In the UI space that the work space of this employing is considered to link up, this space provides the rapid visit to the expanding device of a group communication devices and ad-hoc communication session (for example sharing means).(for example contact person or the daily record the conventional terminal (legacyterminals)) may take place from diverse location although communication starts, after starting communication, the effect of the work space performance principal space.By the work space notion, other communication patterns become available immediately after being activated by the user.
As non-limiting example, work space can comprise various labels, and wherein each label can be represented zones of different and communication pattern.The non-limiting example of label comprises: details/participant, and wherein the user can be easy to check the available function and the recipient of network; IM; PoC; Call out; And share.In other embodiments, as another non-limiting example, this can the tool using bar and realizes.
Fig. 1 shows the non-limiting example of work space view, wherein have expression participant, IM, calling, PTT and shared different labels, file-sharing, communication terminal digital camera view finder shared (Fig. 1 is depicted as real-time video and shares), application program shared (for example music) and the blank wherein shared between the label support call participant are shared.When the user is in required state, share by on the UI of communication terminal, selecting " sharing now " to start.
Use an advantage of work space view to be that the information that is distributed in traditionally in the interior single utility program of terminal presents visually in a single and coherent position, wherein the user can also manage expansion unit (for example sharing) glibly.And the user can be switched between the different communication device fast, and change and identical participant's communicating devices.
Another unrestricted aspect of the present invention is the session view, and this session view is collected all activated for example calling of communication session, IM, PoC, video call and Sharing Information.The session view is supported the user checks all collections in single and coherent UI position information.Except communication session visual, also support the user to carry out the relevant task of session management, such as but not limited to stopping communication, switching and listen to channel and add ad-hoc participant.
With reference to Figure 14, it shows the example of display 104 expression, and how mutually the notion, different views that this expression shows work space view, session view and dialogue logic association and how the telecommunication management function is provided.Can see, utilize input equipment 106 from my dialog screen, to select group's 1 view to present session 1 call screen, and start chat sessions by beginning input text under this instant message transrecieving situation by the user.Between label, move and to add communication or to start shared current sessions by the user.For example, Emilia can loquitur in PTT (Push-to-Talk) screen, and also can share image or video between the participant.As three non-limiting examples, can be from the show grid of for example contacts screen or useful application or from the daily record initiation session.In addition, support the user at two or more carry out switching between the middle session (for example, in this non-restrictive example, being session 1 and session 2).
The specific names that should be noted that these UI spaces and view is that work space and session are introductory and vague generalization is descriptive to be provided, but is not taken in practice and realizes the time of the present invention by interpretation or be interpreted as ways to restrain.For example, these UI views can be called different titles, perhaps simply are called " first view " and " second view ", perhaps are called " view A " and " view B ", and these all are non-limiting examples.
With reference to figure 2, the mode that is not construed as limiting for convenience's sake is shown as a list of entries of " bubble " and represents a session." bubble " can be considered to drafting (delineated) zone of display 104, and it is defined as the information that is used to present about an ad-hoc communication session, and is not limited to any given shape, color and/or other present attribute.All sessions can be considered to have equal importance.Session participant (group or individuality) and can be illustrated in " bubble " with each session association to the indication of communication pattern.If particular demographic does not have the title (for example ad-hoc group) of preservation, then telephone number/title, group name (for example football team) or at least participant's subclass may be displayed in " bubble " of this session.UI focuses on " bubble " that indication is selected, and this is for example to pass through color, perhaps indicates by the brightness of not emphasizing non-selected " bubble ".The user can roll between " bubble ".If incident has taken place in session, for example the user receives new IM, then indicates this incident in affected " bubble ", but preferably, (space) of " bubble " order does not change.
When special session was focused, when just specific when having selected " bubble ", the user can for example activate (calling out if for example keep), open this " bubble " to check additional detail, and perhaps the user can stop communication.
In other embodiments, can use the function that realizes " bubble " as the tool bar of another non-limiting example.
Above-mentioned sharing functionality is described now in further detail.
Shared related aspect of the present invention provides a kind of UI to realize sharing otherwise shared content (for example being arranged in the content that still user has the ability to control for shared purpose at least of other equipment) of content that the user that resides in communication terminal 100 in produces and other guide or user in the communication session to be supported in the communication session in concentrated, quick and user-friendly mode.
In example embodiment of the present invention, the special-purpose forum that concentrates that each session has himself is used to share, thereby the user can follow the tracks of shared what content of user and share with whom.This task of being used for shared any kind communication supports forum also to support the purposes of content shared to change.
Fig. 3 shows the expression of the concentrated forum that is used to share of a part that forms rich-call convergence (convergence) UI/ work space.Should concentrate forum to support for example picture, video, music and other audio files, camera view finder, application program and blank are shared.As non-limiting example, during the communication session that can share can comprise calling, PoC and IM.Note, share and also can self independently exist.In example shown in Figure 3, the user selects to be shared in the video of taking in the park, and when opening, video clipping is transmitted to other sessions participant (for example calling out or the PoC session participant), and can be checked by other sessions participant.Notice that this sharing can be by carrying out flow transmission (wherein document control and entitlement are kept by the sender) or being undertaken by sending file from terminal 100.
Use an advantage of this aspect of the present invention to be that it makes the terminal user obviously be benefited, because the demand of content shared takes place in communication period usually.Therefore, for providing the beginning content shared, the user can not upset the technology of main task (for example text or voice communication).Provide in order to by sharing the smooth technology that forum's control is shared according to the solution of illustrated embodiments of the invention, thereby and supported that the unification between the communication participant is collaborative with parallel the concentrating of ongoing online communication.It is available that the control of main task (communication) and subtask (sharing) all becomes at once.
