Methods, systems, devices, and products for providing alerts for communications
Methods, systems, and products provide alerts to a communications device. Sports scores may be associated to alerts, ringtones, and filenames. As communications are processed, a sports score may determine an alert.
1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
processing a communication request for a call from a calling address to a called address;
retrieving a name of a sports team from a profile associated with the calling address;
retrieving a score associated with the name of the sports team;
retrieving a filename of an alert associated with the score;
sending the communications request for the call to the called address; and
sending the filename to accompany the communication request for presentation during a wait time at a called device associated with the called address to alert of the call and the score.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise querying for the score.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise storing a database that associates sports scores to alerts.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving the profile.
5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the calling address to the profile.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise associating the called address to the profile.
7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a selection of the filename.
8. A method, comprising:
generating, by a mobile device, a communication request for a call from a calling address to a called address;
retrieving, from memory of the mobile device, a name of a sports team;
retrieving, by the mobile device, a score associated with the name of the sports team;
querying the memory for the score;
retrieving from the memory a filename of an alert associated with the score;
sending, from the mobile device, the communications request to the called address; and
sending the filename from the mobile device to accompany the communication request for presentation during a wait time at a called device associated with the called address to alert of the communications request and the score.
9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising querying for the score.
10. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising storing a database in the memory of the mobile device that associates sports scores filenames of alerts.
11. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising retrieving a profile associated with the calling address.
12. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising retrieving a profile associated with the called address.
13. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising receiving a selection of the filename associated with the score.
14. A computer readable memory storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
generating a communication request for a call from a calling address to a called address;
retrieving a name of a sports team;
retrieving a score associated with the sports team;
querying for the score;
retrieving a filename an indication of an alert associated with the score;
sending the communications request to the called address; and
sending the filename to accompany the communication request for presentation during a wait time at a called device associated with the called address to alert of the communications request and the score.
15. The computer readable memory according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise querying for the score.
16. The computer readable memory according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise storing a database that associates sports scores to indications of alerts.
17. The computer readable memory according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a profile associated with the calling address.
18. The computer readable memory according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving a profile associated with the called address.
19. The computer readable memory according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a selection of the filename associated with the score.
20. The computer readable memory according to claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving the filename from a server.
