Abstract
A method for operating a device. The method is performed by a processing unit of the device and includes: detecting, during a first call between the device and at least one other party through a network server implementing a communication hold service, an intent of a user of the device to avoid disturbing the first call; and instructing the network server to disable playing an announcement message to the at least one other party of the first call if the communication hold service is triggered.
Claims15
A method for operating a device, wherein the method is performed by a processing unit of the device and comprises:
- detecting, during a first call between the device and at least one other party through a network server implementing a communication hold service, an intent of a user of the device to avoid disturbing said first call;
- and
- instructing said network server to disable playing an announcement message to said other party of said first call in response to the communication hold service being triggered.
A method for operating a network server implementing a communication hold service, wherein the method is performed by a processing unit of the server and comprises:
- receiving from a device, during a first call between the device and at least one other party through the network server, a first instruction to disable playing an announcement message to said at least one other party of said first call in response to the communication hold service being triggered;
- receiving, from the device, a second instruction to trigger the communication hold service;
- and
- placing said at least one other party on hold without playing the announcement message to said at least one other party.
An electronic device comprising:
- a processing unit configured to implement:
- detecting, during a first call between the device and at least one other party through a network server implementing a communication hold service, an intent of a user of the device to avoid disturbing said first call;
- and
- instructing said network server to disable playing an announcement message to said at least one other party of said first call in response to the communication hold service being triggered.
A network server comprising:
- a processing unit configured to implement:
- receiving from a device, during a first call between the device and at least one other party through the network server, a first instruction to disable playing an announcement message to said at least one other party of said first call in response to the communication hold service being triggered;
- receiving, from the device, a second instruction to trigger the communication hold service;
- and
- placing said at least one other party on hold without playing the announcement message to said at least one other party.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, on which is stored a computer program product comprising code instructions for executing a method for operating a device when the instructions are executed by a processor of the device, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting, during a first call between the device and at least one other party through a network server implementing a communication hold service, an intent of a user of the device to avoid disturbing said first call;
- and
- instructing said network server to disable playing an announcement message to said other party of said first call in response to the communication hold service being triggered.
