Abstract: Various embodiments enable a video messaging experience which permits the exchange of short video messages in an asynchronous manner. The video messaging experience preserves the video intimacy and experience of synchronous-type video communications, while at the same time provides the convenience of SMS-type message exchange.

Abstract: A user terminal comprising: a network interface; a touchscreen configured to receive a pattern traced by a user; a first camera configured to capture images, wherein the user terminal is configured to transmit said captured images from the first camera to at least one further user terminal via the network interface as part of a video call; a second camera; a memory configured to store information relating to at least one pattern; a detection module configured to detect, using said stored information, one of said at least one pattern traced on an area of the touchscreen of said user terminal; and a control module configured to, in response to the detection by the detection module, switch from the first camera to the second camera so as to capture images using the second camera, the control module causing the said captured images from the second camera to be transmitted via the network interface to said at least one further user device.

Abstract: A method for remotely testing an application on a device is disclosed. The method includes connecting a development system to the device. The device is hosted in a remote environment and is not directly accessible to the development system. The development system connects to the device via an agent that is coupled to the device, wherein the agent is configured to receive application data for the device and control signals from the development system and operate the device according to the control signals. The method further includes fetching the collected device data from the device, wherein the agent is configured to collect the device data from the device and the development system retrieves the collected device data from the agent.
