SELECTIVELY RESTRICING PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNICATION SESSIONS AT A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of determining whether to permit a server-arbitrated communication session at a wireless communications device within a wireless communications system, comprising:
- receiving, at the wireless communications device, a request to participate in the server-arbitrated communication session;
obtaining information related to a current location of the wireless communications device;
determining whether the obtained information satisfies one or more conditions of restriction and/or permission for participation of the wireless communication device in server-arbitrated communication sessions; and
selectively restricting the wireless communications device from participating in the server-arbitrated communication session based on the determining step.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed to determining whether to permit a server-arbitrated communication session at a wireless communications device within a wireless communications system. The wireless communications device receives a request to participate in the server-arbitrated communication session. The wireless communications device obtains information related to a current location of the wireless communications device. The wireless communications device determines whether the obtained information satisfies one or more conditions of restriction and/or permission for participation of the wireless communication device in server-arbitrated communication session. The wireless communications device selectively restricts itself from participating in the server-arbitrated communication session based on this determination.

39. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a wireless communications device configured to participate in a server-arbitrated communication session within a wireless communications system, cause the wireless communications device to perform operations, the instructions comprising:
-
program code to receive, at the wireless communications device, a request to participate in the server-arbitrated communication session; program code to obtain information related to a current location of the wireless communications device; program code to determine whether the obtained information satisfies one or more conditions of restriction and/or permission for participation of the wireless communication device in server-arbitrated communication sessions; and program code to selectively restrict the wireless communications device from participating in the server-arbitrated communication session based on the determination of the program code to determine. - View Dependent Claims (40)
