Management of media content associated with time-sensitive offers on mobile computing devices
A method may include receiving indication of initiation of a call from a sender to a recipient, determining an amount of time left in an offer from the sender to the recipient, generating a sender-controlled media (SCM) data structure by adapting a portion of the SCM data structure based on the amount of time left, and configuring caller ID for the call with a link to the generated SCM data structure. In another aspect, a method may include configuring visual caller ID for calls initiated by a user including a temporary item of visual content, and, upon receiving an indication of an initiation of a call, providing the temporary (and/or a permanent) item of visual content as visual caller ID based on a relationship between a current time and a time-limited use parameter of the temporary item of visual content.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a computing system having one or more processors, an indication of an initiation of a call from a sender to a recipient;
determining, at the computing system, an amount of time left in a time limited offer from the sender to the recipient;
generating, at the computing system, an SCM data structure by adapting a portion of the SCM data structure based on the amount of time left; and
configuring, at the computing system, caller ID for the call with a link to the generated SCM data structure.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCM data structure indicates an image for presentation on an electronic display of a call-receiving device upon receipt of the call.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the image is an image captured by a camera function of a call-initiating device captured contemporaneously with the initiation of the call.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCM data structure indicates a video for presentation on an electronic display of a call-receiving device upon receipt of the call.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCM data structure indicates a multi-media object for presentation on an electronic display of a call-receiving device upon receipt of the call.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCM data structure comprises a profile of the sender.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCM data structure comprises promotional content.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the linked SCM data structure comprises at least one of an image and a video captured contemporaneously with initiation of the call.
9. A computing system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication of an initiation of a call from a sender to a recipient;
determining an amount of time left in a time limited offer from the sender to the recipient;
generating an SCM data structure by adapting a portion of the SCM data structure based on the amount of time left; and
configuring caller ID for the call with a link to the generated SCM data structure.
10. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein the SCM data structure indicates an image for presentation on an electronic display of a call-receiving device upon receipt of the call.
11. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the image is an image captured by a camera function of a call-initiating device captured contemporaneously with the initiation of the call.
12. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein the SCM data structure indicates a video for presentation on an electronic display of a call-receiving device upon receipt of the call.
13. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein the SCM data structure indicates a multi-media object for presentation on an electronic display of a call-receiving device upon receipt of the call.
14. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein the SCM data structure comprises a profile of the sender.
15. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein the SCM data structure comprises promotional content.
16. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein the linked SCM data structure comprises at least one of an image and a video captured contemporaneously with initiation of the call.
