Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method and a system for safely transmitting a document from a first network to a second network, while obviating the risk of transferring malware contained within the document to the second network. Embodiments of the invention involve separating binary data elements from text based data elements in a document, preferably a document in digital form. The binary data is then converted into analog media using an analog convertor, and then received by an analog receiver associated with the second network. Text-based data elements may remain in digital form, be cleaned of scripts, and are transferred to the second network in digital form. The document may be reconstructed using a computing device of the second network by combining data received via the analog receiver and the digital data comprising text-based data.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a crowd-sourcing invention development system (CIDS) and methods associated with the system to aid inventors, at no cost or at minimal cost, to develop their ideas and to file patent applications based on their ideas. According to embodiments of the invention, CIDS facilitates investment in an inventor's invention by exposing potential investors to inventions at preliminary stages of invention development, allowing investors to fund activities such as searching and patent application drafting and filing. Investors may continue to invest after patent application drafting. According to an embodiment of the invention, CIDS users may assist invention development or prior art searching by submitting relevant information via the CIDS website. A submitter may be rewarded by being granted rights or credits to be exchanged for rights in an invention submitted to the CIDS website.
