摘要： In an embodiment, a given UE joins a local group communication session between a group of UEs, establishes itself as a director, obtains media feeds captured by media capturing UEs in the group of UEs and transmits a selected subset of the media feeds to a server for transmission to target UEs. In another embodiment, the server receives the media feeds itself and sends the media feeds to a director UE. The director UE indicates a selection of the subset of the media feeds to the server, and the server transmits the selected subset of media feeds to the target UEs. Accordingly, a local director UE can direct the subset to the target UEs by controlling which media feeds are sent to the server, or a remote director UE can direct the subset to the target UEs by controlling which media feeds the server sends to the target UEs.

摘要： In an embodiment, a given user equipment (UE) in a local communication session (e.g., a P2P or ad-hoc session) between multiple UEs is designated to record session data. The given UE records the session data exchanged between the multiple UEs during the local communication session and uploads the recorded session data to a server after the local communication session has terminated. In another embodiment, a session controller (e.g., a remote server or a P2P node) receives multiple media feeds from multiple transmitting UEs, and selectively interlaces subsets of the multiple media feeds into interlaced output feed(s) that are transmitted to target UE(s). The target UE(s) provide feedback which permits the session controller to determine a lowest relevant configuration (LRC) for the target UE(s) that is used to regulate the interlaced output feed(s) transmitted thereto.

摘要： In an embodiment, a communication device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a server, etc.) determines one or more current parameters associated with an operating environment of the first UE, and then excludes at least one communication mode from one or more available communication modes to produce a set of communication modes by which a second UE is recommended to contact the first UE. In another embodiment, the communication device selectively recommends communication groups to users of UEs with current operational capabilities similar to characteristics of the recommended communication groups. In another embodiment, a server determines that a threshold number or a threshold percentage of group-members of an existing communication group are friends with a set of users that do not yet belong to the existing communication group, and then recommends that the set of users join the existing communication group.

摘要： In an embodiment, a communication entity receives, during a communication session, media to be transmitted in association with the communication session at least between first and second user equipments (UEs). The communication entity detects a session disruption (e.g., a signal fade condition, backhaul congestion, etc.) during the communication session. In response to the detection of the session disruption, the communication entity records the received media. Upon detecting that the session disruption is no longer present, the communication entity transmits the recorded media. In an example, the communication entity can correspond to one of the UEs in the communication session such that the received media is received from a user of the respective UE, or alternatively to an application server that is arbitrating the session for the UEs such that the received media is received from one of the UEs in the communication session.

摘要： A software application that is installed on a device as part of a system for establishing communication between a first user device and at least one second user device. The communication includes a first-user-specified media content item. For example, the first-user-specified media content item can be played or displayed on the second user device prior to (or concurrent with) the establishment of the communication (which can be a voice call, text message, media push communication, IM message, PTT call, etc.). Alternatively, the first-user-specified media content can be played on the second user device without soliciting or engaging in other communication. The software application includes a graphical user interface that enables the second party to review, interact with, purchase and forward (push) the media content item communicated thereto as well as other graphical user interfaces that are common to all communication parties and enables the parties (whichever they may be at any instant) to push, receive, review, interact with, purchase and forward the media content communicated thereto as well as to access information or actions associated with the media content relayed between the parties or referenced on the graphical user interface.

摘要： A system, method and corresponding software application installed on communication devices of the system for communicating a media-based call alert from a calling-party device to a called-party device prior to establishing the voice call therebetween. The media-based call alert is played on the called-party device prior to (or concurrent with) the establishment of the voice call. Preferably, the communication of the media-based call alert is realized as part of a service that is available to subscribers of the service.

摘要： In an embodiment, an application server receives, from a given UE, data that is configured to visually represent physical user input detected at the given UE at a first level of precision. The application server determines data presentation capabilities of a target UE and/or a performance level associated with a connection between the application server and the target UE. The application server selectively transitions the received data from the first level of precision to a second level of precision based on the determination, and transmits the selectively transitioned data to the target UE for presentation. In another embodiment, the application server receives a request to adjust display settings of the target UE from the given UE responsive to detected physical user input. The application server selectively adjusts the target UE's display settings based on the received request.
