Continuation application 13/305,686, Continuation-in-Part Patent 8,068,604 (B)

Claims (14)

What is claimed:

1. A system for contextualizing and transmitting communications notifications and events that relates, without sender or manual intervention, incoming communication events to previous communication events that included conversation with the same sender, the system comprising: ..

A method for generating a ring tone for a given caller based on a prior conversation with that caller. A portion of a conversation with a given caller is recorded and stored in memory as a ring tone. When a subsequent call is received from the same caller, identified by caller ID, the ring tone is played, alerting the user to the incoming call as well as the context of their prior communication. In alternative embodiments of the invention, a prior textual or video conversation is used as the basis for a ring tone, and/or the 'ring tone' is delivered by other than audio means. The invention is capable of implementation in telecommunications systems such as cellular, local exchange, and VOIP, and in combination with other forms of internet-based telecommunication.
