Patent attributes
A system and method for sharing content data between networked devices in communication with a server processor circuit via a data network is disclosed. The method involves, in response to a request received at the server from a first networked device to upload content data, causing the content data to be written to a storage location at a content storage address. The method also involves causing the server processor circuit to store the content storage address in a database managed by the server. The method further involves causing the server processor circuit to associate an access key with the content storage address in the database and to determine and store an expiry for the access key in the database, the expiry facilitating a determination as to whether the access key remains actively associated with the content data or has expired and is no longer associated with the content data. The method also involves receiving a content access request at the server from a second networked device to access the content data uploaded by the first networked device, the content access request including a request access key. The method further involves causing the server processor circuit to perform a database query and if there is an unexpired access key in the database that matches the request access key, authorizing the second networked device to access the content data.
