Background
Conventional 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 & Benefits
This 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
