Subscriber terminal for a radio system and an arrangement, a method and a computer program for presenting contact attempts to a subscriber terminal of a radio system
View Patent ↗A subscriber terminal for a radio system and an arrangement, a method and a computer program for presenting contact attempts to a subscriber terminal of a radio system are disclosed. The subscriber terminal includes: a transceiver configured to receive calls and messages; a control unit connected to the transceiver configured to save unanswered call data and messages relating to unanswered calls, and to constitute contact attempts from the unanswered call data and the messages relating to the unanswered calls; and a user interface connected to the control unit configured to present the contact attempts.
1. A subscriber terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive calls and text messages;
a control unit connected to the transceiver configured to save received unanswered call data, save received text messages, wherein the control unit of the subscriber terminal is further configured to constitute a collection of both received unanswered call data and at least one saved received text message by combining together the unanswered call data and the saved received text messages, which both refer to the same caller, into a single contact attempt related to the caller, wherein content of the at least one saved received text message is descriptive of a reason for the unanswered call data, and wherein the control unit is configured to find a reference to the same caller if both the unanswered call data and the saved received text message both contain the same caller identifier; and
a user interface connected to the control unit and configured to present the single contact attempt comprising the content of the at least one saved received text message to indicate the reason for the unanswered call data.
2. The subscriber terminal of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to display in the user interface the single contact attempt within a list of contact attempts.
3. The subscriber terminal of claim 2 , wherein the control unit is configured to display the list of contact attempts as a list of callers.
4. The subscriber terminal of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to receive a selection regarding the contact attempt from the user interface and to display the selected contact attempt in more detail in the user interface.
5. The subscriber terminal of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to fetch a name for the caller present in the contact attempt from a phonebook and to display the name of the caller in the user interface.
6. The subscriber terminal of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to display in the user interface a selection mechanism, which, when selected, makes a contact to a caller of the selected contact attempt.
7. An arrangement in a subscriber terminal comprising:
receiving means for receiving calls and text messages at the subscriber terminal;
saving means for saving received unanswered call data and saving received text messages;
constituting means for constituting a collection of both received unanswered call data and at least one saved received text message by combining together the unanswered call data and the saved received text messages at the subscriber terminal, which both refer to the same caller, into a single contact attempt related to the caller, wherein content of the at least one saved received text message is descriptive of a reason for the calls, and wherein the constituting means finds a reference to the same caller if both the unanswered call data and the saved received text message both contain the same caller identifier; and
presenting means for presenting the single contact attempt comprising the content of the at least one saved received text message to indicate the reason for the calls.
8. The arrangement of claim 7 , wherein presenting means displays the contact attempts within a list of contact attempts.
9. The arrangement of claim 8 , wherein the presenting means displays the list of contact attempts as a list of callers.
10. The arrangement of claim 7 , wherein the presenting means receives a selection regarding the contact attempt and displays the selected contact attempt in more detail.
11. The arrangement of claim 7 , wherein the presenting means fetches a name for the caller present in the contact attempt from a phonebook and displays the name of the caller.
12. The arrangement of claim 7 , wherein the presenting means displays a selection mechanism, which, when selected, makes a contact to a caller of the selected contact attempt.
13. A method arranged to be implemented in a subscriber terminal comprising:
receiving calls and text messages at the subscriber terminal;
saving received unanswered call data and received text messages;
constituting a collection of both received unanswered call data and at least one saved received text message by combining together the unanswered call data and the saved received text messages at the subscriber terminal, which both refer to the same caller, into a single contact attempt related to the caller, wherein content of the at least one saved received text message is descriptive of a reason for the calls, and wherein a reference to the same caller is found if both the unanswered call data and the saved received text message both contain the same caller identifier; and
presenting the single contact attempt comprising the content of the at least one saved received text message to indicate the reason for the calls.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: displaying the single contact attempt within a list of contact attempts.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising: displaying the list of contact attempts as a list of callers.
16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: receiving a selection regarding the contact attempt and displaying the selected contact attempt in more detail.
17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: fetching a name for the caller present in the contact attempt and displaying the name of the caller.
18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: displaying a selection mechanism, which, when selected, makes a contact to a caller of the selected contact attempt.
19. A non-transitory computer program storage medium readable by a computer and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process for presenting contact attempts to a subscriber terminal of a radio system, the process arranged to be implemented in the subscriber terminal comprising:
saving received unanswered call data and received text messages at the subscriber terminal;
combining together both received unanswered call data and at least one saved received text message, which both refer to the same caller, at the subscriber terminal into a single contact attempt related to the caller, wherein content of the at least one saved received text message is descriptive of a reason for the unanswered call data, and wherein a reference to the same caller is found if both the unanswered call data and the at least one saved received text message both contain the same caller identifier; and
presenting, with a user interface of the subscriber terminal, the single contact attempt comprising the content of the at least one saved received text message to indicate the reason for the unanswered call data.
20. The non-transitory computer program storage medium of claim 19 , further comprising: displaying the single contact attempt within a list of contact attempts with the user interface.
21. The non-transitory computer program storage medium of claim 20 , further comprising: displaying the list of contact attempts as a list of callers with the user interface.
22. The non-transitory computer program storage medium of claim 19 , further comprising: receiving a selection regarding the contact attempt and displaying the selected contact attempt in more detail with the user interface.
23. The non-transitory computer program storage medium of claim 19 , further comprising: fetching a name for the caller present in the contact attempt and displaying the name of the caller with the user interface.
24. The non-transitory computer program storage medium of claim 19 , further comprising: displaying a selection mechanism with the user interface, which, when selected, makes a contact to a caller of the selected contact attempt.
25. The non-transitory computer program storage medium of claim 19 , the storage medium comprising a computer readable medium, a record medium, a computer readable memory, a computer readable software distribution package, and a computer readable compressed software package.
