  • Publication number: 20100317329
    Abstract: A media clip is marked (156) in a wireless terminal (10) and transmitted further (164) to another wireless terminal (10) in which the marked media stream is received (182) and presented (194) according to the marking (156). A wireless network terminal (10) is shown applying the method, and a programmable means (14, 15, 16, 34, 35) usukkystrated in the wireless network terminal (10) to implement the method. A basis for marking (156) is a playhead position (23, 23a, 23b) which indicates progress of a media clip on a display (11) of the wireless terminal (10), and an end moment of the media clip when the media clip was stopped. This information is associated to playhead information which forms the basis for the marking (156) and reassemblying (184) a media data message (41) before sending it and after receiving it over a wireless network (50).
