Claims25
A device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive a call request from a calling user;
- and
- a control unit configured to, in response to a rejection regarding the call request, control the communication unit to provide a response message to the calling user, which includes a current situation based on application information about an application currently being executed.
A device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive a call request from a calling user;
- a memory configured to store time information received via an application installed in the device;
- and
- a control unit configured to, in response to a rejection regarding the call request and a time when the call request is received corresponding to the stored time information, control the communication unit to provide a response message to the calling user, which includes a current situation based on application information about the application currently being executed.
A method of providing a response message, the method comprising:
- receiving a call request from a calling user;
