Abstract
Methods and systems for presence based telephony call signaling are presented. An incoming call is received at a computer, where the computer includes a computer loudspeaker and computer display. A headset donned state or a headset doffed state is identified for a wireless headset, where the wireless headset includes a headset speaker and headset output user interface. A proximity between the wireless headset and the computer is determined. An incoming call notification is output to the headset speaker, the headset output user interface, the computer loudspeaker, or the computer display responsive to identifying the headset donned state or headset doffed state and determining the headset proximity.
Claims26
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one more computers to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an incoming communication at a communication application in operation at a computer, the computer comprising a computer loudspeaker and a computer display;
- identifying a headset donned state or a headset doffed state for a wireless headset associated with the computer, the wireless headset comprising a headset speaker and a headset output user interface;
- determining a headset proximity between the wireless headset and the computer;
- and
- outputting an incoming communication notification to the headset speaker, the headset output user interface, the computer loudspeaker, or the computer display responsive to identifying the headset donned state or headset doffed state and determining the headset proximity, wherein a volume level of the computer loudspeaker is adjusted responsive to the headset proximity between the wireless headset and the computer prior to outputting an incoming communication notification at the computer loudspeaker.
A method comprising:
- receiving an incoming communication at a communication application in operation at a computer, the computer comprising a computer loudspeaker and a computer display;
- identifying a headset donned state or a headset doffed state for a wireless headset associated with the computer, the wireless headset comprising a headset speaker and a headset output user interface;
- determining a headset proximity between the wireless headset and the computer;
- and
- outputting an incoming communication notification to the headset speaker, the headset output user interface, the computer loudspeaker, or the computer display responsive to identifying the headset donned state or headset doffed state and determining the headset proximity, wherein a volume level of the computer loudspeaker is adjusted responsive to the headset proximity between the wireless headset and the computer prior to outputting an incoming communication notification at the computer loudspeaker.
A method comprising:
- receiving an incoming communication at a communication application in operation at a computer, the computer comprising a computer loudspeaker and a computer display;
- identifying a headset donned state or a headset doffed state for a wireless headset associated with the computer, the wireless headset comprising a headset speaker and a headset output user interface;
- determining a headset proximity between the wireless headset and the computer;
- and
- outputting an incoming communication notification to the headset output user interface responsive to identifying a headset doffed state and determining the proximity to be outside a pre-determined range.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one more computers to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an incoming communication at a communication application in operation at a computer, the computer comprising a computer loudspeaker and a computer display;
- identifying a headset donned state or a headset doffed state for a wireless headset associated with the computer, the wireless headset comprising a headset speaker and a headset output user interface;
- determining a headset proximity between the wireless headset and the computer;
- and
- outputting an incoming communication notification to the headset output user interface responsive to identifying a headset doffed state and determining the proximity to be outside a pre-determined range.
