Provided is a method of a host device managing at least one external device connected to the host device through a management server. The method includes: obtaining measurement information measured by the at least one external device; requesting authorization by the management server; transmitting the obtained measurement information to the management server when the authentication succeeds; receiving management information for managing the at least one external device, where the management information is generated based on the measurement information by the management server; and managing the at least one external device based on the received management information.

Method of managing external devices, method of operating external device, host device, management server, and external device

A method for executing an application based on a connection between devices by automatically connecting devices, and a device, are disclosed. The method includes: detecting an occurrence of first short distance communication between at least one external device and the device; receiving connection information which relates to a second short distance communication mode and application information which relates to the at least one external device from the at least one external device via the first short distance communication; establishing a connection based on the second short distance communication mode between the at least one external device and the device based on the received connection information which relates to the second short distance communication mode; and controlling the at least one external device via the second short distance communication mode by using an application which is executable based on the received application information.

Method and device for executing application

A method of controlling an external apparatus includes receiving a user input information; obtaining apparatus information regarding a plurality of external apparatuses; selecting one or more external apparatuses, from the plurality of external apparatuses, which is communicable with and controllable based on the user input information; generating a control information for controlling the one or more external apparatuses based on a user's input and the apparatus information; and transmitting a control command to the one or more external apparatuses, the control command being generated based on the received control information.

System and method of controlling external apparatus connected with device

Provided are an electronic apparatus and a method of outputting content. The method includes establishing a wireless communication connection with a second electronic apparatus, receiving apparatus information of the external apparatus from the second electronic apparatus, requesting the second electronic apparatus to establish a wireless communication connection between the first electronic apparatus and the external apparatus, receiving a response to the requesting from the second electronic apparatus, establishing a wireless communication connection between the first electronic apparatus and the external apparatus based on the response; and outputting content by using an executed second application of the first electronic apparatus via the wireless communication connection between the first electronic apparatus and the external apparatus.

Electronic apparatus and method of outputting content by the electronic apparatus

A mobile device includes a memory configured to store a program; and a processor configured to control one or more external apparatuses by executing the program. The program includes commands which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to identify the one or more external apparatuses communicable with and controllable by the mobile device, from a plurality of external apparatuses; provide apparatus information of the one or more external apparatuses, to a server; receive, from the server, control information for controlling the one or more external apparatuses for a user's intention; and transmit a control command to the one or more external apparatuses based on the received control information.

A method of executing an application by a first terminal is provided. The first terminal executes an application with at least one external device connected to the first terminal, and the first terminal transmits, to a second terminal, information about the application and connection information regarding the at least one external device. The second terminal establishes a connection with respect to the at least one external device based on the connection information, and executes the application with the at least one external device connected to the second terminal based on the information about the application.
