Method and system for the wireless delivery of images
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting an image comprising the steps of:
- receiving image data in a first file format at a first server;
converting said image data to a plurality of image files in a second file format, each one of said plurality of image files limited to a specified file size;
transferring said plurality of image files to a second server over a first path; and
sending said plurality of image files from said second server to an end-use-device over a second path, said end-use-device not capable of receiving files over said first path, said end-use-device limited to receiving files of a size less than or equal to said specified size.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for sending graphical images through networks to an end-use-device. Image data along with image details is sent from a user computer to an end-use-device designated by recipient end-use-device data. The present invention comprises a user computer operated by a user, a first server, a second server and an end-use-device operated by an end-use-device user. The first server comprises a first server front end which provides an interface via a wireline network between the user computer and the first server. One function of the second server is to provide an interface between a wireless network and the second server. The invention also provides software in the end-use-device for converting data received over the wireless network to a format usable by the end-use-device.
