Abstract
Provided herein are methods and systems for a sender-controlled contact media content type that can be sent among mobile devices, including addressing the contacts systems and methods of such devices to provide rich interactions among users upon the occurrence of contact events.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- a contact media content data structure created using a mobile device;
- a host computing system including at least one server for managing the contact media content data structure;
- and
- an installable application running on the host computing system for establishing a data connection with at least one mobile device of at least one call recipient,
- wherein the installable application is configured to allow discovery of peer devices in proximity to allow an exchange of the contact media content data structure between mobile devices of users of the host computing system, and
- wherein the contact media data structure is displayed on a screen of a call recipient's mobile device when the call recipient's mobile device is turned on and able to receive at least one of a data signal and a voice signal, and wherein a plurality of contact media data structures are organized into a channel that is personalized by the call recipient such that the call recipient's mobile device plays at least one of a series of contact media data structures upon occurrence of at least one of a plurality of contact events.
