METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VOICEMAIL OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Methods and systems for managing voicemail operations are provided here. In some embodiments a method for managing voicemail operations may include establishing a voicemail session with a voicemail system, transmitting message data over the voicemail session to be recorded in a voicemail message for a second user on the voicemail system, receiving an incoming call from a device associated with the second user while the voicemail session is active, and sending a first notification to the voicemail system to manage the voicemail message prior to establishing the incoming call with the device associated with the second user.
1 . A computer-implemented method for managing voicemail operations, comprising:
establishing a voicemail session with a voicemail system;
transmitting message data over the voicemail session to be recorded in a voicemail message for a second user on the voicemail system;
receiving an incoming call from a device associated with the second user while the voicemail session is active; and
sending a first notification to the voicemail system to manage the voicemail message prior to establishing the incoming call with the device associated with the second user.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein voicemail session is established in response to a first signaling message received from the voicemail system indicating that a call request from a first device directed to a called identifier associated with the second user failed.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein receiving the incoming call includes determining that the incoming call from a device associated with the second user, and wherein determining that the incoming call is from a device associated with the second user includes comparing an incoming caller identifier of the incoming call with the called identifier associated with the second user.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first signaling message includes voicemail status information indicating that the voicemail session is being established with the voicemail system.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first notification to the voicemail system is sent automatically and without user input when the incoming call is received.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the first notification to manage the voicemail message instructs the voicemail system to delete the voicemail message.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the first notification further disconnects the voicemail session.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein one or more options to manage the voicemail message are displayed when the incoming call is received.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more options include a delete message option.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving a selection of the delete message option displayed; and
sending the first notification to the voicemail system to delete the recording of the voicemail message in response to the selection of the delete message option.
11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more options further include an end message option.
12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the voicemail session is established using a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telecommunication application disposed on a first user device.
13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the voicemail system and the VoIP telecommunication application are associated with the same VoIP service provider.
14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first notification is one of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message, an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) message, or a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) message.
15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein first notification sent is a Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) tone.
16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the established voicemail session is a real time transfer protocol (RTP) stream.
17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the voicemail message is one of an audio message or a video message.
18 . A computer-implemented method for managing voicemail operations, comprising:
accepting a request to establish a voicemail session with a first user device by transmitting a first signaling message to the first user device indicating that a call request from the first device directed to a called identifier associated with a second user failed, wherein the first signaling message includes voicemail status information indicating that the voicemail session is being established with a voicemail system;
recording a voicemail message for the second user;
receiving a first notification from the first user device, while recording the voicemail message, to delete the voicemail message; and
deleting the voicemail message.
19 . The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the first notification is one of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message, an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) message, or a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) message.
20 . The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein first notification sent is a Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) tone.
21 . The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the voicemail message is one of an audio message or a video message.
22 . A system for managing voicemail operations, comprising:
a first telecommunication module configured to:
transmit message data over a voicemail session to be recorded in a voicemail message for a second user on a voicemail system, wherein the voicemail session is established with the voicemail system;
receive an incoming call from a device associated with the second user while the voicemail session is active; and
send a first notification to the voicemail system to manage the voicemail message prior to establishing the incoming call with the device associated with the second user.
23 . The system of claim 22 , wherein voicemail session is established in response to a first signaling message received from the voicemail system indicating that a call request from a first user device directed to a called identifier associated with the second user failed.
24 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the first telecommunication module is further configured to determine that the incoming call is from a device associated with the second user by comparing an incoming caller identifier of the incoming call with the called identifier associated with the second user.
25 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the first signaling message includes voicemail status information indicating that the voicemail session is being established with the voicemail system.
26 . The system of claim 22 , wherein the first notification to the voicemail system is sent automatically and without user input when the incoming call is received.
