The present disclosure provides a method for processing a system call in a voice call. The method includes: participating, by a first terminal, a voice call with one or more second terminals, the voice call being performed in a non-system voice call application on the first terminal; monitoring, by the first terminal, a system call start event during the voice call; actively stopping, in response to the system call start event, use of an audio device of the first terminal; suspending participation of the first terminal in the voice call; sending, by the first terminal, a voice suspension request to a server to remind the one or more second terminals that the first terminal suspends the voice call; and recovering the voice call when the system call ends.

A method and device for managing a communication between a calling terminal and a called terminal in the event that it is impossible to reach a called terminal during an attempt to establish a communication according to a first mode. The method includes: receiving a message including an identifier associated with the called terminal and an indication according to which the communication cannot be established; obtaining, from identifiers associated with the calling terminal and the called terminal, a host card including at least one piece of information relating to the reachability of the user of the called terminal; transmitting, according to an instant messaging protocol, the obtained response message to the calling terminal, the host card being configured to allow the triggering of a communication according to a mode that is distinct from the first mode.

A voice or video call is to be established between a caller and a callee based on a call flow that involves a call establishment request and a corresponding call acceptance response. A first call establishment request is sent to a called terminal (of the callee) that is unready to accept the call upon receiving this first call establishment request. Once the called terminal is ready to accept the call, instead of the call acceptance response, a reverse call establishment request for the call is received back from the called terminal. The reverse call establishment request is automatically accepted on behalf of the caller on condition that the reverse call establishment request was received back from the called terminal within a certain time limit. If so, the call is accepted by sending an instance of the call acceptance response to called terminal.

The invention concerns a method for establishing a telecommunication connection between a calling subscriber (1) and a target subscriber (5), in which a calling terminal (R) of the calling subscriber (1) and a target terminal (Z) of the target subscriber (5) are assigned to a switching unit (100) and the calling subscriber (1) enters a callback request (CCBS-REQ, CCNR-REQ) in the switching unit (100) if the target terminal (Z) is busy or cannot be reached when a first call is made from the calling terminal (R) to the target terminal (Z), in which configuration data regarding the accessibility of the target subscriber (5) for a callback are entered into the switching unit (100). Then the time is set for the switching unit (100) to make the pending callback (RC) to the calling subscriber (1) in order to generate a second call to the target subscriber (5) by processing the configuration data concerning the accessibility of the target subscriber (5) for a callback, at a time when the target subscriber (5) is reachable for a callback. Next, the switching unit (100) makes the pending callback (RC) to the calling subscriber (1) at the set time.

Systems and methods are described herein for sending notifications associated with different use or active modes of a mobile device, such as a smart phone, tablet, and so on. For example, a mobile device may be in a busy mode, where a user associated with the mobile device is busy on a call, and/or in an entertainment mode (or other non-communication mode), where the user is utilizing entertainment functions provided by the mobile device (e.g., watching a video, playing a video game, listening to a podcast, and so on).

A system, method and program product for electronic communication includes checking if a current called number of a subscriber is on a list of unsuccessful calls made by an onward caller. A determination is made that the current called number is on the list of unsuccessful calls. A calling route used to establish a connection between onward caller and subscriber is concluded as a low-quality route. A subscriber ID is extracted and included on the list of low quality routes. A request is made for a list of all possible routes for communication between onward caller and receiver user. A comparison list of all possible routes and low quality routes is made. A route not earlier marked as a low-quality route is identified and selected as an alternative route. An electronic communication between onward caller and receiving user is established using the alternative route.
