Abstract
The present invention provides a method, apparatus and system for processing a multimedia message wherein a multimedia message is received (1202) and it is determined whether the multimedia message should be processed using a customized process (1204). If the multimedia message should be processed with the customized process, the present invention retrieves one or more customized processing instructions from a database (1208) and processes the multimedia message using the one or more customized processing instructions (1210). If, however, the multimedia message should not be processed using the customized process, the present invention processes the multimedia message using a standard process (1206). This method can be implemented using hardware or a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium wherein each block represents a code segment.
