Abstract

An operation method and a mobile terminal connected to an electronic device are provided. A wireless communication interface of the electronic device communicates with a mobile device. Content is displayed on an application on a display of the electronic device. A user input is obtained for selecting a piece of content from the displayed content on the application. Based on selecting the piece of content, a user interface on which the selected piece of content is displayed, is displayed on the application as content of a message. A recipient phone number is obtained through the user interference displayed on the application. Based on obtaining the recipient phone number, information for requesting that the mobile device transmits the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number, is transmitted toward the mobile device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display to display content on an application;
a wireless communication interface; and
at least one processor configured to:
control the wireless communication interface to communicate with a mobile device;
obtain a user input for selecting a piece of content from the displayed content on the application;
based on selecting the piece of content, display, on the application, a user interface on which the selected piece of content is displayed as content of a message;
obtain a recipient phone number through the user interference displayed on the application; and
based on obtaining the recipient phone number, control the wireless communication interface to transmit, toward the mobile device, information for requesting that the mobile device transmits the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the user input for selecting the piece of content displayed on the application is obtained based on placing a mouse point on the piece of content displayed on the application.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the user input for selecting the piece of content displayed on the application is obtained based on a dragging input, by a mouse, on the piece of content displayed on the application.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
display the selected piece of content as a block.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to synchronize address information stored in the electronic device with address information stored in the mobile device.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the information includes information corresponding to the selected piece of content, and information to execute a function to transmit, by the mobile device, the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display the user interface indicating that the mobile device transmits the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number based on executing the function.

8. A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
communicating, by a wireless communication interface of the electronic device, with a mobile device;
displaying content on an application on a display of the electronic device;
obtaining a user input for selecting a piece of content from the displayed content on the application;
based on selecting the piece of content, displaying, on the application, a user interface on which the selected piece of content is displayed as content of a message;
obtaining a recipient phone number through the user interference displayed on the application; and
based on obtaining the recipient phone number, transmitting, toward the mobile device, information for requesting that the mobile device transmits the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user input for selecting the piece of content displayed on the application is obtained based on placing a mouse point on the piece of content displayed on the application.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user input for selecting the piece of content displayed on the application is obtained based on a dragging input, by a mouse, on the piece of content displayed on the application.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising displaying the selected piece of content as a block.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising synchronizing address information stored in the electronic device with address information stored in the mobile device.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the information includes information corresponding to the selected piece of content, and information to execute a function to transmit, by the mobile device, the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprises displaying the user interface indicating that the mobile device transmits the selected piece of content to the recipient phone number based on executing the function.
