The subject disclosure describes monitoring when a headset is in communication with a mobile communication device, detecting the headset, comparing a name of a caller and a telephone number of the caller against a list of names and telephone numbers previously stored in a memory, determining that the name of the caller or the telephone number of the caller matches one of the names and telephone numbers in the list, determining that the one of the names and telephone numbers is associated with a pre-recorded message that the user previously recorded and stored in the memory, retrieving the pre-recorded message, and performing a text-to-speech conversion on the name and telephone number of the caller to generate a synthesized speech signal spoken text message and sending the synthesized speech signal and the pre-recorded message to the headset. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A video cell phone messenger that provides caller ID streaming with sound and/or video, and provides a virtual greeting that users get when a call or text. A customized message is sent as part of an outgoing communication to another user who is being contacted by the user, in place of a numerical caller ID. The phone also sends text messages, and a second picture and sound forms a second customized message for texts.

A mobile electronic apparatus, a method for controlling a mobile electronic apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium are disclosed. A wireless communication unit receives an incoming call signal. A movement detector detects a user's movement. A proximity sensor detects the proximity of an object. At least one processor outputs as a voice, through a sound output unit, information on a party that has transmitted the incoming call signal when the user's movement and the proximity of the object are detected during the receipt of the incoming call signal.

A call partner identification means identifies a call partner in order to make it possible for a user to easily identify the call partner by only the sense of hearing. A background sound selection means selects a background sound corresponding to the identified call partner. A synthesis means synthesizes a call speech signal and the selected background sound.

Information that a called person desires to inform a calling person of is reported during a call made by the calling person, and it is notified that the calling person has acquired the information. A communication terminal apparatus that performs telephone communications via a communication network includes: a conversation unit 144 that inputs therein a sound via a transmitter and outputs a sound from a receiver; an input unit 110 that receives an operation of a user; a display unit 140 that displays an image; a communication unit 120 that establishes communications with a server 300, which is provided on the communication network, on a basis of a telephone number of a calling destination, which is input from the input unit 110; and a notification unit 130 that, in a case where the communication unit 120 acquires multimedia data corresponding to the telephone number of the calling destination from the server 300 after the communications are established with the server 300, notifies the user of acquisition of the multimedia data.

A mobile terminal can include a display; a proximity sensor to sense proximity of an object; an audio output unit; a microphone unit; and a controller to: in response to sensing the proximity of the object through the proximity sensor, activate the microphone and activate a voice recognition function, and in response to receiving a first voice signal for requesting first event information through the microphone, execute a first function of an application corresponding to first text converted from the first voice signal, and output audio data based on an execution of the first function.

A voice prompting method includes detecting whether an unread communication message is received by an electronic device, acquiring, a signal intensity of a wearable device coupled with the electronic device if the unread communication message is received, and performing voice prompt for the unread communication message according to a prompting manner corresponding to the signal intensity.

A method includes determining, at a communication device, a designation of a source communication device based on information related to a communication from the source communication device. The method further includes selecting, at the communication device and based on the designation, a prompt from multiple prompts. The prompt includes a first prompt in response to the designation being a first designation of multiple designations. The prompt includes a second prompt in response to the designation being a second designation of the multiple designations. The method includes sending the prompt from the communication device to the source communication device.

The present disclosure describes receiving a trigger operation indication that content has been selected by a user device, and determining whether the content offers a recurring audio content data. The operation may also include retrieving a first audio content and transmitting the first audio content to the user device.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for indicating callers for incoming voice calls. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions receiving an incoming voice call, determining a calling number and a called number from the incoming voice call, identifying a user account that corresponds to the called number, determining a contact name for the calling number based on contact entries for the user account, and providing the contact name for output.
