Abstract
Data processing and communications devices are configured to generate, using command signals received from at least one user input device, a signal set representing a meeting request, the meeting request signal set comprising signals representing one or more parameters for a proposed meeting and configured for causing a second data processing and communications device to initiate a voice call on receipt of command signals representing a response to the meeting request; and forward the generated meeting request signal set to the second data processing and communications device.
Claims14
A data processing and communications device, comprising at least one data processor configured to execute machine-interpretable instructions for causing the device to:
- generate, using command signals received from at least one input device, a signal set representing a meeting request, the meeting request signal set comprising signals representing one or more parameters for a proposed meeting and configured for causing a second data processing and communications device to initiate a voice call on receipt of command signals representing a response to the meeting request, when the response is other than an accept response;
- forward the generated meeting request signal set to the second data processing and communications device;
- receive a signal set representing a non-voice data set representing the response to the meeting request, the non-voice data set including information about the response to the meeting request;
- determine that the signal set representing the non-voice data set was received in absence of a signal set representing establishment of the voice call;
- in response to the determination, generate signals for indicating that an attempt to establish the voice call was unsuccessful;
- and
- store reply information data containing information about the non-voice data set.
A computer program product having computer executable instructions tangibly recorded thereon, the instructions comprising code to cause a data processing and communications device to:
- generate, using command signals received from at least one input device, a signal set representing a meeting request, the meeting request signal set comprising signals representing one or more parameters for a proposed meeting and configured for causing a second data processing and communications device to initiate a voice call on receipt of command signals representing a response to the meeting request, when the response is other than an accept response;
- forward the generated meeting request signal set to the second data processing and communications device;
- receive a signal set representing a non-voice data set representing the response to the meeting request, the non-voice data set including information about the response to the meeting request;
- determine that the signal set representing the non-voice data set was received in absence of a signal set representing establishment of the voice call;
- generate, in response to the determination, signals for indicating that an attempt to establish the voice call was unsuccessful;
- and
- store reply information data containing information about the non-voice data set.
