Abstract

A method of controlling an external terminal from a terminal including receiving screen information from the external terminal; displaying the screen information as is displayed in the external terminal; selecting content information from the screen information, wherein the content information exists at recognized location; transmitting the location information of the selected content information to the external terminal; and receiving the selected content information corresponding to the transmitted location information from the external terminal. The location information includes coordinates information, which is relative coordinates of the selected content information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of controlling a first device and a second device, the method comprising:
establishing communication between the first device and the second device;
transmitting first data from the first device to the second device;
receiving the first data by the second device;
reproducing first screen information based on the first data on a screen of the second device;
receiving, in the second device, an input signal for selecting content information in the first screen information reproduced on the screen of the second device;
transmitting location information corresponding to the selected content information from the second device to the first device;
receiving the location information and executing a function based on the location information in the first device;
transmitting second data from the first device to the second device, wherein the second data is based on the executed function; and
reproducing second screen information based on the second data on the screen of the second device,
wherein the first data is related to contents displayed in the first device before receiving the location information from the second device,
wherein the second data is related to contents displayed in the first device after receiving the location information from the second device and executing the function based on the location information from the second device,
wherein the location information includes coordinate information,
wherein the coordinate information is relative coordinates of the selected content information in the first screen information reproduced on the screen of the second device,
wherein the establishing communication between the first device and the second device further comprises the first device searching for nearby devices to establish communication and to authenticate access, and
wherein the establishing communication between the first device and the second device further comprises the second device receiving an authentication access request from the first device and the second device granting the authentication access request for sending and receiving information with the first device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device is a mobile device capable of wirelessly communicating with other display devices.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input signal is received via an input device adapted to move a cursor and select content from the first screen information.

4. A method of controlling a first device from a second device, the method comprising:
establishing communication with the first device;
receiving first data from the first device;
reproducing first screen information based on the first data on a screen of the second device;
receiving an input signal for selecting content information in the first screen information reproduced on the screen of the second device;
transmitting location information corresponding to the selected content information to the first device for executing a function based on the location information in the first device;
receiving second data from the first device, wherein the second data is based on the executed function; and
reproducing second screen information based on the second data received from the first device on the screen of the second device,
wherein the first data is related to contents displayed in the first device before receiving the location information from the second device,
wherein the second data is related to contents displayed in the first device after receiving the location information from the second device and executing the function based on the location information from the second device,
wherein the location information includes coordinate information,
wherein the coordinate information is relative coordinates of the selected content information in the first screen information reproduced on the screen of the second device,
wherein the establishing coomunication with the first device further comprises the second device receiving a communication request from the first device, and
wherein the establishing communication with the first device further comprises the second device receiving an authentication access request from the first device and the second device granting the authentication access request for sending and receiving information with the first device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the input signal is received via an input device adapted to move a cursor and select content from the first screen information.

6. A second device comprising:
a wireless communication unit configured to establish communication with a first device, wherein the wireless communication unit is further configured to receive first data;
a display unit configured to reproduce first screen information based on the first data on a screen of the second device; and
a control unit configured to receive an input signal for selecting content information and transmit location information corresponding to the selected content information to the first device for executing a function based on the location information in the first device, and receive second data from the first device, wherein the second data is based on the executed function;
wherein the control unit is further configured to control the display unit to reproduce second screen information based on the second data on the screen of the second device,
wherein the first data is related to contents displayed in the first device before receiving the location information from the second device,
wherein the second data is related to contents displayed in the first device after receiving the location information from the second device and executing the function based on the location information from the second device,
wherein the location information includes coordinate information,
wherein the coordinate information is relative coordinates of the selected content information in the first screen information reproduced on the screen of the second device,
wherein the establishing communication with the first device further comprises the second device receiving a communication request from the first device, and
wherein the establishing communication with the first device further comprises the second device receiving an authentication access request from the first device and the second device granting the authentication access request for sending and receiving information with the first device.

7. The second device of claim 6 , wherein the wireless communication unit is further configured to establish communication with the first device and to transceive data with the first device.

8. The second device of claim 6 , wherein the input signal is received via an input device configured to move a cursor and select content from first screen information.

9. A method of controlling a second device from a first device, the method comprising:
establishing communication with the second device;
transmitting first data from the first device to the second device for reproducing first screen information based on the first data on a screen of the second device;
receiving location information on content information selected from the second device and executing a function based on the received location information; and
transmitting second data to the second device for reproducing second screen information based on the second data on the screen of the second device, wherein the second data is based on the executed function,
wherein the first data is related to contents displayed in the first device before receiving the location information from the second device,
wherein the second data is related to contents displayed in the first device after receiving the location inform
