One thing that I would suggest is that you may want to consult
a patent attorney about writing the claims for your patent
application.  If the claims are written improperly you will 
either get rejected in your application, or you will end up
with a patent that is worthless.  I used to be a patent examiner
and most of the people who filed there own applications tended
to have poorly written claims.
