Using proximity information to dynamically change greeting messages on a mobile telephony device

摘要

The present invention discloses a solution for delivering customized greeting messages to callers. In the solution, a call can be received from a remote device. A greeting message that is to be conveyed to the remote device due to a failure of a receiving party to answer the call can be determined. A set of devices proximate to a call receiving device can be identified. One of many different greeting messages can be determined based upon the identified set of proximate devices. The determined greeting message can be conveyed to the remote device.
