SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-MODALITY COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A multi-modality electronic communication method for communication via end-user selected communication modalities, the method comprising:
- at a server,the server including a processor having access to at least one memory table operative to store, for each individual end user from among a multiplicity of end users, a plurality of destinations via which the individual end user receives communications via a corresponding plurality of communication modalities;
receiving at least one communication from at least one Tx client processor serving a Tx end user, the communication including;
content which the Tx end user wishes to send to an Rx end user; and
an indication of a known destination of an Rx end user, when a first communication modality is employed;
extracting said known destination from said communication and retrieving from the table, a retrieved destination other than said known destination via which the Rx end user receives communications via a second communication modality other than the first communication modality; and
sending said content to the Rx end user via the second communication modality to the retrieved destination.

Abstract
A multi-modality electronic communication method for communication via end-user selected communication modalities, including (at a server, having access to memory table/s operative to store, for each end user from among a multiplicity thereof, destinations via which the individual end user receives communications via a corresponding plurality of communication modalities): receiving communication/s from Tx client processor/s serving a Tx end user, the communication including content the Tx end user wishes to send to an Rx end user; and an indication of a known destination of an Rx end user, when a first communication modality is employed; extracting the known destination from the communication and retrieving from the table, a retrieved destination other than the known destination via which the Rx end user receives communications via a second communication modality; and sending the content to the Rx end user via the second communication modality to the retrieved destination.

19. A multi-modality electronic communication system for communication via end-user selected communication modalities, the system comprising:
-
computer-implemented memory including at least one memory table operative to store, for each individual end user from among a multiplicity of end users, a plurality of destinations via which the individual end user receives communications via a corresponding plurality of communication modalities; a server including a processor configured to access said at least one table and operative for; receiving at least one communication from at least one Tx client processor serving a Tx end user, the communication including; content which the Tx end user wishes to send to an Rx end user; and an indication of a known destination of an Rx end user, when a first communication modality is employed, extracting said known destination from said communication and retrieving from the table, a retrieved destination other than said known destination via which the Rx end user receives communications via a second communication modality other than the first communication modality; and interacting with communication equipment operative in accordance with said second communication modality so as to cause the communication equipment to send said content to the Rx end user via the second communication modality to the retrieved destination.

20. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a multi-modality electronic communication method for communication via end-user selected communication modalities, the method comprising:
-
at a server including a processor having access to at least one memory table operative to store, for each individual end user from among a multiplicity of end users, a plurality of destinations via which the individual end user receives communications via a corresponding plurality of communication modalities; receiving at least one communication from at least one Tx client processor serving a Tx end user, the communication including; content which the Tx end user wishes to send to an Rx end user; and an indication of a known destination of an Rx end user, when a first communication modality is employed; extracting said known destination from said communication and retrieving from the table, a retrieved destination other than said known destination via which the Rx end user receives communications via a second communication modality other than the first communication modality; and sending said content to the Rx end user via the second communication modality to the retrieved destination.
