First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- establishing, by a server system, an experience-sharing session, wherein the experience-sharing session comprises a share generated by a sharing device and received at the server system, wherein the sharing device comprises a head-mountable camera, wherein the share comprises a real-time video feed based on video captured by the head-mountable camera, and wherein the real-time video feed captures a wearer-experience associated with the sharing device;
receiving, by the server system, a status indication message, wherein the status indication message associates a busy status with the sharing device;
in response to receiving the status indication message, associating, by the server system, the busy status with the sharing device;
receiving, by the server system, a communication request, wherein the communication request is a request for the sharing device to accept a communication with a client device, wherein the communication request is received at a time when the busy status is associated with the sharing device, and wherein the communication request is initiated by the client device; and
in response to receiving the communication request at the time when the busy status is associated with the sharing device, the server system;
(i) refraining from relaying the communication request to the sharing device, and (ii) transmitting a share preview to the client device, wherein the share preview comprises at least a portion of the share, and wherein the portion of the share comprises at least a portion of the real-time video feed.

Abstract
Exemplary methods and systems relate to the handling of a communication request by a wearable computing device. For example, a wearable computing device may respond to communication requests by sharing real-time media that portrays the device'"'"'s surroundings and the activity of a user associated with the device. The wearable device or a server system communicatively linked to the wearable device may perform the reception and transmission functions. This process may proceed automatically or as a result of user-input and may additionally involve procedures for accepting or rejecting the communication request.
