Referring first to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a mobile device in one example implementation is shown generally as 100. Mobile device 100 comprises a number of components, the controlling component being microprocessor 102. Microprocessor 102 is typically programmed with an operating system 103 and controls the overall operation of mobile device 100. In some embodiments, certain communication functions, including data and voice communications, are performed through a communications module also referred to herein as a communication subsystem 104. Communication subsystem 104 receives communications signals 90 (also referred to herein as “messages”) from and sends messages to a wireless network 200. By way of example only, such communication signals 90 may correspond to phone calls, email or other data messages. Such communications signals 90 typically include identification information (such as caller ID information or identifier data 92) identifying the source of the message, as will be understood. In some instances, for example a conference call involving multiple third parties, the communications signals may include a plurality of caller IDs 92.
Microprocessor 102 also interacts with additional subsystems such as memory 105 which may include a Random Access Memory (RAM) 106 and flash memory 108, display 110, auxiliary input/output (I/O) subsystem 112, serial port 114, keyboard 116, speaker 118, microphone 120, short-range communications 122 and other devices 124.
Some of the subsystems of mobile device 100 perform communication-related functions, whereas other subsystems may provide “resident” or on-device functions. By way of example, display 110 and keyboard 116 may be used for both communication-related functions, such as entering a text message for transmission over network 200, and device-resident functions such as a calculator, media player or task list. Operating system software 103 code used by microprocessor 102 is typically stored in a persistent store such as flash memory 108, which may alternatively be a read-only memory (ROM) or similar storage element (not shown). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the operating system code 103, specific device applications, or parts thereof, may be temporarily loaded into a volatile store such as RAM 106.
The particular design of communication subsystem 104 is dependent upon the network 200 in which mobile device 100 is intended to operate, thus it should be understood that the design illustrated in FIG. 2 serves only as one example. Signals 90 received by antenna 154 through network 200 are input to receiver 150, which may perform such common receiver functions as signal amplification, frequency down conversion, filtering, channel selection, and analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion. A/D conversion of a received signal 90 allows more complex communication functions such as demodulation and decoding to be performed in DSP 160. In a similar manner, signals to be transmitted are processed, including modulation and encoding, by DSP 160. These DSP-processed signals are input to transmitter 152 for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion, frequency up conversion, filtering, amplification and transmission over network 200 via antenna 156. DSP 160 not only processes communication signals, but also provides for receiver and transmitter control. For example, the gains applied to communication signals in receiver 150 and transmitter 152 may be adaptively controlled through automatic gain control algorithms implemented in DSP 160.
The configuration and operation of an example mobile device, such as mobile device 100, in the context of displaying conference call participant identifier information is described in further detail in relation to FIGS. 4 to 8.
Referring now to FIG. 4, components of mobile device 100 are shown and described in further detail. The mobile device 100 may include an image database 402 which may be stored in memory 105 or other data storage. The image database 402 is configured to store a plurality of image data records 404 each containing data corresponding to an image 450. Alternatively, the image database 402 may be stored remotely, and the image data 404 may be communicated to the device 100.
The device 100 may include an address book database 406 which may be stored in memory 105 or other data storage. The address book database 406 is configured to store a plurality of address data records 408 each containing contact information data (such as a name, e.g. “Davey Jones”) and one or more corresponding address data (for example a phone number, mailing address, or email address). The image database 402 may comprise part of the address book database 406, such that address data records 408 may store one or more corresponding images 450/image data records 404.
As will be discussed in greater detail, below, a display interface 410 is provided which includes computer program instructions stored within memory 105 (which may include flash memory 108, or other computer readable medium) for execution by the CPU 102. The display interface 410 is operatively coupled to the display 110 as well as to the communications module/communication subsystem 104.
Referring briefly to FIG. 5A, illustrated therein is one example screenshot of a participant screen 500 as may be generated by the display interface 410 and displayed on the display 110. Such a participant screen 500 may be used to manage a conference call. The participant screen 500 displays a plurality of participant identifier images 502 (in this example, three participant identifier images 502 are illustrated), each corresponding to a participant on a conference call. Typically, each participant identifier image 502 will comprise a photographic image of the corresponding participant.
The participant identifier images 502 are displayed in a “dynamic carousel” 506, which reference herein is intended to comprise a plurality of whole and/or partial images displayed on the participant screen 500, which can be scrolled or cycled through, as will be understood. For large numbers of participants, it may not be possible to display all or even part of all of the corresponding participant identifier images 502 simultaneously on the participant screen 500. In some embodiments, such display might resemble or bring to mind a carousel. The display interface 410 is configured to enable a user to cycle through and select participant identifier images 502 on the participant screen 500. A static selection field 504 or moveable ring may be provided on the participant screen 500, which may be used to designate or select a particular participant identifier image 502. Participant ID 508, such as a participant's name and/or phone number, corresponding to each displayed participant identifier image 502, is also displayed.
The display interface 410 includes or is operatively coupled to the keyboard 116 or one or more of the user input components in the auxiliary I/O subsystem 112, such as a thumbwheel, trackball, directional pad, joystick, or touchscreen which enable the user to select or otherwise generate user input received by the CPU 102 and designating which participant identifier image 502 (and hence corresponding participant) the user wishes to select or otherwise manipulate, as will be discussed in greater detail, below.
A clock indicator 510 noting the time of day is displayed, shown centrally justified (horizontally) near the top of display 110 in this example. A call line indicator 512, identifying which line is participating in the conference call (particularly for mobile devices 100 having multiple communication lines) is shown near the top left corner of the display 110. A mail message icon 514 and battery charge status indicator 516 are also provided. A data transmission indicator 518 in the upper-right hand corner of display 110 is also displayed.
