摘要:
Media is exchanged by the interaction between devices of an environment. A first device of a first user discovers existing devices within a proximity-based communication range of the first device that have media capable of being shared. As the first user encounters different people and places that have other devices, those other devices are discovered by the first device of the user. A list of available media is provided from the discovered devices to the first device where it is then displayed. The first user may then select a media item from the list to obtain it via sharing or purchase, have it bookmarked for future retrieval from the current source, or request playback of the media item such as by streaming or broadcast. The first device may provide information about capabilities and/or user profile information to the other devices to filter which media items are presented to the first device.

A manager interfaces with communications systems such as a telecommunications and/or data network. The manager allows a user to participate in, keep track of, log, monitor, and engage or direct activities relating to communications. The manager may include user data and keep it current, receive and display data on a user's communications, and respond to communications with a standard or selected response. The manager may make information related to the data or the received communications available and include a message log with entries on communications of the user including instant or chat room messages, and unanswered calls. The manager may include a directory that is kept current using data on received communications and may include a calendar with scheduled activities.

An apparatus for use with an output device coupled to one or more sources of multimedia content comprises an operator interface, a record generator and a network interface. The operator interface receives information responsive to a user's observation of a segment of multimedia content. The record generator creates a record that identifies the segment of multimedia content and includes information responsive to the user's observation of the segment of multimedia content. The network interface communicates presence information. The apparatus generates a record that provides a mechanism for interactive and collaborative communication between interested parties with access to a device that can access and synchronize the presentation of the segment of multimedia content and the user information.

Providing a user of a mobile communication device with direction information is disclosed. A router is adapted to receive a direction information query message for direction information for a destination telephone number from a mobile communication device. The router determines whether the destination telephone number is associated with a first telephony system or is associated with a second telephony network. A server and a gateway are connected to the router. The server is in communication with a database having directory information associated with the first telephony network stored therein. The gateway is in communication with the second telephony network. If the destination telephone number is associated with the first telephony network, the router provides the server with the direction information query message. If the destination telephone number is associated with the second telephony network, the router provides the gateway with the direction information query message. The mobile communication device includes logic embodied in a computer readable medium for generating a direction information query message, the direction information query message including a reference location indicator, and logic embodied in a computer readable medium for displaying direction information related to a destination telephone number.
