## Abstract

A method for computer control of online social interactions based on conversation processing. A portion of a conversation with a given user is recorded, stored in memory, and processed so as to influence subsequent interactions. These may include audio or other contextualized annunciations of subsequent telephone calls. Other modes addressing conversational processing for social purposes can result in interwoven conversation guided among threads of interest, advertising and incented participation of conversational content and placement. The invention is capable of implementation in telecommunications systems such as cellular, local exchange, and VOIP, and in combination with other forms of internet-based telecommunication, including smart phones and adaptive forums chat rooms.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for computer control of social interactions based on voice conversation processing with a caller from a communication event, comprising:
a network interface for accessing via a the conversation, to capture an advertisement message or commercial solicitation;
a processor for detecting the advertisement message or commercial solicitation; and
a controller for associating contextually the captured message or commercial solicitation and for extracting selectively to re-convey accordingly via the network at least a portion of the advertisement message or commercial solicitation as a notification to a new communication with the caller.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the re-conveyed portion of the advertisement message or commercial solicitation is commercially targeted adaptively, whereby such re-conveyed portion comprises an advertisement ring or an adaptive forum post.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein the re-conveyed portion of the accessed advertisement message or commercial solicitation is commercially targeted adaptively, and said re-conveyed portion further includes advertisement routing, or other content interwoven from a plurality of databases accessible via the network.

### Claim 4

Adaptive network apparatus comprising:
an interface that accesses at least one device electronically or wirelessly coupled to a network that sources interactively a voiced conversational media stream with a caller from a communication event; and
a controller that detects automatically at least one contextual feature in the conversational media stream by associating said feature with network sources, electronic advertisement, and an incented electronic payment adaptively, such that the controller extracts selectively at least a portion of the conversational media stream that relates contextually to said detected feature, and accordingly conveys said extracted portion via the network to a selected device coupled thereto as a notification to a new communication with the caller.

### Claim 5

Adaptive network or forum method comprising steps:
accessing by a network or forum interface electronically or wirelessly at least one device coupled to a network or forum that sources interactively a voiced conversational media stream with a caller from a communication event; and
detecting automatically by a controller at least one contextual feature in the conversational media stream by associating said feature with network sources, electronic advertisement, and an incented electronic payment adaptively, whereby the controller extracts selectively at least a portion of said conversational media stream that relates contextually to said detected feature, and accordingly conveys said extracted portion via the network or forum to a selected device coupled thereto as a notification to a new communication with the caller.

### Claim 6

A system for contextually-targeted delivery of all or part of advertising communications to telecommunication device users based on voice conversation processing with a caller from a communication event, comprising:
a telecommunication device having a processor for processing data extracted from the voice conversation with the caller;
a storage device coupled to the telecommunication device for storing the processed extracted data, said processed data comprising all or part of interactive feedback, speech, ringtone, video, audio, coupon, e-commerce, text, or social content;
an interface for accessing advertising information coupled to the processor for processing; and
a playback device coupled to the telecommunication device that transmits the processed data as a notification to a new communication event with the caller;
whereby the processor is adapted to modify the processed data with advertising information based on user telecommunications activities and cause the playback device to playback all or part of the stored data to the caller.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the processed data comprises at least one social recommendation coupon using a friend's voice.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the processor processes such processed data to automatically run analytic software, or monitor one or more verbal or gesture cues in the processed data.
