Abstract

A mobile collaborative community system provides distribution of shared data (e.g., media, preference, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc.) for a group of individuals (e.g., families, business organization, team, project, etc.) to the mobile devices of the group members. The system maintains a central repository or database of shared data for groups, as well as information defining the groups, user membership in the groups, and the mobile devices associated with the users. The system distributes the shared data for a group to the mobile devices of the user who are members of the group. The users can make changes to shared group data on their mobile devices, which changes are returned to the central repository and re-distributed to update the shared data on the mobile devices of all group members.
