Methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for detecting gesture-based commands for a group communication session on a wireless communications device

摘要

A method of participating in a given group communication session at a user equipment (UE), comprising exchanging media between the UE and at least one other UE participating in the given group communication session; monitoring, during the given group communication session, one or more sensors of the UE in order to detect whether the user of the UE has made at least one of a plurality of pre-defmed gestures wherein each gesture is mapped to a gesture-based command to be executed in association with the given group communication session; detecting, based on the monitoring step, that the user of the UE has made a given pre-defined gesture, wherein the given pre-defined gesture is mapped to a given gesture-based command associated with transitioning a floor-holder status of the UE; and executing the given gesture-based command by transmitting, to an application server that is arbitrating the given group communication session between the UE and the at least one other UE, a request to facilitate a transition of the floor-holder status of the UE.
