Abstract
A method of configuring a mobile communication device for communication of audio files over a communications network via the download of program code, the method comprising storing the program code in a memory of the mobile communication device; obtaining an audio file; linking the audio file with an identifier associated with a remote receiving communication device; seeking to establish a connection with the remote receiving communication device using the identifier, and upon establishing a connection with the remoter communication device, opening the audio file from the memory of the mobile communication device and playing the audio file to the remote communication device.
Claims18
A mobile communication device for the communication of at least one audio file to a remote communication device over a communication network, the device comprising:
- means for associating the at least one audio file with an identifier of the remote communication device;
- means for seeking and establishing a voice connection with the remote communication device via the identifier;
- and
- means for playing the associated audio file across the connection, upon establishing a connection with the remote communication device;
- the device being configured for telephonic voice communication over the communications network and further comprising a microphone for the telephonic voice communication, and means for muting the microphone upon the device establishing the connection with the remote communication device.
A method of enabling a mobile communication device to communicate an audio file to a remote communication device, the communication device having a microphone for telephonic voice communication, the method comprising:
- associating the audio file with an identifier of the remote communication device;
- establishing a voice connection with the remote communication device using the identifier and,
- upon establishing the voice connection, playing the audio file across the connection, and muting the microphone during the playing of the audio file.
A method of configuring a mobile communication device for communication of audio files over a communications network via the download of program code, the communication device having a microphone for telephonic voice communication, the method comprising:
- storing the program code in a memory of the mobile communication device;
- obtaining an audio file;
- linking the audio file with an identifier associated with a remote receiving communication device;
- seeking to establish a voice connection with the remote receiving communication device using the identifier, and
- upon establishing a voice connection with the remoter communication device, opening the audio file from the memory of the mobile communication device and playing the audio file to the remote communication device while muting the microphone.
A carrier medium comprising processor readable code for controlling a processor in a mobile communications device having a microphone for telephonic voice communication, in order to enable the device to communicate an audio file to a remote communication device, according to the following method:
- obtaining an audio file;
- linking the audio file with an identifier associated with the remote communication device;
- seeking to establish a voice connection with the remote communication device using the identifier, and
- upon establishing a voice connection with the remote communication device, opening the audio file and playing the audio file to the remote communication device while muting the microphone.
