Visual translation for telephone commands

Abstract

This Application discloses the display of stored information when creating a electronic command for use with mobile smartphones and other computer-enabled telephones. A software app recognizes input from the user (such as the initial digits of a phone number) that identifies the organization to be called, and accesses stored representations of information along with corresponding IVR phone tree information and user display preferences. The app then presents a representation of all or part of the retrieved information on a display using the user's language preferences. The user can then respond to the representation by providing selective inputs that cause the synthesis all or part of the commands needed to navigate to the desired destination. Once a command sequence has been synthesized, the user may provide additional input that the system interprets as an instruction to open a phone call and invoke the assembled commands.
