Abstract
A voice message repositioning process is provided for a voice message system that stores voice messages for a user of the system and provides feedback to the user of the progress of repositioning the playback of a voice message. A voice message is repositioned upon receipt of a command to begin repositioning. Feedback is provided to the user via a supervisory signal during repositioning. The repositioning is stopped upon receipt of a command by the user to stop repositioning.
Claims12
A voice message repositioning method for a voice message system that stores voice messages for a user of the system and provides feedback to the user regarding the progress of repositioning the playback of a voice message, the repositioning method comprising the steps of:
- (a) repositioning the voice message upon receipt of a start command to begin repositioning, wherein the start command is communicated from a telephone to the voice message system;
- (b) providing feedback to the user via a supervisory signal during repositioning, wherein the supervisory signal is a vibratory signal;
- and
- (c) stopping the repositioning upon receipt of a stop command initiated by the user to stop the repositioning, wherein the stop command is communicated from the telephone to the voice message system.
A voice message repositioning method for a voice message system that stores voice messages for a user of the system and provides feedback to the user regarding the progress of repositioning the playback of a voice message, the repositioning method comprising the steps of:
- (a) repositioning the voice message upon receipt of a start command to begin repositioning, wherein the start command is communicated from a telephone to the voice message system;
- (b) providing feedback to the user via a supervisory signal during repositioning, wherein the supervisory signal operates at variable intervals;
- and
- (c) stopping the repositioning upon receipt of a stop command initiated by the user to stop the repositioning, wherein the stop command is communicated from the telephone to the voice message system.
A voice message repositioning method for a voice message system that stores voice messages for a user of the system and provides feedback to the user regarding the progress of repositioning the playback of a voice message, the repositioning method comprising the steps of:
- (a) repositioning the voice message upon receipt of a start command to begin repositioning, wherein the start command is communicated from a telephone to the voice message system, and wherein the repositioning comprises rewinding;
- (b) providing feedback to the user via a supervisory signal during repositioning;
- and
- (c) stopping the repositioning substantially at the beginning of the message and playing a message envelope before playing the message from the beginning, wherein stopping the repositioning occurs upon receipt of a stop command initiated by the user and wherein the stop command is communicated from the telephone to the voice message system.
A voice message repositioning system that stores voice messages for a user of the system and provides feedback to the user regarding the progress of repositioning the playback of a voice message, the system comprising:
- (a) a processor;
- and
- (b) a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing program code implemented by the processor for:
- (i) repositioning the voice message upon receipt of a start command to begin repositioning, wherein the system is adapted for receiving the start command from a telephone;
- (ii) providing feedback to the user via a supervisory signal during repositioning, wherein the supervisory signal is a vibratory signal;
- and
- (iii) stopping the repositioning upon receipt of a command by the user to stop repositioning, wherein the system is adapted for receiving the stop command from the telephone.
