Abstract
A system for creating, using, and disseminating audio/video clips on a mobile device and in other contexts is disclosed.
Claims38
A method for disseminating a clip over a social network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at said social network, a clip generated using a first computing device, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content;
- associating, at said social network, said clip with said first computing device;
- and
- transmitting said clip to a second computing device via said social network, wherein said social network is configured to transmit said clip to said second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on said second computing device.
2 more elements
A system for disseminating a clip over a social network, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content, the system comprising:
- a server operating said social network, wherein said server is configured to:
- receive a clip generated using a first computing device;
- associate said clip with said first computing device;
- and
- transmit said clip over said social network to a second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on said second computing device.
3 more elements
A method for automatically propagating a clip to a plurality of computing devices, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, said clip generated using a first computing device;
- associating, at said server, said clip with said first computing device;
- transmitting said clip to a second computing device via said server, wherein said server is configured to transmit said clip to said second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- and
- transmitting said clip to a third computing device via said server, wherein said server is configured to transmit said clip to said third computing device using a second SMS or MMS message;
- wherein at least part of said clip is incorporated in a first application running on said second computing device;
- wherein at least part of said clip is incorporated in a second application running on said third computing device;
- and
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on at least one of said second computing device and said third computing device.
6 more elements
A system for automatically propagating a clip, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content, the system comprising:
- a server configured to:
- receive a clip generated using a first computing device;
- associate said clip with said first computing device;
- and
- transmit said clip to a second computing device and a third computing device, wherein said server is configured to transmit said clip to said second computing device and said third computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein at least part of said clip is incorporated in a first application running on said second computing device;
- wherein at least part of said clip is incorporated in a second application running on said third computing device;
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on at least one of said second computing device and said third computing device.
5 more elements
A method for disseminating a clip to a mobile device, the method comprising:
- generating a clip, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content;
- storing said clip on a first computing device;
- and
- transmitting said clip to a second computing device via a server, wherein said server is configured associate said clip with said first computing device, and transmit said clip to said second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein said second computing device is a mobile device;
- wherein said second computing device is configured to play said clip on said second computing device;
- and
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on said second computing device.
5 more elements
A system for disseminating a clip to a mobile device, wherein the clip is less than a full piece of content, the system comprising:
- a first computing device configured to generate and store a clip;
- and
- a second computing device coupled to said first computing device over a social network, wherein said social network is configured to associate said clip with said first computing device, and wherein said first computing device is configured to transmit said clip over said social network to said second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein said second computing device is a mobile device;
- and
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on said second computing device.
3 more elements
A method for disseminating a clip from a mobile device, the method comprising:
- generating a clip, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content;
- storing said clip on a first computing device, wherein said first computing device is a mobile device;
- and
- transmitting said clip to a second computing device over a social network, wherein said social network is configured to associate said clip with said first computing device, and transmit said clip to said second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on said second computing device.
2 more elements
A system for disseminating a clip to a mobile device, wherein said clip is less than a full piece of content, the system comprising:
- a first computing device configured to generate and store a clip, wherein said first computing device is a mobile device;
- and
- a second computing device coupled to said first computing device via a server, wherein said server is configured to associate said clip with said first computing device, and transmit said clip to said second computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said first computing device when said clip is played on said second computing device.
1 more element
A method for disseminating a clip over a social network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first computing device, a clip transmitted via said social network, wherein said social network is configured to associate said clip with a second computing device, and wherein said social network is further configured to transmit said clip to said first computing device using an SMS or MMS message;
- and
- playing said clip on said first computing device, wherein said clip serves as a personal identifier for said second computing device when said clip is played on said first computing device.
