Approving authorities have published the claims made by the company in their latest Patent Office Journal, giving a public notice.

In its patent application filed on August 21 this year, the company has said, “An object of the present invention is to provide a solution to how to implement sharing of multimedia contents from a media server to participants.”

During a group communication all participants may take turns to speak and listen to each other and it include data calls, audio calls, video calls, multimedia calls, messaging and emails.

According to Nokia, any kind of data can be shared in real-time or near real-time by using this multimedia sharing technique.
