Most Relevant Prior Art

Based on the analysis, the following prior art appears most relevant due to direct overlap with key claimed features, particularly considering the priority date of US12112357B2 (February 12, 2010):

  1. US20040261033A1 - Communication system that provides users with the capability to record video messages that are broadcast live over the Internet and simultaneously translated into various languages.

    • Publication Date: 2004-12-23 (pre-dates priority)
    • Relevance: This patent directly anticipates the ability for users to record and broadcast video messages live over the Internet, which is a central aspect of claims 9 and 24 (generating media messages with captured video and providing feeds).

  2. US20050138560A1 - Method and apparatus for broadcasting live personal performances over the internet.

    • Publication Date: 2005-06-23 (pre-dates priority)
    • Relevance: Highly relevant as it teaches broadcasting live user-generated content over the internet, further anticipating the user-generated media messages and streaming in claims 9 and 24.

  3. US20070099659A1 - Systems and Methods for Uploading Content Over a Wireless Network Using a Mobile Communication Device.

    • Publication Date: 2007-05-03 (pre-dates priority)
    • Relevance: Directly anticipates the "receiving... a plurality of media messages from one or more mobile applications" and the uploading aspect, foundational to all independent claims.

  4. US7386623B2 - Content distribution notification method, reservation control apparatus and program storage medium.

    • Publication Date: 2008-06-10 (pre-dates priority)
    • Relevance: This is highly relevant to the core concept of coordinating scheduled media, including elements of storing media messages and potentially their scheduled airtimes (which ties into expiration information for when content can no longer be provided). This directly impacts the novelty of the scheduling and expiration features in claims 1, 8, 9, 15, 16, 23, and 24.

  5. US20070294177A1 - Mobile content publishing system and method.

    • Publication Date: 2007-12-20 (pre-dates priority)
    • Relevance: Broadly covers mobile content publishing, impacting the fundamental concept of distributing user-generated or scheduled content to mobile devices.

  6. US20100037204A1 - Content Distribution for Mobile Device.

    • Publication Date: 2010-02-11 (one day before priority date)
    • Relevance: This is exceptionally close in time to the priority date and directly addresses content distribution for mobile devices. A thorough comparison of its claims to those of US12112357B2 would be critical to determine anticipation, especially regarding feeds, multiple feeds, switching, sharing prompts, and expiration information.

These prior art documents collectively suggest that several fundamental elements of US12112357B2, such as streaming media to mobile devices, user-generated content, uploading content from mobile devices, advertising on mobile platforms, and even basic content scheduling, were known prior to its priority date. The specific combination of "expiration information" for feeds, the generation of "distinct first and second feeds," and the explicit "sharing prompt" mechanism are areas where US12112357B2 might differentiate itself, but these too would need careful examination against the cited art.
