Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates data transmission related to a mobile device utilizing a sharing profile. An interface component can receive a portion of data associated with a mobile device. A distribution component can transmit the portion of data to an entity based at least in part upon a sharing profile that defines the entity and a respective transmission mode.

Claims

1. A system that facilitates data transmission related to a mobile device, comprising:

an interface component that receives a portion of data associated with a mobile device; and

a distribution component that transmits the portion of data from the mobile device to a target entity based at least in part upon an active sharing profile that defines the target entity and a respective transmission mode.

2. The system of claim 1, the target entity is at least one of a user, a machine, a device, a portable device, a recipient, a web server, an online community, a peer-to-peer network, a network, an online environment, a website, an email server, a laptop, a personal computer, a cellular phone, a mobile communications device, a cellular device, a portable digital assistant (PDA), a hand-held, a smartphone, a portable media device, a gaming device, a blog, an online forum, a data store, a display device, a television, a plasma display, a liquid crystal display (LCD), or a monitor.

3. The system of claim 1, the transmission mode is at least one of an email, a multi-media service (MMS), a portion of video, a text message, a portion of audio, an image, a Bluetooth technique, a wireless mode, a near field communication (NFC), a Wi-Fi mode, Infra Red, a posting to an online environment, a publication to the Internet, an instant message, a voicemail, an instant messaging session, or a post to a website.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a settings component that populates and enforces a characteristic with the active sharing profile, the characteristic is defined by a portion of profile data provided by a user.

5. The system of claim 4, the characteristic is at least one of a time delay for transmission to the target entity or an automatic transmission on a schedule.

6. The system of claim 4, the characteristic is a portion of entity data, the entity data is at least one of a priority ranking related to a target entity, an address related to a target entity, a device associated with the target entity, a name related to the target entity, a location associated with the target entity, or a preference related to the target entity.

7. The system of claim 4, the characteristic is a notification to at least one of the target entity or the distribution component.

8. The system of claim 7, the notification indicates at least one of a receipt of data, a completion of transmission, a read receipt, a publication notification, an error notification, or a data communication related to a status of the data transmission.

9. The system of claim 4, the characteristic is at least one of a transmission setting, a maximum data transmission limit, a minimum data transmission limit, a time stamp, a transmission size, or a date.

10. The system of claim 4, the characteristic relates to at least one of a publication configuration, a website location, an entity address, a format for the data transmitted, a layout for the data transmitted, a data resolution for the data transmitted, a data size, a security for the data transmitted, an online status such as online versus offline, a size of content, a personalization of information or a frequency of sharing data.

11. The system of claim 4, the characteristic enables a proximity sharing technique that distributes according to at least one target entity within a particular geographic distance, the distribution occurs with a wireless transmission if within the particular geographic distance.

12. The system of claim 1, further comprising a manager component that manages at least one sharing profile related to the mobile device.

13. The system of claim 12, the manager component employs at least one of an active sharing profile mode, or a passive sharing profile mode.

14. The system of claim 1, the active sharing profile is initiated by a dedicated hardware soft key.

15. The system of claim 1, the mobile device includes a plurality of sharing profiles defined by a user, the active sharing profile is initiated by the user to transmit data.

16. A computer-implemented method that facilitates communicating data associated with a mobile device, comprising:

creating a sharing profile on a mobile device; and

distributing data from the mobile device according to a target entity and a transmission mode defined in the sharing profile.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

identifying data with the mobile device;

capturing data with the mobile device;

collecting data with the mobile device;

selecting the sharing profile with the mobile device; and

transmitting data based upon the sharing profile mode.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

transmitting data to at least one target entity based on a geographic proximity; and

employing a time delay to the data transmission.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

populating the sharing profile with a portion of profile data;

activating the sharing profile;

automatically uploading identified data; and

automatically transmitting data based upon such identification.

20. A computer-implemented system that facilitates data transmission related to a mobile device, comprising:

means for receiving a portion of data associated with a mobile device;

means for creating a sharing profile that defined a target entity and a transmission mode;

means for activated a sharing profile on a mobile device; and

means for transmitting the portion of data to the target entity via the transmission mode based at least in part upon the activated sharing profile.
