`the text message is to use abbreviations. For example, the words “For example”
`can be changed to “e.g.”. Such conversion can be again be performed by matching
`entries in tables. Another way to shorten is to remove non-essential text. Still
`another way to shorten is to clip off or truncate the text message at the maximum
`text message size. In another embodiment, the resulting text message might
`provide an indication that it was converted from an audio message. Following the
`block 710, the text message is transmitted 712 over a wireless network.
`
`[000109] Alternatively, when the decision 704 determines that a text message
`is to be formed, then a text entry screen is displayed 714. Next, a decision 716
`determines whether a text message has been entered. When the decision 716
`determines that a text message has not yet been entered, then the reply message
`process 700 awaits entry of the text message. Once the text message has been
`entered, the text message is transmitted 712 over the wireless network. Following
`the block 712, the reply message process 700 ends.
`
`[000110] Although the reply message process 700 provides for the user to
`enter a custom text or audio message, it should be understood that the reply
`message can alternatively be formed through use of semi-custom or
`predetermined reply messages from which the user of the mobile communication
`device can choose. The use of semi-custom or predetermined reply messages can
`be achieved as noted above in a number of embodiments, and can serve to
`simplify the conversion process.
`
`[000111] An exemplary scenario of how message presentation and reply
`message processes could work according to one implementation of the second
`aspect is as follows:
`
`1. From his mobile phone, Bill prepares and sends a text
`[000112]
`message to Tom’s mobile phone.
`
`2. Tom is alerted by his mobile phone of an incoming text
`[000113]
`message, such as by displaying at least a portion of the text message and/or
`therwise notifying Tom of the text message.
`
`IPVMCP02C4
`

`
`Patent Application
`
`Epic Games Ex. 1002
`Page 31
`
`
`
`3. Tom’s mobile phone can decide whether to present the text
`[000114]
`message on a display screen of Tom’s mobile phone, or to first convert the text
`message to an audio message and then present the audio message to Tom (e.g.,
`play the audio message). Of course, Tom can interact with Tom’s mobile phone to
`assist in making the determination on how to present the message.
`
`4. Thereafter, if desired, Tom can prepare and send a reply
`[000115]
`message back to Bill. This reply message can be prepared initially as a text
`message or an audio message. Tom’s mobile phone and/or Tom can determine
`whether the reply message is initially prepared as a text message or as an audio
`message. If an audio message is initially created, such audio message must be
`converted to a text message prior to transmission. Eventually, the reply message
`is sent to Bill as a text message. Tom’s mobile phone can assist with the creation
`of the reply message through use of custom, semi-custom or predetermined reply
`message from which Tom and/or Tom’s mobile phone can choose.
`
`5. If Tom is using a head-set with his mobile phone, then an
`[000116]
`audio message may be more convenient, assuming that Tom wants to provide a
`particular (i.e., customized) message to Bill. The head-set allows Tom to easily
`record a brief audio message. Less conveniently, the head-set can be used to
`present a list of predetermined audio messages and allow Tom’s selection
`therefrom by a button or voice-command.
`
`6. If Tom is not using a head-set, then a text message response
`[000117]
`might be more suitable. This would typically require that Tom’s mobile phone have
`a display and a keypad. Even so, without a head-set, Tom could still record an
`audio message, though such would likely be less convenient.
`
`7. Tom can also not provide a reply message and simply not
`[000118]
`respond to the incoming text message. Alternatively, Tom can configure his mobile
`phone to automatically produce and send a reply message based on user settings
`or preferences, position, configuration, status, etc.
`[000119] In this aspect of the invention, the calling party and the called party
`often use mobile communication devices, such as mobile phones. However, the
`
`IPVMCP02C4
`
`29
`
`Patent Application
`
`Epic Games Ex. 1002
`Page 32
`
`
`
`parties can alternatively use other electronic devices, such as a PDA, a computer,
`etc.
`[000120] The advantages of the invention exemplified by FIGs. 11-12 are
`numerous. Different embodiments or implementations may yield different
`advantages. One advantage is that communications for users of electronic devices
`can be flexibly provided. Another advantage is that communication mode changes
`can be performed at an electronic device to better suit the needs or condition of
`the electronic device or user preferences. Still another advantage is that
`conversion of an audio message to a text message facilitates use a low cost
`network (such as the SMS network). Another advantage is reduced network
`bandwidth load. Yet still another advantage is that the sender can get back a
`message in the same format as they sent the original message, though the
`recipient may use the message in a different format or mode (e.g., recipient hears
`the text message as an audio message).
