Configuring output on a communication device

Abstract

In one general sense, display of content communicated by a sender communication device to a destination communication device may be enabled by receiving, at a destination communication device, content to be displayed by the destination communication device. Characteristics of a display of the received content by the destination communication device may be algorithmically identified in accordance with display configuration settings for the destination communication device. Based on the identified characteristics, at least one change to be made to capture configuration settings at a capturing communication device used to capture the received content may be identified. At least one alternative capture configuration setting may be communicated to the capturing communication device. Content that is captured by the capturing communication device is received at the destination communications device based on the alternative capture configuration setting communicated.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of enabling display of content communicated by a sender communication device to a destination communication device, the method comprising:
 receiving, at a destination communication device, content to be displayed by the destination communication device;   algorithmically identifying characteristics of a display of the received content by the destination communication device in accordance with display configuration settings for the destination communication device;   identifying, based on the identified characteristics, at least one change to be made to capture configuration settings at a capturing communication device used to capture the received content;   communicating at least one alternative capture configuration setting to the capturing communication device; and   receiving, at the destination device, content that is captured by the capturing communication device based on the alternative capture configuration setting communicated.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the change to be made includes identifying a change to be made to sound parameters associated with input from a microphone at the capturing communication device, and wherein the alternative capture configuration setting includes an indication of the sound parameters associated with the microphone of the capturing communication device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the change to be made to the sound parameters includes identifying a change to be made to input volume at a microphone at the capturing communication device, and wherein the alternative capture configuration setting includes an indication of the input volume of the microphone of the capturing communication device. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the change to be made includes identifying a change to be made to a camera setting for at least one of brightness, color or contrast at the capturing communication device, and wherein the alternative capture configuration setting includes an indication of the setting for at least one of brightness, color or contrast at the camera of the capturing communication device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the change to be made includes identifying a change to be made to a camera setting for resolution at the capturing communication device, and wherein the alternative capture configuration setting includes an indication of the setting for resolution at the camera of the capturing communication device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the change to be made includes identifying a change to be made to a camera angle at the capturing communication device, and wherein the alternative capture configuration setting includes an indication of the setting for camera angle of the capturing communication device. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the change to be made includes identifying a change to be made to a camera zoom at the capturing communication device, and wherein the alternative capture configuration setting includes an indication of the setting for camera zoom of the capturing communication device. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the characteristics are determined by the destination communication device. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the alternative capture configuration setting comprises:
 analyzing the identified display configuration settings and information related to the received content; and   determining at least one change to be made to the capture configuration settings based on analysis results.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 displaying, at the destination communication device, information reflecting a non-optimal condition in the capture configuration settings of the capture communication device.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 displaying a selectable option that enables, based on user selection of the option, reconfiguring of the capture configuration settings with at least one alternative capture configuration setting.   
     
     
         12 . A method of enabling display of content communicated by a sender communication device to a destination communication device, the method comprising:
 receiving, at a destination communication device, content to be displayed by the destination communication device;   identifying display configuration settings that control the display of content by the destination communication device;   identifying, algorithmically or through inspection of information provided with the received content, at least one alternative display configuration setting to be used by the destination communication device in displaying the received content;   reconfiguring the display configuration settings for displaying the received content based on the identified alternative display configuration setting.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein identifying the alternative display configuration setting includes identifying image attributes to be used by the destination communication device when displaying the received content. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein identifying image attributes comprises identifying a picture brightness, color or contrast to be used by the destination communication device when displaying the received content. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein identifying image attributes comprises identifying a picture display size to be used by the destination communication device when displaying the received content. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein identifying image attributes comprises identifying a picture resolution to be used by the destination communication device when displaying the received content. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein identifying image attributes comprises identifying a picture size to be used by the destination communication device when displaying the received content.
