Abstract

Providing a mobile personal computer to send multimedia content in a multimedia document via a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message over a wireless network is disclosed. Multimedia content compatible for sending via the MMS is sent with assembling information to reassemble the multimedia document with the multimedia content.

Claims

1. A mobile personal computer comprising:

a display device responsive to multi-touch inputs;

a processor, in communication with the display device, configured to send a selected subset of multimedia contents in a multimedia document from a mobile computer application in connection with a command to send via a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message to a another computer over a wireless network, wherein each selected multimedia content in the multimedia document that is compatible for sending via the MMS message has a displayed icon on the display device such that compatible multimedia content is selected for sending; and

the MMS message is sent with assembling information to reassemble the multimedia document with the selected subset of multimedia contents.

2. The mobile personal computer of claim 1, wherein the mobile personal computer is a mobile phone.

3. A method performed by a mobile personal computer, the method comprising:

sending, by a processor in communication with a display device responsive to multi-touch inputs in the mobile personal computer, a selected subset of multimedia contents in a multimedia document from a mobile computer application in connection with a command to send via a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message to another computer over a wireless network, wherein each selected multimedia content in the multimedia document that is compatible for sending via the MMS message has a displayed icon on the display device such that compatible multimedia content is selected for sending; and

sending the MMS message with assembling information to reassemble the multimedia document with the selected subset of multimedia contents.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the mobile personal computer is a mobile phone.
