Description

Title: A method of transmitting data, voice or multimedia messages from one wireless computing device to another wireless computing device using GPRS/Wi Fi

Field of invention

This invention relates to technique of sending data, voice or multimedia messages from one wireless computing device to another wireless computing device

Brief Description of Related Developments

This invention revolutionizes the way mobile data

communication takes place. A java based mobile phone

application; it enhances the process of sending MMS messages like never before. Up till now, mobile phone users were limited to their service providers' limited server storage capacities when they sent or received MMS messages. Now, with the help of this invention, MMS message is uploaded on a personalized web server that's independent of the service or content provider, allowing you to upload file on any size and storing them on the server for as long as you desire. All of this for only a fraction of the cost of GPRS, what a mobile service provider would charge.

This opens up a vast vista of possibilities for not just regular users, but even for corporate and government organizations. While regular users can use it to communicate to their dear ones, the invention holds greater advantages for corporate because added layer of security to prevent data misuse and hacking. Corporates can have multiple servers and assign them to various staff members according to their rank and priority. By doing so, using this invention they can send specific top-priority proprietary information to only those set of employees who need it. This has the following applications:

• Accessing a restricted area which allows access only through a authorized user and MMS

• Banks can use it for high security access points

• Schools can use it for authorized students/personnel access areas • Government/Army/ Aircraft can use it to meet specific goal- oriented needs

• Auto industry can initiate a voice and video start capability in cars The invention's ability to transfer large videos becomes advantageous to call centers and support cells. Since videos are more instructional to people, the call centre employees can upload a video on their personalized server and use this invention to send it to their clients via GPRS. This can serve as an additional support for customer convenience and will also help those with a hearing disability.

Features of the Invention

The invention provides users with the following revolutionary features:

Personalized server with enhanced security • Audio and video recognition and authentication

• Scheduled MMS Capabilities: Corporates and Advertisers can send specific messages at appropriate timings

• Personal Greetings: These can be customized, personalized,

scheduled and even rescheduled accordingly

• Higher transfer rate as compare to existing technology

• Live video streaming capabilities: This can prove advantageous to medical professionals and police units handling both, routine tasks and in extreme situations. This feature of the invention could also usher in a new wave of citizen journalism.

• Served database comparison: Using this feature, data uploaded by an organization can be frequently compared against users' online behavior patterns for relevancy and validation. This helps the organization to create and schedule the sending of relevant ads using this invention.

• Minimal charges as compared to those of service providers.

Brief Description of the Drawings

In the following, the invention will be described with reference to the appended figure in which Detailed Description of the Invention:

The system model consists of following main parts:

Mobile Application that will record the voice and saved in the same and can be send using

a) GPRS system and also through Fig No.1 User is generally a user who requests to use application(s). In our system, the users need to authenticate themselves by using the user information securely stored in a Snip DB before accessing the application(s). In addition, the single sign-on is required in this process so that the user can access several applications without necessity to be authenticated by each system

individually. Web Server is responsible for accepting HTTP requests from clients and giving responses along with the data contents, which usually are executable jar. In our system environment, web sessions are secured by SSL. Snip Application Integration System (SAIS) is the core part of the proposed model. At the SAIS server, the key pair and certificate are installed to further use for securing and

authenticating the communication process among WS (web services). Since MAIS is the core trusted entity, all active WS trust all information signed by the MAIS key. Application Server is a server provisioning application service(s). There will be several types of API/WS (web services):

User WS (UWS) is responsible for validating user information, verifying user requests, and delegating corresponding

application(s) to the user. Each UWS will be dead after a complete logout, or after certain idle period, which is the SSO session timeout value.

Application WS (AWS) is mapped to a particular application and functions as the representative of an application in serving requests from UWSs. Its job is to schedule the sequence of users connecting to applications, to support the voice recording application, and to send it to sever

• State Maintaining WS (SMWS) is saving and maintaining the latest state of the user. Whenever user login his last saved state will be displayed or if user visiting/dialing the for first time, the default state will be shown

• Event Log / Log WS - To verify the authentication process and current status of application to which the users connect, the administrator can check all activities from the event log /Log. Event Log / Log WS will generate the logs to maintain the records of all the activities done on Snip by, user as well as activities done on administrator level

In the process, there will be two major phases: Setup and Runtime. Only when a user signs in to the system, the Setup phase is done for user authentication and UI preparation. Upon the receipt of an application access request from the user, the Runtime phase starts for access verification and application delegation. The processes are described as follow: Setup Phase:

[Stepl] User Authentication: User will use the IMEI or user id & password to authenticate himself/herself via SSL to the Web Server. [Step 2] Snip UI Construction: After the successful user authentication, Web Server requests the Snip module to generate a UI. The UI will be mapped to the user for managing all of its application requests. Logically, the Snip module, a trusted core component, will generate the UI whenever the user has

successfully authenticated to the system. On this ground, this newly-created UI is automatically trusted.

[Step 3] User Certificate Validation: The UI looks up the WS (web services), verifies the authenticity of the client certificate, and checks its validity against a pre-defined policy (e.g. CRL status, specific content rules, application settings, last user state) [Step 4] Application Delegation: Once the WS recognizes an application access request (application and action) from the user information, it will verify such a request against the user capability list (and maybe some additional policies). If the user is authorized, the WS will then make a request to an appropriate Application and Action in the scheme detailed in Step 5 to start the new session.

[Step 5] UA (User Action) Message Delivery: The message that WS sends to the AA(Application Action) includes <Mobile No, or IMEI , session id, app id, role, timestamp> where

- user_id is the id of user asking for the request

- session id is the id of communication session of the request (this could be randomly generated at the beginning of the session)

app_id is the id of Application which is requested by the user

- role is the function that the user presents himself/herself to the application, used together with user id to obtain proper authorization.

[Step 6] UA Message Verification: Upon receipt of a message, AA will acknowledged the UA and verify the trustworthiness of the message by verifying the digital signature signed by SAS in the previous step.

[Step 7] Multi-Application Control: After the process in Step 6 is done, Snip functions will then be responsible for controlling the use of multi-application requests by several users (UAs). It manages the application access queue. As a consequence, all processes above achieve the multi-user and multi-application authentication purpose with Snip functions.

Framework Administration Overview

Administrator will configure the applications, user roles, message codes, manage content and user logs. The following use case diagram describes the different activities of the administrator:
