A Communication Interface

Abstract: A communication interface for allowing interaction between two or more users. The communication interface has a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying content in a multi-layered environment and an interaction engine for facilitating interactions between a user and one or more user contacts. The interaction engine facilitates voice, video and file sharing interactions between the user and one or more user contacts through the GUI, and is arranged to be in an out-of-call mode or in an in-call mode in relation to voice and video interactions of the user. The GUI displays a contact list containing a plurality of user contacts, where one of the plurality of contacts is a selected contact. The GUI displays a dashboard containing a plurality of options for interacting with the selected contact, each option enables the user to interact with the selected contact by voice, video or file sharing and editing interactions. The GUI also displays, on selection of an option relating to file sharing and depending on the selection, a window so the user is able to create a file for sharing, or a secondary dashboard comprising an item representing a file for sharing with the selected contact. The interaction engine shares the file for sharing with the selected contact on receipt of a sharing gesture from the GUI in relation to the window or item, whether or not the interaction engine is in the out-of-call mode or the in-call mode.
