Abstract
In order to provide non-confusing information on supported media types in a group to group members, information on messages indicating supported media types are cross-checked with usable media types in the group.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- and
- at least one processor;
- and
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive a message containing no media content, the message indicating one or more supported media types by a group;
- cross-check the indicated supported media types with usable media types;
- based on the cross-check, determine whether the indicated one or more supported media types is found in the usable media types of the group;
- and
- based on the determination, send the message without modifying the indicated supported media types if all indicated supported media types are usable media types.

An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- and
- at least one processor;
- and
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive a message, the message including at least one of an advertisement of a group and an invitation to group members to join a group, the message containing no indication of one or more supported media types by the group;
- and
- based on the message, add an indication of supported media types by the group to the message.

An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- and
- at least one processor;
- and
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive a message containing no media content, the message indicating one or more supported media types by a group;
- compare the indicated supported media types by the group with capabilities of the apparatus;
- based on the comparison, determine whether the indicated one or more supported media types by the group are supported by the apparatus;
- and
- show the message to a user if all indicated supported media types are supported by the apparatus capabilities.
7 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an apparatus supporting group communication, a message containing no media content, the message indicating one or more supported media types by a group;
- comparing, in response to the message, the one or more supported media types to one or more media types defined to be usable by the group;
- based on the comparison, determining whether the one or more supported media types can be found in the media types defined to be usable by the group;
- and
- determining how to continue based on the comparison.
2 more elements
A computer program product embodied in a device-readable non-transitory medium and comprising program instructions, wherein execution of the program instructions cause a device containing the computer program product to perform a process, the process comprising:
- receiving a message containing no media content and indicating at least one supported media type by a group;
- comparing, in response to receiving the message, the indicated at least one supported media type with media types defined to be usable by the group;
- determining, based on the comparison, whether the indicated at least one supported media type is found in the media types defined to be usable by the group;
- and
- deciding how to continue based on the comparison.
