Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to: connect a first mobile terminal to a cellular network; set up, through the cellular network, a first peer-to-peer video data session between the first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal using a multi-media protocol to forward video data from the first mobile terminal to the second mobile terminal, where the first peer-to-peer video data session allows video sharing without a centralized or an intermediary coordinator; set up, through the cellular network, a second peer-to-peer video data session between the first mobile terminal and a server, where, simultaneously with the first mobile terminal forwarding the video data to the second mobile terminal in the first peer-to-peer video data session, the video data is forwarded, over the cellular network via the second peer-to-peer video data session using the multi-media protocol, from the first mobile terminal to the server, where the second peer-to-peer video data session allows video sharing without a centralized or an intermediary coordinator, and where the server stores the video data in a memory and where the server does not participate in the first peer-to-peer video data session; and forward, to at least one of one or more third mobile terminals, an invitation from the server to access the video data stored in the memory, where the memory is located externally from the first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal, and the one or more third mobile terminals.
