Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of augmenting a telecommunications call, the method comprising detecting a telecommunications call event at a user telecommunications device 10; selecting an item of media content 101, the item of media content 101 being associated with a uniform resource identifier or URI; augmenting the call with the item of media content 101; detecting a user interaction with the item of media content 101; and on termination of the call, performing an action in dependence on the resource identified by the URI. The invention extends to a corresponding system and apparatus.
Claims19
A method of augmenting a telecommunications call, comprising:
- using a processor of a user telecommunications device for:
- detecting a telecommunications call event;
- selecting an item of media content, the item of media content being associated with a uniform resource identifier or URI;
- modifying a presentation of a call screen presented on a display of the user telecommunications device in association with the telecommunications call event by augmenting said presentation with the item of media content, without obscuring information related to said telecommunication call and presented on said display, during said telecommunications call event;
- detecting a user interaction with the augmented item of media content before termination of the call;
- and
- responsive to detecting the user interaction, on termination of the call, performing an action in dependence on the resource identified by the URI.
Apparatus for augmenting a telecommunications call in the form of a client device, the apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute the instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a telecommunications call event at a user telecommunications device;
- selecting an item of media content, the item of media content being associated with a uniform resource identifier or URI;
- modifying a presentation of a call screen presented on a display of the user telecommunications device in association with the telecommunications call event by augmenting said presentation with the item of media content, without obscuring information related to said telecommunication call and presented on said display, during said telecommunications call event;
- detecting a user interaction with the augmented item of media content before termination of the call;
- and
- responsive to detecting the user interaction, on termination of the call, performing an action in dependence on the resource identified by the URI.
