Abstract:
A method of transmitting contents in a portable terminal is provided. The method includes allowing a portable terminal of a transmitter to be connected to a portable terminal of a receiver by a control communication, allowing the portable terminal of the transmitter to select a type of the data transmission communication with the portable terminal of the receiver through the control communication, allowing the portable terminal of the transmitter to transmit setting data corresponding to the selected type of data transmission communication to the portable terminal of the receiver through the control communication, and allowing the portable terminal of the transmitter to be connected to the portable terminal of the receiver by the control communication and to transmit the content which are requested to be transmitted, to the portable terminal of the receiver.
Abstract:
A method of an electronic device for making a request for a scan via short range communication and the electronic device is provided. The method includes periodically broadcasting a scan request for one or more short range communication devices; and receiving a scan result of a scan device for the one or more short range communication devices from the scan device in response to the scan request. The electronic device includes a communication module configured to broadcast a scan request for one or more short range communication devices and receive a scan result of a scan device for the one or more short range communication devices from the scan device in response to the scan request; and a processor configured to control the communication module to periodically broadcast the scan request.
Abstract:
A method for operating of an electronic device includes: connecting communication with an external electronic device; identifying state information and service information of the electronic device and the external electronic device; and selecting at least one communication method based on the state information and the service information. An electronic device includes a communication module and a processor. The processor is configured to select at least one communication method from a plurality of communication methods based on state information and service information of the electronic device and the external electronic device
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for transmitting content in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes searching for devices, to each of which content is to be transmitted, by a first communication module, and displaying information indicating devices discovered as a result of the search; determining, when a particular portable terminal to which the content is to be transmitted is selected among the displayed information, whether the selected particular portable terminal is currently performing a communication connection with another portable terminal; requesting and receiving, through a second communication module, in response to determining that the particular portable terminal is currently performing the communication connection with the another portable terminal, an address of a device matched to a selected transmission method; and making a communication connection with the particular portable terminal; transmitting the content to the particular portable terminal, through a third communication module matched to the selected transmission method.
