US Patent 9276883 Information collection, storage, and sharing platform

A mobile terminal collects information items identified by a user of the mobile terminal, the collected information items having different formats of data that are to be rendered by different applications at the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal synchronizes itself with the remote server so that the user can access the plurality of information items stored at the remote server from another terminal. Next, the mobile terminal displays some information items in a chronological order. In response to detecting a user selection of one information item, the mobile terminal determines whether data associated with the information item is in the mobile terminal or not. If the data is present in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal then renders the data on the mobile terminal. Otherwise, the mobile terminal first downloads the data from the remote server and then renders the data on the mobile terminal.
