COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR SENDING ELECTRONIC VOICE MESSAGES BY E-MAIL

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for sending electronic voice messages by e-mail by means of an e-mail program includes the steps of starting up a recording system for recording a voice message, recording the voice message by means of the recording system, listening to and thus reproducing the voice message, and sending the voice message by means of at least one remote communication means and is characterized in that a recording of the voice message is recorded by means of at least one recording button which can be controlled in a user interface of the recording system, the recording system being different from an instant messenger system.

Claims

1. Computer-implemented method (1000) for sending electronic voice messages (2) by e-mail comprising the steps of: Commissioning of a recording system (1) for recording a voice message (2), Recording the voice message (2) using the recording system (1), For example, listening to and thus reproducing the voice message (2), Sending the voice message (2) by means of at least one means of remote communication, wherein a recording of the voice message (2) is recorded by means of at least one recording button (110) which can be controlled in an control surface (11) of the recording system (1), wherein the recording system (1) is different from an instant messenger system.

2. Computer-implemented method (1000) for sending electronic voice messages (2) according to claim 1, comprising: a processor and a computer-readable storage medium on which program code is stored or else deposited on a distributed storage system that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor: receiving and sending the voice message (2), which may be an attachment to an e-mail, on the basis of smart contracts, wherein the voice message (2) is priced into the decentralized smart contract system in digitally modulated form, wherein the voice message (2) is a summary of individual digital metrics, wherein on the basis of smart contracts these metrics are traded within the smart contract system, namely inter alia in that the metrics cause the smart contract system to generate a part, one or more tokens (201), and further wherein this token (201) is traded within the decentralized smart contract system, and the acquirer therefore receives at least one key figure, preferably all key figures, of the voice message (2), and on the basis of the key figures the voice message (2) is then at least partially restored, and for this purpose together with one or more key figures a decomposition and/or construction key of the voice message (2) is also acquired.

3. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein the summary of key figures is an overview and/or key figure that has been cumulated or summarized by some other arithmetic operation.

4. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein the key figure is a real number greater than zero or it is a complex number.

5. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein a program code causes a processor to generate the token (201) or the identification number stored in the program code of the token (201) causes the processor: Instantiate a token object based on the selected token template, wherein the token object includes default logic for each of the one or more control functions inherited from the selected token template.

6. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein the program code that causes the processor to generate the token (201) further comprises program code that causes the processor to: Routing the token object to a proxy specific to a distributed ledger technology (DLT) used by the distributed ledger network; Constructs, via the proxy, a transaction based on one or more rules of the DLT; and Sending, via the proxy, the transaction to the distributed ledger network.

7. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein the computer-readable storage medium further comprises program code that causes the processor to: Execute the control function and generate a function result; Route the function result to a proxy specific to a DLT used by the distributed ledger network; Establishing, via the proxy, a transaction based on one or more rules of the DLT; and Sending, via the proxy, the transaction to the distributed ledger network.

8. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein the building of the transaction includes: Retrieving a cryptographic key associated with the user and the distributed ledger network; and digitally signing the transaction using the cryptographic key.

9. Computer-implemented method (1000) according to claim 1, wherein the computer-readable storage medium further comprises program code that causes the processor to: Receiving, from the user, a request to import an existing token (201), the request to import including an address of the existing token (201) in the distributed ledger network; Verifying an implementation of the token (201) as stored at the address; Determining an asset type for the existing token (201); Identifying a token template or token (201) in the one or more token templates or tokens (201) that corresponds to the particular asset type; and Generating another token (202) on the distributed ledger network based on the identified token template and the existing token (201).

Description

[0042] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a method 1000 according to the invention and an apparatus 100 according to the invention for operating a method 1000 for sending electronic voice messages 2.

[0043] As can be seen from FIG. 1, an example of a method 1000 for sending electronic voice messages 2 is shown there, which comprises in a first step the commissioning of a recording system 1 for recording a voice message 2, in a further step the voice message 2 is recorded by means of the recording system 1 and in a third step the voice message 2 is sent by means of at least one remote communication medium. The recording of the voice message 2 is carried out by means of at least one recording button 110 that can be controlled in a user interface 11 of the recording system 1, whereby the recording system 1 is different from an instant messenger system.

[0044] Further, FIG. 1 shows that the recording system 1 is tel of an email sending program or forms an email sending program itself, wherein a user interface 112 of the email sending program displays the recording button 110 in a position provided therefor.

[0045] As can further be seen from FIG. 1, the voice message 2 is sent, for example, together with a text message 3, preferably by actuating a send button, wherein the recording system 1 automatically and therefore without actuating a recording button 110 detects a start and/or an end of the recording process of the voice message 2 and after a termination of the recording of the voice message 2 detected by the recording system 1, the voice message 2 is sent by the recording system 1, wherein the voice message 2 is created as an e-mail attachment by the recording system 1.

[0046] Also shown in FIG. 1 is a device 100 for sending electronic voice messages, which comprises at least one recording system 1 for recording a voice message 2 and at least one remote communication means 3 for sending the voice message 2 by means of at least one remote communication means 3. It can be seen that the device 100 for sending electronic voice messages is characterized in that the recording system 1 is arranged and provided for recording the voice message 2 by means of at least one recording button 110 controllable in a user interface 11 of the recording system 1, wherein the recording system 1 is different from an instant messenger system.

[0047] The invention is not limited by the description based on the embodiment example. Rather, the invention encompasses any new feature, as well as any combination of features, which in particular includes any combination of features in the patent claims, even if this feature or combination itself is not explicitly stated in the patent claims or in the embodiment example.
