A plurality of electronic devices can share a single phone number with each other. One of the electronic devices includes a display, a communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the display and the communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the processor and configured to store a plurality of call logs. The memory stores instructions causing, when executed, the processor to receive a call request via the phone number, to transmit a first call log associated with a missed call to a server in response to a stopped reception of the call request, to receive a first response signal regarding transmission of the first call log from the server, to store the first call log in the memory, based on the first response signal, to receive a push signal from the server, and to update the first call log stored in the memory, based on the push signal.

In order to address the above-mentioned need, a method for routing civilian calls to an associated public-safety officer is provided herein. During operation, a call processor receives a civilian call having a source identifier number identifying a source of the call and a target identifier number identifying a target of the call. A current status priority of the associated public-safety officer is determined as a function of the current assignment status, and when the current status priority is less than the incident record priority, the civilian call is routed directly to a mobile device associated with the associated public-safety officer. When the current status priority is greater than the incident record priority, the civilian call is routed directly to one of a public-safety answering point or an automated voice mail system.

Systems for and methods of delivering telephone calls using the combination of a data channel and a voice channel are disclosed. A data channel connection with the telephone handset may provide pre-call information used to set up incoming and outgoing calls which are ultimately connected using a voice channel. Use of the pre-call information may permit the same handset to be associated with multiple secondary telephone numbers from which calls appear to have been made and to which calls appear to have been placed.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a call record synchronization method, a cloud platform, and a terminal. The method includes: detecting, by a first terminal, an input operation for requesting to display a call record; and after the first terminal detects the input operation, displaying, by the first terminal, a merged call record, where the merged call record is a call record obtained after merging of a call record of the first terminal and a call record of a second terminal, and the merged call record includes a device identifier of the first terminal and/or a device identifier of the second terminal. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a user can use the merged call record to identify call answering or making statuses on a plurality of terminals, without querying a plurality of call records. This improves user experience.

Rerouting apparatus for rerouting data including multimedia data. The apparatus is for association with electronic equipment and allows for routing the data to a device regarded as the most convenient for playing the media. The apparatus comprises an announcer device for indicating to surrounding equipment that associated equipment is available for rerouting, thereby to enable receipt of rerouted communications therefrom, and a scout device for scanning surroundings of the associated equipment to find out about compatible equipment in the vicinity, thereby to reroute communications thereto. The apparatus may be attached to any device having data processing capability, to enable rerouting of data and communications therebetween.

A call record synchronization method includes detecting, by a first terminal, an input operation for requesting to display a call record. The method further includes, after the first terminal detects the input operation, displaying, by the first terminal, a merged call record, where the merged call record is a call record obtained after merging of a call record of the first terminal and a call record of a second terminal. The merged call record includes a device identifier of the first terminal and/or a device identifier of the second terminal.

Methods and computing systems for sharing content between related devices in a cellular network are described. A first device receives content from an external content source via a wireless connection, and causes presentation of the content on an output device of the first device. The first device retrieves information for one or more related devices that utilize the same telephone number the first device for sending and receiving at least cellular communications via the cellular network. The first device enables sharing of the content with at least one related device of the one or more related devices.

The present disclosure generally relates to using voice interaction to access call functionality of a companion device. In an example process, a user utterance is received. Based on the user utterance and contextual information, the process causes a server to determine a user intent corresponding to the user utterance. The contextual information is based on a signal received from the companion device. In accordance with the user intent corresponding to an actionable intent of answering the incoming call, a command is received. Based on the command, instructions are provided to the companion device, which cause the companion device to answer the incoming call and provide audio data of the answered incoming call. Audio is outputted according to the audio data of the answered incoming call.
