Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04M 1/64

US Classification:

379 68, 379355, 379 8801, 379 8816, 37920101, 704208

Abstract:

Mechanisms are disclosed that allow for the use of a false background, or background tone, in voice input in a telephonic call. A voice input may have both voice from a user talking and a background noise input which may be every other noise received at the user's phone. A trigger to use a background tone is received, the background tone is selected and the associated background tone file is retrieved. Then, a combiner combines the voice input with the background tone file. A filter may be used to filter the actual background noise from the voice input. Additionally, background tones may be used in various telephonic networks, including traditional land-line and wireless cellular networks.
