System and method for connecting to addresses received in spoken communications
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media to connecting to addresses received in spoken communications. The method for connecting to addresses received in spoken communications comprises receiving at least one spoken communication containing a spoken address, extracting each address automatically from the at least one spoken communication, displaying to a user at least one extracted address, and receiving from the user a selection of at least one extracted address to initiate communication.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a first data in a first communication from a first user at a device associated with a second user;
generating contact information for contacting the first user, the contact information comprising the first data associated with the first bode of contacting the first user and second data associated with a second mode of contacting the first user;
displaying on the device the contact information in an order that is chosen based on usage habits of the second user;
receiving, via the device and from the second user, a selection from the contact information to initiate communication with the first user, wherein the selection is associated with potential ways for which electronic communication is possible; and
connecting with a first user device simultaneously or serially using a communication mode associated with the selection.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a menu of the contact information is displayed during playback of the first communication.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein displaying of the menu of the contact information occurs immediately following playback of the first communication.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contact information comprises one of a voicemail number, a fax number, a pager number, a local phone number, a long distance phone number, an international phone number, a toll-free number, and a premium number without area code.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein connecting with the first user device is achieved by one of placing a telephone call, placing a conference call, sending an email, sending a fax, locating on a map, opening a web site, connecting to an internet protocol address, and sending an instant message.
6. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored therein which, when executed by the processor, result in the processor performing operations comprising:
receiving a first data in a first communication from a first user at a device associated with a second user;
generating contact information comprising the first data associated with a first mode of contacting the first user and second data associated with a second mode of contacting the first user;
displaying on the device the contact information in an order that is chosen based on usage habits of the second user;
receiving, from the second user, a selection from the contact information to initiate a second communication with the first user, wherein the selection comprises multiple items from a menu associated with the contact information; and
connecting with a first user device simultaneously or serially using a communication mode associated with the selection.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the menu associated with the contact information is displayed during playback of the first communication.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein displaying of the menu associated with the contact information occurs immediately following playback of the first communication.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the contact information comprises one of a voicemail number, a fax number, a pager number, a local phone number, a long distance phone number, an international phone number, a toll-free number, and a premium number without area code.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein connecting with the first user device is achieved by one of placing a telephone call, placing a conference call, sending an email, sending a fax, locating on a map, opening a web site, connecting to an internet protocol address, and sending an instant message.
11. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, result in the computing device performing operations comprising:
receiving a first data in a first communication from a first user at a device associated with a second user;
generating contact information comprising the first data associated with a first mode of contacting the first user and second data associated with a second mode of contacting the first user;
displaying on the device the contact information in an order that is chosen based on usage habits of the second user;
receiving, from the second user, a selection from the contact information to initiate a second communication with the first user, wherein the selection comprises multiple items from a menu associated with the contact information; and
connecting with a first user device simultaneously or serially using a communication mode associated with the selection.
12. The computer-readable storage device of claim 11 , wherein the menu associated with the contact information is displayed during playback of the first communication.
13. The computer-readable storage device of claim 12 , wherein displaying of the menu associated with the contact information occurs immediately following playback of the first communication.