A conference call indicator 520, indicating that the mobile device is engaged in a conference call, together with a conference call timer 522, are also provided. An add caller “button” 524, which may be used to add additional participants to the conference call as will be discussed further, below, an options “button” 526 for generating a pop-up menu listing application options, and an end call “button” 528 for terminating a conference call, are also illustrated. Other “buttons” and screen layouts are possible, as will be understood.
While “buttons” 524, 526, 528 are shown as virtual keys provided on the display 110 in this example, it will be understood by persons skilled in the art that some mobile devices may provide one or more of these keys as physical keys on the mobile device.
Referring again to FIG. 4, a caller identifier module 414 may also be provided which includes computer program instructions stored within memory 105 for execution by the CPU 102 for identifying incoming callers/participants. Memory 105 comprises various other program code, such as other software applications, although these are not specifically shown for purposes of simplicity of illustration. Data storage 105 accessible by the CPU 102 may also include high speed cache memory.
In implementations in which incoming calls may be permitted to join a conference call, the caller identifier module 414 may be configured to determine a participant identifier image 502 for display on the participant screen 500 by identifying an address book record 408 corresponding to a caller ID 92 received by the communications module 104 (if a match exists).
Referring to FIG. 6, illustrated therein is an example screenshot 600 having a pop-up window 602, as may be generated by the display interface 410 upon initiating a conference call or clicking or otherwise triggering the add caller “button” 524, after a call has been initiated. The add caller window 602 includes an entry field 604, which is configured to receive as input, identifier information such as a name (or in the example illustrated, a phone number). Once input, the identifier information may then be matched by the interface 410 to an address book record 408 (if a match exists) to determine a corresponding participant identifier image 502 for display on the participant screen 500. An initiate call “button” 606, for inputting the identifier information and initiating the call to the proposed new participant is also provided, as well as an end call “button” 608 for terminating a call attempt to a proposed new participant. The communications module 104 will utilize the identifier information to directly call the intended new participant directly, or if the conference call is being managed by a conference call server will communicate the necessary phone number information to the conference call server for connecting the intended new participant. In alternate embodiments, a participant might be added by selecting a record 408 directly from the address book 406 database stored on the device 100.
Referring now to FIG. 5B, illustrated therein is an example screenshot of the participant screen 500 as may be generated by the display interface 410 and displayed on the display 110, after numerous additional participants and their corresponding participant identifier images 502 have been added to the carousel 506. With this example, fourteen participant identifier images 502 (or parts thereof) are illustrated. The number of participant identifier images 502 displayed may be limited for reasons of sizing constraints, while other participants (not currently displayed) may also be participating in the conference call. In view of the larger number of participants 502 displayed, only the participant ID 508 corresponding to the participant identifier image 502 in the static selection field 504, is displayed on the participant screen 500.
Referring now to FIG. 5C, illustrated therein is an example screenshot of the participant screen 500 of FIG. 5B, after the user has utilized the user input components 112 to cycle the participant identifier images 502 in the carousel 506 clockwise several positions. As can be seen, the participant identifier images 502′ positioned in the top left hand position of the carousel 506 in FIG. 5B have disappeared, while new participant identifier images 502″ (which were previously not illustrated because of space limitations) are now displayed in FIG. 5C. The participant ID 508 corresponding to the participant identifier image 502 now positioned in the static selection field 504, is displayed on the participant screen 500.
The user may then “click” or otherwise utilize the user input components 112 to select or designate the participant identifier image 502/participant now positioned in the static selection field 504, which in the present embodiment results in the generation and display of the example screenshot 700 of FIG. 7. The screenshot 700 includes a pop-up options menu 702, which contains the selected participant identifier image 502/705, together with the corresponding selected participant ID 508/704. The options provided by the options menu 702 may permit the user to engage or modify the various communications modes provided by the communications module 104. Typically, although not exclusively, such menu options affecting communication modes will relate to the selected participant 508/704.
The menu 702 may include an IM (“instant message”) Start Chat “button” 706, which may be used to initiate a IM chat with the designated participant 705 and send and receive instant messages. A start email “button” 708, to launch an email application and initiate the creation of an email message to be sent to the designated participant 705, and a split call “button” 710, to set up a sidebar, private voice call with the designated participant 705 or initiate a new conference call, may be provided. Other options may be reviewed by selection of a next “button” 712. For example, the additional options may include the establishment of a data link between the user's mobile device and that of the designated participant 705 to send and/or receive a multimedia signal. An end participant “button” 714, to terminate the participant's 705 participation in the conference call, may be provided.
Referring now to FIG. 8, there is shown a method 800 of providing on mobile device 100 a user interface for identifying a plurality of participants on a conference call.
In operation, the method 800 may be initiated by the establishment of a conference call (Block 802). As noted previously, such a conference call may be coordinated through a conference call server, or through the mobile device 100 directly (if it has a sufficient number of communication lines available). The display interface 410 determines a participant identifier image 502 for each participant in the conference call (Block 804). As discussed in greater detail previously, the participant identifier images 502 may be determined as a result of the user calling or adding participants to the conference call (with the corresponding images 502 selected via the address book 406). As an alternative, the caller identifier module 414 may match caller ID 92 data to the address data (typically a phone number) stored in the address data records 408, to determine corresponding participant identifier image(s) 502. For participants not having a corresponding image 450 in the image database 402, a “dummy” placeholder image might be selected or generated.
A participant screen 500 may be displayed on the display 110 of the mobile device 100 (Block 806). The screen 500 displays the dynamic carousel 506 of participant identifier images 502 (Block 808). As discussed previously, the user may then utilize the display interface to modify or manipulate the carousel 506, typically to enable the selection of a designated participant identifier image (Block 810). Having selected a designated participant, as noted above, the user may then engage or modify a communication mode with such designated participant (Block 812).
