Abstract
A method provides techniques for creating automated customized incoming call announcements. The method includes obtaining audio voice data for a voice conversation from a call between a user of the communication device and a second person. The audio voice data is then parsed to identify a salutation issued by one of the user and the second person in the audio voice data. An audible incoming call announcement is generated to associate with the second person, based at least in part on the salutation. In response to receiving an incoming call originating from a device of the second user, outputting the audible incoming call announcement in lieu of a default call announcement.
Claims20
A communication device comprising:
- at least one output device;
- a memory having stored thereon an automatic call announcement (ACA) module;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the at least one processor executing program code of the ACA module, and is configured to cause the communication device to:
- obtain audio voice data for a voice conversation from a call between a user of the communication device and a second person;
- parse the audio voice data to identify a salutation issued by at least one of the user and the second person in the audio voice data;
- generate an audible incoming call announcement to associate with the second person, in part based on the salutation;
- and
- in response to receiving an incoming call originating from a device of the second person, output the audible incoming call announcement in lieu of a default call announcement.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor of a communication device, audio voice data for a voice conversation from a call between a user of the communication device and a second person;
- parsing the audio voice data to identify a salutation issued by at least one of the user and the second person in the audio voice data;
- generating an audible incoming call announcement to associate with the second person, in part based on the salutation;
- and
- in response to receiving an incoming call originating from a device of the second person, outputting the audible incoming call announcement in lieu of a default call announcement.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions that when executed by a processor of a communication device, configure the communication device to perform functions comprising:
- obtaining audio voice data for a voice conversation from a call between a user of the communication device and a second person;
- parsing the audio voice data to identify a salutation issued by at least one of the user and the second person in the audio voice data;
- generating an audible incoming call announcement, in part based on the salutation;
- and
- in response to receiving an incoming call originating from a device of the second person, outputting the audible incoming call announcement in lieu of a default call announcement.
