A wearable device includes a user information obtainer configured to obtain user information, a controller configured to selectively generate, in response to a user being authenticated based on the user information, an encryption key for encryption of content of an external device; and a communicator configured to transmit the encryption key to the external device.

Method and device for encrypting or decrypting content

A method of providing data by a first electronic device is provided. The method includes connecting with a plurality of electronic devices, transmitting information on data that is able to be provided to the plurality of electronic devices by the first electronic device, to a second electronic device from among the plurality of electronic devices that is selected as a host device for transmitting the data to at least one of the plurality of electronic devices instead of the first electronic device, and transmitting the data to the second electronic device.

Method and electronic device for providing data

A mobile terminal and a method operating the same are provided. The method includes generating a list of a service that may be provided to an external via a Local Area Network (LAN), transmitting the generated service list to the external terminal, receiving a request for providing a service that is included in the service list from the external terminal, and connecting the mobile terminal to the external terminal via the LAN and providing the requested service to the external terminal.

Mobile terminal and method of operating the same

Disclosed is a method of controlling a display of an electronic device. The method may include: determining a current situation of the electronic device by using at least one piece of state information on the electronic device and surrounding information on the electronic device by the electronic device; and turning on or off at least some areas of the display according to the determined current situation by the electronic device.

Method of controlling display of electronic device and electronic device thereof

An apparatus and method for recognizing an indoor zone in which a user is located by using an Earth's magnetic field that is generated naturally instead of the conventional method of combining a magnetic field generator and a magnetic field sensor. The apparatus includes a zone evaluator configured to primarily recognize a location of the portable terminal by using first and second components of an Earth's magnetic field and to finally recognize the location of the portable terminal by using first and second images.

Apparatus and method for recognizing zone in portable terminal

An electronic device and a method for configuring a message, and a wearable electronic device and a method for receiving and executing the message are provided. The method includes detecting an event, configuring the message in response to the detected event, the message being executed on a wearable electronic device communicating with the electronic device, and transmitting the message to the wearable electronic device.

Electronic device and method for configuring message, and wearable electronic device and method for receiving and executing the message

A method of receiving a packet by a receiving terminal is provided. The method includes receiving one or more packets including information about an event which belongs to a same kind of event from a transmitting terminal, and selecting at least one packet from among the received one or more packets based on time information of a certain point of time at the certain point of time.

System and method of selectively receiving and transmitting a packet based on packet time information

A method of transmitting data via a data transmitting device in a wireless network environment is provided. The method includes determining whether traffic is saturated or not based on an access category (AC) into which the data is classified according to a type of application that transmits the data, a queue size, and a predetermined threshold value and determining a transmission scheme according to a determination result of whether traffic is saturated or not and the AC of the data.

Method for data transmission in wireless network environment and data transmitter

A terminal apparatus and a method for time synchronization are provided. The method includes setting a reference time for a time synchronization with another terminal apparatus, transmitting a sync signal comprising the set reference time to the other terminal apparatus, and if a response signal to the sync signal is received from the other terminal apparatus, performing the time synchronization with the other terminal apparatus based on a transmission time of the sync signal and a reception time of the response signal. Therefore, a terminal apparatus further simply and rapidly performs a time synchronization with another terminal apparatus.

Terminal apparatus and method for time synchronization

A terminal device is provided. The terminal device includes a multimedia part configured to play back a content, a communicator configured to perform communication, a short-range wireless communication module configured to share communication connection information with an external device, and when tagged with the external device while a content is played back, a controller configured to control the communicator to be connected to the external device according to the communication connection information and transmit a synchronization signal and the played back content. Accordingly, the terminal device shares a synchronized content with an external device using a User Interface (UI) for controlling a plurality of external devices.

Terminal device and method for controlling thereof

An apparatus and a method detect and connect a counterpart device by capturing an image of the counterpart device in a wireless device. A Relative Distance Value (RDV) between the wireless device and the counterpart device is determined via image capture using a camera. The counterpart device is identified using the determined RDV.

Apparatus and method for detecting and connecting counterpart device by capturing image of counterpart device in wireless device

An apparatus and method for allowing a plurality of playback devices to stream content of a master device simultaneously is provided. When the master device selects one of the playback devices as a reference device and multicasts a synchronization packet to the playback devices, the playback devices determine a synchronization time by comparing their own synchronization packet reception time with a synchronization packet reception time of the reference device. When the master device streams content, into which a time stamp is inserted based on the time of the reference device, the playback devices play the content based on the determined synchronization time. Therefore, even when the playback devices have different network latencies from the master device, the playback devices may accurately perform synchronized content playback.

Method and apparatus for allowing playback devices to perform synchronized playback of streaming content

An operating method of a control point includes setting a Maximum time for waits (MX) value for device discovery. The method also includes transmitting a message that includes the set MX value to at least one device connected with the control point. The method further includes receiving a response message in response to a Method for Search Request (M-SEARCH) message from the at least one device.

Apparatus and method of control point for device discovery
