COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SINGLE-MODE AND AUTOMATIC MEDIA CAPTURE

摘要

Devices are configured to capture and share media based on user touch and other interaction. Functional labels show the user the operation being undertaken for any media captured. For example, functional labels may indicate a group of receivers, type of media, media sending method, media capture or sending delay, media persistence time, discrimination type and threshold for capturing different types of media, etc., all customizable by the user or auto-generated. Media is selectively captured and broadcast to receivers in accordance with the configuration of the functional label. A user may engage the device and activate the functional label through a single haptic engagement, allowing highly-specific media capture and sharing through a single touch or other action, without having to execute several discrete actions for capture, sending, formatting, notifying, deleting, storing, etc. Devices include any number of sensors to properly detect and act in accordance with the user engagement.

主权项

1. A method for selecting and sharing media in a single haptic engagement manner, said method comprising:
presenting at least a media on at least a display; presenting at least a functional label on at least a pre-defined portion of said at least a display, said functional label being functionally configured to correspond to at least a receiver, said functional label being further functionally configured to capture said at least presented media while selecting said at least a receiver, said functional label being still further functionally configured to share said captured media, said at least a receiver being communicably coupled to a sender through said method; and identifying haptic contact engagement, using at least a touch sensor, on said at least a functional label in order to select said at least a receiver, to capture said presented at least a media, and to send said captured at least a media to said at least a receiver, all in a single haptic engagement manner.
