For now, near-field wireless technologyNFC
not included in future i featuresPhone 5Sif we stick to the latest rumors seen
in this
article.
However, this does not prevent Apple from thinking about a system that would allow
users to give away content obtained from iTunes or the App
Store via NFC communication as shown in this patent.
Apple would therefore consider the possibility that users could
Send playlists or downloaded movies between iPhone.
Indeed, the patent describes two methods of making content gifts
which of course involve digital rights management (DRM) and keys
authentication.
Thus, while only the possibility via e-mail exists today, a
gift could be simply made via NFC. Everything will be processed by iTunes which
will verify the authorization key so that the recipient has their gift
which he can download immediately or later.
The second method turns out to be more interesting since it concerns the gift
of a file already owned.
The donor can send a copy of a currently playing song by
simply pressing a dedicated button. The donee then receives a
authentication notification which will allow him to download the
chanson.
If there is no internet connection, a locked version will be sent until
that the rights are purchased by the donor. Another option allows
to simply send the key without the file for download
subsequent.
Now, for this sharing system to become reality, it will be necessary
firstly that Apple develops more extensive management of rights on
contents.
Next, near-field technology will need toNFC
arrives in the iPhone, and, tolatest
news, it is not won for the iPhone 5Sand we will therefore have to wait
at least the iPhone 6 in 2014.
