Problems solved by technology

Another problem is that even if the sender does include the time zone (e.g. by sending a message saying "how about 3pm PST"), the receiver may not be sure how to convert that time to their local time zone

Embodiment Construction

[0039] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only.

[0040] figure 2 A communication system is shown comprising a first user (“Mary”) 202 with an associated first user terminal 204 and a second user (“Bob”) 210 with an associated second user terminal 212 . User terminals 204 and 212 may communicate over network 206 in the communication system, thereby allowing users 202 and 210 to communicate with each other over network 206 . In the preferred embodiment, the communication system is a packet-based P2P communication system, but other types of communication systems, such as non-P2P, VoIP or IM systems, can also be used. Network 206 may be, for example, the Internet or the PSTN. User terminal 204 may be, for example, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant ("PDA"), a personal computer ("PC") (including, for example, Windows TM 、Mac OS TM and Linux TM PC), gaming device, or other embedded device capable of connecting to the net...

Abstract

A method of processing a message for communication from a sender user terminal of a sender in a first time zone to a recipient user terminal of a recipient in a second time zone, the method comprising: receiving, at the sender user terminal from the sender, content of the message (104); determining that the content includes an indication of a time in the first time zone; sending the message over a network from the sender user terminal to the recipient user terminal; determining a corresponding time in the second time zone which corresponds to the time in the first time zone indicated by the indication; and conveying the message to the recipient at the recipient user terminal, the conveyed message (114) including a second indication which indicates the determined corresponding time in the second time zone.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to message processing. In particular the invention relates to processing a message for transmission from a sender user terminal of a sender in a first time zone to a receiver user terminal of a receiver in a second time zone. Background technique [0002] Messages can be sent between users using many different communication systems. For example, text-based messages (ie, messages with text content) may be sent between users as emails, instant messages, or SMS messages using a network such as the Internet or the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Other messages may be audio messages or multimedia messages. [0003] Messages can be sent over very long distances in very short time scales. In particular, messages may be sent between users in different time zones, eg over the Internet or PSTN. When a message is sent to a recipient, the sender may not be aware of the location or time zone of the recipient of the messag...
