Abstract

A system for transmission of data between a first device operated by a first user and a second device operated by a second user includes a database that is in network communication with the first device and the second device. The database receives a first set of data input by the first user and a second set of data input by the second user. The database allows the second user to access a first portion of the first set of data only after the second user authorizes the first user via the database to access a first portion of the second set of data. Additionally, the database can allow the second user to have access to the first portion of the first set of data from the database only after the first user authorizes the second user via the database to access the first portion of the first set of data from the database. At least one of the first portion of the first set of data and the first portion of the second set of data includes video data, audio data, geographic location information, visual data and/or textual data. At least one of the first device and the second device can be a mobile phone.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

What is claimed is:

1. A social media computer system for transmission of data between a first mobile phone and a second mobile phone, the social media computer system comprising:
a database that is configured to be in network communication with the first mobile phone and the second mobile phone, the database being configured to receive a first set of data input into the database by the first mobile phone and a second set of data input into the database by the second mobile phone, the database being configured to allow the second mobile phone to access the first set of data only after the second mobile phone authorizes the first mobile phone via the database to access the second set of data;
wherein the first mobile phone includes a filter that is changeable between on and off, wherein when the filter is off, all of the second set of data is viewable on the first mobile phone, and when the filter is on, the amount of data from the second set of data that is viewable by the first mobile phone is decreased.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the second set of data includes real-time data from a user of the second device.

3. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein the database is configured to allow the second mobile phone to access to the first set of data from the database only after the first mobile phone authorizes the second user via the database to access the first set of data from the database.

4. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes video data input by a user of the first mobile phone.

5. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes audio data input by a user of the first mobile phone.

6. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein one of a first portion of the first set of data and a first portion of the second set of data includes geographic location information input into the database by a user of the first mobile phone.

7. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes visual data input into the database by a user of the first mobile phone.

8. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes textual data input into the database by a user of the first mobile phone.

9. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein a first portion of the first set of data changes periodically over time, wherein the second mobile phone includes a storage device, and wherein the database is configured to automatically update the storage device of the second mobile phone with the first portion of the first set of data at regular time intervals.

10. The social media computer system of claim 1 wherein a first portion of the first set of data changes periodically over time, wherein the second mobile phone includes a storage device, and wherein the database is configured to automatically update the storage device of the second mobile phone with the first portion of the first set of data upon a modification to the first portion of the first set of data occurring.

11. A method for transmitting data within a social media computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
configuring a database to be in network communication with a first mobile phone and a second mobile phone;
inputting a first set of data into the database with the first mobile phone;
inputting a second set of data into the database with the second mobile phone;
configuring the database to allow the second mobile phone to access the first set of data only after the second mobile phone authorizes the first mobile phone via the database to access the second set of data; and
providing a filter on the first mobile phone that is changeable between on and off, wherein when the filter is off, all of the second set of data is viewable on the first mobile phone, and when the filter is on, the amount of data from the second set of data that is viewable by the first mobile phone is decreased.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the second set of data includes real-time data from a user of the second device.

13. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of configuring the database to allow the second mobile phone to access to the first set of data from the database only after the first mobile phone authorizes the second user via the database to access the first set of data from the database.

14. The method of claim 11 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes video data input by a user of the first mobile phone.

15. The method of claim 11 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes audio data input by a user of the first mobile phone.

16. The method of claim 11 wherein one of a first portion of the first set of data and a first portion of the second set of data includes geographic location information input into the database by a user of the first mobile phone.

17. The method of claim 11 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes visual data input into the database by a user of the first mobile phone.

18. The method of claim 11 wherein a first portion of the first set of data includes textual data input into the database by a user of the first mobile phone.

19. The method of claim 11 wherein a first portion of the first set of data changes periodically over time, and further comprising the step of configuring the database to automatically update a storage device of the second mobile phone with the first portion of the first set of data at regular time intervals.

20. The method of claim 11 wherein a first portion of the first set of data changes periodically over time, and further comprising the step of configuring the database to automatically update a storage device of the second mobile phone with the first portion of the first set of data upon a modification to the first portion of the first set of data occurring.
