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:
An electronic device and a method for controlling a payment function of an input means are provided. The operating method of the electronic device includes receiving a packet periodically transmitted from an input means, determining a distance from the electronic device to the input means based on determining a signal reception strength of the packet, extracting a distance value from storage associated with a matching reception strength and sending to the input means a signal according to the extracted distance value of the input means and the received packet.
Abstract:
A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes selecting at least one particular location in content displayed on a display, identifying text included in the at least one particular location, and executing at least one program based on the text.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling connectivity information in an electronic device. The method includes receiving connectivity information on at least one wireless device, analyzing the received connectivity information, and establishing a connection with a neighbor wireless device by using the connectivity information. A first electronic device may store connectivity information with respect to the plurality of wireless devices. A second electronic device can receive a connectivity information file transmitted from the first electronic device. In the case where a second electronic device attempts to initially establish a connection with the plurality of neighbor wireless devices, the second electronic device can easily establish a connection with the plurality of wireless devices by decoding a connectivity information file transmitted from the first electronic device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for receiving content in a terminal, by which the terminal can receive, with low power consumption, content from an adjacent service provider by using a wireless communication technology. A low-power short-range communication unit; and a controller for controlling the low-power short-range communication unit to broadcast an advertising packet including information of the terminal at regular intervals, and control the low-power short-range communication unit so as to connect to a particular service provider which has scanned the advertising packet. A control operation is then performed so as to receive content from the particular service provider.
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:
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.
