Abstract
A third UE calls the second UE, however, the second UE is on a call with a first UE, then the call controlling device provides a voice message from said third user equipment as a background voice message to the second user equipment while keeping the call between the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The “background” in the background voice message is relative to the original call, and does not have any other special meanings. Since the original call between the first UE and the second UE is not affected, for the second UE, or a second user that uses the second UE, the voice message from the third UE is a background voice message.
Claims15
A method, in a call controlling device in telecommunication networks, for providing a second user equipment which is on a call with a first user equipment with a voice message from a third user equipment, comprising:
- receiving a first request message from the third user equipment, the first request message configured to request to establish a call between the third user equipment and the second user equipment;
- detecting whether the second user equipment is on a call with the first user equipment;
- and
- if the second user equipment is on a call with the first user equipment, providing the voice message from the third user equipment as a background voice message for the second user equipment while the call between the first user equipment and the second user equipment is not affected.
A method, in a voice message server in telecommunication networks, for providing a second user equipment which is on a call with a first user equipment with a background voice message from a third user equipment, comprising:
- receiving a request message from a call controlling device, the request message configured to request to establish a call between the voice message server and the third user equipment;
- and
- sending another request message to the second user equipment, the other request message configured to request to establish a call between the voice message server and the second user equipment.
A first providing device in a call controlling device in telecommunication networks, for providing a second user equipment which is on a call with a first user equipment with a voice message from a third user equipment, comprising:
- a first receiving device configured to receive a first request message from the third user equipment, the first request message configured to request to establish a call between the third user equipment and the second user equipment;
- a detecting device configured to detect whether the second user equipment is on a call with the first user equipment;
- and
- a background voice providing device configured to provide the voice message from the third user equipment as a background voice message for the second user equipment while the call between the first user equipment and the second user equipment is not affected, if the second user equipment is on a call with the first user equipment.
A second providing device in a voice message server in telecommunication networks, for providing a second user equipment which is on a call with a first user equipment with a background voice message from a third user equipment, comprising:
- a second receiving device, configured to receive a request message from a call controlling device, the request message configured to request to establish a call between the voice message server and the third user equipment;
- and
- a second sending device, configured to send another request message to the second user equipment, the other request message configured to request to establish a call between the voice message server and the second user equipment.
