Mobile terminals, methods and computer program products incorporating podcast link activation control
View Patent ↗A mobile terminal includes a processor operatively associated with a radio communications circuit and configured to store a podcast including an embedded link to content outside of the mobile terminal. The processor is further configured to control activation of the embedded link responsive to a communications status of the mobile terminal and/or a configuration of a user interface of the mobile terminal. For example, the communications status may include availability of communications between the mobile terminal and a storage location of the content, or presence of a particular call and/or a message. The user interface configuration may include, for example, a current display mode or physical arrangement of the terminal.
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a radio communications interface circuit; and a processor operatively associated with the radio communications circuit and configured to store a podcast including an embedded link to content outside of the mobile terminal and to control activation of the embedded link responsive to a communications status of the mobile terminal and/or a configuration of a user interface of the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal further comprises a display having a plurality of display modes, and wherein the processor is configured to control activation of the embedded link responsive to a current display mode of the mobile terminal.
2. A method comprising:
storing a podcast in a mobile terminal, the podcast including an embedded link to content stored outside of the mobile terminal; and controlling activation of the embedded link responsive to a configuration of a user interface of the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal has a plurality of display modes, and wherein controlling activation of the embedded link responsive to a configuration of a user interface of the mobile terminal comprises controlling activation of the embedded link responsive to a current display mode of the mobile terminal.
