Abstract:
1. A media transfer system on at least one wireless network that relies on at least one security mechanism present on the at least one wireless network, the media transfer system comprising: a media transfer messaging application stored on a central server to be downloaded by a plurality of client devices and stored thereon, the plurality of client devices in communication with the at least one wireless network; wherein the plurality of client devices having the media transfer messaging application stored thereon are enabled to transmit media between one another via the at least one wireless network; wherein the media to be transmitted by the media transfer messaging application is selected from the group consisting of audio, video, pictures or text; wherein each of the plurality of client devices are defined as a receiving client device when receiving media and a sending client device when sending media; wherein the sending client device is authenticated prior to sending media to be defined as an authenticated sending client device; wherein the media transfer messaging application is configured to transmit media to the receiving client device that is consistent with capabilities of the receiving client device; wherein at least one of the plurality of client devices is a handheld media enabled device; wherein media sent from the sending client device using the media transfer messaging application is received by the receiving client device as a message, and wherein the message provides the receiving client device with an option to accept, reject, delay or schedule delivery of the message; wherein the receiving client device is adapted to send a message received from a sending client device to at least one receiving client device; wherein the media transfer messaging application comprises a network traffic load awareness system to determine optimal delivery times of the message; wherein the media transfer messaging application relies on the security mechanism present on the at least one wireless network and that is in communication with the sending client device so that the security measure ensures authentication of the sending client device and the media to be transferred by the sending client device, wherein authentication is performed on the at least one wireless network; wherein the media to be transferred is automatically optimized for transmission with respect to the sending client device and the receiving client device; wherein the media transfer messaging application comprises at least one security measure that conforms at least one setting of the sending client device and at least one setting of the receiving client device and that ensures that media to be transferred between the sending client device and the receiving client device meets requirements of the at least one setting of both the sending client device and the receiving client device; wherein the message includes a preamble and a main body, and wherein the preamble provides the receiving client device with the option to accept, reject, delay or schedule delivery of the message; wherein the preamble and the main body are separated by a pause; and wherein, upon selection of the option to delay or schedule delivery of the message, the media transfer messaging application prompts the receiving client device for at least one of a predetermined length of time to wait before delivering the message and a preset time at which to deliver the message.
