The patent US12047532B2 outlines a method and system for transmitting status information related to user readiness for communication. The method involves two primary components: a speech communications server and a text communications server. The first device conveys speech communication through the speech server, while a second device receives text communication via the text server. The first device generates a status based on messages sent through the speech server, indicating the user's readiness to engage in communication. This status information is then transmitted to the text communications server, with provisions for automatic updates in response to call initiation attempts.

Additionally, the patent describes various functionalities of the system, including the ability to transmit status items to the second device and the exchange of status information between the two servers. The status can be derived from a Computer-Supported Telecommunications Applications (CSTA) stanza linked to ongoing voice communications. The text communications server is designed to send messages without requiring a request, enhancing the efficiency of communication. The patent also covers the storage of instructions on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, which, when executed, facilitate the described communication processes. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for improving communication readiness signaling between devices.
