Rapid Sharing of Multimedia Contents in Android Devices using Multithreaded Execution Model

Abstract

Sharing and transmission of multimedia files are increasingly becoming common among mobile and smart phone users. As most of the mobile devices run on Android platform, the new methods for rapid sharing and transmitting is highly essential considering the continuous growth of mobile phone users, as well as the increasing trend in the size of multimedia information shared. In this paper, a mechanism for rapidly transmitting and sharing of multimedia files between different mobile devices using multi-threaded execution mechanism is explored. The main focus is to show the capacities of multi-threading in multimedia file transfer in Android based smart devices while transferring contents such as video, audio, text, and images.
