Personally I'm a big believer that the execution of an idea is worth much, much more than the ideas themselves.
That's not to say you shouldn't protect your idea, but you need to decide where you want to apply your time/energy/resources. You sorta need to decide if you want to start your own business around this idea, and what protection you'd need around that, of if you'd prefer to partner with some one else to take it to market.
I guess my only real advice here is don't fall into the trap of hoarding your invention/idea like a precious gem without actually putting some time/effort into polishing that gem. Otherwise you'll be stuck with a lump of coal.
