  • Patent number: 10339925
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for computer-generating responses and sending responses to communications when the recipient of the communication is unavailable are disclosed. An individual may send a message (either audio or text) to a recipient. The recipient may be unavailable to contemporaneously respond to the message (e.g., the recipient may be performing an action that makes is difficult or impractical for the recipient to contemporaneously respond to the audio message). When the recipient is unavailable, a response to the message is generated and sent without receiving an instruction from the recipient to do so. The response may be sent to the message originating individual, and content of the response may thereafter be sent to the recipient to receive feedback regarding the correctness of the response. Alternatively, the response content may first be sent to the recipient to receive the feedback, and thereafter the response may be sent to the message originating individual.
