Provided are systems, methods, and media for verifying a commission-based relationship in a communication system. An example method includes generating authorization information by an authorizer that is to be transmitted to a caller and forwarded by the caller to a callee upon a call being initiated between the caller and the callee, in which the authorization information includes at least authorizer identity information, callee identity information, and a caller public key. The method includes signing the authorization information with a private key of the authorizer and transmitting the signed authorization information to the caller. The caller is configured to generate a digital signature via a private key of the caller and transmit the digital signature and the signed authorization information to the callee. The callee is configured to verify the identity of authorizer, caller and callee and event information based on the authorization information.

A mobile application running on a host mobile device is used to control the display of notifications, received by the host mobile device, on a mobile device cover. A single button on the mobile device cover is used to display, configure, and navigate through functionality menus of functions provided by the mobile device cover.

In accordance with some embodiments, an electronic device is described. In some embodiments, while displaying a user interface of a messaging application, the device concurrently displays at least a portion of a representation of a message, where the message is included in a first message folder of a plurality of message folders, and the plurality of message folders. In some embodiments, while concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, the device detects user selection of a second message folder. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection, the device moves the message from the first message folder to the second message folder such that the message is included in the second message folder, and displays a graphical indication that the message has been moved from the first message folder to the second message folder.

Enhanced capabilities within a telephone network are made accessible to a telecommunications device. The telecommunications device is used to dial a sequence. A network server receives and identifies the sequence invokes an advanced network function. A advanced network function server in communication with the network server provides instructions as to how the network server is to provide the advanced network function. The network server processes the call in accordance with the received instructions to provide the particular advanced network function.

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.

Methods and systems that include, by a client computing device of a first user of a social-networking system, receiving from the first user an identifier associated with an intended recipient to which outgoing communication is to be initiated, wherein the identifier is received via a user interface of an application, identifying, based on the intended recipient, social information relevant to the first user, and displaying, in the user interface, the social information that is relevant to the first user. The identifier may include a phone number or an email address of the intended recipient. The social information may include a name of the intended recipient, and/or a social-network profile of the intended recipient. The intended recipient may be a second user of the social-networking system, and the social information may be identified based on how many degrees of separation there are between the first user and the second user.

Disclosed herein is a method of generating a record of a call, the method, performed by a first device, comprising: performing a voice communications call with a second electronic device over a first communications channel; receiving and/or transmitting, during the voice communications call, call content data over a second communications channel; generating call details in dependence on the voice communications call; and generating a record of the call, wherein the record comprises the call details stored in association with the call content data. Advantageously, each generated call record provides an entry point to access data or to search information related to each call.

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for voice prompt of a third-party call. The system includes a contact identification module, a hands-free control module and a voice broadcast module. The contact identification module is for identifying whether a third-party incoming call number exists in an address book of a communication device. The hands-free control module is for extracting a current call status when a third-party call dials in to help judge whether the current call is in hands-free mode. The voice broadcast module is for voice broadcasting information of the incoming call according to the identification result of the contact identification module when the current call is in hands-free mode. The present system could broadcast the information of the third-party incoming call without breaking off the current call so that prevents missing important content of the current call as well as an important incoming call.

A device and method for locking in button context based on a source contact of an electronic communication is provided. An electronic communication is received, via a communication interface, from a source contact. A controller detects that a button, of one or more buttons external to the device, has been activated, each of the one or more buttons mapped to activation of respective functions. The controller identifies a respective function mapped to the button. When the button is activated within a threshold time period after receiving the electronic communication, the controller performs the respective function using the source contact from which the electronic communication was received. When the button is activated after the threshold time period, the controller performs the respective function independent of the source contact.
