METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AD-HOC CONTENT SHARING
First Claim
1. A method facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- at least one determination of a request to share at least one content item from at least one device;
a generation of one or more compressed representations of the at least one content item, the one or more compressed representations including at least one link for retrieving the at least one content item; and
a broadcasting of the one or more compressed representations in one or more broadcast messages over an ad-hoc network to one or more other devices.

Abstract
An approach is provided for discovering proximity-based and/or location-based services over an ad-hoc network. A request to share at least one content item from at least one device is determined. Further, one or more compressed representations of the at least one content item are generated, where the one or more compressed representations include at least one link for retrieving the at least one content item. Furthermore, the one or more compressed representations are broadcast in one or more broadcast messages over an ad-hoc network to one or more other devices.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, 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, determine a request to share at least one content item from at least one device; cause, at least in part, a generation of one or more compressed representations of the at least one content item, the one or more compressed representations including at least one link for retrieving the at least one content item; and cause, at least in part, a broadcasting of the one or more compressed representations in one or more broadcast messages over an ad-hoc network to one or more other devices. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
