Abstract

A system and method for transmitting a plurality of media frames between mobile devices is described. The media frames comprise video data, photo data, textual data, graphical data and/or audio data.

Claims

1. A method of displaying a message comprising a plurality of frames on a mobile device, comprising:

displaying, on a screen of the mobile device, a first frame of the message;

initiating a timer within the mobile device for the first frame;

reaching, by the timer, a predetermined threshold;

saving the first frame on the mobile device; and

deleting all frames in the message except for the first frame.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the message further comprises audio data and the method further comprises playing the audio data.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the message from a server.

6. A method of displaying a message comprising a plurality of frames on a mobile device, comprising:

displaying, on a screen of the mobile device, one of the plurality of frames;

initiating a timer within the mobile device;

reaching, by the timer, a predetermined threshold;

deleting all frames of the message except for the one of the plurality of frames;

wherein each frame of the message comprises one or more of video data and photo data.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the message further comprises audio data and the method further comprises playing the audio data.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

10. The method of claim 6, further comprising receiving the message from a server.

11. A mobile device for displaying a message comprising a plurality of frames, the mobile device containing instructions to perform the following steps:

displaying, on a screen of the mobile device, a first frame of the message;

initiating a timer within the mobile device for the first frame;

reaching, by the timer, a predetermined threshold;

saving the first frame on the mobile device; and

deleting all frames in the message except for the first frame.

12. The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the message further comprises audio data and the method further comprises playing the audio data.

13. The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

14. The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

15. The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the mobile device is coupled to a server over a network to receive the message.

16. A mobile device for displaying a message comprising a plurality of frames, the mobile device containing instructions to perform the following steps:

displaying, on a screen of the mobile device, one of the plurality of frames;

initiating a timer within the mobile device;

reaching, by the timer, a predetermined threshold;

deleting all frames of the message except for the one of the plurality of frames;

wherein each frame of the message comprises one or more of video data and photo data.

17. The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the message further comprises audio data and the method further comprises playing the audio data.

18. The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

19. The mobile device of claim 17, wherein the message further comprises textual data and the method further comprises displaying the textual data.

20. The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the mobile device is coupled to a server over a network to receive the message.
