A method of provisioning a plurality of applications from different application developer systems to a network provider system comprises establishing a plurality of service accounts for a corresponding plurality of application service provider systems, receiving a plurality of API interfaces from the plurality of application service provider systems, integrating, by the processor system, each of the plurality of API interfaces with a unified services platform API interface, receiving a provider API interfaces for a network provider system, and integrating the provider API interface with the unified services platform API interface. The plurality of application service provider systems provide services for use in association with a telephone number of a subscriber of telecommunication services. At least two of the API interfaces are different, and at least one of the plurality of API interfaces from the plurality of application service provider systems is not compatible with the provider API interface.

Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and system of integrating a user's voice mail onto a single voice messaging service, e.g., a Unified Messaging (UM) service, such that a client may access this single source for voice mail retrieval, even where such voice mails are from a variety of sources, e.g., work, mobile phone, etc. A user, or the user's mobile operator, need only agree to accept the service, and the registration and configuration requirements for providing the service and forwarding calls to the service are automatically configured. The user's existing speed dial key or other setting for retrieving voice mail may also be automatically configured to the access number(s) for the service. Configurations may monitor the status of the service and update access and/or forwarding numbers. Voice mail forwarding and settings may also be automatically reverted back to the user's original service.

Software and computer processor implemented system and method of providing customized automated responses to different types of incoming electronic messages from various contact sources, particularly useful for preventing distracted driving or distractions at a place of work or at a place of rest and relaxation. Here the invention's software, often in the form of an app, runs on a smartphone or other computerized device configured to automatically connect to various devices, such as automobile associated Bluetooth peripherals or WiFi access points/routers. When operating, the app causes active connections to automatically trigger auto response mode in response to incoming messages. Optionally, different automated responses to be assigned to different connected device identification codes or different incoming message originators. Various prioritization schemes, such as last active connection dominates, and various ways in which different contact specific automated responses may interact with various device specific automated responses, are also discussed.

A method for accessing offline voicemail messages within a mobile messaging application may be provided. First, a voice mail message may be received and the voicemail message may be transcribed to text. Next, the voicemail message and the text transcription may be stored. The recipient may then be presented with a list of voicemail messages and the voicemail message may be retrieved in response to the recipient. The recipient may read or listen to the voicemail message or both. The recipient may also annotate the voicemail message.

A method and apparatus for a computer and telecommunication network which can receive, send and manage information from or to a subscriber of the network, based on the subscriber's configuration. The network is made up of at least one cluster containing voice servers which allow for telephony, speech recognition, text-to-speech and conferencing functions, and is accessible by the subscriber through standard telephone connections or through internet connections. The network also utilizes a database and file server allowing the subscriber to maintain and manage certain contact lists and administrative information. A web server is also connected to the cluster thereby allowing access to all functions through internet connections.

A group of mobile phones can each be associated with a different personal phone number, and can also be associated with a common family phone number. When a call is received at the shared family phone number, an intermediate server routes a notification of the call to each phone in the group, and each phone can ring. If a first user answers a first phone of the group, a notification is sent by the first phone to the intermediate server, which in turn sends a notification to the remaining phones in the group that the call has been answered. The remaining phones then stop ringing. If no one answers the call, the caller is routed to a voicemail associated with the shared family phone number, and a notification of a voicemail message is routed to each of the group of phones.

A method and apparatus of processing communications with end users are disclosed. One example method may include detecting a message or post on a website over the Internet that matches a monitoring company's keywords or rules and processing the message by parsing the message and performing a natural language interpretation of the message and processing the parsed message to determine the user's topic of interest. In response, the method may further provide generating a response to the message based on the user's requested objective and sending the response to the user acknowledging the user's topic of interest. Live agents may be notified to check the status of a message and continually override automated message responses to ensure the integrity of the responses.
