US 2016/0105859 A1 · Method for Synchronizing Content among Terminals and Terminals

Abstract

A method for synchronizing content among terminals and terminals. The method includes determining, by a first terminal, content for sharing of the first terminal; when the first terminal discovers a second terminal, establishing, by the first terminal, a connection to the second terminal using a short-range wireless communications technology, where the second terminal belongs to a same synchronization group as the first terminal, and can establish a connection to the first terminal using a short-range wireless communications technology, and terminals that belong to a same synchronization group can synchronize content for sharing; and synchronizing, by the first terminal, the content for sharing of the first terminal and content for sharing of the second terminal using the connection established to the second terminal. The method is applicable to the field of communications technologies.

Dependent claims

A method for synchronizing content among terminals, comprising:

determining, by a first terminal, content for sharing of the first terminal;
establishing, by the first terminal and using a short-range wireless communications technology when the first terminal discovers a second terminal, a connection to the second terminal, wherein the second terminal belongs to a same synchronization group as the first terminal and can establish a connection to the first terminal using the short-range wireless communications technology, and wherein terminals that belong to a same synchronization group can synchronize content for sharing;
and
synchronizing, by the first terminal and using the connection established to the second terminal, the content for sharing of the first terminal and content for sharing of the second terminal.

1 more element

A first terminal, comprising:

a processor;
a memory;
and
a transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine content for sharing of the first terminal and store the content for sharing of the first terminal in the memory;
invoke the transceiver to establish, using a short-range wireless communications technology, a connection to the second terminal when the first terminal discovers a second terminal, wherein the second terminal belongs to a same synchronization group as the first terminal and can establish a connection to the first terminal using the short-range wireless communications technology, and wherein terminals that belong to a same synchronization group can synchronize content for sharing;
and
invoke the transceiver to synchronize, using the connection established to the second terminal, the content for sharing of the first terminal and content for sharing of the second terminal.
