Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for dynamically controlling a display mode of an external device coupled to user equipment. The method may include determining whether to detect connection to an external device and upon the detection of the connection, controlling the coupled external device to display image data produced in the user equipment on a display unit of the coupled external device in a display mode different from a display mode of the user equipment.

Dynamically controlling display mode of external device coupled to user equipment

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for selectively transferring image data from user equipment to a coupled external device. The method may include determining whether user equipment is coupled to an external device, receiving selection inputs from a user for selecting at least one of applications installed in the user equipment when the user equipment is determined as being coupled to the external device, and selectively transferring image data produced in the user equipment based on the selected application. The method may further include controlling the coupled external device to display the transferred image data on a display unit of the coupled external device.

Selectively tranferring image data from user equipment to external device

The disclosure is related to controlling an application execution in user equipment. A user request for executing an application may be received. An execution condition may be obtained associated with the requested application. Whether the user equipment is connected to an external device may be detected. An execution of the requested application may be controlled based on a detection result and the obtained execution condition.

Controlling applications according to connection state and execution condition

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for restricting transferring of image data produced by a predetermined application to a coupled external device. The method may include detecting an activation of an application in a user equipment while the user equipment is coupled to an external device and determining whether image data produced by the activated application is transferred to the coupled external device. The determining may include restricting the produced image data of the activated application from being transferred to the coupled external device when an application control type of the activated application is a restricted application, otherwise, transferring the produced image data of the activated application to the coupled external device.

Restricting operation results from being transferred to coupled external device

Provided is a method for controlling and driving constituent elements of an external device connected to user equipment. The method may include obtaining external device information from the external device when coupled to the user equipment, obtaining application information based on the obtained external device information, and running an application tailored for the external device based on the obtained application information.

Controlling an external device connected to user equipment

Provided are user equipment connectable to an external device and a method for establishing a connection between user equipment including second constituent elements and an external device including first constituent elements and controlling the external device. The method may include sensing the connection to the external device, obtaining first constituent element information from the external device through the connection, wherein the first constituent element information includes information on first constituent elements of the external device, selecting target constituent elements to control from the first constituent elements of the external device based on the obtained first constituent element information, reconfiguring a control path for controlling the selected target constituent elements of the external device, and controlling the selected target constituent elements of the external device through the reconfigured control path.

User equipment connectable to an external device

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for controlling a plurality of coupled external devices. The method may include determining whether one of applications installed in user equipment is activated upon receipt of a user input when the user equipment is coupled to a plurality of external devices, selecting one of the coupled external devices as a target external device to be mapped, when the application is determined as being activated, and mapping the selected coupled external device with the activated application and establishing a signal route between the user equipment and the selected coupled external device in association with the activated application.
