<p>A system for automatically pausing a video program in response to detection of the occurrence of a communications event, audio communications event, interactive services event, or triggering event. In response to an incoming phone call, message, web page, or other communications information, the system pauses the video program and displays an indication of the occurrence of the communications, audio communications, or other event. In response to an outgoing communications such as a request for information or services, the system pauses the video program. The system also buffers the video programming while paused, permitting a user to replay missed portions of the video programming. Alternatively, the system waits for a triggering event, which includes the user's access to the audio communicants, communications, or other event, in order to pause the video program. The audio (voice) portion of a phone call or voice mail message is converted to text for display to a recipient of the call.</p> |
