Problems solved by technology

However, these communication sessions may vary widely in their nature, such as long-term static with minimal user activity frequency, or short-term requiring more frequent user interaction
The varying nature of the potentially possible communications only complicates the problem of managing multiple simultaneous communications

Embodiment Construction

[0025] By way of illustration, it may be noted that as the functionality of mobile terminals increases, it becomes important to add expansion units to a communication session. However, current separate communication applications of conventional mobile terminals do not support smooth switching between the main communication session and the expansion unit. Switching between the main communication session and the expansion unit should be faster and more intuitive than traditional application switching.

[0026] Furthermore, there is currently no function of adding an extension unit to a communication session, even for a communication terminal capable of creating extended content such as creating images or downloading extended content such as music files. In many cases, an incentive to share content may arise during communication, so a means to fluently share content within a session should be easily accessible and operable by a user.

[0027] As will be apparent from what follow...

Abstract

The invention discloses a user interface apparatus, method and software used in communication terminals and used in combination with the communication terminals, wherein the user interface comprises at least one of a first view and a second view that provide a user with a visual representation of, at least, a type of at least one ongoing communication, participants in the at least one ongoing communication, and whether content is being shared with participants of the at least one ongoing communication. Compared with the prior art, the use of the invention enables the management of a plurality of simultaneous communication sessions to be simple and easy.

Description

technical field [0001] Example embodiments of the present invention relate generally to user interface (UI) technologies, and more particularly to graphical user interface (GUI) devices, methods and software for use in and in conjunction with communication terminals. Background technique [0002] In a traditional communication terminal such as a mobile phone, there is no single UI location capable of displaying all active ongoing communications at a glance. While individual applications can display their respective statuses, such as active IM conversations in an instant messaging (IM) application, the user is not provided with a coherent view of all active communication sessions. Furthermore, in traditional practice, any switching between communication sessions is done through the respective applications. [0003] Due to these deficiencies, managing multiple simultaneous communication sessions is difficult for users because communication management is fragmented into pieces...
