Mobile emotional notification application

A method of informing a party associated with a data object that said data object has been activated by a user of a mobile terminal in which said data object is currently being stored, comprising the steps of:

• associating a data object with a transmitting mobile terminal of a party associated with said associated data object, whereby said associated data object comprises association data identifying at least said transmitting mobile terminal, wherein said transmitting mobile terminal has a wireless link with a wireless communication network;
• transmitting, by said transmitting mobile terminal, said associated data object via the wireless communication network to a storing mobile terminal;
• receiving, by said storing mobile terminal, said associated data object and storing said associated data object in a memory of said storing mobile terminal, said associated data object being capable of activation by a user of said storing mobile terminal;
• whenever a user of said storing mobile terminal activates said associated data object, transmitting a notifying message via the wireless communication network to the transmitting mobile terminal of the associated party;
• and
• when the transmitting mobile terminal receives said notifying message, presenting a tactile signal to the associated party, wherein said tactile signal uniquely identifies at least one of the following:
• the associated data object, the storing mobile terminal, and/or the user of the storing mobile terminal;
• wherein said tactile signal thereby informs the associated party at least one of the following:
• the associated data object has been activated on a mobile terminal, the associated data object has been activated on the storing mobile terminal, and/or the associated data object has been activated by the user of the storing mobile terminal.

A method of informing a party associated with an electronic representation that said electronic representation has been activated by a user of a mobile terminal in which said electronic representation is currently being stored, comprising the steps of:

• associating an electronic representation with an associated mobile terminal of an associated party, whereby said associated data object comprises association data identifying at least said associated mobile terminal, wherein said associated mobile terminal has a wireless link with a wireless communication network;
• transmitting said associated data object from the associated mobile terminal to a storing mobile terminal;
• storing said associated data object in a memory on said storing mobile terminal, said associated data object being capable of activation by a user of said storing mobile terminal;
• whenever a user of said storing mobile terminal activates said associated data object, transmitting a notifying message via the wireless communication network to the associated mobile terminal of the associated party;
• and
• when the associated mobile terminal receives said notifying message, presenting a tactile signal to the associated party, wherein said tactile signal uniquely identifies at least one of the following:
• the associated data object, the storing mobile terminal, and/or the user of the storing mobile terminal;
• wherein said tactile signal thereby informs the associated party at least one of the following:
• the associated data object has been activated on a mobile terminal, the associated data object has been activated on the storing mobile terminal, and/or the associated data object has been activated by the user of the storing mobile terminal.

A telecommunication system comprising:

• an associated mobile terminal of an associated party, capable of associating itself with a data object, whereby said associated data object comprises association data identifying at least said associated mobile terminal, and capable of transmitting said associated data object, wherein said associated mobile terminal has a communication link with the telecommunication network;
• and
• a storing mobile terminal capable of storing said associated data object in a memory, said associated data object being capable of activation by a user of said storing mobile terminal;
• wherein, whenever the user of said storing mobile terminal activates said associated data object, a notifying message is transmitted via the telecommunication network to the associated mobile terminal of the associated party;
• and
• wherein, when the associated mobile terminal receives said notifying message, an auditory, visual, and/or tactile signal is presented to the associated party thereby informing the associated party that the associated data object stored on the storing mobile terminal has been activated by the user of said storing mobile terminal.

A mobile terminal comprising:

• a network transceiver for receiving from, and transmitting to, a mobile network;
• a central processing unit capable of associating the mobile terminal with a data object, whereby said associated data object comprises association data identifying at least said associated mobile terminal, wherein said associated data object is capable of being transmitted to another mobile terminal;
• data storage capable of storing an associated data object;
• and
• input capable of activating an associated data object;
• wherein, whenever a user of the mobile terminal activates an associated data object, a notifying message is transmitted to the mobile terminal associated with said associated data object;
• and
• wherein, when the mobile terminal receives a notifying message, an auditory, visual, and/or tactile signal is presented to the user thereby informing the user that an associated data object stored on another mobile terminal has been activated by the user of said other mobile terminal.
