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:
A terminal status-based content receiving method and an apparatus that receives a differential content based on a change in a status of a terminal are provided. The content receiving apparatus includes a low-power short range communication unit, and a controller configured to determine a status of the terminal, to include status information of the terminal in an advertising packet so as to periodically broadcast the advertising packet through the low-power short range communication unit, and to receive content corresponding to the status of the terminal from an external device that scans the advertising packet.
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 using an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving a request for a screen share mode in which to share a screen of a running application, transmitting display data resulting from running the application to a predetermined external output device, displaying a predetermined input interface on a display screen of the electronic device, and controlling operations of the application according to inputs to the displayed input interface.
