Abstract:
A system and method are provided for transmitting messages related to operations of electronic devices. A management apparatus is notified of an event that occurred in a specific one of a plurality of electronic devices. The management apparatus determines one or more target devices in response to notification of the event that occurred in the specific electronic device. An event message corresponding to the event that occurred in the specific electronic device is created. The management apparatus transmits the event message to the one or more target devices. The one or more target devices output the received event message.

Abstract:
A system and method for controlling an electronic device based on a state of the electronic device and external information. A system includes an electronic device for providing a search word; a server for providing operation information for operating the electronic device based on the search word; and a managing device for acquiring the operation information corresponding to the search word, and controlling the electronic device based on the acquired operation information.
Abstract:
A content sharing system may include an electronic device and a display device for sharing content of the electronic device. The electronic device may be configured to transmit first information, including a request to receive content or a request to generate a new channel for content output, to the display device via a server, which provides a service for managing at least one external device registered for each piece of subscriber information, when it is confirmed that a user of the display device is subscribed to the service and the display device is registered to the server. The display device is configured to perform at least one of storing the content or generating the new channel for content output upon receiving the first information via the server.
