System and Method for Providing Audible Messages in Replacement of Telephone Tones
First Claim
1. A computer implemented system for providing at least one audible message at a communication device in replacement of a pre-determined telephone tone, the system comprising:
- a tone detector interface for detecting the pre-determined telephone tone provided at the communication device;
an audible messages database accessible to the tone detector interface and the communication device, the audible messages database storing the at least one audible message; and
a tone replacement module in communication with the tone detector interface, the tone replacement module, in response to detecting the pre-determined telephone tone, providing the at least one audible message in replacement of the pre-determined telephone tone.

Abstract
A computer implemented system and method for providing at least one audible message at a communication device in replacement of a pre-determined telephone tone. There is provided a tone detector interface for detecting the pre-determined telephone tone provided at the communication device; an audible messages database accessible to the tone detector interface and the communication device, the audible messages database storing the audible messages; and a tone replacement module in communication with the tone detector interface. The tone replacement module, in response to detecting the pre-determined telephone tone, may provide the audible message in replacement of the pre-determined telephone tone.
