Abstract

Voice message processors are configured to produce text representations of voice messages. The text representations can be compacted based on one or more abbreviation libraries or rule libraries. Abbreviation processing can be applied to produce a compact text representation based on display properties of a destination device or to enhance user perception. Text representation length can be reduced based on abbreviations in a standard abbreviation list, a user specific abbreviation list, or a combination of standard and custom lists. In some examples, text length is shortened based on stored rules.

Claims (41)

1. A mobile station, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having instruction stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

receiving a voice message;

identifying a sender of the voice message;

selecting an abbreviation library associated with the sender of the voice message;

producing a text representation of the voice message; and

compacting the text representation using the selected abbreviation library to produce a compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation from the selected abbreviation library, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is compacted is based on network capacity.

2. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the extent to which the voice message is compacted is further based on network congestion.

3. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the extent to which the voice message is compacted is further based on a subscriber profile associated with the mobile station.

4. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide a source text associated with the compact text representation.

5. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide an expanded text associated with the compact text representation.

6. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the abbreviation library includes text abbreviations.

7. The mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the abbreviation library includes abbreviation rules.

8. A mobile station, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

receiving a voice message;

identifying a message class to which the voice message belongs;

selecting an abbreviation library associated with the message class to which the voice message belongs;

producing a text representation of the voice message; and

compacting the text representation using the selected abbreviation library to produce a compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation from the selected abbreviation library, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is compacted is based on network capacity.

9. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the extent to which the voice message is compacted is further based on network congestion.

10. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the extent to which the voice message is compacted is further based on a subscriber profile associated with the mobile station.

11. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide a source text associated with the compact text representation.

12. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide an expanded text associated with the compact text representation.

13. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the abbreviation library includes text abbreviations.

14. The mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the abbreviation library includes abbreviation rules.

15. A mobile station, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

receiving a voice message;

identifying a message profile associated with the voice message;

selecting an abbreviation library associated with the message profile associated with the voice message;

producing a text representation of the voice message; and

compacting the text representation using the selected abbreviation library to produce a compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation from the selected abbreviation library, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is compacted is based on network capacity.

16. The mobile station of claim 15 , wherein the extent to which the voice message is compacted is further based on network congestion.

17. The mobile station of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide the compact text representation.

18. The mobile station of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide a source text associated with the compact text representation.

19. The mobile station of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide an expanded text associated with the compact text representation.

20. The mobile station of claim 15 , wherein the abbreviation library includes text abbreviations and abbreviation rules.
