Abstract

A method and system are provided for remotely deleting data stored on the remote mobile communication device, and within the communication network, by initiating a delete command, or setting data time of existence when creating the data, from a sender mobile communication device.

Claims

1. A method of remotely deleting previously transmitted data from one or more remote devices comprising the steps of:

a. a sender device creating data;

b. a sender sending the data from the sender device, wherein the created data has an unique identifier, wherein the unique identifier is a tag for subsequent location and deletion of the created data;

c. the sender authenticating a destination user or user device, wherein a search is performed to determine one or more properties associated with a valid user;

d. receiving the created data on one or more remote devices, wherein the created data is stored on the one or more remote devices;

e. the one or more remote devices verifying the receipt of the created data, wherein the unique identifier of the created data is verified by the sender device;

f. creating a delete command, wherein the delete command is preloaded with the unique identifier and preloaded with a preset time for deletion of the stored data;

g. sending the delete command over a wireless network to the one or more remote devices, wherein the delete command is sent at the sender'"'"'s discretion, wherein the delete command instructs the one or more remote devices to delete the stored data, wherein the delete command is directed to and received by the one or more remote devices having received the created data, wherein the one or more remote devices identify the stored data to be deleted by the unique identifier, and wherein the stored data is permanently deleted from the one or more remote devices upon receipt of the delete command, and wherein the delete command is selected from a group consisting of manual delete, automatic relative execution time, and automatic relative arrival time; and

h. presetting the time for deletion of the stored data, wherein the time is preset, wherein the preset time is incorporated into the delete command, wherein the time is preset as the automatic relative execution time or the automatic relative arrival time, wherein the step of the sender sending the data further comprising the steps of;

i. facilitating transmission of the data by a data delivery storage over the wireless network from the sender device to the one or more remote devices, wherein the data delivery storage is in communication with the sender device and the one or more remote devices;

ii. parsing the created data by the data delivery storage, wherein the one or more remote devices is identified by a token within the parsed data, wherein the created data is repackaged;

iii. routing the created data by the data delivery storage between the sender device and the one or more remote devices.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of receiving the data further comprises:

authenticating the sender device by comparing a unique properties of the sender device to registered values for the unique properties.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the sender device is a phone, and further wherein the unique properties comprise of a phone number and unique phone attributes.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

comparing the unique properties of the remote user device to registered values for the unique properties.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the one or more remote devices is a phone, and further wherein the unique properties comprise at least a phone number.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of receiving a data executed alert to the sender device.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of sending the delete command, further comprises the steps of:

a. a data delivery storage determining a number of the one or more remote devices that accessed the created data;

b. forwarding the delete command to all of the one or more remote devices that accessed the created data, and wherein the delete command is forwarded based on the location of the unique identifier within the stored data.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of receiving a deletion complete alert on the sender device, wherein the deletion complete alert is sent over the wireless network from the one or more remote devices, wherein the delete complete alert is sent after the stored data has been deleted.
