Abstract

Provided are a first device for transmitting data, a second device for receiving data, and a system including the same. The first device includes: a controller configured to obtain biometric information of the second user; and a transceiver configured to transmit, to the device of the second user, the data and to transmit, to the device of the second user, the obtained biometric information to control an access to the data by the second user.

Claims (56)

1. A device of a first user for transmitting data to a device of a second user, the device of the first user comprising:

a controller configured to obtain and to store, in association with the second user distinct from the first user, biometric information of the second user; and

a transceiver configured to transmit, to the device of the second user, the data and to transmit, to the device of the second user, the obtained biometric information to control an access to the data by the second user.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage configured to store the biometric information of the second user,

wherein the controller is configured to obtain the biometric information from the storage in response to a selection, identified as being input by the first user, of the second user.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller is configured to combine the data and the obtained biometric information into a single file to control the access to the data; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit the single file to the device of the second user.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit the data separately from the obtained biometric information.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller is configured to encrypt the data using the obtained biometric information; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit the encrypted data as well as the obtained biometric information to the device of the second user.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller is configured to encrypt the data using an encryption key based on the obtained biometric information; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit the encrypted data.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller is configured to encrypt the data using an encryption key; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit, to the device of the second user, the data, and to transmit, to the device of the second user, the obtained biometric information to control an access to the encryption key.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit, to the device of the second user, the encryption key or information for obtaining the encryption key.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller is configured to encrypt the data and the obtained biometric information using at least one encryption key; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit, to the device of the second user, the data, and to transmit, to the device of the second user, the obtained biometric information to control an access to the data.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit, to the device of the second user, the at least one encryption key or information for obtaining the at least one encryption key.

11. A device of a second user for receiving data from a device of a first user, the device of the second user comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive, from the device of the first user, data to which access is controlled based on first biometric information of the second user; and

a controller configured to obtain second biometric information of the second user and to access the received data using the obtained second biometric information.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein:

the transceiver is configured to receive, from the device of the first user, the first biometric information; and

the controller is configured to access the received data in response to the obtained second biometric information corresponding to the received first biometric information.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a single file comprising the data and the first biometric information.

14. The device of claim 12 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive the data separately from the first biometric information.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein:

the received data is encrypted by the first biometric information; and

the controller is configured to access the data in response to the obtained second biometric information decrypting the data.

16. The device of claim 11 , wherein:

the received data is encrypted using an encryption key based on the first biometric information; and

the controller is configured to access the data in response to a decryption key based on the obtained second biometric information decrypting the data.

17. The device of claim 11 , wherein:

the received data is encrypted using an encryption key;

the transceiver is configured to receive, from the device of the first user, the first biometric information; and

the controller is configured to access the encryption key using the obtained second biometric information.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein:

the transceiver is configured to receive, from the device of the first user, information for obtaining the encryption key; and

the controller is configured to access the information for obtaining the encryption key using the obtained second biometric information.

19. A system for transmitting data between devices, the system comprising:

a device of a first user, comprising:

a first controller configured to obtain first biometric information of a second user, and

a first transceiver configured to transmit the data and to transmit the obtained first biometric information to control an access to the data by the second user; and

a device of the second user, comprising:

a second transceiver configured to receive the data transmitted by the first transceiver, and

a second controller configured to obtain second biometric information of the second user and to access the received data using the obtained second biometric information.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein:

the second transceiver is configured to receive the first biometric information transmitted by the first transceiver; and

the second controller is configured to access the received data in response to the obtained second biometric information corresponding to the received first biometric information.

21. The system as claimed in claim 19 , further comprising a server configured to receive the data transmitted by the first transceiver, and to transmit the received data to the second transceiver.
