Abstract

When a host mobile electronic device and a client mobile electronic device connect to each other for at least a second time, the client mobile electronic device refers to an entry corresponding to the host mobile electronic device for retrieve required information to wirelessly connect to the host mobile electronic device and to connect to an application installed on the host mobile electronic device under authentication. Therefore, the client mobile electronic device can be relieved from the burden of requesting required information for authentication repeatedly.

Claims

1. A media sharing method utilizing a wireless communication protocol, comprising:

a first mobile electronic device scanning a photo filmed by itself or a video taped by itself, and detecting whether there is at least one facial pattern on the photo or the video;

the first mobile electronic device broadcasting a polling signal based on a wireless communication protocol;

the first mobile electronic device confirming whether there is a second mobile electronic device utilizing the wireless communication protocol, wherein the confirmation is performed by receiving a response signal sent by the second mobile electronic device in response to the polling signal;

comparing at least one facial pattern characteristic on the photo or the video with at least one facial pattern characteristic stored on the second mobile electronic device and/or with at least one facial pattern characteristic related to a user of the second mobile electronic device stored in the first mobile electronic device when the first mobile electronic device receives the response signal and when there is at least one facial pattern detected on the photo or the video; and

the first mobile electronic device sending the photo or the video to the second mobile electronic device when a result of comparing the at least one facial pattern characteristic on the photo or the video with the at least one facial pattern characteristic stored on the second mobile electronic device and/or with the at least one facial pattern characteristic related to the user of the second mobile electronic device stored in the first mobile electronic device is positive about matching.
