How to deal with the settings and usage of AirDrop?｜ Time & Space by KDDI

AirDrop is a function that allows you to send and receive various data such as photos, location information, and URL between nearby Apple devices.Not only the iPhone, but also the photos taken on the iPhone can be sent to the MacBook, and conversely, the map information examined on the MacBook can be immediately shared with the iPhone.It is introduced from iOS 7, and communication is performed wirelessly such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Because there is no capacity limit, it is a great advantage that a large number of photos and heavy videos can be easily interacted.There is no need to face devices like infrared communication in Garakae, and it is unrelated to the annoyance.The data is highly secure because the data is encrypted at the same time.

The feature of AirDrop is that it can be communicated at high speed.The reason is that it adopts a "peer -to -pier (PTOP, P2P) method" that connects the devices directly.

In the exchange of regular data (client server method) by LINE and email, data is sent via a huge server of a company.On the other hand, in the peer -to -pier system, the device is directly connected without going through the server.For this reason, for example, there is an advantage that users are concentrated on the server and traffic congestion occurs, and data exchanges are performed smoothly.

It is also important to use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when communication.In AirDrop, the connection between the devices is performed by Bluetooth, and then the communication route is switched to Wi-Fi.This is a right place in the right place, so it combines the goodness of Bluetooth, which emphasizes stable connection, and the goodness of Wi-Fi, which has a wide and high-speed radius.
