Appl. No.:

8/835150

Inventors:

Masahiko Nishimura - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

H04M 342

US Classification:

379201

Abstract:

Communications and messaging in a Computer-Telephony (CT) system are assisted using an Electronic Call Request (ECR), a computer and network system construct that operates in place of a telephone call. An ECR is invoked and made a storage and communication entity in a computing and network environment in which the ECR is logged in a queue. The ECR in the form of a storage and communication entity navigates the telephone network under the direction of the caller who graphically manipulates the ECR using a graphical user interface (GUI). The ECR is activated into a telephone call at the command of a human or computer or network system agent generating a telephone call both to the caller and the call target.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0481
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A dynamic playlist generator is configured to provide users with a personalized playlist of media tracks based on user data. The system is configured to upload and analyze media tracks, extract enhanced metadata therefrom, and assign classifications to the media tracks based on the enhanced metadata. The system determines one or more conditions of the user and generates a personalized playlist based on matching the user's condition with media tracks that have classifications that correspond to such condition. The classifications can include categories of moods or pacing level of the media tracks. Personalized playlists can be generated based on matching user mood selections with the mood categories of the media tracks, or based on matching user biorhythmic data with the pacing level of the media tracks.
