Claims23
A system for annotating audible messages that are received by a subscriber of a unified communications service network, the system comprising:
- a message presentation form that enables the subscriber to access audible messages, the message presentation form further comprising:
- an audible message player that enables playback of audible messages;
- a notes field that enables the subscriber to annotate the audible messages during playback of the audible messages;
- and
- a message forwarder that enables forwarding of audible messages, wherein the annotations associated with the audible messages are forwarded at the option of the subscriber.
A method for annotating audible messages that are received by a subscriber of a unified communications service network, the method comprising:
- presenting the subscriber with a graphical user interface having a message presentation form that enables the subscriber to access audible messages;
- providing an audible message player associated with the graphical user interface that enables playback of audible messages;
- providing a notes field associated with the graphical user interface that enables the subscriber to annotate the audible messages during playback of the audible messages;
- and
- providing a message forwarder associated with the graphical user interface that enables forwarding of audible messages to other recipients wherein the annotations in the notes field associated with the audible messages are forwarded at the option of the subscriber.
A system for annotating audible messages that are received by a subscriber of a unified communications service network, the system comprising:
- message presentation form providing means for enabling the subscriber to access audible messages, the message presentation form means further comprising:
- audible message player means for enabling playback of audible messages;
- notes field means for enabling the subscriber to annotate the audible messages during playback of the audible messages;
- and
- message forwarder means for enabling forwarding of audible messages to other recipients wherein annotations in the private notes field means associated with the audible messages are forwarded at the option of the subscriber.
A processor readable medium having process readable code embodied therein for causing a processor to annotate audible messages that are received by a subscriber of a unified communications service network, the processor readable medium comprising:
- processor readable code that enables a processor to present a message presentation form that enables the subscriber to access audible messages, the message presentation form further comprising:
- an audible message player that enables playback of audible messages;
- and
- a notes field that enables the subscriber to annotate the audible messages during playback of the audible messages;
- processor readable code that enables a processor to provide a message forwarder that enables forwarding of audible messages to other recipients wherein annotations in the notes field associated with the audible messages are forwarded at the option of the subscriber.
