[0060] The display module (205) of the electronic device (200) can display a shared UI in response to a connection with the user terminal (210). The display module (215) of the user terminal (210) can display a shared UI in response to synchronization by the electronic device (200).

[0061] Through synchronization, the shared UI displayed by the display module (205) of the electronic device (200) and the user terminal (210) can display the same information. The first screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (205) and the first screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (215) can display the same content information. However, the second screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (205) and the second screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (215) can display the same or different information. For example, the second screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (205) and the second screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (215) can both display the same navigation information. When the second screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (205) and the second screen of the shared UI displayed by the display module (215) include control information for peripheral devices mounted on the vehicle, the display module (205) displays control information for all peripheral devices mounted on the vehicle, but the display module (215) can display control information for peripheral devices related to the identification location within the vehicle of the user terminal (210) including the display module (215).

[0062] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the description of the user terminal (210) described above can be applied to each user terminal described in this document. For example, the description of the user terminal (210) described above can be applied to two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) of FIG. 3. Furthermore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the description of each user terminal described in this document can also be applied to other user terminals. For example, the description of the first user terminal can be applied to the second to fourth user terminals. The description of the second user terminal can be applied to the first, third, and fourth user terminals. Below, the connection of an electronic device (200) mounted on a vehicle and two or more user terminals will be described.

[0063] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the connection between an electronic device mounted on a vehicle and two or more user terminals according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 3, a vehicle (300) is illustrated. The vehicle (300) may include an electronic device (not shown) (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 and the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2). The electronic device may include a display module (310) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1 and the display module (205) of FIG. 2). Two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) may be located within the vehicle (300). The two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) may each belong to different passengers. For example, the first user terminal (320) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1 and the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2) may be a driver's terminal. The second user terminal (330) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1 and the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2) may be a terminal of a passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. The third user terminal (340) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1 and the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2) and the fourth user terminal (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1 and the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2) may be terminals of a passenger sitting in the rear seat. However, this is merely an example, and one passenger may include two or more user terminals.

[0065] An electronic device can communicate with two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) and a network (360) (e.g., the first network (198) of FIG. 1 and the network (220) of FIG. 2). The electronic device can establish a communication connection with two or more user terminals through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (190) of FIG. 1 and the communication module (203) of FIG. 2). When an electronic device mounted on a vehicle (300) is connected to two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350), it can receive content information shared from the two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350). Content information shared from each of two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) may include information about application information existing in each of two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) to be shared within the vehicle (300).

[0066] An electronic device can generate a shared UI that simultaneously displays content information and vehicle-related information received from two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350). A display module (310) of the electronic device can display the shared UI. The electronic device can synchronize two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) to display the shared UI. The two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) can display the shared UI through synchronization. The two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) can display the shared UI on a shared page generated according to a connection with the electronic device. The first screens displayed by each of the two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) can display the same content information. The second screens displayed by each of two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) may display information related to the same or different vehicles. For example, the second screens displayed by each of two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) may vary depending on the locations of the two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) within the vehicle (300).

[0067] Below, the connection between an electronic device and two or more user terminals (320, 330, 340, 350) will be explained using a flow chart.

[0068] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating display of a shared UI according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] In the embodiments below, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. The operations illustrated in FIG. 4 may be performed by at least one component of the electronic device (400) (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 and the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2).

[0070] In operation (401), the electronic device (400) can activate a vehicle network (e.g., the first network (198) of FIG. 1, the network (220) of FIG. 2, and the network (360) of FIG. 3). The electronic device (400) can be connected to a first user terminal (410) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, and the first user terminal (320) of FIG. 3), a second user terminal (420) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, and the second user terminal (330) of FIG. 3), a third user terminal (430) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, and the third user terminal (340) of FIG. 3), and a fourth user terminal (440) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, and the fourth user terminal (350) of FIG. 3)) through a vehicle network. The electronic device (400) can establish a communication connection with two or more user terminals through a communication module.

[0071] When the electronic device (400) is connected to a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) through a network, the electronic device (400) can receive content information from each of the user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440). The electronic device (400) can receive content information from each of the plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) to be shared within a vehicle (e.g., vehicle (300) of FIG. 3).

[0072] In operation (403), the electronic device (400) may generate a shared UI. The electronic device (400) may generate the shared UI based on content information and vehicle-related information received from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440). The shared UI may include a first screen including content information received from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) and a second screen including vehicle-related information. Each of the plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) may generate a shared page for displaying the shared UI in response to the generation of the shared UI by the electronic device (400). The generation of the shared page will be further described in FIG. 6.

[0073] In operation (405), the electronic device (400) can synchronize a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) to display a shared UI. The electronic device (400) can transmit content information received from the user terminals to each of the plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) to display the shared UI. The electronic device (400) can transmit vehicle-related information to each of the plurality of user terminals (410) to display the shared UI.

[0074] In operation (407), the electronic device (400) can control a display module (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1, the display module (205) of FIG. 2, and the display module (310) of FIG. 3) to display a shared UI. The electronic device (400) can display a first screen including content information received from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) and a second screen including information related to a vehicle on the display module.

