Abstract

Message and data sharing may require additional levels of security beyond mere access authorization procedures. One example method of operation may include identifying data content associated with a data file, splitting the data content into data content sections, identifying potential recipient devices, and transmitting the data content sections to the potential recipient devices.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

identifying data content associated with a data file;

splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections, further determining a degree of sensitivity associated with each of the data content sections based on a message content of each such section;

identifying a plurality of potential recipient devices; and

transmitting the plurality of data content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices, wherein the message content portion with the highest degree of sensitivity is transmitted to the potential recipient device with the least vulnerability, the vulnerability being determined based on a comparison of communication mediums used by each of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices comprises identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices associated with a recipient.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein splitting the data content comprises splitting an image of the data content into a plurality of sub-images and transmitting the plurality of sub-images to the respective plurality of potential recipient devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

converting the data file to an image file; and

splitting the image file into a plurality of sub-image files.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections comprises copying one or more lines of content from the data file and transmitting the one or more lines to a first of the plurality of potential recipient devices and copying one or more additional lines of content from the data file and transmitting the one or more additional lines to at least one additional of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections comprises copying a predetermined time interval of content from the data file and transmitting the predetermined time interval of content to a first of the plurality of potential recipient devices and copying at least one additional predetermined time interval of content from the data file and transmitting the at least one additional predetermined time interval of content to at least one additional of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of potential recipient devices share a same user profile.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to:

identify data content associated with a data file;

split the data content into a plurality of data content sections further determining a degree of sensitivity associated with each of the data content sections based on a message content of each such section;

identify a plurality of potential recipient devices; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the plurality of data content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices, wherein the message content portion with the highest degree of sensitivity is transmitted to the potential recipient device with the least vulnerability, the vulnerability being determined based on a comparison of communication mediums used by each of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify the plurality of potential recipient devices by being configured to identify the plurality of potential recipient devices associated with a recipient.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein splitting the data content further comprises the processing being configured to split an image of the data content into a plurality of sub-images and the transmitter is further configured to transmit the plurality of sub-images to the respective plurality of potential recipient devices.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to convert the data file to an image file, and split the image file into a plurality of sub-image files.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections comprises the processor being further configured to:

copy one or more lines of content from the data file; and

transmit the one or more lines to a first of the plurality of potential recipient devices;

copy one or more additional lines of content from the data file; and

transmit the one or more additional lines to at least one additional of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections further comprises the processor being configured to:

copy a predetermined time interval of content from the data file;

transmit the predetermined time interval of content to a first of the plurality of potential recipient devices;

copy at least one additional predetermined time interval of content from the data file;

transmit the at least one additional predetermined time interval of content to at least one additional of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of potential recipient devices share a same user profile.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

identifying data content associated with a data file;

splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections further determining a degree of sensitivity associated with each of the data content sections based on a message content of each such section;

identifying a plurality of potential recipient devices; and

transmitting the plurality of data content sections to the plurality of potential recipient devices, wherein the message content portion with the highest degree of sensitivity is transmitted to the potential recipient device with the least vulnerability, the vulnerability being determined based on a comparison of communication mediums used by each of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices comprises identifying the plurality of potential recipient devices associated with a recipient.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein splitting the data content comprises splitting an image of the data content into a plurality of sub-images and transmitting the plurality of sub-images to the respective plurality of potential recipient devices.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

converting the data file to an image file; and

splitting the image file into a plurality of sub-image files.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections comprises copying one or more lines of content from the data file and transmitting the one or more lines to a first of the plurality of potential recipient devices and copying one or more additional lines of content from the data file and transmitting the one or more additional lines to at least one additional of the plurality of potential recipient devices.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein splitting the data content into a plurality of data content sections comprises copying a predetermined time interval of content from the data file and transmitting the predetermined time interval of content to a first of the plurality of potential recipient devices and copying at least one additional predetermined time interval of content from the data file and transmitting the at least one additional predetermined time interval of content to at least one additional of the plurality of potential recipient devices.
