Mobile communication device providing N-way communication through a plurality of communication devices
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a communication interface configured to;
receive incoming data encoded according to a first encoding scheme; and
send combined data;
a user interface configured to receive user data; and
transfer logic in communication with the communication interface and the user interface, the transfer logic configured to;
encode the user data according to a second encoding scheme to obtain encoded user data;
determine that the first encoding scheme is different from a second encoding scheme of the incoming data;
responsive to the determination, transcode incoming data received through the communication interface to obtain transcoded incoming data encoded according to the first coding scheme;
combine the encoded user data and transcoded incoming data to obtain combined data; and
cause the communication interface to send the combined data.

Abstract
A device may provide N-Way communication through multiple communication services. The device may receive user data from a user interface and incoming data from a communication interface. The incoming data may be received through a first communication service. The device may combine the user data and incoming data, including through any combination of encoding or decoding processes. The device may also send the combined data using the communication interface, such as through a second communication service. The device may also receive first incoming data through a first communication service and second incoming data through a second communication service. The device may combine the first incoming data and second incoming data for display on a user interface or to send across a third communication service.
