Disclosed is a mobile device and a control method thereof. The mobile device includes a communication interface configured to perform communication via a network; a display configured to display an image; and a processor. The processor is configured to process a signal transmitted or received by the communication interface, control the display to display the image based on the processed signal, control the communication interface to transmit device information of the mobile device to a server, wherein the mobile device is able to receive a message from a remote device through the communication interface, based on the server receiving reference information indicating that the remote device is set to a condition where the remote device is unable to receive the message, receive the message from the server, wherein the message is received through a counterpart device, and process the message to transmit a command to the remote device, such that the server remotely controls the remote device to transmit information requested by a user of the counterpart device corresponding to the command to the counterpart device.

Mobile device, control method thereof, message sending apparatus and message sending method

A method of sharing a function of a device, the method including detecting at least one device from among a plurality of devices through a first device connected to the plurality of devices through a plurality of networks, wherein the detecting is performed by a second device in the plurality of devices; interworking the second device with a third device in the detected at least one device, through the first device; and using, by the second device, a function of the third device through the first device.

Method and apparatus for sharing function of external device through complex network

A first electronic device is provided that detects a second electronic device disposed in an area related to the first electronic device while obtaining video. Based on detecting the second electronic device disposed in the area, the video is automatically transmitted, without receiving a user input for transmitting the video, to the second electronic device such that the transmitted video is provided on a display of the second electronic device. A third electronic device disposed in the area related to the first electronic device is detected while providing a still image on the display of the first electronic device. Based on detecting the third electronic device disposed in the area, the still image is automatically transmitted, without receiving a user input for transmitting the still image, to the third electronic device such that the transmitted still image is provided on a display of the third electronic device.

Method for performing cooperative function automatically and device using the same

Disclosed is a mobile device, a control method thereof, a message sending apparatus and a message sending method. The mobile device includes a wireless communication unit which performs wireless communication via a wireless network; a signal processing unit which processes a signal transmitted/received by the wireless communication unit; a display unit which displays an image based on the signal processed by the signal processing unit; and a control unit which receives a message from a counterpart device, displays the received message on the display unit, remotely accesses a remote device, and controls the remote device to allow the mobile device to access information stored in the remote device.

A method of notifying a user of a message received by a first device of the user is provided. The method includes connecting, by the first device, to a second device of the user through a local communication network, wherein the second device is currently registered by the first device; receiving, by the first device, a message, from an external device of another user; in response to determining the first device is not currently being used when the message is received, determining whether the registered second device is currently being used; and transmitting notification information of the received message to the second device currently being used by the user, wherein a notification regarding the received message is displayed on a display of the second device currently being used by the user.

Device capable of notifying operation state change thereof through network and communication method of the device

Disclosed is a method of a first electronic device, including capturing at least one first video, and in response to identifying a second electronic device in a surrounding area of the first electronic device, without a user input for command, transmitting the at least one first video to the second electronic device to display the at least one first video.

Disclosed is a method for performing a cooperative function, including determining whether there is another device in a surrounding area of a device, and when it is determined that the another device is in the surrounding area, performing the cooperative function, by the device, with the another device according to a location of the another device.

A control method of a server is provided. Location information is extracted from photographed data. The photographed data is linked to a course of travel having a pre-stored street image, by applying a predetermined standard based on the extracted location information. The photographed data is provided together with the linked course of travel having the pre-stored street image.

Server, user terminal, and service providing method, and control method thereof

A method of generating interaction activity information, performed by a device, is provided. The method includes establishing communication with at least one external apparatus; receiving first information about a user selectable function of the external apparatus; and generating second information, based on the first information, about a user selectable function of the device, wherein the user selectable function of the device corresponds to the user selectable function of the external device and can be performed in collaboration with the external device.

Method and apparatus for generating or using interaction activity information

A method of notifying an operation state change of a device is provided. The method includes receiving a message by a first device; identifying, by the first device, that a second device is currently connected to the first device through a network; and transmitting, by the first device, information regarding the message to the second device. The information is displayed on a display unit of the second device.

A method of switching operation modes in a mobile device is provided. The method includes receiving information regarding a place, from at least one nearby external device, determining a place property of the place by using the information regarding the place, and switching a current operation mode to an operation mode corresponding to the determined place property of the place.

Method and apparatus for switching modes

An apparatus and method of connecting an external device are provided. The method includes connecting the apparatus to the external device when a distance between the external device and the apparatus is less than a reference range; after the external device is connected to the apparatus, continuously maintaining the connection when a distance between the external device and the apparatus is greater than the reference range; and disconnecting the external device from the apparatus when a distance between the external device and the apparatus is greater than a detectable range.

Method and apparatus for connecting to external device

A method for providing a search service of a display apparatus includes receiving a selection of an object by displaying a screen that displays at least one object, and providing location information adaptive to the user terminal to the user terminal using all location information of the searched object and information regarding a user location. Accordingly, a user may conveniently search a desired object.

Display apparatus for supporting search service, user terminal for performing search of object, and methods thereof

A vehicle information providing method and a terminal applying the same are provided. The vehicle information providing method includes communicably connecting to a Global Positioning System (GPS) mounted on a vehicle, receiving location information from the GPS and receiving vehicle information from a vehicle information system based on the received location information. Accordingly, the terminal may receive the location information of the vehicle inside the vehicle even though the terminal has no GPS.
