Dynamic grouping of wireless terminal
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting media to a plurality of wireless terminals via a wireless telecommunications network comprising:
- a wireless telecommunications network determining the locations of wireless terminals disposed within a proximity of a location;
a wireless telecommunications network forming a dynamic location-based group of the wireless terminals disposed within the proximity of the location, wherein the number of wireless terminals in the group changes as wireless terminals enter or leave the proximity;
transmitting a group-specific media message from the wireless telecommunications network to each of the wireless terminals in the group;
adding new wireless terminals entering the proximity of the location to the dynamic location-based group; and
transmitting the group-specific media message to the new wireless terminals added to the dynamic location-based group.

Abstract
A system and method of transmitting media to a plurality of wireless terminals. The method includes forming a group of wireless terminals, and transmitting a group-specific media message to each of the wireless terminals in the group. The method can include forming a location-based group of wireless terminals disposed within a proximity of a location and transmitting a media message to each of the wireless terminals in the location-based group. The method can also include determining the location of the plurality of wireless terminals. The system includes a Location Server for determining the location of the plurality of wireless terminals and an Application Server for grouping the wireless terminals. The system also include a Call State Function Controller for routing calls thereby transmitting the group-specific media messages to the wireless terminals in the group via wireless interfaces.

12. A wireless communications system for transmitting media to a location-based group of wireless terminals comprising:
-
a wireless network Location Server for determining the wireless terminals disposed within a proximity of a location; a wireless network Application Server for grouping the wireless terminals disposed within the proximity of the location into a dynamic location-based group, wherein the Application Server adds new wireless terminals entering the proximity to the location-based group; and a wireless network Call State Function Controller for transmitting group-specific media to the group of wireless terminals over a wireless interface, wherein Call State Function Controller transmits the group-specific media to the new wireless terminals entering the proximity. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
