Voice input state identification

摘要

A method for indicating voice input state for a call on a communications device. A processor unit identifies the state of voice input for the call. In response to the state of the voice input being a mute state, the processor unit identifies a mute setting for the mute state based on a user profile. Thereafter, first audio data specified by the mute setting is played with audio data from the call on the communications device. In response to the state of the voice input being an unmute state, the processor unit identifies an unmute setting for the unmute state based on the user profile. Thereafter, second audio data specified by the unmute setting is played with the audio data from the call on the communications device.

1. A method of indicating voice input state for a call on a communications device, said method comprising:
identifying, by a processor unit, the voice input state for the call, the communications device being used by a user to communicate with a party during the call; responsive to the voice input state being identified as a mute state, identifying, by the processor unit, a first setting for the mute state, wherein the first setting for the mute state specifies: (i) first conditions which must be satisfied during the call in order for the voice input state to be the mute state and (ii) a first type of audio to be played on the communications device during the call while the voice input state is the mute state, wherein the first conditions comprise a first type of the call and an identity of a first party to whom the user is communicating with during the call, and wherein the first type of audio is selected from the group consisting of music, tones, live radio, and combinations thereof; and during the call in the mute state characterized by the first setting, continuously playing on the communications device, by the processor unit, (i) the first type of audio and (ii) audio from the call as background audio.
