Abstract

Embodiments of a system and method for sharing media content are generally described herein. A method may include receiving, from a first clearing device, a first indication of approval for sharing media content from an originating device, the first indication identifying the originating device, sending an encryption key for sharing the media content to the originating device, receiving an encrypted file, the encrypted file including the media content encrypted using the encryption key from the originating device, sending the encryption key and the encrypted file to a second clearing device, receiving, from the second clearing device, a second indication of approval for viewing media content, the second indication identifying a destination device, and sending, in response to receiving the second indication of approval, the encryption key and the encrypted file to the destination device.

send the encryption key for sharing the media content to the originating device;

send the encryption key and the encrypted file to a second clearing device;

send, in response to receiving the second indication of approval, the encryption key and the encrypted file to the destination device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein to receive the first indication of approval for sharing the media content, the receiver is to receive a hash value for the encrypted media content and wherein the database is further to store the hash value.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the receiver is further to receive a request for sharing media content, the request including unknown encrypted media content;

further comprising a processor in communication with the database, the processor to determine that the unknown encrypted media content corresponds to the media content using the hash value; and

wherein the transmitter is further to send the unknown encrypted media content to the destination device or the second clearing device without receiving approval from the first clearing device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the receiver is further to receive a request for sharing media content, the request including similar encrypted media content and the encrypted media content;

further comprising a processor in communication with the database, the processor to determine that content of the similar encrypted media content is within a deviation tolerance of content of the encrypted media content using at least one of a skin detection algorithm, a frame comparison algorithm, and a banned word list detection algorithm; and

wherein the transmitter is further to send, in response to determining the similar encrypted media content is within the deviation tolerance, the encryption key and the similar encrypted media content to the destination device without receiving approval from the first clearing device.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is further to insert an advertisement into the encrypted file before sending the encryption key and the encrypted file to the second clearing device.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a processor to create the encryption key.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein to store the encrypted file in the database, the database is to store the encryption key in the database.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein to delete the encrypted file from the database, the database is to delete the encryption key from the database.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein to send the encryption key and the similar encrypted media content to the destination device, the transmitter is to send the encryption key and the similar encrypted media content to the destination device without receiving approval from the second clearing device.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein to receive the first indication, the receiver is to receive an email from an account of an owner of the first clearing device.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the originating device is controlled by a ward and the first clearing device is controlled by a caretaker of the ward.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein to send the encryption key and the encrypted file to the second clearing device, the transmitter is to send a summary of the media content.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the summary includes at least one of:

an image collage, analytics about the media content, a similarity score for the media content to other media content, a rating, and a change log.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein to receive, from the first clearing device, the first indication of approval for sharing the media content, the receiver is to receive an automatic approval based on a predetermined approval selection, the predetermined approval selection corresponding to an app used to originate the media content at the origination device.

15. A method for sharing media content, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first clearing device, a first indication of approval for sharing media content from an originating device, the first indication identifying the originating device;

sending an encryption key for sharing the media content to the originating device;

receiving an encrypted file, the encrypted file including the media content encrypted using the encryption key from the originating device;

storing the encrypted file in a database;

sending the encryption key and the encrypted file to a second clearing device;

receiving, from the second clearing device, a second indication of approval for viewing media content, the second indication identifying a destination device;

sending, in response to receiving the second indication of approval, the encryption key and the encrypted file to the destination device; and

deleting the encrypted file from the database.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising inserting an advertisement into the encrypted file before sending the encryption key and the encrypted file to the second clearing device.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising creating the encryption key.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein storing the encrypted file in the database includes storing the encryption key in the database.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein deleting the encrypted file from the database includes deleting the encryption key from the database.

20. At least one machine readable medium, including instructions, which when performed by a machine, cause the machine to:

receive, from a first clearing device, a first indication of approval for sharing media content from an originating device, the first indication identifying the originating device;

receive an encrypted file, the encrypted file including the media content encrypted using an encryption key from the originating device;

receive, from a second clearing device, a second indication of approval for viewing media content, the second indication identifying a destination device;

temporarily store the encrypted file in the database after receipt by the receiver;

delete the encrypted file from the database in response to the encrypted file being sent by the transmitter; and

send the encryption key for sharing the media content to the originating device;

send the encryption key and the encrypted file to a second clearing device;

send, in response to receiving the second indication of approval, the encryption key and the encrypted file to the destination device.
