Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for managing the communications and information resources of a user. Identity information relating to the user is received. The user's preference for withholding an incoming communication is obtained. An entry is created in a message log for the withheld communication. The user is not notified of receipt of the withheld communication, yet receipt of the withheld communication is logged in the message log.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting an ongoing voice communication between a first participant and one or more additional participants;
- presenting, to the first participant and in association with the ongoing voice communication including the first participant and the one or more additional participants, a call in progress interface comprising identification information associated with the one or more additional participants of the ongoing voice communication and further comprising communication options associated with the ongoing voice communication;
- receiving an incoming voice communication intended for the first participant during the ongoing voice communication;
- presenting, to the first participant and without interrupting the ongoing voice communication, an incoming voice communication interface, the incoming voice communication interface comprising multiple selectable actions related to the incoming voice communication;
- detecting, during the ongoing voice communication, a selection of an action from among the multiple selectable actions of the incoming voice communication interface;
- and
- performing, using at least one processor and in response to the detected selection, the selected action with respect to the incoming voice communication.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer device to:
- detect an ongoing voice communication between a first participant and one or more additional participants
- present, to the participant and in association with the ongoing voice communication including the first participant and the one or more additional participants, a call in progress interface comprising identification information associated with the one or more additional participants of the ongoing voice communication and further communication options associated with the ongoing voice communication;
- receive an incoming voice communication intended for the first participant during the ongoing voice communication;
- present, to the first participant and without interrupting the ongoing voice communication, an incoming voice communication interface, the incoming voice communication interface comprising multiple selectable actions related to the incoming voice communication;
- detect, during the ongoing voice communication, a selection of an action from the multiple selectable actions of the incoming voice communication interface;
- and
- perform, using at least one processor and in response to the detected selection, the selected action with respect to the incoming voice communication.
4 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- detect an ongoing voice communication between a first participant and one or more additional participants;
- present, to the first participant and in association with the ongoing voice communication including the first participant and the one or more additional participants, a call in progress interface comprising identification information associated with the one or more additional participants of the ongoing voice communication and further comprising communication options associated with the ongoing voice communication;
- receive an incoming voice communication intended for the first participant during the ongoing voice communication;
- present, to the first participant and without interrupting the ongoing voice communication, an incoming voice communication interface, the incoming voice communication comprising multiple selectable actions related to the incoming voice communication;
- detect, during the ongoing voice communication, a selection of an action from among the multiple selectable actions of the incoming voice communication interface;
- and
- perform, using at least one processor and in response to the detected selection, the selected action with respect to the incoming voice communication.
