A sender telephone receives a text message to send to a receiver telephone. The sender telephone determines the transmission delay time by sending a predetermined message to receiver telephone, based on the time it receives an address complete message and a release message. The sender telephone determines a constant value that is greater than the transmission delay time and in response to the determining the constant value, ringing the receiver telephone to transmit the received inputted text message. A receiver telephone receives a predetermined message from a caller telephone to determine a transmission delay time, based on the time it receives the address complete message and a release message. The receiver telephone determines a constant value that is greater than the transmission delay time. The receiver telephone receives incoming rings from the caller telephone and converts the received rings into a text message to be displayed.

A system and method for using enhanced QR codes in a call to action, that provides enhanced functionality for generating a call to action element or providing personalized content when scanned, and that combine additional data dimensions with existing QR code technologies to expand the QR code capability beyond what is enabled by standard QR code specifications.

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for smart gas personalized feedback service and an Internet of things (IoT) system thereof. The method is implemented based on a smart gas management platform. The method includes: receiving a call message of a target customer through a call center, and a content of the call message being related to a gas business; determining a service category corresponding to the call message based on the call message, and determining a feedback mode; in response to the feedback mode being manual feedback, determining a target operator through the call center to feed back a call of the target customer; and in response to the feedback mode being automatic feedback, determining, using a knowledge map, a feedback content through the call center based on the service category corresponding to the call message, and sending the feedback content to the target customer.

A network element of a communication provider comprises transceiver apparatus arranged to receive a request message from an originating endpoint via a packet-based communication network; and processing apparatus configured to generate, in response to the request message from the originating endpoint, a push notification relating to a communication from the originating endpoint intended for a destination endpoint, the communication to be conducted over the packet-based network. The transceiver apparatus is arranged to send the push notification to the destination endpoint over the packet-based network. The processing apparatus is further configured to generate the push notification with a payload comprising an indication of an image representing an originating user, to be output by the destination endpoint in a user notification notifying a destination user regarding the communication. At least the indication of the image is determined and inserted into the payload of the push notification at the network element.

For a safe handling of text messages (MesT) received by a communication device (CD) owned by a user, an application server (AS) receives a request (Req) from the communication device (CD), the request containing an identifier (IdCD) of the communication device and presence data (DatP) indicating that the communication device is associated with a service entity (SE) via a wireless session, the service entity (SE) being a vehicle, receives a text message (MesT) having the user as recipient, and sends a message (MesC) to a network server (NS), the message (MesC) including at least a part of the content of the text message (MesT), the network server (NS) generating a voice message (MesV) from the content of the message (MesC) and providing the voice message (MesV) via an audio call to the communication device (CD).

To enable multiple message originators to share an SMS shortcode, originator identifying codes can be added to outbound SMS messages that prompt recipients to respond with response messages that include the originator identifying codes. The originator identifying codes can be added by a service provider that administers the SMS shortcode. When a response message is received on the SMS shortcode number, the service provider processes the response message content to extract the originator identifying code. The code and, optionally, a recipient ID can be used as a lookup to determine the intended originator that the response message is for. The response message can then be associated by the service provider with the correct originator for subsequent processing.

A method of correlating outgoing electronic communications with received electronic messages includes: sending an electronic message associated with a second party to a first party; subsequently receiving an outgoing electronic communication from the first party by the second party; automatically determining whether the outgoing electronic communication resulted from the electronic message, based on electronically stored information about the sending of the electronic message and about the subsequently received outgoing electronic communication; and if it is determined that the outgoing electronic communication resulted from the electronic message, flagging the outgoing electronic communication to have a different status from outgoing electronic communications not determined to have resulted from an electronic message.

A method and a device for establishing a communication sent by a recipient terminal in response to a first communication sent by a sender terminal. The method includes reception by the recipient terminal of a message comprising at least one contact address relating to the sender terminal user. The received message also includes at least one piece of validity information associated with the contact address. The received validity information is stored in association with the received contact address. Following the detection of a user interaction requesting establishment of a second communication in response to the first communication, the recipient terminal selects, as a function of the at least one received piece of validity information, a contact address from a group of contact addresses comprising at least the received contact address and sends a request for establishment of the second communication to the selected contact address.

An activation device includes a wireless communication interface, an activation circuitry, and a trigger device. The wireless communication interface is configured to communicate with a mobile phone in a personal area network. The activation circuitry is configured to generate a signal for activating the mobile phone. The trigger device is configured to receive an input from a user. When the trigger device receives the input from the user, the activation circuitry is caused to generate the signal, and the wireless communication interface is configured to send the signal to the mobile phone, causing the mobile phone to pass the call request to a call service, which is in turn caused to generate a call, calling the mobile phone.
