Method and apparatus for enabling multimedia synchronization
Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for synchronizing a media presentation on a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). A media session may be synchronized by a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) creating a networked bookmark for a media program at a bookmark-created time; the first WTRU presenting the media program at a bookmark-presentation time, wherein the first WTRU includes in the networked bookmark a suggested presentation offset that indicates an offset in time from the bookmark-created time to the bookmark-presentation time; and the first WTRU transmitting the networked bookmark, including the suggested presentation offset, to an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network for use by a second WTRU in replicating, at the second WTRU, the presentation of the media program at the first WTRU.
