A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12010272B2) outlines a method for processing voice messages by a terminal. The method involves sending a request to a voice server to disable DTMF encoding on a communication channel, receiving configuration data from the server, interpreting this data to apply a mode of configuration for processing voice messages, and ultimately processing voice messages according to this configuration. The patent also details various scenarios for sending the request, including through signaling messages like SIP INVITE or SIP UPDATE, as well as determining the need to disable DTMF encoding based on the terminal's capabilities.

Furthermore, the patent describes methods for disabling DTMF encoding on a communication channel, both from the perspective of the terminal and the voice server. It includes instructions stored on a computer-readable data medium for executing these methods, emphasizing the use of alternative solutions such as voice recognition techniques. The patent also covers a communicating system involving a terminal and a voice server, detailing the process of interpreting configuration data and applying it to process voice messages. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for optimizing voice message processing by disabling DTMF encoding and implementing alternative communication solutions.
