A contact-note application is disclosed herein that runs in a computing device. When a phone call event occurs, the contact-note application is notified and responsively surfaces a prompt over a user interface to a phone call application. When the prompt is selected, the contact-note application surfaces a user interface to the contact-note application. The user interface provides the end-user with a view of a note associated with a contact on the phone call such that they user may create, edit, and consume the note.

A telecommunications system, that after a communication is established by a first electronic communication device and a second electronic communication device, while the conversation is ongoing between a first person using the first electronic communication device and a second person using the second electronic communication device, responsive to content of converted text based on a plurality of words spoken, route the content to a cloud-based phone recognition and entity identification, annotation, and relevance processing resource, to enable display of information related to the content by at least one of the first electronic communication device and the second electronic communication device.

In one embodiment, a mobile device application automatically identifies and annotates auditory signals from one or more parties.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing hotword recognition and passive assistance are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a computing device that is operating in a low-power mode and that includes a display that displays a graphical interface while the computing device is in the low-power mode and that is configured to exit the low-power mode in response to detecting a first hotword, audio data corresponding to an utterance. The method further includes determining that the audio data includes a second, different hotword. The method further includes obtaining a transcription of the utterance by performing speech recognition on the audio data. The method further includes generating an additional user interface. The method further includes providing, for output on the display, the additional graphical interface.

A method for automatically saving an unknown number in a mobile phone includes comparing a telephone number being answered or dialed with numbers in an address book, and determines whether the telephone number is an unknown number. If yes, conversation content is monitored, and keywords of the conversation content are extracted after the call is successfully connected. After the call ends, a user is prompted whether to save, if yes, the keywords are arranged in order for the user to select.

A contact-note application is disclosed herein that runs in a computing device. When a phone call event occurs, the contact-note application is notified and responsively surfaces a prompt over a user interface to a phone call application. When the prompt is selected, the contact-note application surfaces a user interface to the contact-note application. The user interface provides the end-user with a view of a note associated with a contact on the phone call such that they user may create, edit, and consume the note.

A method and a communication apparatus for sharing a series of numbers during a call are provided. In the method, the communication apparatus establishes a call with another communication apparatus, and performs a recognition procedure on a voice in the call to recognize a series of numbers appeared in the voice, so as to display the recognized series of numbers on a display of the communication apparatus. Then, an operation of a user is received and accordingly the series of numbers is sent to the another communication apparatus so as to display the series of numbers on the another communication apparatus.

Disclosed are devices, systems, methods, and media for efficient emergency calling using digital devices. In some embodiments, a user is able to make an emergency call by a one-touch or dual-touch process. An authentication process may reduce inadvertent and unauthorized emergency calling. Persistent emergency buttons are also disclosed that may be used for calling emergency in different states of the device.

A device includes a communication interface, an input interface, and a processor. The communication interface is configured to receive an audio signal associated with an audio call. The input interface is configured to receive user input during the audio call. The processor is configured to generate an audio recording of the audio signal in response to receiving the user input. The processor is also configured to generate text by performing speech-to-text conversion of the audio recording. The processor is further configured to perform a comparison of the text to a pattern. The processor is also configured to identify, based on the comparison, a portion of the text that matches the pattern. The processor is further configured to provide the portion of the text and an option to a display. The option is selectable to initiate performance of an action corresponding to the pattern.

A method and an apparatus for dialing a phone number, where the method for dialing the phone number includes obtaining, by a communications terminal from a number record of a called party, root-level number information of the called party, number information of sub-levels 1 to j, and a relationship between the root-level number information and the number information of sub-levels 1 to j, calling the called party for the second time according to the root-level number information, and sending, according to a relationship between the root-level number information and sub-level i number information, the sub-level i number information corresponding to an i.sup.th input prompt of the called party after the second call succeeds, where i1 and ij. Therefore, information can be automatically entered to the called party according to an input prompt of the called party.
