SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OFFLINE CREATED VOICEMAIL MESSAGES WITH RANGE TIMESTAMP DEFINED BY THE CURRENT AND LATEST DOCKING OF A PORTABLE DEVICE

摘要

A comunication system comprises a gateway and a plurality of docking stations, each for receiving a device, and each connected to the gateway, each docking station adapted to identify a received device, to download voicemail messages from the received device to the gateway. A gateway clock provides earliest (ECD) and latest (Ty) possible creation date timestamps for messages, defining an interval rangestamp for each voicemail message. The latest (Ty) timestamp is applied to messages subsequently created offline, and may be updated by offine interaction with a further user device carrying a later timestamp (Ty).
