Abstract

A data transmission method, a server and a data transmission system are provided. The data transmission method includes receiving data, storing data, selecting data based on device information, and transmitting the selected data, resulting in a more convenient sharing and utilization of data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network, the method comprising:
receiving and storing data from a device of a first user;
selecting data from the stored data based on user information;
processing the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user; and
transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user,
wherein the server combines data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmits the combined data to the device of the second user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the storing comprises storing data tables mapping devices using metadata of the data, and the transmitting comprises transmitting the metadata mapped to the device of the first user, if the device of the first user recorded on the data tables is connected.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising;
selecting data from the stored data according to information of the device of the second user,
wherein the information of the device of the second user includes information regarding the relationship between the device of the first user and the device of the second user.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the selected data is processed to be implemented in the device of the second user based on the information of the device of the second user.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the processed data comprises transmitting the processed data, if a level of data transmission authorization is less than or equal to a level of authorization of the device of the second user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user information includes information of authorization of the device of the second user set by the relationship, and transmitting the processed data comprises transmitting the processed data by comparing data transmission authorization that the processed data transmission requests, with the authorization of the device of the second user.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein transmitting the processed data comprises transmitting the processed data, if a level of the data transmission authorization is less than or equal to a level of authorization of the device of the second user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processed data transmitted to the device of the second user is updated on the device of the first user or set by a user through the device of the first user.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving keywords inputted to the device of the first user by user manipulation, wherein transmitting the processed data comprises selecting the processed data based on the keywords, and transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device of the second user is a user terminal set by a user through the device of the first user.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving keywords inputted to the device of the first user by user manipulation, wherein transmitting the processed data comprises selecting the device of the second user based on the keywords, and transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the processed data comprises generating metadata of the selected data and transmitting the metadata with the selected data to the device of the second user.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein, if the selected data or the metadata is transmitted, the device of the second user displays at least one of the selected data or the metadata by automatically implementing an application to run the selected data or to display the metadata.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the processed data comprises transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user after receiving a transmission request of the stored data from the device of the first user, if the device of the second user connects to the network.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data from the device of the first user is at least one of photos, videos, voices, addresses, telephone numbers, searching results, and webpages stored in at least one of the device of the first user and the device of the second user.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device of the second user provides a user with a user interface (UI) to determine whether the selected data is displayed, and implements an application to display the selected data according to user manipulation of the UI.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein storing the data comprises combining and storing data received from a plurality of first devices, if there are at least two first devices, and transmitting the processed data comprises transmitting integrally stored data to the device of the second user, if the device of the second user connects to the network.

18. A method of transmitting data in an ad hoc network, the method comprising:
receiving and storing data from a device of a first user;
detecting that a device of a second user accesses the network;
selecting data from the stored data based on user information;
processing the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user; and
transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user,
wherein a server combines data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmits the combined data to the device of the second user.

19. A server, comprising:
a communication interface which transmits and receives data to and from a device of a first user and a device of a second user through a network;
a storage unit which stores the data received from the device of the first user; and
a control unit which detects that the device of the second user accesses the server, selects data from the stored data based on user information, processes the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user, and transmits the processed data to the device of the second user,
wherein the server combines data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmits the combined data to the device of the second user.

20. A data transmitting system, comprising:
a device of a first user which connects to a network and transmits stored data to a server;
a device of a second user which connects to the network and receives data from the server; and
a server which receives and stores the data, detects that the device of the second user connects to the network, selects data from the received and stored data based on user information, processes the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user, and transmits the processed data to the device of the second user,
wherein the server combines data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmits the combined data to the device of the second user.
