114. A method of providing information to one or more members in a group of users, each user having a hand-held device which communicates as a client to a server in a network via a rf link, the hand-held devices each having a volatile storage medium for temporary data storage, a display for viewing information present in the device memory circuit, a device processor and a non-volatile storage medium for data storage for which access to read data from and write data to the device non-volatile storage medium is under the control of the device processor, the server having a processor and a non-volatile server storage medium for which access to read data from and write data to the non-volatile server storage medium is under the control of the server processor, the method comprising:
-
creating data on a first of the hand-held devices with the data written to the volatile storage medium of the first device or to the non-volatile storage medium of the first device and displayed to the user after creation; after writing the data to the volatile storage medium of the first device or the non-volatile storage medium of the first device, uploading the data to the server and causing the server processor to write the data to the non-volatile server storage medium; and after uploading the data to the server, limiting further access to place the data in the volatile storage medium of the first device for viewing on the device display by requiring, each time a user in possession of the first device seeks to present the data on the display of the first device for viewing, that the data only be accessed from the non-volatile storage medium under the control of the server processor and sent to the volatile storage medium of the first device without writing of the data into any non-volatile storage medium directly accessible by the device processor wherein the data received by the first device from the server can be viewed on the device display but cannot be stored in any non-volatile storage medium in the first device. - View Dependent Claims (115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126)

127. A method of creating and sharing information in a network having a server and a plurality of clients in the form of hand-held devices, each device comprising a processor, a volatile storage medium accessible via the device processor for temporary data storage, a non-volatile storage medium accessible via the device processor for data storage and a touch screen display, the method comprising:
-
coupling the devices to the server via a rf link; providing on at least a first of the devices a first screen presented on the display comprising a series of icons, a first of the icons providing access to a text entry application, for creating text notes, or an image capture application, the text entry application or image capture application enabling creation of data by a user of the first device, which data is viewed on a second screen presented on the display of the device; providing on the first of the devices, during or after data creation, temporary storage of the data displayed on the second screen; after data creation on the first device, providing via the touch screen display, an option to transfer the created data from the device to the server; providing via the touch screen display, after data creation on the first device, an ability to select specific ones of the other devices to which the created data received by the server is to be made available and providing the server with an identification of the selected devices wherein, provided the user transfers the created data from the first device to the server, the first device automatically removes the data from all non-volatile storage accessible to the user via the device processor, sending a notification from the server to each of the other selected devices indicating that access to the created data is available to that selected device for viewing; and upon the server receiving a request from one of the other selected devices, sending the data from the server to said one of the selected devices. - View Dependent Claims (128, 129, 130, 131)

132. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions representing software executable in a first hand-held device comprising a processor, volatile memory to which the processor can write data created on the device, storage and a touch screen display for viewing data created on the device, which instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the first hand-held device to perform a series of method steps in conjunction with operations performed by a server by which a first user in a network having a server shares data created on the first hand-held device with one or more selected members in a group of other hand-held devices on the network, the method comprising:
-
coupling the devices to the server via a rf link; providing on at least a first of the devices a first screen presented on the display comprising a series of icons, a first of the icons providing access to a text entry application, for creating text notes, or an image capture application, the text entry application or image capture application enabling creation of data by a user of the first device, which data is viewed on a second screen presented on the display of the device; providing on the first of the devices, during or after data creation, temporary storage of the data displayed on the second screen; after data creation on the first device, providing via the touch screen display, an option to transfer the created data from the device to the server; providing via the touch screen display, after data creation on the first device, an ability to select specific ones of the other devices to which the created data received by the server is to be made available and providing the server with an identification of the selected devices wherein, provided the user transfers the created data from the first device to the server, the first device automatically removes the data from all non-volatile storage accessible to the user via the device processor, sending a notification from the server to each of the other selected devices indicating that access to the created data is available to that selected device for viewing; and upon the server receiving a request from one of the other selected devices, sending the data from the server to said one of the selected devices.
