First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication method for sending time-based media from a sender to a recipient over a communication network, comprising:
- transmitting time-based media as the media is being created or retrieved from memory over the communication network before or at the same time a complete delivery route for delivering the time-based media to the recipient over the communication network is fully discovered.

Abstract
A system and method for the late-biding of time-based media in real-time With late binding, the sender may create time-based media before or at the same time an active delivery route to the recipient is discovered. As soon as the route becomes available, the media is transmitted. The existing DNS and email infrastructure is possibly used for route discovery, while any real-time transmission protocol may be used for the actual delivery of the media. “Progressive” emails may also be used for the real-time delivery of time-based media.