`
`[000121] Moreover, it should be noted that with regards to any of the
`embodiments in which a voice call or a text message is incoming to an electronic
`device, not only can the user of the mobile device take an action (e.g., button press
`or voice-command) to decline the call/message but also the electronic device itself
`can automatically decline the call/message such that the user is not disturbed. For
`example, an electronic device can be configured through user settings (e.g.,
`preferences) to decline calls/messages matching certain criteria. Also, an auto
`reply message can be configured to be automatically sent in response to the
`call/message. For a known, undesired marketing caller/message sender, the
`electronic device can automatically send a reply message demanding the sender
`not to call or send messages anymore, and to remove your information from their
`database.
`
`[000122] Text messages received or sent can optionally embed indications of
`speech characteristics to be used, should the text message be converted to an
`audio format. The speech characteristics can pertain to voice, tone, pace, accent,
`and/or mood. The speech characteristics for the resulting speech can be set in
`
`IPVMCP02C4
`
`30
`
`Patent Application
`
`Epic Games Ex. 1002
`Page 33
`
`
`
`preference or configuration information, set on a per message basis by users, or
`set by evaluation of monitored data pertaining to the user.
`
`[000123] Additionally, the messages being transmitted can be encrypted for
`security purposes.
`
`[000124] In one embodiment, an electronic device performing
`communications using audio and/or text messages according to the invention can
`further integrate (or have tethered thereto) one or more electrical components for
`enhancing the hearing of the user of the electronic device. The electronic device
`will normally include a microphone and a speaker. The invention described herein
`can be considered an automated secretary for a user of an electronic device. The
`automated secretary can completely or partially respond to an incoming
`call/message so as to reduce disturbances to the user. The user can personalize
`the automated secretary through user settings (e.g., preferences), or the
`automated secretary can learn over time how to handle different incoming
`calls/messages. Besides handling or assisting the user with incoming
`calls/messages, the automated secretary can also assist with other activities, such
`as making calendar entries (e.g., meetings) in a calendar or responding to
`incoming callers/messages with relevant information pertaining to the user’s
`schedule as maintained by the calendar (though the user could restrict such
`access to certain information and/or inquiring parties). For example, if an incoming
`text message asks “available for lunch today?”, the automated secretary can check
`the user’s availability for lunch by way of the user’s calendar, then if the user is not
`available the automated secretary can quickly informing the inquiring party of same
`or propose another date. On the other hand, if the lunch time period is available in
`the user’s calendar, then the automated secretary can either directly respond to
`the inquiring party of acceptance or propose a response to the user for review,
`modification and/or transmission.
`
`[000125] It should be obvious to those skilled in the art that a number of
`embodiments performing communications using voice as well as audio and/or text
`messages can be implemented using voice over Internet Protocol technologies,
`
`IPVMCP02C4
`
`31
`
`Patent Application
`
`Epic Games Ex. 1002
`Page 34
`
`
`
`with signals delivered over the Web. For example, a calling party’s communication
`r mobile device can include an adapter to convert voice signals to data packets
`before sending them over the Internet. A service provider can convert the packets
`back into voice signals before sending the voice signals to the called party’s
`communication device. Similarly, embodiments can be implemented using voice
`over wireless protocols, such as Wi-Fi or Wi-Max networks. Using such
`technologies, computing devices can become communication devices.
`
`[000126] The various embodiments, implementations, features and aspects of
`the invention noted above can be combined in various ways or used separately.
`Those skilled in the art will understand from the description that the invention can
`be equally applied to or used in other different settings with respect to various
`combinations, embodiments, implementations or features provided in the
`description herein.
`[000127] The invention can be implemented in software, hardware or a
`combination of hardware and software. A number of embodiments of the invention
`can also be embodied as computer readable code on a computer readable
`medium. The computer readable medium is any data storage device that can store
`data which can thereafter be read by a computer system. Examples of the
`computer readable medium include read-only memory, random-access memory,
`CD-ROMs, magnetic tape, optical data storage devices, and carrier waves. The
`computer readable medium can also be distributed over network-coupled
`computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in
`a distributed fashion
`[000128] Numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough
`understanding of the present invention. However, it will become obvious to those
`skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details.
`The description and representation herein are the common meanings used by
`those experienced or skilled in the art to most effectively convey the substance of
`their work to others skilled in the art. In other instances, well-known methods,
`procedures, components, and circuitry have not been described in detail to avoid
`unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present invention.
