Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for interlinking applications/apparatuses are described. In one method herein, a terminal apparatus displays a User Interface (UI) screen of an operable/running application from among the applications stored on the terminal apparatus. When metadata is input into the operable/running application corresponding to the displayed UI screen, an application which is interlinked with the operable/running application is provided with all or some of the metadata which was input into the operable/running application.
Abstract:
A system and a method of sharing a profile image card of a user are provided. The method may be performed by a first device and includes obtaining a plurality of profile image cards of a first user of the first device; matching at least one profile image card of the first user from among the plurality of profile image cards with a second user of a second device; extracting link information about the at least one matched profile image card; and requesting to communicate with the second device and transmitting the link information about the at least one matched profile image card to the second device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for generating, managing, and sharing information related to moving-paths of a plurality of devices connected to the server. The server includes a communication interface that receives first information related to a moving path of a first device among the plurality of devices and receives second information related to a moving path of a second device among the plurality of devices, with the first device being different from the second device. A controller provides integrated history information based on the first information and the second information to at least one of the plurality of devices, with the plurality of devices being managed as a single group in the server.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network, a method of transmitting data in an ad hoc network, a server, and a data transmitting system are provided. The method of transmitting data performed by a server through a network includes receiving and storing data from a device of a first user; detecting that a device of a second user accesses the server; selecting data from the stored data based on user information; processing the selected data to be optimized for the device of the second user; and transmitting the processed data to the device of the second user, wherein the server is configured to combine data received from a plurality of devices of the first user and transmit the combined data to the device of the second user.
Abstract:
Provided are methods and apparatuses for providing contents via a network, in which original data of contents provided via a network can be traced, and contents that are modified according to performance of a contents receiving device is provided. Location information of original contents is added to metadata of contents provided via the network to thereby increase convenience of access to the original contents and modify attributes of contents that are provided, to be suitable for the performance of the contents receiving device.
Abstract:
A method of sharing profile image cards of a user of a device is provided. The method may be performed by a server and includes obtaining profile image cards indicating profiles of a first user of a first device related to a field of interest of the first user, categorizing the profile image cards based on pre-set categories, obtaining evaluation information of a second user of a second device regarding the profile image cards, determining rankings of the profile image cards for each of the categories based on the evaluation information, and recommending the profile image cards to at least one other device based on the rankings of the profile image cards.
Abstract:
Provided are a task switching method capable of rapidly and easily accessing a task of interest by using a button that may receive a touch-based input and a device for executing the task switching method. The device includes a button configured to receive an input; a display configured to display task switching screens; and a processor configured to set a task switching mode in response to the button receiving a first input, and control the display to display the task switching screens in response to the button receiving a second input.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling connection between devices is provided. The method includes detecting a first device, determining whether the first device is included in a device list, obtaining information related to the first device from a second device; and establishing a connection with the first device based on the information from the second device. The apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a device list, a communication unit configured to detect a first device, and a control unit configured to determine whether the first device is included in the device list, obtain information related to the first device from a second device via the communication unit; and establish a connection with the first device based on the information obtained from the second device.
Abstract:
A method of sharing a function via a network includes providing, to a first device, a device list including identification of a second device having a shared function which the first device is unable to perform, transmitting a response to the first device for authorizing a linkage with the first device, receiving multimedia content which is unplayable by the first device via the linkage, processing the multimedia content with the shared function to enable the first device to play the multimedia content, and transmitting result data comprising the processed multimedia content to the first device via the linkage.
