Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for selecting and initiating playing of audio conversations on mobile computing devices. For example, a method comprises determining a first user accesses a mobile application on a mobile device associated with the first user; selecting an audio conversation for the first user, wherein the audio conversation involves at least a second user, wherein the audio conversation is selected for the first user based on at least one of first user information associated with the first user, second user information associated with the second user, or conversation information associated with the audio conversation; and initiating playing of the audio conversation on the mobile application on the mobile device.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a speaker pool. A method includes receiving electronic consent from a plurality of speakers over an interface with a third party for the speakers to join a speaker pool. A method includes receiving criteria for selecting one or more speakers from a speaker pool from a third party via a hook in an interface. A method includes electronically displaying a selected one or more speakers from a speaker pool to a visitor of a third party using a hook in an interface based on received criteria.

A method capable of enhancing a user's acceptance of a received message, a message application program for performing the method, and a user terminal performing the method. The method of exposing received messages is a method performed by a message application program running on a user terminal. The method comprises receiving a message, and displaying the message if the current state of the user terminal satisfies a condition included in an exposure rule. After the message application program receives the message, the message application program displays the message only when the current state of the terminal satisfies the condition included in the exposure rule, thereby increasing the acceptance of the message.

An audio device is provided which distributes via the Internet a telephone talk between a distributer and a viewer, with a simple structure. An audio interface device can be connected to a PC, and distributes via the Internet a sound signal which is input from a microphone along with a BGM by outputting the sound signal to the PC. When a call is made with a caller, the audio interface device branches the sound signal which is input from the microphone into a first sound signal and a second sound signal, and supplies the second sound signal to the caller. Also, the first sound signal, the sound signal from the caller, and the BGM are synthesized and output to the PC, and the telephone talk is distributed via the Internet.

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for generating and handling a waitlist during an audio conversation on a mobile application. For example, a method comprises: receiving a request from a first user, listening to a first audio conversation involving a second user and a third user, to join a waitlist associated with the second user or the first audio conversation; adding the first user to the waitlist associated with the second user or the first audio conversation; enabling the second user to view the waitlist; and initiating a second audio conversation between the second user and a user on the waitlist upon termination of the first audio conversation.

A method capable of enhancing a user's acceptance of a received message, a message application program for performing the method, and a user terminal performing the method. The method of exposing received messages is a method performed by a message application program running on a user terminal. The method comprises receiving a message, and displaying the message if the current state of the user terminal satisfies a condition included in an exposure rule. After the message application program receives the message, the message application program displays the message only when the current state of the terminal satisfies the condition included in the exposure rule, thereby increasing the acceptance of the message.

Concepts and technologies for selective presentation of augmented reality (AR) objects are described. An AR system can retrieve a live video image, receive a first message, present the first message on an AR display, and determine, from the live video image, a first anchor over which a first object that is representative of the first message is to be presented. The AR system can then present, over the first anchor, the first object. The AR system can receive a subsequent message, and can determine, from the live video image, a second anchor over which a second object that is representative of the subsequent message is to be presented. The AR system can receive a notification, and, in response, can determine to forgo presentation, over the second anchor, of the second object. Instead, the AR system can present, over the second anchor, a third object that is representative of the notification.

A communication system comprises a transmitter and a group of recipients. The transmitter is configured to transmit a message and/or a command to the group of recipients. The system is configured to analyze sensor data assigned to each recipient of the group of recipients. The system is further configured to automatically select one recipient of the group of recipients based on the sensor data analyzed. The selected recipient is configured to automatically respond to the transmitted message and/or command. The system is further configured to automatically rank all recipients of the group. Moreover, other communication systems are described.

A generator generates a first combination including identification information associating area information indicating an area where data should be received and a timing when the area information should be transmitted, and the area information and that generates a second combination including the identification information in the first combination and data. A transmitter transmits one of the first combination and the second combination generated by the generator. The generator generates the second combination at a further timing subsequent to the timing associated with the identification information in the first combination. The transmitter transmits the first combination at the timing associated with the identification information in the first combination and transmits the second combination at the further timing.

A method for passing content to at least one communicator device. The user of a communicator device registers with at least one service provider for delivering a plurality of different types of content to be passed to the at least one communicator device. A user defined priority is assigned to the at least one type of content. The user defined priority is stored on a computer readable medium. The different types of content are passed to the at least one communicator device based on the user defined priority.
