Abstract

A method of content transmission to a mobile device in a mobile communication network is provided. The method includes determining whether the mobile device is in a first mode; delivering real-time content to the mobile device while the mobile device is in the first mode; and discontinuing delivery of real-time content if the mobile device is in a second mode.

Claims

1. A method of content transmission to a mobile device in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:

determining whether the mobile device is in a first mode;

delivering real-time content to the mobile device while the mobile device is in the first mode; and

discontinuing delivery of real-time content if the mobile device is in a second mode,

wherein the first mode is distinguished from the second mode based on at least one of length of user interaction with the mobile device to perform one or more functions and degree with which a power source of the mobile device is utilized.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first mode is an active mode.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second mode is an inactive mode.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining is performed based on status information sent from the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the first mode.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the second mode.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the discontinuing is performed based on status information sent from the mobile device.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the first mode.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the second mode.

10. The method of claim 4, wherein the status information is sent from the mobile device in predetermined time intervals.

11. A method of content transmission to a mobile device in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:

determining whether the mobile device is in a first mode;

receiving real-time content while the mobile device is in the first mode; and

discontinuing receipt of real-time content if the mobile device is in a second mode,

wherein the first mode is distinguished from the second mode based on at least one of length of user interaction with the mobile device to perform one or more functions and degree with which a power source of the mobile device is utilized.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the first mode is an active mode.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the second mode is an inactive mode.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the determining is performed based on status information of the mobile device.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the first mode.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the second mode.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the discontinuing is performed based on status information of the mobile device.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the first mode.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the status information comprises information about whether the mobile device is in the second mode.

20. The method of claim 14, wherein the status information is based on at least one of whether a user has interacted with the mobile device'"'"'s user interface during a threshold period, whether the mobile device'"'"'s cover is in an open position, and whether the mobile device'"'"'s illumination unit is turned on.
