Abstract

This invention enables a smartphone user to send scheduled video messages from one smartphone to another smartphone(s). This means that a user is able to send a video message to his desired recipient via his contact list in his smartphone, select the time and date at which the recorded video message can be sent to the desired contact. Moreover, the user is able to personalise the video message by adding special effects like adding subtitles or frames. The user is also able to send multiple video messages to multiple recipients in his contact list.

Description

Description
Title of invention: Scheduled Smartphone Video Messages
At present, any form of Short Message Service (SMS) message that is sent from a mobile phone to another mobile phone does not give the sender the option to time his message to a desired recipient of his intended message. This invention enables a user to schedule his message(s), in the form of a video, to his desired recipient(s).
The following description details the entire process of how a video message is sent to a central server, stored till the pre-set time and date by the sender, and ultimately sent to the desired recipient.
Firstly, a video is recorded or selected from the smartphone device and when the user clicks on the 'use' button, the video message is uploaded to the server. After that, the thumbnail of the video message is created. Then the video message is converted into bytes before being sent to the server path where the video message is being stored using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) method.
Once the video is uploaded, in response, the path name of the video is returned. The same scenario is carried out for the uploading of the thumbnail of the video. Now, since there is both the thumbnail and the original video path, the record is then inserted into the database. The whole process is done using HTTP.
