A METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY REMINDING A PC USER ABOUT UNANSWERED TELEPHONE CALLS The present invention allows the Personal Computer (PC) user to set up the PC to always send a reminder at a given time interval while unanswered calls exist in the unanswered calls buffer. After receiving an unanswered incoming call the PC logs this call in a special unanswered calls buffer (unanswered call log) made visible to the PC user. The PC keeps track of the number of unanswered calls that have been received since the unanswered call log was cleared by the user. Under user control, the PC reminds the user of the number of unanswered calls pending in the unanswered calls log. This reminder can be set to several specified time intervals and alert tones. Once the reminder feature has been set up, the unanswered calls reminder feature works without any further user intervention.
