Abstract

Video communications between multiple computer systems configured to transmit and receive video content. A client transmitter is enabled to transmit a video message for display on the client recipient. The client transmitter is configured to transmit or record the video message to the video server. The video message is archived by the video server. When the client recipient is unavailable during the beginning of the transmission of the video message and when the client recipient is available later during the transmission of the video message, the client recipient is enabled to display the video message from the beginning of the video message while the transmission of the video message is still ongoing.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a transmitting messaging client, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:

monitoring actions of a user of the transmitting messaging client;
storing interaction data associated with the monitored actions in a memory;
detecting a user action on the transmitting messaging client determined to be indicative of the user anticipating to transmit a streaming multimedia message from the transmitting messaging client, without first receiving an instruction from the user to transmit the streaming multimedia message, and based on the stored interaction data, wherein the detected user action is not an input from the user to transmit the streaming multimedia message and wherein the detected user action is detected before a capturing of the streaming multimedia message by an application on the transmitting messaging client;
predicting initiation of the application to perform the capturing of the streaming multimedia message, based on the stored interaction data, and without an indication of an identification of a receiving messaging client;
initiating the application to perform the capturing of the streaming multimedia message in response to the predicted initiation;
and
enabling the user of the transmitting messaging client to:
communicate, to an intermediary location in a communication network, after the capturing of the streaming multimedia message begins and before the capturing of the streaming multimedia message ends, the identification of the receiving messaging client;
and
end the capturing of the streaming multimedia message.

A computer-implemented method for providing multimedia messaging, the method comprising:

monitoring actions of a user of a transmitting messaging client;
storing interaction data associated with the monitored actions in a memory;
detecting a user action on the transmitting messaging client determined to be indicative of the user anticipating to transmit a streaming multimedia message from the transmitting messaging client, without first receiving an instruction from the user to transmit the streaming multimedia message, and based on the stored interaction data, wherein the detected user action is not an input from the user to transmit the streaming multimedia message and wherein the detected user action is detected before a capturing of the streaming multimedia message by an application on the transmitting messaging client;
predicting initiation of the application to perform the capturing of the streaming multimedia message, based on the stored interaction data, and without an indication of an identification of a receiving messaging client;
initiating the application to perform the capturing of the streaming multimedia message in response to the predicted initiation;
and
enabling the user of the transmitting messaging client to:
communicate, to an intermediary location in a communication network, after the capturing of the streaming multimedia message begins and before the capturing of the streaming multimedia message ends, the identification of the receiving messaging client;
and
end the capturing of the streaming multimedia message.

7 more elements

A transmitting messaging client comprising at least one processor configured to:

monitor actions of a user of the transmitting messaging client;
store interaction data associated with the monitored actions in a memory of the transmitting messaging client;
detect a user action on the transmitting messaging client determined to be indicative of the user anticipating to transmit a streaming multimedia message from the transmitting messaging client, without first receiving an instruction from the user to transmit the streaming multimedia message, and based on the stored interaction data, wherein the detected user action is not an input from the user to transmit the streaming multimedia message and wherein the detected user action is detected before a capturing of the streaming multimedia message by an application on the transmitting messaging client;
predict initiation of the application to perform the capturing of the streaming multimedia message, based on the stored interaction data, and without an indication of an identification of a receiving messaging client;
initiate the application to perform the capturing of the streaming multimedia message in response to the predicted initiation;
and
enable the user of the transmitting messaging client to:
communicate, to an intermediary location in a communication network, after the capturing of the streaming multimedia message begins and before the capturing of the streaming multimedia message ends, the identification of the receiving messaging client;
and
end the capturing of the streaming multimedia message.
