DEVICE ORIENTATION CAPABILITY EXCHANGE SIGNALING AND MULTIMEDIA CONTENT SERVER ADAPTATION IN RESPONSE TO DEVICE ORIENTATION

摘要

The equipment (110) e.g. cell phone, has an orientation sensor, a display device, a radio-frequency transmitter-receiver, and a processor that is coupled with the radio frequency transmitter-receiver in a functional manner. A memory is coupled with the processor in a functional manner. The memory stores instructions for configuring the processor to emit information regarding orientation capabilities of the equipment, where the capabilities include predetermined orientation positions that correspond to orientation information of the orientation sensor. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for controlling distribution of streaming or downloading multimedia content from a server to a client user equipment of a wireless network (2) a support comprising instructions for performing the method for controlling distribution of streaming or downloading multimedia content.
