Abstract

A method, mobile communication device, and computer-readable storage medium are provided for displaying a message associated with a received first request for establishing a connection to a conference call; receiving, on the mobile communication device, a delay option selection; displaying, based on the received delay option selection, a plurality of delay-time options, each of the plurality of delay-time options providing a delay time for establishing a connection to the conference call; and receiving a selection of one of the plurality of delay-time options associated with a time for establishing a connection to the conference call.

Claims

1. A method performed by a mobile communication device having one or more processors, the method comprising:

displaying a message associated with a received first request for establishing a connection to a conference call;

receiving, on the mobile communication device, a delay option selection;

displaying, based on the received delay option selection, a plurality of delay-time options, each of the plurality of delay-time options providing a delay time for establishing a connection to the conference call; and

receiving a selection of one of the plurality of delay-time options associated with a time for establishing a connection to the conference call.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, on the mobile communication device, the first request from a network server.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein receiving, on the mobile communication device, the delay option selection further comprises:

detecting, on the mobile communication device, a direction of the message being moved; and

determining, based on the detected direction, that a delay option has been selected.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

providing, on the mobile communication device, a connection option for establishing a connection with a network server and a dismiss option for dismissing the first request.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of delay-time options enable different delay times.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein displaying the plurality of delay-time options further comprises displaying the plurality of delay-time buttons vertically or horizontally.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving the selection of one of the plurality of delay-time options comprises detecting an input selecting one of the plurality of delay-time buttons.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising sending a delay notice corresponding to the selected delay-time option to a network server.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving a second request for connecting to the conference call after the delay time for connecting to the conference call elapses.

10. A mobile communication device comprising:

a display;

one or more computer-readable storage media enabled to store instructions; and

one or more processors enabled to execute the instructions causing the mobile communication device to;

display, on the display, a message associated with a received first request for establishing a connection to a conference call,

receive a delay option selection,

display, based on the received delay option selection, on the display a plurality of delay-time options, each of the plurality of delay-time options providing a delay time for establishing a connection to the conference call, and

receive a selection of one of the plurality of delay-time options associated with a time for establishing a connection to the conference call.

11. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are enabled to execute further instructions causing the mobile communication device to display the plurality of delay-time options vertically.

12. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are enabled to execute further instructions causing the mobile communication device to display the plurality of delay-time options horizontally.

13. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are enabled to execute further instructions causing the mobile communication device to send a delay notice corresponding to the selected delay-time option to a network server.

14. The mobile communication device of claim 13, wherein the one or more processors are enabled to execute further instructions causing the mobile communication device to receive a second request for connecting to the conference call after the delay time for connecting to the conference call elapses.

15. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are enabled to execute instructions causing the mobile communication device to receive the delay option selection further comprises:

the one or more processors are enabled to execute further instructions causing the mobile communication device to detect a direction of the message being moved and determine, based on the detected direction, that a delay option has been selected.

16. The mobile communication device of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors are enabled to execute further instructions causing the mobile communication device to provide a connection option for establishing a connection with a network server and a dismiss option for dismissing the first request.

17. The mobile communication device of claim 10, wherein the plurality of delay-time options enable different delay times.

18. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that are executable by at least one processor of a mobile communication device to cause the mobile communication device to perform a method, the method comprising:

displaying a message associated with a received first request for establishing a connection to a conference call;

receiving, on the mobile communication device, a delay option selection;

displaying, based on the received delay option selection, a plurality of delay-time options, each of the plurality of delay-time options providing a delay time for establishing a connection to the conference call; and

receiving a selection of one of the plurality of delay-time options associated with a time for establishing a connection to the conference call.
