Abstract
In accordance with one or more aspects, criteria including both a type of communication and a user signal are received. Additionally, a response to be stored as a pre-determined response is received. Both the criteria and the response are stored. When a communication satisfying the criteria (both the type of communication and the user signal) is subsequently received, the pre-determined response is sent to the device from which the communication is received.
Claims20
A method implemented in a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving criteria including both a type of communication and a user signal;
- receiving a response to be stored as a pre-determined response;
- storing, in a response collection including multiple pre-determined responses and corresponding criteria for each of the multiple pre-determined responses, both the pre-determined response and the criteria for subsequent sending of the pre-determined response when a communication and user signal satisfying the criteria are received, the stored criteria including both the type of communication and the user signal;
- receiving a communication of the type from a different device;
- receiving the user signal from a user of the wireless device;
- identifying, based at least in part on both the type and the user signal, the pre-determined response;
- and
- sending, to the different device, the pre-determined response.
One or more computer storage media devices having stored thereon multiple instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first wireless device, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive at the first wireless device, from a second device, a communication of a first type;
- receive a first signal from a user of the first wireless device;
- identify from a response collection in which multiple pre-determined responses and corresponding criteria for each of the multiple pre-determined responses are stored, based at least in part on both the first type and the first signal, a pre-determined response to the communication, the stored criteria for a corresponding pre-determined response including both the first type of communication and the first user signal;
- and
- send, to the second device, the pre-determined response.
A wireless device comprising:
- a response generation module to:
- receive criteria including both a first type of communication and a first user signal;
- receive a response to be stored as a pre-determined response;
- and
- store, in a response collection maintaining multiple pre-determined responses and corresponding criteria for each of the multiple pre-determined responses, both the pre-determined response and the criteria, the stored criteria including both the first type of communication and the first user signal;
- and
- a matching module to:
- receive, from a different device, a communication of the first type;
- receive the first user signal from a user of the wireless device;
- identify from the response collection, based at least in part on both the first type and the first user signal, the pre-determined response;
- and
- send, to the different device, the pre-determined response.
