Patent ID: 7996555

Claim:
A method for communicating one or more complex documents to a list of one or more recipients in a plurality of successive connections to a wire communication system comprising: a) causing a sending computer having a plurality of means to connect to the wire communications system to populate an envelope in a sending computer memory with the one or more complex documents; b) creating a list of recipients in the sending computer memory; c) sending the populated envelope and list of recipients in a plurality of successive transmissions to the wire communication system by performing the steps of: i. selecting a preferred connection from the plurality of means to connect to the wire communications system and connecting to the wire communications system; ii. determining if the connection is good; iii. disconnecting the connection any time the connection is determined not to be good; iv. disconnecting a wireless or cellular connection to the wire communication system based on a predefined value found in a systems configuration file; v. transmitting a portion of at least one of the populated envelope and the list of recipients until the envelope and list are completely transmitted or the connection is disconnected or lost; and vi. Repeating steps i. through iv. after the connection is disconnected or lost if the envelope and list are not completely transmitted, locating the same or different connection each time step i. is performed and starting each successive transmission from the point after the last known transmission until the populated envelope and list of recipients have been completely transmitted to the wire communication system with the caveat that prior to the completion of the transmission at least 2 different connection means have been selected.
