Application: Method and communication device for processing data for transmission from the communication device to a second communication device (Patent ID: US20240195774A1)

The patent filed by BlackBerry Ltd. describes a method and communication device for processing data for transmission, specifically focusing on attachments. The method involves detecting an attachment in the data, determining the address of a copy of the attachment stored externally, substituting the address in the data, and transmitting it to another communication device. The claims detail the steps involved in automatically substituting a file with an address of a copy on an external storage device, embedding the address in the file as metadata, using exchangeable image file format (EXIF) for the file, utilizing a uniform resource locator (URL) for the address, and storing the address in association with an identifier of the file in a database or table.

Overall, the patent outlines a method for efficient data transmission by substituting attachments with addresses of external copies, making the retrieval process easier for receiving communication devices. The claims further elaborate on the specific processes involved, such as embedding addresses in files, utilizing different file formats, and storing addresses in databases or tables for retrieval. This innovation aims to streamline communication processes, especially for messages containing various types of data like images, audio, video, or documents, across different communication platforms like emails, text messages, or instant messaging.
