Abstract
Interactive calling may enable users to share call previews and reactions associated with calls, and generate call summaries. Methods and systems for interactive calling may include receiving a callee identifier from a caller device, determining a callee device associated with the callee identifier, and transmitting a call preview received from the caller device to the callee device simultaneously with an attempt to initiate a call between the caller device and the callee device.
Claims26
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, a request from a caller device associated with a user and identified by a caller identifier, the request including the caller identifier, a callee identifier, and a call preview, wherein the call preview was input on the caller device;
- determining, using the processor, using a database stored on an electronic storage device in electronic communication with the processor, a callee device associated with the callee identifier;
- instructing, using the processor, a call interface to initiate a call, wherein the call interface is configured to connect the call to the caller device and the callee device;
- and
- sending, using the processor, call metadata to the callee device, the call metadata including the call preview.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- an electronic storage device in electronic communication with the processor, the electronic storage device having a database stored thereon;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive a request from a caller device associated with a user and identified by a caller identifier, the request including the caller identifier, a callee identifier, and a call preview, wherein the call preview was input on the caller device;
- determine, using the database, a callee device associated with the callee identifier;
- instruct a call interface to initiate a call, wherein the call interface is configured to connect the call to the caller device and the callee device;
- and
- send call metadata to the callee device, the call metadata including the call preview.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which when implemented by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a request from a caller device associated with a user and identified by a caller identifier, the request including the caller identifier, a callee identifier, and a call preview, wherein the call preview was input on the caller device;
- determining a callee device associated with the callee identifier;
- instructing call interface to initiate a call, wherein the call interface is configured to connect the call to the caller device and the callee device;
- and
- sending call metadata to the callee device, the call metadata including the call preview.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a callee identifier from a caller device;
- determining a callee device associated with the callee identifier;
- and
- transmitting a call preview received from the caller device to the callee device simultaneously with an attempt to initiate a call between the caller device and the callee device.
