Generating a pre-recorded response

Abstract

GENERATING A PRE-RECORDED RESPONSE ABSTRACT Generating [ 300 ] a pre-recorded response is described. Input [ 110 ] that defines a title [ 140 ] of selectable input is received [ 305 ]. Pre-recorded media content [ 130 ] is received [ 310 ]. The pre-recorded media content [ 130 ] is associated with the title [ 140 ], wherein when the title [ 140 ] of selectable input is selected the pre-recorded media content [ 130 ] is played.

1 . A method of generating a pre-recorded response, said method comprising:
 receiving input that defines a title of selectable input;   receiving pre-recorded media content;   associating said pre-recorded media content with said title,   
       wherein when said title of selectable input is selected said pre-recorded media content is played. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving said pre-recorded media content, wherein said pre-recorded media content is video content.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving said pre-recorded media content, wherein said pre-recorded media content is audio content.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 generating a list of responses, wherein each response of said list of responses is associated with pre-recorded media content.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said receiving pre-recorded media content comprises:
 receiving a portion less than a whole of said pre-recorded media content, wherein said portion corresponds to said title of selectable input.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 confirming said associating with a signal.   
     
     
         7 . A computer usable medium comprising instructions that when executed cause a computer system to perform a method of responding to an on-line message, said method comprising:
 receiving a selection of a title at an interface, wherein said title is associated with pre-recorded media content;   accessing said pre-recorded media content; and   transmitting said pre-recorded media content to be communicated as said response to an on-line message that was received at said interface, wherein said transmitting is initiated at said interface.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said accessing said pre-recorded media content comprises:
 accessing video content.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said accessing said pre-recorded media content comprises:
 accessing audio content.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein said transmitting comprises:
 displaying said pre-recorded media content at said interface.   
     
     
         11 . A video message responder comprising:
 a response generator configured for generating a pre-recorded response to an on-line message comprising:
 an input receiver configured for receiving input that defines a title of selectable input; 
 pre-recorded media content receiver configured to receive pre-recorded media content; 
 a media content assignor configured to associate said pre-recorded media content with said title, wherein when said title of selectable input is selected said pre-recorded media content is played; 
   a responder configured for enabling a display of said pre-recorded response to said on-line message, said responder comprising:
 a selection receiver configured to receive a selection of a title at an interface, wherein said title is associated with pre-recorded media content; 
 a media content accessor configured to access said pre-recorded media content; and 
 a media content transmitter configured to transmit said pre-recorded media content via said interface. 
   
     
     
         12 . The video message responder of  claim 11  wherein said pre-recorded media content comprises video content. 
     
     
         13 . The video message responder of  claim 11  wherein said pre-recorded media content comprises audio content. 
     
     
         14 . The video message responder of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a list generator configured for generating a list of responses, wherein each response of said list of responses is associated with pre-recorded media content.   
     
     
         15 . The video message responder of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a portion receiver configured for receiving a portion less than a whole of said pre-recorded media content, wherein said portion corresponds to said title of selectable input.
