Abstract
A system comprises a content originator, a content sharing device, and a content receiver. The content originator (e.g., one or more of a personal computer, a mobile telephone, a PDA, or other computing device) allows a user to generate content using a plurality of content components stored locally. A content definition, describing characteristics of the plurality of content components and manipulations used to transform the plurality of content components to the content to be shared, is generated and is sent to the content sharing device. The content sharing device (e.g., a server operated by a commercial service provider or a mobile telephone service provider) stores a plurality of content definitions that can be accessed by the content receiver. The content receiver (e.g., one or more of a personal computer, a mobile telephone, a PDA, or other computing device) can download the content definition and recreate the content.
