Abstract

A data sharing system includes at least one first client device, at least one second client device, and a hub equipment. The at least one first client device provides data. The at least one second client device receives data. The hub equipment receives data from the first client device using a first transmission protocol, and transmits the received data to the second client device using a second transmission protocol.

Claims

1. A data sharing system comprising:

at least one first client device configured to provide data, and at least one second client device configured to receive data; and

a hub equipment configured to receive data from the first client device using a first transmission protocol, and transmit the received data to the second client device using a second transmission protocol.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first transmission protocol and the second transmission protocol are one of the same and different from each other.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the hub equipment is further configured to receive data from the first client device using the first transmission protocol, and transmit the received data to the second client device using the second transmission protocol according to a schedule registered in advance.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein when a trigger set in advance is met, the hub equipment is further configured to receive data from the first client device using the first transmission protocol, and transmit the received data to the second client device using the second transmission protocol.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the trigger denotes that the first client device and the second client device are connected via a network.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the trigger denotes that one of a period arrives and a specific time arrives.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the trigger denotes determining that the first client device updates data.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the first client device and the second client device is connected with the hub equipment using one of a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi).

9. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the first client device and the second client device comprises a web (server).

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the hub equipment is accessible to one or more different kinds of networks.

11. A data sharing method comprising:

receiving data from at least one first client device for providing data via a first transmission protocol; and

transmitting the received data to a second client device via at least one second transmission protocol.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the first transmission protocol and the second transmission protocol are one of the same and different from each other.

13. The method of claim 11 further comprising:

registering a schedule for performing receiving the data from the at least one first client for providing data via the first transmission protocol, and transmitting the received data to the second client device via the at least one second transmission protocol.

14. The method of claim 11 further comprising:

setting a trigger for performing receiving the data from the at least one first client for providing data via the first transmission protocol, and transmitting the received data to the second client device via the at least one second transmission protocol.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the trigger denotes that the first client device and the second client device are connected via a network.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the trigger denotes that one of a period arrives and a specific time arrives.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the trigger denotes determining that the first client device updates data.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein one of the first client device and the second client device is connected with the hub equipment using one of a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi).

19. The method of claim 11, wherein one of the first client device and the second client device comprises a web (server).

20. The method of claim 11, wherein the hub equipment is accessible to one or more different kinds of networks.
