Abstract: A system to record areas around and within a vehicle, and to provide direct audio-visual and/or textual telephonic contact with a licensed attorney within a predetermined jurisdiction based on a location of a driver, the system including a server to store information related to a plurality of attorneys, a first mobile device having a mobile application running thereon to allow the driver to select the licensed attorney from the plurality of attorneys, a second mobile device having the mobile application running thereon to allow the selected licensed attorney to communicate with the driver in response to the attorney being selected by the driver, and a camera disposed within the vehicle to record the areas around and within the vehicle and to send a video file of the recording to the second mobile device.

Abstract: A real-time communication device with an asymmetric mode is disclosed. During a real-time communication session, a communication application executing on the communication device detects an upstream communication channel having insufficient bandwidth to support real-time communications in an upstream direction. Consequently, the communication application enters into an asymmetric mode. In asymmetric mode, as the communication application continues to receive data over a downstream communication channel, the communication application allows a user to record a media clip, and communicate the media clip to a remote communication device over the upstream communication channel at a transfer rate supported by the available bandwidth of the upstream communication channel.
