Wireless transfer of at least one digital image file between a first device and a second device
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting at least one digital image file between a first device and at least one second device, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing the first and second devices with limited range wireless transceivers;
b) a user operating the first device selecting at least one electronic address designating said at least one second device;
c) said first device broadcasting at least one digital image file and the at least one selected electronic address until received and stored by one or more third non-designated devices having limited range wireless transceivers;
d) said one or more third non-designated devices comparing the received at least one selected electronic address to a stored electronic address belonging to said third non-designated device and automatically re-broadcasting the at least one digital image file if the received at least one selected electronic address does not match the stored electronic address of said at least one third non-designated device; and
e) said at least one second device receiving and storing said at least one digital image file from the third non-designated devices.

Abstract
A method for transmitting at least one digital image file between first and second devices, the first and second devices having limited range wireless transceivers; a user operating the first device selecting at least one electronic address designating said at least one second device; and said first device broadcasting at least one digital image file and the at least one selected electronic address until received and stored by one or more third non-designated devices. The method compares the received at least one selected electronic address to a stored electronic address belonging to said third non-designated device and automatically re-broadcasting the at least one digital image file if the received at least one selected electronic address does not match the stored electronic address of said at least one third non-designated device; and said at least one second device receiving and storing said at least one digital image file.

10. A method for transmitting at least one digital image file between a first device and at least one second device, comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing the first and second devices with limited range wireless transceivers;
b) a user operating the first device having an electronic address and selecting at least one electronic address designating said at least one second device;
c) said first device broadcasting at least one digital image file, the electronic address of said first device, and the at least one selected electronic address until received and stored by one or more third non-designated devices having limited range wireless transceivers;
d) said one or more third non-designated devices comparing the received at least one selected electronic address to a stored electronic address belonging to said third non-designated device and automatically re-broadcasting the at least one digital image file if the received at least one selected electronic address does not match the stored electronic address of said at least one third non-designated device; and
e) said at least one second device selectively receiving and storing said at least one digital image file from the third non-designated devices. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A method for transmitting at least one digital image file between a first device and at least one second devices, comprising the steps of:
-
a) providing both devices with limited range wireless transceivers;
b) a user operating the first device selecting a re-broadcast parameter;
c) said first device broadcasting at least one digital image file and the re-broadcast parameter until received and stored by the at least one second device;
d) said at least one second device decrementing the re-broadcast parameter and automatically re-broadcasting the at least one digital image file and the decremented re-broadcast parameter if the decremented re-broadcast parameter is non-zero; and
e) said at least one second device displaying said at least one stored digital image file. - View Dependent Claims (13)
