SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GROUP COMMUNICATION USING A MOBILE DEVICE WITH MODE DEPENDING ON USER PROXIMITY OR DEVICE POSITION
First Claim
1. A method of group communication using a first mobile device, comprising:
- establishing a communication session with at least one second mobile device;
detecting a motion of the first mobile device corresponding to a user placing the mobile device on a surface;
maintaining the communication session with the at least one second mobile device in an active mode while the user is detected in proximity to the first mobile device; and
entering a non-active communication mode when the user is not detected in proximity to the first mobile device.

Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling group communications using a mobile device includes detecting a motion of the mobile device corresponding to a user placing the device on a surface, maintain a communication session with another mobile device while the user is detected in proximity to the first mobile device, and entering a non-active communication mode when the user is not detected in proximity to the device. The communication session may be maintained for a time-out period before entering the non-active mode. Further methods and systems include transitioning to a non-active communication mode in response to detecting a motion of the mobile device corresponding to a user placing the device on a surface.
