Abstract
A system and method are presented to allow audio communication between users concerning an image. The originator of the communication uses a wearable mobile device app to select an image and record an audio commentary. The image, audio commentary, and metadata are submitted to a cloud server for storage. The app uses the server to analyze a recipient address to determine the preferred mode of delivery. If the recipient is a known user of the app, the file is delivered without combining the image, audio commentary, and metadata into a standard movie file. Otherwise, the originator's app delivers the file through MMS or e-mail for the recipient as a movie file for viewing using a standard video player.

A computerized method comprising:
- a) at a wearable mobile device, receiving a remote audio image file from a remote mobile device, the remote audio image file having
- i) a video portion, and
- ii) an audio portion having a remote commentary added to the remote audio image file by the remote mobile device;
- b) presenting the video portion of the remote audio image file through a display screen of the wearable mobile device;
- c) while presenting the video portion, presenting the remote commentary in the audio portion of the remote audio image file over an audio output of the wearable mobile device;
- d) after presenting the remote commentary, recording a new commentary through a microphone input of the wearable device;
- e) creating a new audio image file by adding the new commentary to the remote commentary in the audio portion of the remote audio image file;
- and
- f) transmitting the new audio image file from the wearable mobile device to the remote mobile device.
A computerized method comprising:
- a) at a wearable mobile device, selecting a photographic image;
- b) at the wearable mobile device, recording an audio commentary;
- c) encoding the photographic image and the audio commentary into a video file showing the photographic image along with the audio commentary;
- d) at the wearable mobile device, receiving a selection of a recipient to receive the video file;
- e) at the wearable mobile device, receiving an indication from the remote server that a first contact is a user of a compliant app;
- f) at the wearable mobile device, sending the video file to the first contact via the remote server, wherein the remote server forwards the video file to the compliant app on a first contact mobile device associated with the first contact.
