Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method and system for controlling terminals using images displayed on a user's terminal. The user can select an event-executing entity in the image and send a selection message to the receiving terminal, allowing efficient control of the receiving terminal. The position image on the user terminal can also be shown on the receiving terminal, making it easy for the user to control the operation without looking at the user terminal. The technical effect of this patent is improved user experience and convenient control of terminals using images.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is inconvenient for a user to control a smart TV using touch methods, and remote controls for controlling smart TV's are not very efficient.

first embodiment

[0079]FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B illustrate a method of linking and controlling terminals according to a

[0080]Referring to FIG. 2A, the receiving terminal 102 can transmit image data corresponding to a first image 110 that includes an event-executing entity 200, such as a UI, icon, application program, link, etc., for example, to the user terminal 100. Consequently, the first image 110 displayed on the user terminal 100 can include the event-executing entity 200.

[0081]According to an embodiment, when the user touches the event-executing entity 200 with a touch means, the user terminal 100 can transmit selection information, which notifies that the event-executing entity 200 was selected, to the receiving terminal 102. The selection information can include position infoll tation corresponding to a touch input for selecting the event-executing entity 200 or, depending on the touch input, control information for executing the event-executing entity 200.

[0082]The receiving terminal 102 can rec...

second embodiment

[0085]FIG. 3 illustrates a method of linking and controlling terminals according to a

[0086]Referring to FIG. 3, it is also possible to transmit to the user terminal 100 only the image 300 corresponding to a UI for control from among the first image 110 displayed on the receiving terminal 102, so that the user terminal 100 can display a corresponding image 302. That is, the user terminal 100 and the receiving terminal 102 can share just a portion of the image, especially a portion including an event-executing entity. In this case, a second image 112 indicating the position of the touch means may be displayed on the receiving terminal 102. Of course, a third image 114 indicating the position of the touch means can also be displayed on the user terminal 100, where the third image 114 can be substantially the same as the second image 112.

[0087]In such a linkage system, when the user touches an event-executing entity in the image 302 displayed on the user terminal 100 with a touch means,...

third embodiment

[0090]FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B illustrate a method of linking and controlling terminals according to a

[0091]Referring to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the image for the second image 112a indicating the position of the touch means can be changed to a different shape. Also, the second image 112a can be changed if the touch means is present at a preset position while it is near the user terminal 100 or is touching the user terminal 100 with a pressure or an area smaller than or equal to a preset pressure or area level.

[0092]For example, if the touch means is not positioned over an event-executing entity, the second image 112a can be represented as a shadow image as illustrated in FIG. 4A, but if the touch means is positioned over an event-executing entity, it can be represented by a finger image as illustrated in FIG. 4B. The second image 112 can be changed when the touch means is positioned not only over an icon, but also over an Internet address input window, the bottom of the screen, a search win...
