Abstract

With the growing number of, both personal and shared, devices that may be connected to the Internet, the number of possible media sources that may provide input for a message increases, as does the complexity of message preparation. Additionally, with the introduction of shared devices, such as televisions, as media sources for messages, both authentication and security issues are of fundamental importance. Aspects the present invention are related to systems and methods for combining media inputs at an external, central server for messaging.
