## Abstract

A method is provided for use in a first device for managing writing an answer after receiving a message coming from a second device. At least one possible answer to the message is received by the first device from the second device for selection.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising, in a second device:
receiving a second message from a source device on second communication channel, said second message involving a response;
sending a first message derived from the second message to a first device on a first communication channel, the first message adding at least one possible answer for response to the second message;
receiving a response from the first device, selected among the at least one possible answer; and
transmitting said selected response to the source through the second communication channel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1, wherein the first message relates to a given application, and said at least one possible answer is a function of the application.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A method according to claim 2, wherein the application is a telephony application, and said at least one possible answer is a function of a caller.

### Claim 4

A device referred to as a second device, including:
a hardware data medium storing instructions;
a processor, which is configured by the instructions to perform the following acts:
receiving a second message from a source device on a second communication channel, said second message involving a response;
sending a first message derived from the second message to a first device on a first communication channel, the first message adding at least one possible answer for response to the second message;
receiving a response from the first device, selected among the at least one possible answer; and
transmitting said selected response to the source through the second communication channel.

### Claim 5

A hardware data medium comprising a computer program stored thereon, the program including code instructions that, when the program is executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
receiving a second message from a source device on a second communication channel said second message involving a response;
sending a first message derived from the second message to a first device on a first communication channel, the first message adding at least one possible answer for response to the second message;
receiving a response from the first device, selected among the at least one possible answer; and
transmitting said selected response to the source through the second communication channel.
