First Claim
1. A server device to manage a mobile communication, comprising:
- a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; and
a processor that is operative to perform actions, comprising;
creating a group associated with a spontaneous event, wherein the spontaneous event comprises a gathering of people in a physical location;
receiving a membership to the spontaneous event, wherein each member is associated with a mobile device;
receiving at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event;
distributing to each member'"'"'s mobile device the at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event, and further posting at least the media content message to a website associated with the spontaneous event;
determining an initial start time and an end time associated with the spontaneous event, based on receiving the at least text message or media content message; and
determining a revised start time as when a flow rate of messages shared between members of the group exceeds, a threshold during the spontaneous event, wherein the messages shared between members includes messages received from one member of the group that are distributed to other members of the group.

Abstract
A device, system, and method are directed towards determining a start and/or an end time for a spontaneous event. A mobile device user creates a group for the spontaneous event, and sends the members an invite. During the event, members share media content and/or text messages with other members. Based, in part, on a flow of media content and/or text messages between the members, a determination of a start time and/or end time of the spontaneous event is automatically performed. The start time may be based on when the group is created and/or revised when a flow rate of the media content and/or messages exceed a threshold. The end time may be based on the flow rate being less than another threshold. The location of the spontaneous event may also be determined based on a location of the member'"'"'s mobile devices during the event.

6. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for sharing of event information over a network, the computer-executable instructions when installed onto a computing device enable the computing device to perform actions comprising:
-
creating a group associated with a spontaneous event, wherein the spontaneous event comprises a gathering of people in a physical location; receiving a membership to the spontaneous event, wherein each member is associated with a mobile device; receiving at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event; distributing to each member'"'"'s mobile device the at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event; determining an initial start time and an end time associated with the spontaneous event, based on receiving the at least one text message or media content message; and determining a revised start time as when a rate of sharing of messages exceeds a threshold during, the spontaneous even, wherein the sharing of messages includes messages received from one member of the group that are distributed to other members of the group. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A mobile device for sharing information, comprising:
-
a memory component for storing data; and a processing component for executing data that enables actions, comprising; creating a membership group to a spontaneous event of a gathering of people in a physical location; sharing, during the event, at least one of media content or text message to at least one other mobile device associated with a member of the group, wherein sharing or the media content further comprises enabling automatic posting of the media content to a website associated with the event independent of further actions by the mobile device; enabling a determination of an initial start time or an end time of the spontaneous event based on the sharing of the at least one media content or text message; and determining a revised start time as when a rate of sharing of messages exceeds a threshold during the spontaneous event, wherein the sharing of messages includes messages received from one member of the group that are distributed to other members of the group. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for managing a mobile communication, comprising:
-
establishing a group associated with a spontaneous event, wherein each member of the group is associated with a mobile device, the spontaneous event being a gathering of people in a physical location; sharing among the group during, the spontaneous event at least one of a text message or media content message using at least one of the mobile devices; determining an initial start time and an end time associated with the spontaneous event, based on the sharing of the text message or media content message; and determining a revised start time as when a rate of sharing of messages exceeds a threshold during the event, wherein the sharing of messages includes messages received from one member of the group that are distributed to other members of the group. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus to manage a mobile communication, comprising:
-
a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; means for communicating an occurrence of an event of a gathering of people in a physical location; means for sharing messages, including media content, during the event; means for determining an initial start time and an end time of the event based, in part, on a flow of the shared messages during the event; and means for determining a revised start time based on sharing of messages at a flow rate above a threshold during the event, wherein the sharing of messages includes messages received from one member of a group that are distributed to other members of the group. - View Dependent Claims (21)
