Systems, methods, devices and arrangements for unified messaging
View Patent ↗A system or device can be configured with a first interface that is configured and arranged to provide content to a remote web-browser. This first interface can be provided by a computer server designed to implement a website. A second interface is configured and arranged to communicate content of an audio telephone calls with a remote audio-enabled device. This second interface can also communicate video content, text content, document sharing content and/or desktop sharing content. A processing circuit is configured and arranged to establish an audio telephone call between the remote web-browser and the remote audio-enabled device. The processing circuit can also facilitate communications with social networks by passing a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each interface module designed to interface with a corresponding and respective social network.
1. A device comprising:
a first interface configured and arranged to provide content to a remote web browser;
a second interface configured and arranged to communicate content of audio telephone calls with a remote audio-enabled device;
a processing circuit configured and arranged to
establish an audio telephone call between the remote web browser and the remote audio-enabled device;
facilitate communications with social networks by passing a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each interface module designed to interface with a corresponding and respective social network of a plurality of social networks; and
establish a meeting between multiple individuals, the meeting including audio and video content, and to generate the general status message in response to the meeting being established.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to generate a status message in response to and to indicate an audio telephone call being established.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to import contacts from data obtained from a social network.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to initiate a text-chat function between two individuals.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to provide call forwarding by accessing location data from a social network.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to respond to selection of contacts by an individual operating the remote web browser by providing an option to initiate a meeting between the selected contacts and to respond to selection of the option by contacting each of the selected contacts.
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to provide the content to the remote web browser using a platform independent programming language.
8. A device comprising:
a first interface configured and arranged to provide content to a remote web browser;
a second interface configured and arranged to communicate content of audio telephone calls with a remote audio-enabled device;
a processing circuit configured and arranged to
establish an audio telephone call between the remote web browser and the remote audio-enabled device; and
facilitate communications with social networks by passing a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each interface module designed to interface with a corresponding and respective social network of a plurality of social networks, wherein the processing circuit is configured and arranged to retrieve the general status message information of acquaintances of an individual using the remote web browser from a social network, and to provide the retrieved status information as part of the content to the remote web browser.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to establish a meeting between multiple individuals, the meeting including audio and video content.
10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured and arranged to establish a meeting between multiple individuals, the meeting including audio and video content, and to generate the general status message in response to the meeting being established.
11. A method comprising:
executing software instructions on a computer to perform the steps of
providing an interface with content to a remote web browser;
operating an interface that communicates content of audio telephone calls with a remote audio-enabled device;
establishing an audio telephone call between the remote web browser and the remote audio-enabled device;
facilitating communications with social networks by passing a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each interface module designed to interface with a corresponding and respective social network of a plurality of social networks; and
establishing a meeting between multiple individuals, the meeting including audio and video content; and
generating the general status message in response to the meeting being established.
12. The method of claim 11 , further including a step of generating the status message in response to an audio telephone call being established.
13. The method of claim 11 , further including a step of importing contacts from data obtained from a social network.
14. The method of claim 11 , further including providing the content to the remote web browser using a platform independent programming language.
15. The method of claim 11 , further including setting a different filter in each interface module to allow an individual to use multiple social networks with different levels of interaction.
