Abstract
An approach is provided for providing embedding of local identifiers. The incorporation platform causes, at least in part, a detection, at a device, of presence of one or more other devices. Next, the incorporation platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of wireless signal information, from the one or more other devices, to determine one or more identifiers associated with the one or more other devices. Then, the incorporation platform causes, at least in part, an incorporation of at least one of the one or more identifiers in one or more captured content items.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, by an apparatus from a device, one or more captured content items captured by the device and one or more encrypted identifiers of one or more other devices detected as present within a short-range wireless communication range from a location of the device where the one or more captured content items were captured;
- receiving a request, from one of the one or more other devices to the apparatus, for the one or more captured content items, the request including at least one other identifier;
- causing, at least in part, a decryption of the one or more encrypted identifiers by the apparatus into one or more decrypted identifiers;
- determining, by the apparatus, that at least one of the one or more decrypted identifiers includes, at least in part, the at least one other identifier;
- and
- processing the one or more decrypted identifiers to determine history information, location information, or a combination thereof, associated with the one or more decrypted identifiers,
- wherein the history information includes, at least in part, one or more time periods corresponding to a detected presence of the one or more other devices within the short-range wireless communication range, and the location information included, at least in part, one or more geographical distances of the one or more other devices from the device during the detected presence,
- wherein the one or more encrypted identifiers are associated with the one or more captured content items based, at least in part, on the history information, the location information, or a combination thereof, and
- wherein the device has no key information to decrypt the one or more encrypted identifiers, and the one or more other devices are anonymous to the device.
6 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- receive, from a device, one or more captured content items captured by the device and one or more encrypted identifiers of one or more other devices detected as present within a short-range wireless communication range from a location of the device where one or more captured content items were captured;
- receive a request, from one of the one or more other devices, for the one or more captured content items, the request including at least one other identifier;
- decrypt the one or more encrypted identifiers into one or more decrypted identifiers;
- determine that at least one of the one or more decrypted identifiers includes, at least in part, the at least one other identifier;
- and
- process the one or more decrypted identifiers to determine history information, location information, or a combination thereof, associated with the one or more decrypted identifiers,
- wherein the history information includes, at least in part, one or more time periods corresponding to a detected presence of the one or more other devices within the short-range wireless communication range, and the location information included, at least in part, one or more geographical distances of the one or more other devices from the device during the detected presence,
- wherein the one or more encrypted identifiers are associated with the one or more captured content items based, at least in part, on the history information, the location information, or a combination thereof, and
- wherein the device has no key information to decrypt the one or more encrypted identifiers, and the one or more other devices are anonymous to the device.
