Media/voice binding protocol and related user interfaces

摘要

One or more media items can be bound to a voice call using a binding protocol. The binding protocol allows call participants to more easily transfer media items to other call participants using one or more user interfaces. A call participant can initiate a media transfer by selecting the media and a communication modality for transferring the media. The binding protocol can be active or lazy. In lazy binding, the call participant can select the desired media for transfer before the voice call is established, and subsequently mark the media for binding with the voice call. In active binding, the call participant can select and transfer the desired media item during the voice call, and the media item is automatically bound to the voice call. The media item can be transferred using a user-selected communication modality over an independent data communication channel.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method performed by one or more hardware processors of a mobile device, comprising:
detecting an ongoing voice call; presenting, in response to the detection of the ongoing voice call, a user interface to enable selection of media items to transfer to a participant of the ongoing voice call; receiving, via the user interface, a selection of one or more media items; automatically binding the one or more media items to the voice call in response to the received selection; receiving a request to transfer the one or more media items; and transferring the one or more media items to the call participant based on the binding, wherein the one or more media items are transferred over a first secure data communications channel independent of a second communications channel used to conduct the voice call.
