Abstract

An electronic device and a method of transceiving data are disclosed. A method of transceiving data by an electronic device includes: storing one or more pieces of input biometric information; searching for one or more electronic devices in response to the input of the same biometric information as the stored biometric information; connecting a communication session with the one or more searched electronic devices; and transceiving data with the one or more electronic devices through the connected communication session.

Claims

1. A method of transceiving data by an electronic device, comprising:

storing one or more pieces of input biometric information;

searching for one or more electronic devices in response to input of a same biometric information as the stored one or more pieces of input biometric information;

establishing a communication session with the one or more searched electronic devices; and

transceiving data with the one or more electronic devices via the communication session.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the searching for the one or more electronic devices includes:

encoding the stored one or more pieces of input biometric information;

broadcasting the encoded one or more pieces of input biometric information; and

determining the one or more electronic devices by using a response signal received in response to the broadcasted encoded one or more pieces of input biometric information.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting the stored one or more pieces of biometric information to a server.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more pieces of biometric information includes intrinsic information for each user, and

includes at least one from among a finger print, a foot print, an iris, a face, a heart rate, brain waves, joints, and a pulse beat.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

grouping the one or more pieces of input biometric information.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the response signal is a signal allowing data transception with the one or more electronic devices when the same biometric information as the one or more pieces of stored biometric information is input.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more electronic devices are searched for using at least one from among a Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP), a Multicast Domain Name System (MDNS), broadcasting, multicasting, and unicasting.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

when the number of the one or more electronic devices is two or more, setting data transception by establishing the communication session between the two or more electronic devices.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the transceiving of the data includes:

receiving a selection of data desired to be transmitted to the one or more electronic devices; and

when biometric information is received from the one or more electronic devices, transmitting the selected data to the one or more electronic devices.

10. A method of transceiving data by an electronic device, the method comprising:

grouping one or more pieces of biometric information as grouped biometric information and transmitting the grouped biometric information to a server;

requesting biometric information from the server in response to an input of biometric information that is a same as that which is included in the grouped biometric information and receiving the requested biometric information;

searching for one or more electronic devices by using the input biometric information; and

transceiving data with the one or more searched electronic devices by establishing a communication session.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the searching for the one or more electronic devices includes:

encoding the received biometric information;

broadcasting the encoded biometric information; and

determining the one or more electronic devices by using a response signal received in response to the broadcasted biometric information.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more pieces of biometric information includes intrinsic information for each user, and

includes at least one from among a finger print, a foot print, an iris, a face, a heart rate, brain waves, joints, and a pulse beat.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the response signal is a signal allowing data transception with the one or more electronic devices when the same biometric information as the one or more pieces of grouped biometric information is input.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the communication session is one of connected through the server and directly connected with the one or more electronic devices.

15. An electronic device transceiving data, the electronic device comprising:

a sensor including one or more sensors which receive one or more pieces of biometric information;

a processor configured to search for one or more electronic devices in response to an input, at the one or more electronic devices, of a same biometric information as biometric information received at the electronic device, and configured to control a connection of a communication session with the one or more searched electronic devices; and

a communicator configured to transceive data with the one or more electronic devices via the connected communication session.

16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the processor encodes the biometric information received at the electronic device, controls broadcasting of the encoded biometric information, and determines the one or more electronic devices by using a response signal received in response to the broadcasted biometric information.

17. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the processor transmits the received biometric information to a server through the communicator.

18. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the one or more pieces of biometric information includes intrinsic information for each user, and

includes at least one of a finger print, a foot print, an iris, a face, a heart rate, brain waves, joints, and a pulse beat.

19. The electronic device of claim 15, further comprising:

a storage configured to store the biometric information received at the electronic device,

wherein the processor groups the biometric information received at the electronic device as grouped biometric information and stores the grouped biometric information in the storage.

20. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein when a number of the one or more electronic devices is two or more, the processor sets data transception by establishing a communication session between the one or more electronic devices.
