Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for moving electronic content between devices. In one implementation, an content-transmitting apparatus may include a transmitting unit configured to transmit content to a content-receiving apparatus. The content-transmitting apparatus may also include a determination unit configured to determine, in response to the transmission, whether first key information associated with the content-receiving apparatus corresponds to second key information associated with the content-transmitting apparatus. A receiving unit may be configured to receive a confirmation message from the content-receiving apparatus, and a confirmation unit may be configured to confirm whether the content is usable at the content-receiving apparatus, based on at least the confirmation message.
