Abstract

An electronic device for executing an active notification for an interaction between electronic devices includes: a memory for matching a predetermined event and a predetermined service, and storing the same; a communication unit for executing the transmission and reception of an active notification, and information associated with the predetermined service, with external electronic devices over a network, based on whether the predetermined event occurs; and a controller for executing a process in order to recognize, using the communication unit, the entrance of an external electronic device into the network, to receive the active notification from the external electronic device, to determine whether to execute the predetermined service based on the received active notification, to exchange the information associated with the predetermined service with the external electronic device when it is determined that the predetermined service is to be executed, and to execute the predetermined service based on the information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device for executing an active notification for an interaction between electronic devices, the electronic device comprising:
a memory configured to store a matching predetermined event and predetermined service; a communication unit configured to transmit and receive an active notification and information associated with the predetermined service, with external electronic devices over a network, based on whether the predetermined event occurs; and a controller configured to:
recognize, using the communication unit, the entrance of an external electronic device into the network,
receive the active notification from the external electronic device,
determine whether to execute the predetermined service based on the received active notification,
exchange the information associated with the predetermined service with the external electronic device when it is determined that the predetermined service is to be executed, and
execute the predetermined service based on the information.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined service includes configuring settings with the external electronic device.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein, when the received active notification is a notification to induce configuring settings, the information includes a driver and application download address.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
when an execution command for the predetermined service is transmitted to the external electronic device, exchange information required for executing the predetermined service with the external electronic device.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the active notification is received when the external electronic device recognizes that the predetermined event which is matched to the predetermined service occurs.

6 . A method of executing an active notification for an interaction between electronic devices, the method comprising:
recognizing entrance of an external electronic device into a network; receiving an active notification from the external electronic device; determining whether to execute a predetermined service based on the received activation notification; exchanging, with the external electronic device, information required for executing the predetermined service when it is determined that the predetermined service is to be executed; and executing the predetermined service based on the received information.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined service includes configuring settings with the external electronic device.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein, when the received active notification is a notification to induce configuring settings, the information includes a driver and application download address.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the exchanging is executed when an execution command for the predetermined service is transmitted to the external electronic device.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the active notification is received when the external electronic device recognizes that a predetermined event that is matched to the predetermined service occurs.

11 . An electronic device for executing an active notification for an interaction between electronic devices, the electronic device comprising:
a memory configured to store a matching predetermined event and predetermined service, and storing the same; a communication unit configured to transmit and receive an active notification and information associated with the predetermined service with external electronic devices over a network, based on whether the predetermined event occurs; and a controller configure to:
execute an entrance into the network,
inform the external electronic device of whether the entrance is executed,
transmit an active notification to the external electronic device,
receive, from the external electronic device, an execution command for the predetermined service based on the active notification, and
exchange information required for the external electronic device to execute the predetermined service.

12 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined service includes configuring settings with the external electronic device.

13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the active notification is transmitted when the predetermined event that is matched to the predetermined service is recognized.

14 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein, when the received active notification is a notification to induce configuring settings, the information includes a driver and application download address.

15 . A method of executing an active notification for an interaction between electronic devices, the method comprising:
entering a network, and informing an external electronic device of whether the entrance is executed; transmitting an active notification to the external electronic device; receiving an execution command for a predetermined service from the external electronic device; and exchanging, with the external electronic device, information required to execute the predetermined service.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the predetermined service configures settings with the external electronic device.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the active notification is transmitted when the predetermined event that is matched to the predetermined service is recognized.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein, when the received active notification is a notification to induce configuring settings, the information includes a driver and application download address.
