Method and apparatus for creating an answer tone for a computing device with phone capabilities or a telephone
A method and apparatus for creating an answer tone for a computing device with phone capabilities or a telephone is disclosed.
1. A method for generating an answer tone, comprising:
selecting a track;
determining if a user who selected the track owns full track rights for that track;
generating a clip when the user has the full track rights;
previewing said clip;
purchasing said clip;
associating said clip with a first computing device;
storing said clip on a second computing device; and
transmitting said clip from said second computing device to said first computing device as an answer tone when said first computing device initiates a phone call.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the clip is an audio clip.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the clip is an audio and video clip.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said generating step is performed on said first computing device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first computing device is a mobile computing device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said second computing device is a server.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein said second computing device is a server.
8. A system for generating an answer tone, comprising:
a first computing device configured to enable a user to select a track;
a second computing device coupled to said first computing device, said second
computing device configured to determining if said user owns full track rights for that track;
said first computing device further configured to generate a clip when the user has the
full track rights, to enable the user to preview said clip, and to enable the user to purchase said clip;
said second computing device further configured to associate said clip with a third computing device and to transmit said clip to said third computing device as an answer tone when said third computing device initiates a phone call.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein said clip is an audio clip.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein said clip is an audio and video clip.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein said first computing device and said third computing device are the same device.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein said second computing device is a server.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein said third computing device is a mobile computing device.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein said third computing device is a mobile computing device.
