Abstract

A method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network, a method of transmitting data in an ad hoc network, a server, and a data transmitting system are provided. The method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network includes receiving and storing data from a device of a first user; detecting that a device of a second user accesses the server; 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 is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.

Claims

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;

detecting that a device of a second user accesses the server;

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 is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein storing data comprises storing data tables mapping devices using metadata of the data, and transmitting the processed data 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 a 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 a 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 nm 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 ad hoc 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 is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.

19. A server, comprising:

a communication interface configured to transmit and receive data to and from a device of a first user and a device of a second user through a network;

a storage unit configured to store the data received from the device of the first user; and

a control unit configured to detect that the device of the second user accesses the server, select data from the stored data based on user information, process the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user, and transmit the processed data to the device of the second user,

wherein the server is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.

20. A data transmitting system, comprising:

a device of a first user configured to connect to a network and transmit stored data to a server;

a device of a second user configured to connect to the network and receive data from the server; and

a server configured to receive and store the data, detect that the device of the second user connects to the network, select data from the received and stored data based on user information, process the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user, and transmit the processed data to the device of the second user,

wherein the server is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.
