A Mobile Cloud System for Enhancing Multimedia File Transfer with IP Protection

Fast transferring and sharing large multimedia files on the mobile network is a challenge. Most users encounter a long delay before playing a file; so this creates a bad experience for users. One common mechanism is to buffer the file to the internal memory before playing it. Hence, playing a large media file without long delay or interruption is a dream. This paper proposed a new mechanism, named as STEM, that can enhance the media file sharing and transfer speed over the Internet based on smartphones or mobile devices. In addition, this technique can also protect the intellectual property of the transferred media.
