Internet telephone voice mail management
First Claim
1. A method for managing entries within a voice mailbox for at least one user, comprising:
- calculating a separate Bayesian score for each voice mail message from among a plurality of voice mail message entries received into said voice mailbox for said user, wherein each said separate Bayesian score indicates a probability that each said separate voice mail message is unwanted by said user; and
responsive to a user selection during playback to delete entries, automatically deleting a selection of said plurality of voice mail message entries from said voice mailbox each with said separate Bayesian score greater than a particular Bayesian score of the last played voice mail message from said voice mailbox.

Abstract
A method, system, and program provide for voice mail management. A voice mail filtering controller calculates a separate Bayesian score for each voice mail message from among multiple voice mail message entries received into a voice mailbox for a user, wherein each separate Bayesian score indicates a probability that the associated voice mail message is unwanted by said user. During playback, the voice mail filtering controller automatically deletes a selection of the voice mail messages each with a separate Bayesian score greater than a particular Bayesian score of the last played voice mail message from the voice mailbox.

10. A system for managing entries within a voice mailbox for at least one user, comprising:
-
a voice mailbox for storing a plurality of voice mail message entries for said user;
said voice mailbox further comprising;
means for calculating a separate Bayesian score for each voice mail message from among said plurality of voice mail message entries stored in said voice mailbox, wherein each said separate Bayesian score indicates a probability that each said separate voice mail message is unwanted by said user; and
means, responsive to a user selection during playback to delete entries, for automatically deleting a selection of said plurality of voice mail message entries from said voice mailbox each with said separate Bayesian score greater than a particular Bayesian score of the last played voice mail message from said voice mailbox. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A program for managing entries within a voice mailbox for at least one user, said program embodied in a computer-readable medium, said program comprising computer-executable instructions which cause a computer to perform the steps of:
-
controlling calculation of a separate Bayesian score for each voice mail message from among a plurality of voice mail message entries received into said voice mailbox for said user, wherein each said separate Bayesian score indicates a probability that each said separate voice mail message is unwanted by said user; and
controlling automatic deletion of a selection of said plurality of voice mail message entries from said voice mailbox each with said separate Bayesian score greater than a particular Bayesian score of the last played voice mail message from said voice mailbox.
