Abstract:
A mobile terminal and a method for controlling an application for a vehicle are provided. The mobile terminal includes an acceleration sensor configured to detect a motion of the mobile terminal, a magnetic sensor configured to detect a magnetic field, a first control unit configured to determine whether the detected motion and the detected magnetic field correspond to a pre-defined condition of entering a vehicle, and output a signal according to the determination, and a second control unit configured to execute the vehicle application based on the signal received from the first control unit.
Abstract:
A method of performing a connection between electronic devices and an electronic device thereof. The method may include: receiving a first signal including first information of the media device through first communication mode; generating a second signal including identification information of the media device by using at least a part of the first information in response to the first signal; transmitting the second signal to the media device through the first communication mode; and performing a connection with the media device by using the first information.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method of transmitting information in an electronic device a provided. The electronic device includes a communication unit that includes a first communication module and a second communication module, wherein the second communication module supports a low-power and short-range communication method; and a processor controls collection of information through the first communication module, and to transmit information related to the collected information through the second communication module.
Abstract:
A screen sharing method for an electronic device is provided. A first device communicates with a second device and shares a first screen. At the first device, a specific image is displayed superposed with the first screen, where the specific image is excluded from the first screen shared with the second electronic device. The second screen is thereafter shared with the second device. An intuitive user interface for editing a shared screen and thereafter sharing the edited screen is thus provided.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal auxiliary device. Information on at least one of the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal auxiliary device and security-related information on the at least one of the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal auxiliary device are stored. It is determined whether the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal auxiliary device exist within a predetermined available distance. If the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal auxiliary device exist within the predetermined available distance, it is determined whether the mobile terminal or the mobile terminal auxiliary device has been registered by using the stored information.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for processing Bluetooth data in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a first control unit for transmitting a predetermined data transmission condition, a second control unit for receiving and storing the data transmission condition, for determining whether the data transmission condition is satisfied when data is received from an accessory through Bluetooth communication, and for transmitting the received data to the first control unit when the data transmission condition is satisfied as a result of the determination.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for processing a touch input in the mobile terminal. The method includes transmitting information displayed in the mobile terminal to an external display device when connected to the external display device through a wired or wireless interface, receiving a first input, identifying a holding time of the first input when receiving a second input following the first input, and processing the second input according to the holding time of the identified first input. Accordingly, the touch input is analyzed and a subsequent drag input is performed as a pointer movement or a scroll operation in accordance with a holding time of the touch input, so that a user can conveniently select a desired item.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus may include an image forming unit configured to form an image on a printing medium and a control unit configured to perform at least one of a user authentication operation, an image forming preparation operation, and an image forming operation according to distance information between a portable electronic device and the image forming apparatus.
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.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus may include an image forming unit configured to form an image on a printing medium and a control unit configured to perform at least one of a user authentication operation, an image forming preparation operation, and an image forming operation according to distance information between a portable electronic device and the image forming apparatus.
