1. An apparatus for reproducing data, comprising:
- a memory(32) for storing a pre-recorded audio data;
a decoder(34) for decoding the audio data for a subsequent output to at least one headphone set(2,4) in communication with said apparatus; and
an ID reader(26) for detecting at least one foreign headphone set(2,4) to determine whether said foreign headphone set (2,4) has a right to access a requested cryptographic class of service.

Abstract
The present invention relates to sharing of content between multiple users. A data player(10) decodes pre-stored audio data therein using a decoding function, and a converter converts the decoded digital data to analog to a headphone set in communication with the data player. When another user places his or her headphone set (2,4) close to the data player(10), the data player(10) confirms whether it has right to receive transmission from the data player, and after successful verification, reproduced data from the data player can be shared by the users.

9. A data reproducing device for sharing reproduced data between a plurality of headphone sets, comprising:
-
a transmitting unit for transmitting said reproduced data to a first headphone set; and a detecting unit for detecting a second headphone set present near said data reproducing device or said first headphone set in order to validate whether said second headphone set has a right to receive said reproduced data; and means for transmitting said reproduced data to said second headphone set after successful validation. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for sharing data between a plurality of headphone sets(2,4), the method comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a communication connection between a data reproducing unit and a first headphone set; detecting a second headphone set to determine whether said second headphone set has a right to receive data transmission from said data reproducing unit; and upon successful determination, transmitting the data transmission to said second headphone set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
