Patent Images
1. A method for automatically sending captured data to a voice communication session participant using a mobile communication device having a data capture apparatus, comprising:
- initiating a voice communication session to a participant while the mobile communication device is operating in a mode capable of performing a data capture event;
detecting when the mobile communication device performs the data capture event;
determining that the voice communication session between the mobile communication device and the participant is being conducted when the device performs the data capture event; and
in response to detecting the data capture event, automatically generating a message that includes data from the data capture event and automatically transmitting, concurrently with the voice communication session, the message to the participant independent of user input.
