Abstract

There is provided methods, apparatuses and computer program products for delivering contents from a source device to a multiple of destination devices. In an apparatus in a source device an indication of a content selected for delivery to destination devices is received and at least one delivery condition to be used to control the delivery of the selected content to the destination devices is defined. A notification regarding the selected content is formed and information on the at least one delivery condition is included in the notification. The notification is transmitted. The at least one delivery condition includes at least one of a location condition and a time condition. In an apparatus in a destination device an indication of a content selected for delivery from a source device to the apparatus is received and information of at least one delivery condition to control the delivery of the selected content to the apparatus is obtained from the notification. It is examined whether the apparatus fulfills the delivery conditions; and if so, the selected content is received.

Dependent claims

A method for an apparatus comprising a touch sensitive element configured to identify a touch on the touch sensitive element, the method comprising:

receiving an indication of a content selected for delivery from the apparatus to a destination apparatus, wherein the selected content comprises one or more files containing video or audio content;
defining at least one delivery condition comprising at least one of a location condition or a time condition, the at least one delivery condition to be used to determine whether the delivery of the selected content from the apparatus to the destination apparatus is allowed;
examining a type of the selected content by examining an application handling the content or by examining a file extension of the content;
in an instance in which the destination apparatus is within a predetermined distance of the apparatus, directly transmitting a notification regarding the selected content to be shared from the apparatus to the destination apparatus, the notification comprising information on the type of the selected content, one or more identifiers indicating the selected content to be shared, information on the at least one delivery condition, and authentication information comprising a user's fingerprint, captured from any portion of the touch sensitive element, as a further delivery condition to define who is authorized to deliver the selected content to the destination apparatus;
and
in an instance in which the destination apparatus fulfills the at least one delivery condition and is authorized to receive the selected content, transmitting the selected content in response to receiving a request for the selected content from the destination apparatus, said request comprising an indication that the destination apparatus fulfills the delivery conditions,
wherein the selected content is authorized for presentation by the destination apparatus in response to receiving, at the destination apparatus, the user's fingerprint.

4 more elements

receive an indication of a content selected for delivery from the apparatus to a destination apparatus, wherein the selected content comprises one or more files containing video or audio content;
define at least one delivery condition comprising at least one of a location condition or a time condition, the at least one delivery condition to be used to determine whether the delivery of the selected content from the apparatus to the destination apparatus is allowed;
examine a type of the selected content by examining an application handling the content or by examining a file extension of the content;
in an instance in which the destination apparatus is within a predetermined distance of the apparatus, directly transmit a notification regarding the selected content to be shared, the notification comprising information on the type of the selected content, one or more identifiers indicating the selected content to be shared, information on the at least one delivery condition in the notification, and authentication information comprising a user's fingerprint, captured from any portion of a touch sensitive element of the apparatus, as a further delivery condition to define who is authorized to deliver the selected content to the destination apparatus;
and
in an instance in which the destination apparatus fulfills the at least one delivery condition and is authorized to receive the selected content, transmit the selected content in response to receiving a request for the selected content from the destination apparatus, said request comprising an indication that the destination apparatus fulfills the delivery conditions,
wherein the selected content is authorized for presentation by the destination apparatus in response to receiving, at the destination apparatus, the user's fingerprint.
