Abstract

The present invention relates to a network-assisted communication method comprising: establishing a communication in a telecommunication network; capturing an identified communication contribution; and presenting and storing said communication contribution, associating the established communication with the captured communication contribution, and associating references to related communications to the established communication. The invention further relates to a telecommunication service, a server, a terminal device, and a computer software product therefor.

Claims

1. A network-assisted communication method comprising:

establishing a communication in a telecommunication network;

capturing an identified communication contribution; and

presenting and storing said communication contribution,

wherein the method further comprises the steps of

associating the established communication with a content of the captured communication contribution,

associating references to related communications to the established communication.

2. The network-assisted communication method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the further step of

transcribing the captured communication contribution.

3. The network-assisted communication method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the further step of

arranging and presenting the established communications as a history of personal communications, in the following called thread.

4. The network-assisted communication method according to claim 3, wherein said method comprises the further step of

associating or synchronizing multiple threads.

5. The network-assisted communication method according to claim 1, wherein the communication is associated with a type, the type describing at least one of used media, used devices, used network resources, participants.

6. The network-assisted communication method according to claim 1, wherein a communication is associated with a request, the request describing expected follow up communication.

7. The network-assisted communication method according to claim 5, wherein the communication is also associated with a grant, the grant describing at least one of resource dispatching, or billing.

11. A computer software product that is adapted to perform the network-assisted communication method according to claim 1.

8. A telecommunication service for network-assisted communication, the service comprising capturing means for capturing and storing an identified communication contribution for an established communication in a telecommunication network and presentation means for presenting said communication contribution, wherein said communication further comprises organization means for associating the established communication with the captured communication contribution, and associating references to related communications to the established communication.

9. A server in a telecommunication network comprising means for providing the service according to claim 8.

10. A terminal device in a telecommunication network providing a network-assisted communication, the terminal device comprising capturing means for capturing an identified communication contribution for an established communication and presentation means for presenting said communication contribution, said device further comprising organization means for associating the established communication with the captured communication contribution, associating references to related communications to the established communication, and retrieval means for retrieving communication information using associated communication contributions.
