into a pouch. The pouch includes a pouch interface for communication of data and/or transmission of power between an accessory module interface and a device interface. The pouch can be positioned on a face of the device holster or alternatively may be hingedly connected to the device holster. The accessory module may alternatively be built into the device holster or removably attached. The device holster may be integrated into an article of clothing or itself may be an article of clothing.

Abstract: A way to modify a media file to include an advertisement is described herein. A media includes, but is not limited to, broadcast television, video, or music. The content of the media is analyzed to determine an appropriate advertisement to be inserted into the media content. For example, the advertisement may be a pizza commercial inserted into media that is popular among college age individuals. The content of the media may be further analyzed to determine an appropriate position within the media to insert the advertisement. For example, the pizza commercial may be inserted after a scene in which the characters are eating. Another example may be the insertion of a dating service commercial in a movie immediately following a dating scene in the movie.

Abstract: A technique for managing simultaneous incoming and outgoing calls between the same far-end called terminal and far-end calling terminal and/or same user associated with a far-end called terminal and user associated with the far-end calling terminal includes an easy call abandon facility on a near-end terminal configured to compare information associated with an outgoing call to information associated with an incoming call. The easy call abandon facility is configured to initiate an audible or visible indicator when the terminal and/or user of the far-end called party is the same as that of the far-end calling party. In response to an easy call abandon indication received from a near-end terminal user, the easy call abandon facility disconnects the call from the near-end and connects the call received from the far-end terminal.

Abstract: A system and method for managing an event related message by a user of a mobile station connected to a network is disclosed. The system and method provides a user with the ability to pre record a message to be delivered at a date associated with an event pertinent to the recipient of the message. A reminder capability for other contacts about the event is provided as is a merchandizing capability for the network operator.

Abstract: Messages in a message system are converted from one format to another format in accordance with preferred message formats and/or conditions. Message formats can include text messages, multimedia messages, visual voicemail messages, and/or other audio/visual messages. Based on conditions such as recipient device location or velocity and a preferred message format a message can be converted into an appropriate transmission format and transmitted and/or communicated to the recipient in its appropriate format (e.g., text, multimedia, audio, etc. . . . ).

Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can anticipate relevant events associated with a profile derived from a wireless service account provision. In addition, the architecture can provide one or more recommendation for confronting the event, and further prioritize both the event and the associated recommendation(s). In an aspect of the disclosed subject matter, the priority ascribed to a particular event (or recommendation associated therewith) can be dependent upon the unique profile of the client and can further be dependent upon other contemporaneous events.
