1. Field
Apparatuses and methods consistent with one or more exemplary embodiments relate to a device and method of setting or removing security on content, and more particularly, to a device and method of setting or removing security on content by using biometric information.
2. Description of the Related Art
These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram for describing a device according to an exemplary embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of a controller that sets or removes security on content, according to an exemplary embodiment;
One or more exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it is understood that exemplary embodiments may be embodied in many different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein; rather, these exemplary embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of one or more exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure one or more exemplary embodiments with unnecessary detail, and like reference numerals in the drawings denote like or similar elements throughout the specification.
Advantages and features of one or more exemplary embodiments and methods of accomplishing the same may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of the exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Also, while describing the one or more exemplary embodiments, detailed descriptions about related well-known functions or configurations that may diminish the clarity of the points of the present invention are omitted. It will be understood that although the terms “first”, “second”, etc. may be used herein to describe various components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These components are only used to distinguish one component from another.
Hereinafter, a device according to one or more exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings. Terms such as “module” or “unit” are used only for the purpose of ease of preparation of the specification, and thus shall be considered in a broad sense and are not limited to any particular meaning or role.
