Abstract
A mobile device and methods for sharing content are provided. The mobile device includes a communicator configured to communicate with at least one external device; and a controller configured to control decryption of encrypted content that is shared with the at least one external device, in response to determining that the mobile device is located within a proximate spacing of the at least one external device.
Claims38
A mobile device comprising:
- a communicator configured to communicate with at least one external device;
- and
- a controller configured to decrypt encrypted content that is shared by the mobile device and at least one external device, in response to determining that the mobile device is located within a proximate spacing of the at least one external device.
A method of sharing content in a security group that includes a plurality of devices, the method comprising:
- determining whether a number of devices, from among the plurality of devices, is equal to or greater than a threshold value are located within a proximate spacing of each other;
- and
- decrypting encrypted content that is shared by the plurality of devices, in response to determining that the number of devices located within a proximate spacing of each other is equal to or greater than the threshold value.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording storage medium having stored thereon a computer program, which when executed by a computer, performs the method comprising:
- determining whether a number of devices, from among the plurality of devices, is equal to or greater than a threshold value are located within a proximate spacing of each other;
- and
- decrypting encrypted content that is shared by the plurality of devices, in response to determining that the number of devices located within a proximate spacing of each other is equal to or greater than the threshold value.
A method of sharing content, the method comprising:
- determining whether a user device is located within a proximate spacing of at least one other user device;
- encrypting content stored on the user device in response to determining that the user device is located within the proximate spacing of the at least one other user device;
- and
- distributing the encrypted content to the at least one other user device.
A user device comprising:
- a controller configured to determine whether the user device is located within a proximate spacing of at least one other user device and to encrypt content stored on the user device in response to determining that the user device is located within the proximate spacing of the at least one other user device;
- and
- a communicator configured to distribute the encrypted content to the at least one other user device.
