First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a transceiver for accessing a packet-based network;
a screen;
a sensor for sensing a spatial state of the mobile device;
a communication processing apparatus, coupled to the transceiver, the screen, and the sensor, the communication processing apparatus configured to conduct a packet-based video call with a remote device via a channel established over the packet-based network, the communication processing apparatus configured to detect, during the video call, whether said mobile device is in a first spatial state or a second spatial state, and responsive to detecting that the mobile device is in the second spatial state;
automatically disable encoding and transmission of an outgoing video signal of the call from the mobile device to the remote device; and
automatically transmit a control message to the remote device, the control message causing the remote device to automatically suspend transmission of an incoming video signal for the call from the remote device to the mobile device.

Abstract
A mobile device and corresponding method and program. The mobile device comprises: a transceiver for accessing a packet-based network; a screen; communication processing apparatus coupled to the transceiver and screen, for conducting a packet-based video call with a remote device via a channel established over the packet-based network; and a sensor for sensing a spatial state of the mobile device. The communication processing apparatus is coupled to the sensor and configured so as to detect, during the video call, whether the mobile device is in a first spatial state or a second spatial state, and to suppress a video function of the call when in the second spatial state but not in the first spatial state.

13. A method comprising:
-
establishing, at a mobile device, a packet-based video call with a remote device via a channel established over a packet-based network; detecting, during the video call, whether said mobile device is in a first spatial state or a second spatial state; and responsive to detecting that the mobile device is in the second spatial state; automatically disable encoding and transmission of an outgoing video signal of the call from the mobile device to the remote device; and automatically transmit a control message to the remote device, the control message causing the remote device to automatically suspend transmission of an incoming video signal for the call from the remote device to the mobile device.

14. A computer-readable storage device comprising code stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a processing apparatus of a mobile device, performs operations comprising:
-
establishing a packet-based video call with a remote device via a channel established over a packet-based network; detecting, during the video call, whether said mobile device is in a first spatial state or a second spatial state; and responsive to detecting that the mobile device is in the second spatial state; automatically disable encoding and transmission of an outgoing video signal of the call from the mobile device to the remote device; and automatically transmit a control message to the remote device, the control message causing the remote device to automatically suspend transmission of an incoming video signal for the call from the remote device to the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
