## Abstract

Methods and devices are provided for sharing media data between terminals. The method includes: a first terminal receives a media data sharing parameter through a NFC link, the media data sharing parameter including: a sharing link connection parameter, and/or, location information of media data to be shared. When the media data sharing parameter includes the sharing link connection parameter, the first terminal establishes a sharing link between the first terminal and the second terminal according to the sharing link connection parameter, and acquires the media data to be shared through the sharing link. When the media data sharing parameter includes the location information of the media data to be shared, the first terminal acquires the media data to be shared according to the location information of the media data to be shared.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for sharing media data between terminals, comprising:
receiving, by a first terminal, a media data sharing parameter through a Near Field Communication (NFC) link, the media data sharing parameter comprising at least one of a sharing link connection parameter and location information of media data to be shared;
when the media data sharing parameter comprises the sharing link connection parameter, establishing, by the first terminal, a sharing link between the first terminal and a second terminal according to the sharing link connection parameter, and acquiring the media data to be shared through the sharing link; and
when the media data sharing parameter comprises the location information of the media data to be shared, acquiring, by the first terminal, the media data to be shared according to the location information of the media data to be shared.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
establishing, by the first terminal, the NFC link with the second terminal by contact impact before the first terminal receives the media data sharing parameter transmitted by the second terminal through the NFC link.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, by the first terminal, a synchronization parameter of the media data to be shared transmitted by the second terminal through the NFC link, the synchronization parameter comprising: playing progress information of the media data to be shared; and
playing, by the first terminal, the media data to be shared synchronously with the second terminal according to the synchronization parameter after acquiring the media data to be shared.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the sharing link connection parameter comprises at least one of: a BlueTooth (BT) connection parameter and a Wireless-Fidelity (WI-FI) connection parameter.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the location information of the media data to be shared comprises: storage address information of the media data to be shared.

### Claim 6

A method for sharing media data between terminals, comprising:
sending, by a first terminal, a media data sharing parameter to a second terminal through a Near Field Communication (NFC) link, the media data sharing parameter comprising at least one of a sharing link connection parameter and location information of media data to be shared, so as for the second terminal to acquire the media data to be shared according to the media data sharing parameter.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, when the media data sharing parameter comprises the location information of the media data to be shared, the method further comprising:
storing, by the first terminal, the media data to be shared in a storage space corresponding to the location information of the media data to be shared.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, further comprising:
sending, by the first terminal, a synchronization parameter of the media data to be shared to the second terminal through the NFC link, the synchronization parameter comprising: playing progress information of the media data to be shared.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, wherein the sharing link connection parameter comprises at least one of: a BlueTooth (BT) connection parameter and a Wireless-Fidelity (WI-FI) connection parameter.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6, wherein the location information of the media data to be shared comprises: storage address information of the media data to be shared.

### Claim 11
