Patent number: 8325213Abstract: A method of capturing an image from a video call between a first user and a remote user over a communication network. The method includes receiving video data from the remote user at a client executed at a user terminal of the first user, the video data comprising a sequence of frames; the client capturing a frame of the video data responsive to a command from the first user; the client extracting image data from the frame; the client converting the image data to an image file and embedding a communication identity of the remote user in the image file, wherein the communication identity is suitable for initiating a communication event with the remote user; and storing the image file on a storage means of the user terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: SkypeInventors: Duncan Lamb, Benjamin Dove

Patent number: 8223749Abstract: A method of sorting communication events at a user terminal connected to a communication network and executing a communication client arranged to be operable by a user is provided. The method comprises storing an event list comprising a list of identifiers, each identifier having information relating to at least one previously received communication event associated therewith, wherein the identifier identifies the initiator of the associated at least one previously received communication event and each identifier is listed only once in the list of identifiers. The event list is displayed in a user interface of the communication client. The method further comprises receiving an incoming communication event at the user terminal from an initiating user over the communication network and determining whether the initiating user is present in the list of identifiers stored in the event list.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: SkypeInventors: Duncan Lamb, Torsten Rehberg, Simon Tickner, Priidu Zilmer, Dmytro Izotov, Mike Bartlett, Bettina Sutter
