Multiple and Mobile - ICAP Patent Brokerage Announces for Sale a Patent Portfolio for a Multiple Recipient File Sharing System From a Mobile Device
CHICAGO, Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ICAP Patent Brokerage, a division of ICAP plc and the world's largest intellectual property brokerage and patent auction firm, is offering for sale a patent portfolio for a multiple recipient file sharing system from a mobile device from Laurent F. Sidon.
BackgroundConventional services such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) enable file sharing between two mobile devices. However, MMS allows transmission of only one image file at a time to a single recipient. Also, the MMS user interface tends to be inconvenient. Techniques for a convenient mechanism that allows transfer and distribution of multiple files to multiple recipients will be desirable to heavy users of mobile devices - particularly those who share files frequently.
Key Characteristics & BenefitsThis patent portfolio discloses a technique for sharing and distributing files stored in a mobile device to multiple recipients.
-- Files stored in folders on an internet enabled mobile device are
distributed to selected recipients automatically on a single action from
the user.
-- Using this technology, the folder structure as well as the files on the
mobile device can be replicated and mapped onto a remote server, from
where they are distributed to the specified recipients.
-- This technique includes pre-associating any number of e-mail addresses
of recipients to the folders containing files on the mobile device that
are to be shared on the network (e.g., the Internet).
-- File distribution is done automatically based on file updates or other
triggering events.
Market Potential This patented technology will be important to all mobile service providers, particularly as related to:
-- Online file sharing and distribution
-- Online data back-up archiving
