Abstract:
Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device includes at least one processor for executing a plurality of operating systems; and a mobile high-definition link (MHL) module. The operating systems include a normal operating system for controlling a content service and a secure operating system for receiving information for controlling digital rights management (DRM) content from the MHL module and controlling a DRM service.
Abstract:
An apparatus performs a method for connecting a mobile terminal to an external device. The method includes determining a connection method of the external device among a plurality of connection methods based on values of at least two ports among a plurality of ports included in a connector, and switching at least one switch included in the connection unit so as to connect to the external device according to the determined connection method of the external device.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method are provided. The apparatus includes a connector to connect with an electronic device external to the apparatus, and a processor configured to identify a connection with the electronic device via the connector, receive, using a first communication scheme, a message from the electronic device based at least in part on the identifying, determine, based at least in part on the message, whether the electronic device supports a second communication scheme, and establish a communication link corresponding to the second communication scheme with the electronic device based at least in part on a determination that the electronic device supports the second communication scheme.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of recognizing an external device in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a connector connected to the external device, and a controller configured to transmit a connection message, if the portable terminal is connected to the external device through the connector, the connection message asking whether the external device supports a second connection scheme to the external device by using a first connection scheme, configured to receive a connection response message as a response to the connection message from the external device, configured to determine based on the connection response message whether the external device supports the second connection scheme, and configured to recognize at least one device supporting the second connection scheme in the external device by activating the second connection scheme, if the external device supports the second connection scheme.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting and receiving data in a data communication system. The method includes receiving certain multimedia data from a portable terminal using a first data communication scheme; transmitting the certain multimedia data to an external device; receiving control data corresponding to the certain multimedia data from the external device based on the first data communication scheme; converting the control data into a data format of a second data communication scheme; generating data including the converted control data; and transmitting the data to the portable terminal.