Fig. 4 shows the user and is carrying out the following process of exemplary PoC communication period with participant Emilia, Jere and Pekka: adopt UI 102 to select to be stored in video (in the park) in the terminal 100, open video, stop at specified point, select to share video, wait for that participant's terminal accepts institute's shared content, and begin to share (share and open) then.
Fig. 5 shows replaceable process: it uses the application program grid to select picture library (gallery) application program, select to comprise the video clipping file of video (in the park) then, and select video to share with the existing dialogue (for example PoC of example dialogue) of group 2.
In example embodiment of the present invention, sharing option includes, but are not limited to: Image Sharing, camera view are shared, video is shared, music sharing, application program is shared and blank is shared.For image/video/music sharing, but it may expect to be to have picture library view and image selection, to open image (perhaps music file) not compulsory, and by pressing UI 102 soft-key buttons 108 (beginning/cancellation) to begin shared or to stop sharing.Share for camera view, what may expect is to open camera view and begin to share (by the video recorder control: for example stop, writing down) then immediately.In first embodiment that application program is shared, open dialog box, it has the tabulation of all applications available.UI soft-key button 108 can be specified option, and can use joy stick function to select and to open application program, may not can begin immediately but share.Replace, control is provided in application view, for example " begin to share (start sharing) ".In second example embodiment that application program is shared, all application view and be not only selected view and be shared.Open dialog box, it has the tabulation of all applications available, and UI soft-key button 108 can be similarly specified option.Can use joy stick function selecting and to open application program, and share in the case and do not begin immediately.In application view, place control equally.For the situation that blank is shared, what may expect is to open blank (being embedded into shared label) and begin immediately to share.
Share and under the situation that does not have communication, to carry out, and sharing in the application program grid can be regarded as shortcut.When the user moves to another label from sharing label, may expect to share and continue.Share and to have audio-frequency unit (audio-frequency unit that for example only has music perhaps is attached to for example video of other guide).
As mentioned above, provide the UI 102 that a plurality of communications are simultaneously handled that session view as shown in Figure 6 preferably is provided, the UI space that its expression links up to be providing rapid visit and the switching between all possible communicator to all possible communicator, and the content/communication expanding device of session " bubble " is provided.
Fig. 7 shows an example using the work space notion.Suppose that the user selects the contact person from the application menu, in contacts list, select the individual of called after Matti then, call out Matti then.In the work space view, call tag shows has the session " bubble " that Matti is called out, and session view (although may not can simultaneously as seen) demonstration simultaneously is to the calling of Matti.
Fig. 8 shows through the following steps will upgrade to group call at the calling of Matti: at first, in calling out (perhaps session) view, select option, then, from option list, select " adding the participant ", it has drawn contacts list, make the user can select Liisa, Liisa called out and be added to call out and the session view the two (although for the user may not can the while as seen) in 1 participant list of group.In addition, it shows to have and calls out and IM/ chats and is connected the session of the two.
Should be noted that the session participant information in the work space view preferably is updated also to show the information about Liisa.In addition, the session view will be and the additional transit number of the session of group the number that this number indication ad-hoc connects simultaneously with the session updates of Matti.
Normally, any change takes place in a session at every turn, these changes are reflected in the work space, and also are reflected in (according to the type that changes) in the session view as a rule.For example: (for example ought add the participant, perhaps delete the participant) when the participant of session changes, this change is reflected in the work space, but not necessarily is reflected in the session view.This is correct, because if the group of this group for preserving, then the session group name that preferably remains on preservation claims down, even be not that all members may participate in.Another example is when some change relevant with communication pattern takes place.In the case, change and to be reflected in the work space, and in most cases be reflected in the session view: for example, adds new communication pattern, deleting communication pattern, activation/forbidding is shared and new IM message is indicated in the session view.
For participant's label, should be noted that this is a kind of state that is reflected in the variation that takes place among the communication session participant during the session.Yet this state can also comprise other information.As some non-limiting examples, these other information can comprise one or more in following: the availability of application-specific (this can also provide in conjunction with different communicators); Preferred or avoid communicator (for example according to online or some configuration); And function, for example at the participant's of visible different communication form function here (terminal 100 or network are relevant).
Fig. 9 shows two participants that call out with group 1 and chats/beginning of IM session.This realizes by be rolled to the chat label from call tag in UI.Chat begins by input text simply.The session view is depicted as chat/IM and call session with the session " bubble " of group 1 then.
Figure 10 shows by using the PTT option to start the example of new communication session to get in touch three new participants (for new group 2).This session view shows two communication sessions then, at the initial IM of group 1 and call session and at the new PTT session of group 2.
Figure 11 shows the video of sharing " in the park " in the above-mentioned example with three PTT participants of group 2.Share to be to start through the following steps: be rolled to shared label from the PTT label of UI, from the sharing option that shows, select video then, select immediately following video thereafter, wait for and accepting, and begin to share (share and open).The session view is updated to show at the PTT session of group 2 and has shared unlatching then.Note, accept notification indicator and optional, and preferably the user can select to show or do not show them.
Figure 12 shows the UI at following situation: the calling of first session is terminated, and only stays with communicating by letter of ongoing chat sessions of Liisa and Matti and the group with three different participants 2 simultaneously to share the PTT that opens.
Based on foregoing description, should be appreciated that one aspect of the present invention is the realization that is used for user's expansion unit is added into the UI 102 of communication terminal 100, and another aspect of the invention is the UI 102 that is used for communication terminal 100.UI 102 shows or in other mode work space view and session view is described that this work space view provides the visable representation of lising at least down with the session view for the user: the type of communicate by letter in carrying out, the participant in communicating by letter in carrying out and whether with carry out middle participant's content shared of communicating by letter.
