A MirrorLink server for communicating with a MirrorLink client, the MirrorLink server including a display unit; a memory configured to store at least one of a certified application; a communication unit configured to establish a connection between the MirrorLink client and the MirrorLink server; and a controller coupled to the display unit, the memory and the communication unit. The controller is further configured to provide the at least one of a certified application stored in the memory, receive at least one of an interrupt, wherein the at least one of the interrupt corresponds to a home key event or a back key event, and switch either to the MirrorLink client's native UI or another screen in response to the at least one of the interrupt.

Method of outputting screens from server and client devices in performing mirrorlink

A method of communicating between an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) device in a vehicle and a mobile terminal. The method includes receiving, via a communication unit of the IVI device, application data from the mobile terminal for executing a prescribed application on the IVI device; displaying, via a display of the IVI device, one of a first execution screen having a first execution depth and a second execution screen having a second execution depth higher than the first execution depth for the prescribed application; receiving an interrupt request for requesting the one of the first and second execution screens stopped being displayed; displaying, via the display of the IVI device, the first execution screen having the first execution depth in response to the second execution screen being displayed when receiving the interrupt request; and displaying, via the display of the IVI device, a list of certified applications certified for the IVI device or switch a launcher application to a foreground, in response to the first execution screen being displayed when receiving the interrupt request.
