Data sharing between networked smart devices is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to a method for data sharing with one or more associated smart devices via a network. The method comprises displaying, on a display unit of the smart device, an image for each one of the associated smart devices within coverage of the network and an image of shared data. The method also comprises effecting a change in a first image for a first smart device of the associated smart devices when the first smart device is targeted as a target device for the data sharing. The method further comprises communicating the shared data with the first smart device via the network when, on the display unit, the image of the shared data is moved to or from a domain of the first image of the first smart device.

The smart device of claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to transmit position data of the still image data with respect to the image of the first smart device to the first smart device. 9. The smart device of claim 8, wherein the position data is processed by the first smart device to display the still image data on a designated area of a first display unit for the first smart device. 10. The smart device of claim 1, wherein the shared data is moving image data. 11. The smart device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to maintain a control of the moving image data while the moving image data is displayed on a first display unit of the first smart device. 12. The smart device of claim 11, wherein the control of the moving image data comprises play, stop, fast forward, and rewind of the moving image data. 13. The smart device of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to continuously display the moving image data on the display unit when the moving image data is released by the first smart device. 14. The smart device of claim 1, wherein the image of the shared data is displayed on a first display unit of the first smart device when the image of the shared data is moved on the display unit onto or within the predetermined distance of the first image of the first smart device. 15. The smart device of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to cancel the shared data transmitted to the first smart device when the image of the shared data is moved on the display unit off of or a predetermined distance away from the first image of the first smart device on the display unit. 16. The smart device of claim 15, wherein the processor is yet further configured to transmit the shared data to a second smart device of the at least one associated device and seamlessly display the image of the shared data on a second display unit of the second smart device when the image of the shared data is moved on the display unit onto or within the predetermined distance of a second image of the second smart device. 17. The smart device of claim 15, wherein the image of the shared data is displayed on the first display unit of the first smart device in part and on the second display unit of the second smart device in part when the image of the shared data is extended over the first image of the first smart device and the second image of the second smart device displayed on the display unit. 18. The smart device of claim 1, wherein the image of the shared data displayed on the first display unit of the first smart device is a thumbnail image of the shared data. 19.
