System and method for creating multimedia rendezvous points for mobile devices
First Claim
1. A method for creating a rendezvous point for mobile devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a rendezvous identification to a first mobile device wherein the rendezvous identification identifies a location of the rendezvous point of digital media;
consuming the digital media on the first mobile device;
connecting the first mobile device to the rendezvous point; and
transmitting a communication from the first mobile device to a second mobile device wherein connection of the first mobile device and the second mobile device to the rendezvous point enables the communication to be transmitted concurrently to consumption of the digital media wherein consumption of the digital media is not interrupted by transmittal of the communication.

Abstract
Systems and methods create multimedia rendezvous points for mobile devices. The mobile devices access digital media and/or a rendezvous identification (RID) for a rendezvous point of the digital media via a server and/or a networks. The mobile devices connect to the rendezvous point via the RID of the digital media for communicating with each other during consumption of the digital media. The mobile devices connect to and/or communicate with each other at the rendezvous point without disrupting consumption of the digital media. The users of the mobile devices share an experience of consuming the digital media via communications between transmitted between the devices as the digital media is viewed by the users. The rendezvous points may have subgroups which are based on attributes of the users, the mobile devices and/or the digital media. The users of the mobile devices create a private rendezvous point and/or a private RID which is accessible via an invitation and/or is based on the attributes of the users, the mobile devices and/or the digital media.

11. A system for creating a rendezvous point for mobile devices, the system comprising:
-
a first network; a first server connected to the first network; a first mobile device connected to the first network; a second mobile device connected to the first network wherein the first mobile device and the second mobile device may connect to the rendezvous point; digital media transmitted from the server to the first mobile device and the second mobile device via the network if the first mobile device and the second mobile device connect to the rendezvous point wherein the digital media is consumed by the first mobile device and the second mobile device; and a first communication transmitted from the first mobile device to the second mobile device if the first mobile device and the second mobile device connect to the rendezvous point wherein transmitting the communication does not interrupt consumption of the digital media by the first mobile device and the second mobile device and further wherein the communication is displayed on the second mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for creating a rendezvous point for mobile devices, the method comprising the steps of:
-
creating the rendezvous point for a first mobile device; connecting the first mobile device to the rendezvous point wherein connection of the first mobile device to the rendezvous point allows the first mobile device to consume digital media; creating a subgroup of the rendezvous point wherein the subgroup is associated with an attribute; connecting the first mobile device to the subgroup if an attribute associated with the first mobile device matches the attribute associated with the subgroup; consuming the digital media on the first mobile device; and transmitting a communication from the first mobile device to a second mobile device wherein the second mobile device is connected to the subgroup wherein transmittal of the communication does not interrupt consumption of the digital media by the first mobile device or the second mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
