A message injection apparatus including a memory, a processor, a connection unit communicatively coupled to a communication device, and an application operating in the memory that is configured to receive audio signals from the communication device and to transmit at least one audio signal to the communication unit based on an operational mode.

Message injection system and method

A method for screening incoming communications includes the steps of receiving an incoming communication intended for a communication device or a recipient and identifying a sender of the communication and a communication type, which can includes an email. The method also includes the steps of identifying screening settings based on the sender and the communication type and determining whether the communication is allowed in accordance with the identified settings. Further, the method includes the steps of notifying a recipient of the communication, if the communication is allowed. In addition, the method includes the step of processing the communication without notifying a recipient, if the communication is not allowed.

Communication management feature

A method for answering a communication includes the steps of receiving an incoming communication sent by a sender and intended for a communication device of a recipient and answering the communication with an injected audio, video, text, and/or graphic message. The injected message indicates to the sender, in effect, that the recipient is presently unable to respond to the communication but is or will be made aware of the communication. The method further includes the step of providing a promise fulfillment feature that alerts the recipient to the communication and any promise to follow-up with the sender made in the injected message.

Communication management features

A mobile communication device including an application running in a first memory of the device, an application audio unit in the first memory, the application audio unit being communicatively coupled to the application operating, and a telephony unit in the first memory, the telephony unit being communicatively coupled to the application, a radio transmission unit including a radio interface unit operating in a second memory and communicatively coupled to the telephony unit, a radio audio unit operating in the second memory, the radio audio unit being communicatively coupled to the radio interface unit, and a hardware driver unit communicatively coupled to the radio interface unit, the hardware driver unit initiating a communication connection between the mobile communication device and another device, an audio switching unit communicatively coupled to the application unit and the radio transmission unit.
