Method and system for coordinating communication devices to create an enhanced representation of an ongoing event
First Claim
1. A coordinating component for creating an enhanced representation of a communication session established between a plurality of communication devices, said coordinating component comprising:
- a first input port for receiving a first input from a first of said plurality of communication devices;
a second input port for receiving a second input from a second of said plurality of communication devices, wherein said first of said plurality of communication devices and said second of said plurality of communication devices do not have a prior association;
a generator for selectively combining said first input and said second input to create said enhanced representation of said communication session; and
an output port for sending said enhanced representation of said communication session.

Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention recites a coordinating component for creating an enhanced representation of an ongoing event using inputs from a communication session established between a plurality of communication devices. A first input port receives a first input from a first of the plurality of communication devices. A second input port receives a second input from a second of the plurality of communication devices. The first of the plurality of communication devices and the second of the plurality of communication devices do not have a prior association. A generator for selectively combining the first input and the second input creates an enhanced representation of the ongoing event. The enhanced representation is then output from an output port.
