SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AN INFORMATIVE MESSAGE WHEN REJECTING AN INCOMING CALL

1 . A computer implemented method for providing an informative message when rejecting an incoming call on a user device, comprising:

receiving a request to reject an incoming call with a message;

generating a plurality of messages based on status information of a user;

receiving a selection of one of the plurality of generated messages; and

setting a reminder to notify the user of a callback, wherein the reminder is based on the selected message.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein status information is based on at least one of a time of day, a location of a user device, and a speed at which a user device is changing location.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the selected message to a device where the incoming call originated.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

accessing a calendar of the user;

determining a user is currently scheduled for an event on the calendar wherein determining comprises comparing a current time to a time on the calendar;

identifying a next available timeslot on the calendar; and

generating a message indicating a callback at the next available timeslot.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

accessing an address book on a device of the user;

determining whether an entry exists in the address book identifying a first address of the user;

determining a location of the first address;

determining a current location of the user; and

generating a message indicating a callback upon leaving the first address when the current location of the user matches the location of the identified first address of the user.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

monitoring the location of a user device;

determining an indication of a change in speed of the user device when a location of the user device changes by a minimum threshold over a predefined time interval; and

generating a message indicating a callback based on the indication of a change in speed.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

extracting an address of a caller associated with the incoming call from an address book;

determining a location of a user device; and

generating a message indicating an estimated arrival time to the location of the caller based on the extracted address of the caller and the determined location of the user device.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

linking a mobile app on a user device to an app on a smart television;

notifying the app on the smart television of an incoming call on the user device;

requesting programming data from the app on the smart television; and

generating a message indicating a callback at a time when a current program is ended.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reminder comprises one of setting a reminder on one of a reminder app or a calendar app, setting a geo-fence around a specified location, or setting a countdown time to the time of notification.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the generated plurality of messages in an order prioritized based on a time of day, a location of the user, and a speed at which the location of the user is changing.

11 . A system for providing an informative message when rejecting an incoming call on a user device, comprising:

a message generation module configured to generate a plurality of messages based on status information of a user;

a reminder module configured to receive a selection of one of the plurality of generated messages and set a reminder to notify the user of a callback, wherein the reminder is based on the selected message; and

a communication module configured to transmit the selected message to a device where the incoming call originated.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein status information is based on at least one of a time of day, a location of a user device, and a speed at which a user device is changing location.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

accessing a calendar of the user;

determining a user is currently scheduled for an event on the calendar wherein determining comprises comparing a current time to a time on the calendar;

identifying a next available timeslot on the calendar; and

generating a message indicating a callback at the next available timeslot.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

accessing an address book on the device of the user;

determining whether an entry exists in the address book identifying a first address of the user;

determining a location of the first address;

determining a current location of the user; and

generating a message indicating a callback upon leaving the first address when the current location of the user matches the location of the identified first address of the user.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

monitoring the location of a user device;

determining an indication of a change in speed of the user device when a location of the user device changes by a minimum threshold over a predefined time interval; and

generating a message indicating a callback based on the indication of a change in speed.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

extracting an address of a caller associated with the incoming call from an address book;

determining a location of a user device; and

generating a message indicating an estimated arrival time to the location of the caller based on the extracted address of the caller and the determined location of the user device.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein generating one of the plurality of messages comprises:

linking a mobile app on a user device to an app on a smart television;

notifying the app on the smart television of an incoming call on the user device;

requesting programming data from the app on the smart television; and

generating a message indicating a callback at a time when a current program is ended.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the reminder comprises one of setting a reminder on one of a reminder app or a calendar app, setting a geo-fence around a specified location, or setting a countdown time to the time of notification.

19 . A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method for providing an informative message when rejecting an incoming call on a user device, comprising:

receiving a request to reject an incoming call with a message;

generating a plurality of messages based status information of a user;

receiving a selection of one of the plurality of generated messages;

setting a reminder to notify the user of a callback, wherein a type of reminder is based on the selected message; and

transmitting the selected message to a device where the incoming call originated.

20 . The computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein status information is based on at least one of a time of day, a location of a user device, and a speed at which a user device is changing location, and wherein the reminder comprises one of setting a reminder on one of a reminder app or a calendar app, setting a geo-fence around a specified location, or setting a countdown time to the time of notification.
