METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR ASSOCIATING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT TO A COMMUNICATION

摘要

Media content communication may be provided. First, an incoming communication may be received at a subscriber device. A determination whether multimedia content is associated with the incoming communication may then be made. The multimedia content may be associated with, for example, a caller, and may be played back as a video tone indicating a communication originating from the caller. The multimedia content may also be delivered with the incoming communication, retrieved by the subscriber device, and played back upon acceptance of the incoming communication or stored for later retrieval upon denial of the incoming communication.
