Abstract

An information transmission method performed by a device is provided. The method includes receiving a selection, performed by an external input device, of target information displayed on the device, extracting the target information corresponding to the selection of the external input device, and transmitting information corresponding to the target information to the external input device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information transmission method performed by a first device, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of a stylus about first target information displayed on the first device;
extracting the first target information corresponding to the selection performed by the stylus; and
transmitting, via a first communication interface, the first target information or metadata corresponding to the first target information to the stylus, wherein the transmitting comprises:
detecting a size of the first target information;
receiving an information transmission request signal corresponding to the first target information including information on an available storage capacity of the stylus;
if the size of the first target information is less than or equal to the available storage capacity of the stylus, transmitting, via the first communication interface, the first target information to the stylus, and
if the size of the first target information is greater than the available storage capacity of the stylus, transmitting, via the first communication interface, the metadata corresponding to the first target information to the stylus, wherein the metadata includes information for a second device to request and receive the first target information from the first device,

receiving, from the second device, a request for the first target information based on the metadata, and
transmitting, via a second wireless communication interface, the first target information to the second device.

2. The information transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the selection comprises a selection of at least one display area according to a user input.

3. The information transmission method of claim 2 , further comprising displaying information corresponding to the at least one display area.

4. The information transmission method of claim 3 , wherein the information corresponding to the at least one display area comprises at least one of highlight information, boundary line information, looped curve information, and drag based block information.

5. The information transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the selection comprises a selection of a plurality of display items or display locations displayed on the first device.

6. The information transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting of the information corresponding to the first target information comprises changing of the display status of the first target information on the first device, based on an information transmission speed between the first device and the stylus.

7. The information transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving authentication information of the stylus,
wherein the transmitting of the information corresponding to the first target information further comprises determining whether to transmit the information corresponding to the first target information based on the authentication information of the stylus.

8. The information transmission method of claim 7 , wherein the authentication information of the stylus is received from the stylus along with the information transmission request signal or is received from the stylus when communication is established between the first device and the stylus.

9. The information transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the first communication interface is based on short distance wireless communication.

10. The information transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information corresponding to second target information selected on the second device from the stylus; and
displaying, on the first device, the second target information based on the received information.

11. A first device comprising:
a first communication interface configured to transmit data to and receive data from a stylus; and
a processor configured to receive a selection of the stylus of first target information displayed on the first device, extract the first target information corresponding to the selection, and control the first communication interface to transmit the first target information or metadata corresponding to the first target information to the stylus,
wherein the controlling of the first communication interface to transmit the first target information or the metadata to the stylus comprises:
detecting a size of the target information;
receiving an information transmission request signal corresponding to the first target information including information on an available storage capacity of the stylus;
if the size of the target information is less than or equal to an available storage capacity of the stylus, transmitting, via the first communication interface, the first target information to the stylus, and
if the size of the target information is greater than the available storage capacity of the stylus, transmitting, via the first communication interface, the metadata corresponding to the first target information to the stylus, wherein the metadata includes information for a second device to request and receive the target information from the first device,

wherein the first device further comprises a second communication interface configured to transmit data to the second device and to receive data from the second device, and wherein the processor is further configured to control the second communication interface to receive, from the second device, a request for the target information based on the metadata, and transmit, via the second communication interface, the target information to the second device.

12. The first device of claim 11 , wherein the first communication interface comprises a short distance wireless communication interface.

13. The first device of claim 11 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein the processor is further configured to control the first communication interface to receive information corresponding to second target information selected on a second device from the stylus, and control the display to display the second target information based on the received information.

14. An information transmission method performed by a stylus, the information transmission method comprising:
transmitting, to a first device via a first communication interface, an information transmission request signal corresponding to first target information selected from a screen displayed on the first device including available storage capacity of the stylus;
receiving, from the first device via the first communication interface, first target information selected from a screen displayed on the first device or metadata corresponding to the first target information;
storing the received first target information or the received metadata in the stylus; and
transmitting the stored information to at least one of the first device and a second device,
wherein the receiving of the first target information or the metadata comprises:
receiving, via the first communication interface, the first target information when the size of the target information is less than or equal to the available storage capacity of the stylus, and
receiving, via the first communication interface, the metadata corresponding to the first target information when the size of the target information is greater than the available storage capacity of the stylus, wherein the metadata includes information for the second device to request and receive the first target information from the first device.

15. The information transmission method of claim 14 , wherein the first communication interface is based on a short distance wireless communication interface.
