An example method and a device for providing content to at least one external device are provided. The example method includes communicating with the at least one external device, displaying a plurality of contents stored in the device on a screen of the device, determining whether the at least one external device is executing an application corresponding to an application being executed in the device, and providing at least one of the displayed plurality of contents to the at least one external device, based on the determination.

Method and system for searching for object in network

A method and apparatus for sharing presentation data, interactions, and annotation information between devices. The method includes: converting the presentation data into at least one image; transmitting the at least one image to the second device; displaying an image from among the at least one image on a screen of the first device, and transmitting image identification information about the displayed image to the second device; adding annotation data to the displayed image, based on a user input; and transmitting annotation information about the annotation data to the second device. The second device displays an image corresponding to the image identification information on a screen of the second device based on the image identification information, and the second device displays the annotation information on the image displayed on the screen of the second device the annotation information.

Method and apparatus for sharing presentation data and annotation

A method and a device for providing content to at least one external device are provided. The method includes communicating with the at least one external device, displaying a plurality of contents stored in the device on a screen of the device, determining whether the at least one external device is executing an application corresponding to an application being executed in the device, and providing at least one of the displayed plurality of contents to the at least one external device, based on the determination.

A method for transmitting contents and user's interactions among multiple devices is provided. The method includes determining a group of object devices including a portion of the plurality of object devices, transmitting the data to the object devices of the determined group, receiving confirmation information from the object device which completes receiving of the data, among the object devices of the determined group, determining a clone device based on the received confirmation information. The transmitted clone information is used to transmit the data from the determined clone device to at least one object device which is not included in the object devices of the determined group among the plurality of object devices.

Method of transmitting contents and user's interactions among multiple devices

An apparatus and method for controlling a virtual keypad in an electronic device. The method includes determining whether a touch is sensed, determining whether the touch is held during a reference time when the touch is sensed, determining whether a coordinate of the touch is included in a reference region when the touch is held during the reference time, and displaying the virtual keypad based on the coordinate of the touch when the coordinate of the touch is included in the reference region.

Method of controlling virtual keypad and electronic device therefor

An apparatus and method for limiting sharing of reproduction information of a data authorized for only a specific user when a video and audio reproduced from a portable terminal are shared with a peripheral second terminal. The apparatus preferably includes an application analyzer, and a sharing information generator. Sharing information of the reproduced data is replaced with non-shared information when it is verified that the data which is not authorized to be shared is reproduced. A controller transmits the sharing information or the sharing information replaced with the non-shared information to the peripheral second terminal. The sharing information includes picture information and voice information of the reproduced data and wherein the non-shared information is replacement information for limiting viewing of the voice and audio information.

Apparatus and method for sharing output data in portable terminal

An apparatus and a method for remote control at a mobile communication terminal includes a display unit that outputs a remote control screen when a remote control event occur; a communication unit either transmits or receives a remote control signal to or from an object terminal as well as data for storage when a remote control event occurs; a remote control processor processes the remote control signal received from the communication unit, and controls either the transmitting or receiving of data for storage; and a controller controls the remote control processor according to the received remote control signal, so as to transmit a storage data transmission or reception request message to the object terminal in response a respective on of a transmission or a reception request for the data for storage.

Apparatus and method for remotely controlling in mobile communication terminal

A method of searching for an object in a network, performed by a first device is provided. The method includes communicating with at least one device in a network regarding whether an object corresponding to an object included in the first device is installed in the at least one device; receiving terminal information from devices in which the corresponding object is installed from among the at least one device; and creating a list of devices in which the corresponding object is installed, and displaying the list of devices on a screen, wherein the list of devices includes the received terminal information.

A character input mode of a mobile terminal permits easier viewing of characters being entered on a virtual keyboard. An apparatus and a method permitting detection of misprinted/omitted character when performing a special character input mode An output manager outputs a character input screen including a virtual keyboard region and a character input field region when entering a character input mode, and outputs an auxiliary character input field showing information of currently input data on the virtual keyboard region. A display unit outputs the auxiliary character input field, the character input field, and the virtual keyboard. When an input of the virtual keyboard is detected, the output manager outputs information of data corresponding to an input position on the character input field and the auxiliary character input field. The character input mode preferably includes a mode for inputting at least one of text data, symbol data, and emoticon data.
