Abstract

Methods and electronic devices for storing recognized phrases during a voice call between an electronic device and a remote party. In one aspect, the present application discloses a method implemented by a processor of an electronic device for storing recognized phrases during a voice call between the electronic device and a remote party. In one aspect, a method implemented by a processor of an electronic device is described. The method includes: determining that a spoken phrase during the voice call is within a pre-determined category of information; converting the spoken phrase to text; storing the text in association with the voice call; and displaying in a graphical user interface a call history identifying previous voice calls, including an identifier of the voice call. The display includes displaying the text in association with the identifier of the voice call.

Claims

1. A method implemented by a processor of an electronic device for storing recognized phrases during a voice call between the electronic device and a remote party, the voice call associated with an event of a calendar application, the electronic device having a display, the method comprising:

determining that a spoken phrase during the voice call is within a pre-determined category of information;

converting the spoken phrase to text;

storing the text in association with the voice call; and

displaying in a graphical user interface a call history identifying previous voice calls, including an identifier of the voice call, the displaying including displaying the text in association with the identifier of the voice call and extracting one or more event-characteristics from the event to define the identifier.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier is associated with an interface element on the graphical user interface, and wherein the text is displayed in response to receiving a selection of the interface element.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining includes determining a plurality of spoken phrases, and converting includes converting the plurality of spoken phrases to text.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein displaying includes determining that the converted text of two or more of the plurality of spoken phrases is identical and displaying the converted text for only one of the identical spoken phrases.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein converting includes converting speech during the voice call to text information and wherein determining includes searching the text information for phrases that fall within the pre-determined category of information.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein determining includes detecting that the spoken phrase falls within the pre-determined category of information and, in response, said converting is performed.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said determining is partly based on a detected geographic location of the electronic device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the pre-determined category of information includes one of a postal address, an email address and a phone number.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the displayed text includes the email address, the email address is associated with a messaging interface element, and wherein a messaging application is initiated in response to receiving a selection of the messaging interface element.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the displayed text includes the phone number, the phone number is associated with a phone call interface element, and wherein a further voice call is initiated to the phone number in response to receiving a selection of the phone call interface element.

19. A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed, configure a processor to perform the method claimed in claim 1.

5. (canceled)

12. An electronic device being configured to store recognized phrases during a voice call between the electronic device and a remote party, the voice call associated with an event of a calendar application, the electronic device comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

a processor coupled with the display and the memory, the processor being configured to;

determine that a spoken phrase during the voice call is within a pre-determined category of information;

convert the spoken phrase to text;

store the text in association with the voice call; and

display in a graphical user interface a call history identifying previous voice calls, including an identifier of the voice call, the displaying including displaying the text in association with the identifier of the voice call and extracting one or more event-characteristics from the event to define the identifier.

13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the identifier is associated with an interface element on the graphical user interface, and wherein the text is displayed in response to receiving a selection of the interface element.

14. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein determining includes detecting a plurality of spoken phrases, and converting includes converting the plurality of spoken phrases to text.

15. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein displaying includes determining that the converted text of two or more of the plurality of spoken phrases is identical and displaying the converted text for only one of the identical spoken phrases.

17. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein converting includes converting speech during the voice call to text information and wherein determining includes searching the text information for phrases that fall within the pre-determined category of information.

18. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein determining includes detecting that the spoken phrases falls within the pre-determined category of information and, in response, said converting is performed.

16. (canceled)

20. A method implemented by a processor of an electronic device for storing recognized phrases during a voice call between the electronic device and a remote party, the voice call associated with an event of a calendar application, the electronic device having a display, the method comprising:

establishing a connection with a second electronic device;

receiving text from the second electronic device, wherein the received text is based on the second electronic device determining that a spoken phrase during the voice call is within a pre-determined category of information, and converting the spoken phrase to text;

storing the text in association with the voice call; and

displaying in a graphical user interface a call history identifying previous voice calls, including an identifier of the voice call, the displaying including displaying the text in association with the identifier of the voice call and extracting one or more event-characteristics from the event to define the identifier.
