System and method for providing particularized audible alerts

A system for generating a distinctive auditory alert upon receiving a telephone call, the system comprising:

• a user interface configured to receive a selection between 1) a user and 2) a calling party of a telephone call;
• a memory storing data indicative of a first plurality of sounds designating a user of a device, wherein the data corresponds to a sequence of phonemes associated with the user, the device configured to receive a telephone call;
• a sound generator at the device configured to play the first plurality of sounds in a sequence so as to identify a received telephone call being directed to the user in response to the user being selected, wherein the plurality of sounds are based on the sequence of phonemes;
• an identifier module configured to access an identifier associated with the calling party of the telephone call;
• and
• a calling party module configured to provide data indicative of a second plurality of sounds designating the calling party based on the accessed identifier in response to the calling party being selected, wherein the sound generator is further configured to play the second plurality of sounds in a sequence so as to identify the calling party.

A system for generating at least two distinctive auditory alerts upon receiving a transmission, the system comprising:

• a memory storing data indicative of a first plurality of sounds designating a user of a device, wherein the data corresponds to a sequence of phonemes associated with the user, the device configured to receive a transmission;
• a sound generator at the device configured to play the first plurality of sounds in a sequence so as to identify a received transmission being directed to the user, wherein the plurality of sounds are based on the sequence of phonemes;
• a transmission module configured to access an identifier associated with a transmitting party of the transmission;
• and
• a transmitting party module configured to provide data indicative of a second plurality of sounds designating the transmitting party based on the accessed identifier, wherein the sound generator is further configured to play the second plurality of sounds in a sequence so as to identify the transmitting party.

A telephonic device comprising software instruction code performed on the telephonic device, the instruction code configured to:

• receive from a user of the telephonic device, a selection of 1) a user, and 2) a calling party;
• produce an acoustic representation of a message, the acoustic representation comprising acoustic symbols, the acoustic symbols representing phonemes of a language, wherein the acoustic symbols comprise combinations of sounds, single sounds, and/or silence, and wherein the acoustic symbols are produced in a temporal order consistent with the language;
• and
• assign the combinations of sounds or the single sounds to the acoustic symbols,
• wherein the message comprises an identifier corresponding to the user based on the user being selected, and an identifier corresponding to the calling party based on the calling party being selected.
