US 2014/0270709 A1 · REDUCING MEDIA CONTENT SIZE FOR TRANSMISSION OVER A NETWORK

Abstract

A device receives an indication that a user of the device wishes to share media content with another user. The device identifies a size associated with the media content and an acceptable media content size for successful transmission over a communication network. The size associated with the media content is compared with the acceptable media content size to determine whether the size associated with the media content exceeds the acceptable media content size. Upon determining that the size associated with the media content exceeds the acceptable media content size, the device enables the user of the device to reduce the size of the media content to the acceptable media content size. The user is enabled to graphically determine when the media content is reduced to the acceptable media content size.
