  • Patent number: 7958270
    Abstract: Techniques for seamless distribution of files stored in folders, in an Internet-enabled mobile device to one or more recipients including replicating and mapping a folder structure of the mobile device and the folder structure of the remote server, transferring files between the mobile device and the remote server using an Internet connection, and seamlessly distributing the files on the remote server to file recipients. Pre-selected email addresses can be associated with each folder, so that the files are automatically distributed to the pre-selected email addresses. Preferably, the user can configure folders using a Web user interface on a computer and transfer files in multiple folders on the mobile device to the pre-selected email addresses automatically after a trigger event.

  • Publication number: 20080057902
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to conveniently distribute customized, caller-identifying ring tone files to specified recipients. The disclosed method includes the steps of mapping folders between a client device and a server machine, associating specified recipients with each folder, uploading the ring tone files from the client device to the server machine, sending invitations to the specified file recipients to accept the ring tone files, and downloading the ring tone files to mobile phones of the specified recipients. The ring tone files may be created on the client device by the sender. The disclosure also describes automatic methods for distributing the ring tone files based on a trigger event, which may be, a one-step menu selection or a pre-determined time. The downloading of a sender's new ring tone file to the mobile phone of the recipient may automatically override an earlier file.
