Methods, systems and computer program products for enhanced call screening

A method, comprising:

• receiving voice message recording requests to begin recording a respective incoming voice message;
• sending a voicemail recording phase indicator to a remote server in response to the voice message recording request;
• selecting at least one call recipient device from a plurality of call recipient devices in response to each of the voicemail recording phase indicators, wherein each of the plurality of call recipient devices is prioritized in accordance with a call recipient profile;
• establishing a first communicative connection between the voicemail server and the at least one call recipient device in response to the selection of the at least one call recipient device based on an instruction from the remote server;
• establishing a second communicative connection, independent from the first communicative connection, to the at least one call recipient device in response to each of the voicemail recording phase indicators;
• transmitting from a media processing module to the at least one call recipient device a plurality data streams each comprising one of the incoming voice messages in real-time recording progress;
• receiving an interruption indicator from the at least one call recipient device after initiating transmission of the data stream;
• and
• establishing a two-way communicative connection between the at least one call recipient device and a caller device in response to receipt of the interruption indicator.

A method, comprising:

• connecting via a first communicative link to a voicemail server based on a first instruction from a remote server, wherein the first instruction from the remote server is sent based to the selection of the at least on call recipient device at the remote server;
• connecting via a second communicative link, independent from the first communicative link, to the at least one call recipient device from a plurality of call recipient devices in response to the voicemail recording phase indicator, and wherein the at least one call recipient device comprises at least two call recipient devices, each of the plurality of call recipient devices is prioritized in accordance with a call recipient profile, and sequentially establishing the communicative connection between the voicemail server and each of the at least two call recipient devices in accordance with at least one of authorization level priorities, order priorities, importance priorities, and time period forwarding priorities, wherein each priority is derived from the call recipient profile;
• receiving data streams of incoming voice messages in real-time recording progress from the voicemail server;
• instructing configuration of the data streams in accordance with a hardware-specific data format based on a hardware profile associated with the at least one call recipient device, wherein the hardware profile is linked to a call recipient profile;
• receiving an interruption indicator from the at least one call recipient device after initiation of transmission of the data stream;
• and
• establishing a two-way communicative connection between the at least one call recipient device and a caller device in response to receipt of the interruption indicator.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in communication with the processor and containing program instructions;
• an input and output in communication with the processor and memory comprising a graphical interface;
• wherein the processor executes program instructions contained in the memory, and the program instructions comprise instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• receive voicemail recording phase indicators, wherein each of the voicemail recording phase indicators indicates initiation of a recording phase for a respective one of incoming voice messages by a voicemail server;
• select at least one call recipient device from a plurality of call recipient devices in response to each of the voicemail recording phase indicators, wherein each of the plurality of call recipient devices is prioritized in accordance with a call recipient profile;
• establish a first communicative connection between the voicemail server and the at least one call recipient device in response to the selection of the at least one call recipient device;
• establish a second communicative connection, independent from the first communicative connection, to the at least one call recipient device in response to each of the voicemail recording phase indicators;
• transmit by a media processing module of a plurality of data streams for playback of the incoming voice message in recording progress to the at least one call recipient device;
• receive an interruption indicator from the at least one call recipient device after initiating transmission of the data stream;
• and
• establish a two-way communicative connection between the at least one call recipient device and a caller device in response to receipt of the interruption indicator.

A non-transitory computer program product, comprising:

• processor readable instructions stored in the computer program product, wherein the processor readable instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
• receive voicemail recording phase indicators, wherein each of the voicemail recording phase indicators indicates initiation of a recording phase for a respective one of incoming voice messages by a voicemail server;
• select at least one call recipient device from a plurality of call recipient devices in response to each of the voicemail recording phase indicators, wherein each of the plurality of call recipient devices is prioritized in accordance with a call recipient profile;
• establish a first communicative connection between the voicemail server and the at least one call recipient device in response to the selection of the at least one call recipient device;
• and
• establish a second communicative connection, independent from the first communicative connection, to the at least one call recipient device in response to each of the voicemail recording phase indicators;
• receive a plurality of data streams via the first communicative connection, wherein each of the data streams comprises one of the incoming voice messages in recording progress;
• and
• transmit the data streams for playback of the incoming voice message in recording progress from a media processing module to the at least one call recipient device;
• receive an interruption indicator from the at least one call recipient device after initiating transmission of the data stream;
• and
• establish a two-way communicative connection between the at least one call recipient device and a caller device in response to receipt of the interruption indicator.
