Apparatus and method for multimedia communication

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a media system having a processor, a request from a communication device to distribute content;

accessing, by the media system, media content responsive to the request;

accessing, by the media system, a user profile associated with the communication device responsive to the request, wherein the user profile includes distribution information indicating targeted recipient devices for the media content, a type of distribution associated with the targeted recipient devices, and a recipient format for the media content associated with the targeted recipient devices;

adjusting, by the media system, a format of the media content according to the recipient format to generate adjusted media content;

transmitting, by the media system, the adjusted media content to a first targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the type of distribution associated with the first targeted recipient device; and

providing, by the media system, access to the adjusted media content to a second targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the type of distribution associated with the second targeted recipient device.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising providing, by the media system, access to the media content to a third targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the distribution information associated with the third targeted recipient device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content comprises video content, and wherein the communication device comprises a mobile device.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising transmitting, by the media system, a notification associated with the adjusted media content to the second targeted recipient device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content is stored in an electronic mailbox associated with the communication device.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising overriding the user profile based upon a selection included in the request for another type of distribution.

7. The method of claim 1 , comprising overriding the user profile based upon a selection included in the request for another recipient format.

8. A server, comprising:

a memory storing computer instructions; and

a processor coupled with the memory, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising:

receiving from a communication device a request to distribute content;

accessing a user profile responsive to the request, wherein the user profile includes distribution information indicating targeted recipient devices for media content, a type of distribution associated with the targeted recipient devices, and a recipient format for the media content associated with the targeted recipient devices;

identifying whether there is a conflict between the request and the user profile;

applying conflict priority rules to generate a conflict resolution responsive to the conflict being identified;

accessing the media content responsive to the request;

adjusting a format of the media content according to the conflict resolution and the distribution information to generate adjusted media content;

transmitting the adjusted media content to a first targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the conflict resolution and the distribution information; and

providing access to the adjusted media content to a second targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the conflict resolution and the distribution information.

9. The server of claim 8 , wherein the media content comprises video content, and wherein the communication device comprises a mobile device.

10. The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising transmitting a notification associated with the adjusted media content to the second targeted recipient device.

11. The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising determining the first targeted recipient device according to a time of distribution for the media content.

12. The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising determining the first targeted recipient device according to a type of device.

13. The server of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting of the format of the media content to generate the adjusted media content is according to a type of device of the targeted recipient devices.

14. The server of claim 8 , wherein the request identifies intended recipients and an intended type of distribution for the intended recipients.

15. The server of claim 8 , wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising accessing another user profile associated with one of the first targeted recipient device or the second targeted recipient device, wherein the conflict resolution is generated based in part on the other user profile.

16. The server of claim 15 , wherein the other user profile comprises a preferred format and a preferred type of distribution for the one of the first targeted recipient device or the second targeted recipient device.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving from a communication device a request to distribute media content, wherein the request identifies targeted recipient devices;

identifying a type of device for each of the targeted recipient devices;

determining a type of distribution for each of the targeted recipient devices based on the type of device;

determining a recipient format for each of the targeted recipient devices based on the type of device;

accessing the media content responsive to the request;

adjusting a format of the media content according to the recipient format to generate adjusted media content;

transmitting the adjusted media content to a first targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the type of distribution associated with the first targeted recipient device; and

providing access to the adjusted media content to a second targeted recipient device of the targeted recipient devices according to the type of distribution associated with the second targeted recipient device.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , comprising computer instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising identifying the first targeted recipient device according to a time of distribution for the media content.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the media content comprises video content, and wherein the communication device comprises a mobile device.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , comprising computer instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising transmitting a notification associated with the adjusted media content to the second targeted recipient device.
