Abstract

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprises at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory includes computer program code. Further, 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 a user configuration related to a data stream from an electronic device; and share or unshare the data stream with the electronic device based at least in part on the user configuration.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, 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 a user configuration related to a data stream from an electronic device; and

share or unshare the data stream with the electronic device based at least in part on the user configuration.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the user configuration is at least one of a tag or a flag associated with the data stream.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to classify the data stream as shared or unshared.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to share at least one additional data stream based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to send a suggestion to a user based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to share recorded data from a second data stream previously unshared.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving a user configuration related to a data stream from an electronic device; and

sharing the data stream with the electronic device based at least in part on the user configuration.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the user configuration is at least one of a tag or a flag associated with the data stream.

9. The method of claim 7 further comprising classifying the data stream as shared or unshared.

10. The method of claim 7 further comprising sharing at least one additional data stream based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

11. The method of claim 7 further comprising sending a suggestion to a user based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

12. The method of claim 7 further comprising sharing recorded data from a second data stream previously unshared.

13. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, 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;

transmit a user configuration related to a data stream; and

receive the data stream based at least in part on the transmitted user configuration.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the user configuration is at least one of a tag or a flag associated with the data stream.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive a suggestion based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive at least one additional data stream based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

17. A method, comprising:

transmitting a user configuration related to a data stream from an electronic device; and

receiving the data stream based at least in part on the transmitted user configuration.

18. The method of claim 17 wherein the user configuration is at least one of a tag or a flag associated with the data stream.

19. The method of claim 17 further comprising receiving a suggestion based at least in part on previously shared data streams.

20. The method of claim 17 receiving at least one additional data stream based at least in part on previously shared data streams.
