SWITCHING BETWEEN WATCHES OR OTHER ACCESSORIES

Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for allowing a user to switch between wearable items that have been paired or associated with an electronic device, such as a smartphone, are described. In one embodiment, the wearable items automatically detect a removal of a first wearable item from a user's body and an attachment of a second wearable item to the user's body. Messages from the wearable items are transmitted to the electronic device to allow the electronic device to switch the active wearable item from the first wearable item to the second wearable item. The switch can occur while the electronic device is in a locked state, and the electronic device can synchronize the second wearable item with data received from the first wearable item. Other embodiments are also described.

Virtual telephone extension
10869188 · 2020-12-15 · ·

The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for routing communications. A plurality of communications-enabled devices are coupled to a communications network. Each communications-enabled device has a device identifier. A user-programmable database associates each of a plurality of user identifiers with a device identifier. A router circuit is coupled to the communications network through a portal communication device having a portal identifier. A user designates a destination user identifier when making a communication. The router circuit switches the call, directing the call to a destination device identifier responsive to the user-programmable database association between the destination user identifier and a device identifier. According to certain aspects, communications are directed to users and are routed to associated equipment, a user identifier serving as a virtual extension number. Users remotely program the database to direct their communications to communications-enabled devices at various destinations.

Method and apparatus for enabling context-based voice responses to always-on-display notifications

For responding to a notification displayed in an Always on Display (AoD) mode with a voice command, a method displays notifications in at least one of a full power mode or an AoD mode, parses a notification to determine a notification type. The method also determines, while in the AoD mode, if the notification supports voice responses. If the notification supports voice response, the method receives a voice command from a user and authorizes the user based on the voice command, bypasses a screen lock, in response to the user being authorized, and executes the voice command.

Method and system for a scalable computer-telephony integration system

When an incoming call is received from a customer, various aspects may include receiving an indication of availability from several call agents within the computer-telephony integration system and presenting the indications of availability and identification information for each of the call agents on a display. A user control for searching the call agents may also be presented on the display for use by a first call agent to view an indication of availability for a particular call agent. The customer call may then be transferred from the first call agent to the particular call agent in response to the indication of availability identifying the particular call agent as available.

Method and system for a scalable computer-telephony integration system

Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are described for a scalable computer-telephony integration system. Various aspects may include storing sets of call agent login information for several call agents within the computer-telephony integration system and across several independent computing systems in a contact center login database. Additionally, various aspects may include generating several contact center service categories and sets of contact information for each contact center service category, which may be stored in a contact center directory database. When an incoming call is received from a customer, various aspects may include obtaining customer call information from the customer and generating a customer call key, which may be stored as a reference to the customer call information in a contact center customer call information database. The call key may be used to reduce an amount of data electronically transferred between call agents during telephone call transfers.

OBJECT ORIENTED CALL MANAGEMENT
20200186648 · 2020-06-11 ·

Methods and systems for object oriented call management are disclosed. In one aspect, a system implements a plurality of call objects, each call object encapsulating information relating to an active call, each call object configured to display a call user interface, and a messaging system configured to provide messaging between a plurality of accounts, the messaging system configured to distribute references to one or more of the plurality of call objects to at least some of the plurality of accounts, and to cause display of the call user interface within at least one of the plurality of accounts, and is further configured to receive input selecting at least one of the controls of the call user interface, and to communicate the selection to the respective call object.

Inmate text communication via Wi-Fi radio
10631141 · 2020-04-21 · ·

Inmate text communication can include communicating a text message through a server via a Wi-Fi radio, where the Wi-Fi radio is associated with an active predetermined and unique telephone number selected from a group of reserved predetermined and unique telephone numbers.
