Unified messaging architecture
First Claim
1. A method for rendering communications, the method comprising:
- receiving a message in a first media format; and
converting, by a system, the message to a second media format that conveys the message, wherein the message in the first media format has a restricted access that prevents the message from being forwarded, wherein converting the message maintains the restricted access such that the message is prevented from being forwarded in the second media format, the message comprising multipages comprising a first page and remaining pages, wherein converting to the second media format comprises converting the first page separately from the remaining pages, the first page not having the restricted access, the remaining pages being restricted to have access by only a recipient specified in the multipages.

Abstract
A system and/or methodology that unifies a telephonic communication component and/or system with a data (e.g., messaging) server component and/or system. The system can facilitate telephonically accessing rich information in the server (e.g., messaging server). This rich information can include email content, calendar content, contacts information, or the like. Moreover, with access to an application programming interface, the invention can add functionality to initiate email communications as well as to accept or cancel meetings. Furthermore, the invention can synchronize messages of disparate formats. By way of example a user can set an “Out of Office” (OOF) status on both an email systems and telephone voicemail system from one location in one action. In another aspect, it will be appreciated that any message or data component can be analyzed, transformed, matched and/or communicated from one system to another (e.g., server to telephone) in accordance with the subject invention.

20. A system for rendering communications, the system comprising:
-
a memory storage; and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to convert a message of a first media format to a second media format that conveys the message, wherein the message in the first media format has a restricted access that prevents the message from being forwarded, the conversion maintains the restricted access such that the message is prevented from being forwarded in the second media format, the message comprising multipages comprising a first page and remaining pages, conversion to the second media format converts the first page separately from the remaining pages, the first page not having the restricted access, the remaining pages being restricted to have access by only a recipient specified in the multipages.
