Abstract

An audio/video electronic mail system which is stored in a computer readable or access-able storage media comprises an address book providers to access to directory information; an audio/video e-mail generator coupled to the address and provided to generate an audio/video e-mail; a spooler coupled to the audio/video e-mail generator and responsible for sending messages to and receiving message from a messaging system; and a transport providers coupled to audio/video e-mail generator to handle message transmission and reception.

Claims (18)

1. A code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile phone with CDMA protocol and an audio/video electronic mail generator comprising: a control unit; an audio/video e-mail generator provided to generate an audio/video e-mail; a microphone coupled to said audio/video electronic mail generator; an image capturing device coupled to said audio/video electronic mail generator to record and capture vocal and image message of a user oneself; an address book providers to access to directory information; a spooler coupled with messaging application programming interface (MAPI) of said audio/video electronic mail generator, wherein said MAPI provides high-level function to implement sophisticated messaging features with a relatively small amount of code, a messaging application programming interface service provider located between said messaging application programming interface and a messaging system; wherein said audio/video e-mail is processed by said audio/video electronic mail generator and transmitted and received by said CDMA protocol;

when said audio/video e-mail is received by a receiver, said receiver's spooler performing post processing; wherein said receiver opens said audio/video e-mail being displayed by an audio/video type to allow said receiver output an audio message through a speaker and display a video signal on a display of said receiver.

2. A method for code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile phone to transmit and receive audio/video e-mail, comprising:

providing a CDMA mobile phone with CDMA protocol and an audio/video electronic mail generator comprising: a control unit; an audio/video e-mail generator provided to generate an audio/video e-mail; a microphone coupled to said audio/video electronic mail generator; an image capturing device coupled to said audio/video electronic mail generator; an address book providers to access to directory information; a spooler coupled with messaging application programming interface (MAPI) of said audio/video electronic mail generator, wherein said (MAPI) provides high-level function to implement sophisticated messaging features with a relatively small amount of code, a messaging application programming interface service provider located between said messaging application programming interface and a messaging system; wherein said audio/video e-mail is processed by said audio/video electronic mail generator and transmitted and received by said CDMA protocol;

activating said audio/video e-mail generator for generating at least one of audio and video e-mail;

selecting said audio/video e-mail generator to prepare said audio/video e-mail;

triggering said microphone and said image capturing device to store vocal and image message of a user oneself to generate said audio/video e-mail; and sending said audio/video e-mail through said CDMA protocol;

when said audio/video e-mail is received by a receiver, said receiver's spooler performing post processing; wherein said receiver opens said audio/video e-mail being displayed by an audio/video type to allow said receiver output an audio message through a speaker and display a video signal on a display of said receiver.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising showing text message on said display.

4. A method to transmit and receive audio/video e-mail through an audio/video electronic mail generator in a remote terminal server, comprising:

coupling a local terminal computer to said remote terminal server through an internetwork;

providing said remote terminal server with said audio/video electronic mail generator, and providing said local terminal computer with a microphone and an image capturing device, wherein said audio/video e-mail generator couples to said microphone and said image capturing device through said internet; wherein said audio/video e-mail is processed by said audio/video electronic mail generator;

activating said audio/video e-mail generator located at said remote terminal server for generating said audio/video e-mail;

selecting said audio/video e-mail generator to prepare said audio/video e-mail;

triggering said microphone and said image capturing device at said local terminal computer to store vocal and image message of a user oneself to generate said audio/video e-mail; and

sending said audio/video e-mail from said remote terminal server through said internet; when said audio/video e-mail is received by a receiver, said receiver opening said audio/video e-mail, and said audio/video e-mail being displayed by an audio/video type instead of text to allow said receiver output an audio message through a speaker and display a video signal on a display of said receiver;

wherein said remote terminal server comprising a spooler located at messaging application programming interface (MAPI) of said audio/video electronic mail generator, wherein said messaging application programming interface provides high-level function that can be used to implement sophisticated messaging features with a relatively small amount of code, a messaging application programming interface service provider located between said messaging application programming interface and a messaging system.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said remote terminal server further comprising an address book provider to access to directory information.
