A control method and an electronic device thereof are provided. The first electronic device includes a memory for storing call logs, a determination module for analyzing the call logs associated with a dialing pattern and identifying a second electronic device associated with a recipient in the dialing pattern, and a control module for, when attempting a call to the first electronic device, outputting information of at least one second electronic device associated with the first electronic device in accordance with the stored call logs.

Disclosed are a method and device for switching SIM card of a communication terminal and a computer storage medium. The method comprises: identifying a called number of a missed call or identifying an addressee number of an unread message; when callback is initiated, detecting a number of a current SIM card, and if the number is not the called number, switching to a SIM card of the called number, or when message replying is initiated, detecting the number of the current SIM card, and if the number is not the addressee number, switching to a SIM card of the addressee number, and calling back via the switched SIM card or replying to the message via the switched SIM card.

An intelligent transcription and automated record generation system and method are provided in which a record identification module can identify, based on call data from a video call, a record in a customer relationship management (CRM) database that is relevant to the video call. An image recognition and video extraction module can process a video stream that includes video information from the video call to extract relevant portions of the video information that are relevant to the record as extracted video information. A record updater module can automatically modify the record at the CRM database to include at least part of the extracted video information as part of the record.

Methods, systems, and devices for displaying advertisements on mobile telephone devices at the end of a call to a pre-designated number are disclosed. In aspect a computerized method comprises determining that a telephone call has been initiated between a mobile telephone device and a second telephone device, determining that the telephone number matches a campaign telephone number stored on the mobile telephone device, determining a media object to display based on the telephone number, downloading the media object on the mobile telephone device, determining that the telephone call has ended, and displaying the media object on the mobile telephone device after the telephone call has ended.

A system, method and computer program product for providing targeted messages to a person using telephony services by generating user profile information from telephony data and using the user profile information to retrieve targeted messages.

Structures and protocols are presented for using or otherwise relating to a first mobile device (a smartphone or tablet computer or wearable device, e.g.) configured to be shared by two or more parties such that a subset of the parties may be addressed selectively (in content directed to such parties, e.g.) in a cost-effective manner.

Systems and methods for providing secure communication between an inmate and an outside user are disclosed. In various aspects, account information of both the user and the inmate is stored. A message transmission is received from a first device that includes a header portion and an encrypted payload portion. The system verifies that confidential communication between the inmate and the outside user is permitted based on the header portion and the stored account information. Once verified, the message is transmitted to a second device without decrypting the payload portion of the message.

Incoming calls are received from audio capable devices. A call processing server receives an incoming call from an audio-capable device to a destination number, and detects availability for an ancillary source device linked to the audio-capable device. A set of data is provided to the ancillary source device. The set of data specifies graphical menu options for functions supported by the call processing server. The ancillary source device provides an indication of a selection of one of the graphical menu options. In response to the indication, a call transfer for the incoming call is implemented.

Communications equipment associated with a calling party in a telecommunications network has a telephony function for handling telephone calls and a data communication application for handling data communication sessions. The telephony function and the data communication application have an associated first and second user interface respectively. A called party identifier is collected via the second user interface in response to user input at the communications equipment. A telephone call is set up between the calling party and the called party using the telephony function on the basis of the collected called party identifier. Data communication session setup information, comprising information identifying the called party, is transmitted on the basis of the collected called party identifier. The data communication session setup information is for establishing a data communication session separate from the telephone call for the communication of data between the calling party and the called party.

Systems and methods for managing non-associative communications between devices is provided. A first call chain that indicates a routing between phone numbers is stored. A first phone call or a first SMS text is received from a first session initiation protocol (SIP) provider. Based on information provided by the first SIP provider, (i) a sender identity of the first phone call or the first SMS text; (ii) a receiver identity of the first phone call or the first SMS text; and (iii) an access mode of the call chain are determined. If the receiver identity corresponds to a first phone number in the first call chain, a second phone call or a second SMS text is initiated via a second SIP provider, from a second phone number in the first call chain, based on the sender identity and the access mode.