[0075] In operation (411), the first user terminal (410) can display a shared UI on a display module (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2). The first user terminal (410) can display a first screen including content information shared from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) and a second screen including information related to a vehicle.

[0076] In operation (421), the second user terminal (420) can display a shared UI on a display module (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2). The second user terminal (420) can display a first screen including content information shared from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) and a second screen including information related to a vehicle.

[0077] In operation (431), the third user terminal (430) can display a shared UI on a display module (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2). The third user terminal (430) can display a first screen including content information shared from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) and a second screen including information related to the vehicle.

[0078] In operation (441), the fourth user terminal (440) can display a shared UI on a display module (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2). The fourth user terminal (440) can display a first screen including content information shared from a plurality of user terminals (410, 420, 430, 440) and a second screen including information related to a vehicle.

[0079] Below, we will explain how to display the sharing UI on the sharing page of the user terminal.

[0080] FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the creation of a shared page and display of a shared UI according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 5, a user terminal (500) (e.g., an electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, a user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, a first user terminal (320) to a fourth user terminal (350) of FIG. 3, and a first user terminal (410) to a fourth user terminal (440) of FIG. 4) displaying a home screen (511) on a display module (510) (e.g., a display module (215) of FIG. 2) is illustrated.

[0082] The home screen (511) is the default screen of the user terminal (500) and may be the first screen displayed when the user terminal (500) is booted. The home screen (511) may display multiple application icons. The home screen (511) may include multiple pages that can be moved by the user swiping the screen left and right. The home screen (511) may include an indicator (520) at the bottom that briefly displays multiple pages. The number of points included in the indicator (520) may correspond to the number of multiple pages. The home screen (511) illustrated in FIG. 5 is merely an example, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the home screen (511) may include not only multiple application icons but also widgets and PIP (picture-in-picture).

[0083] When a user terminal (500) is connected to an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, an electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, and an electronic device (400) of FIG. 4) mounted on a vehicle (e.g., a vehicle (300) of FIG. 3) via a network, the user terminal (500) may generate a sharing page (530) for displaying a sharing UI (560). According to one embodiment, the sharing page may be generated as the leftmost page of the home screen. When the sharing page (530) is generated, the indicator (520) may additionally display an icon (521) indicating that the sharing page (530) has been generated.

[0084] A user can swipe the screen of the user terminal (500) left or right to cause the user terminal (500) to display a shared page (530) on the display module (510). For example, if the user terminal (500) is currently displaying a page immediately to the right of the shared page (530), the user can swipe the screen to the right to display a shared page (530) created on the left side of the currently displayed page.

[0085] When a shared page (530) is displayed on the display module (510), an icon (521) indicating that a shared page (530) has been created may indicate that the current shared page (530) is being displayed on the display module (510). For example, a square containing the icon (521) may be displayed.

[0086] The shared page (530) may include a shared UI (560). The shared UI (560) may include a first screen (540) that displays content information shared by the user terminal (500) as well as other user terminals. The content information may include information about applications present on each user terminal for sharing within the vehicle.

[0087] For example, assuming that the user terminal (500) is the first user terminal, the first screen (540) can display not only content information shared by the first user terminal, but also content information shared by the second user terminal and the third user terminal. For example, in FIG. 5, APP 1 may be content information shared from the first user terminal, APP 2 may be content information shared from the second user terminal, and APP 3 may be content information shared from the third user terminal.

[0088] The shared UI (560) may include a second screen (550) that displays vehicle-related information received from the vehicle. The vehicle-related information may include navigation information running on an electronic device mounted on the vehicle. The vehicle-related information on the second screen (550) may include vehicle operation information. The vehicle-related information may include control information for peripheral devices mounted on the vehicle. For example, the second screen (550) may display navigation information received from the vehicle. According to one embodiment, the user may change the information displayed on the second screen (550) through a preset input. For example, the preset input may be a gesture of touching an area within the second screen (550) and a gesture of touching a separate change button displayed on the second screen (550).

[0089] The shared UI (560) can display a first screen (540) and a second screen (550) at the same time. The first screen (540) can include an icon (541) for selecting whether to play content selected by the user on the first screen (540) on the user terminal (500) or on an electronic device mounted on the vehicle.

[0090] Below, we will describe an electronic device mounted on a vehicle that displays a shared UI (560).

[0091] FIG. 6 is a drawing for explaining a shared UI displayed on an electronic device mounted on a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 6, display modules (600, 610) (e.g., display module (160) of FIG. 1, display module (205) of FIG. 2, and display module (310) of FIG. 3) of electronic devices mounted on a vehicle (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, and electronic device (400) of FIG. 4) are illustrated.

[0093] A shared UI (640) (e.g., shared UI (560) of FIG. 5) may be referred to by the same name as a screen that displays the same information regardless of the device on which it is displayed. For example, a screen that displays vehicle-related information regardless of the device on which it is displayed may be referred to as a second screen (630) (e.g., second screen (550) of FIG. 5). For example, a screen that displays content information shared from user terminals regardless of the device on which it is displayed may be referred to as a first screen (620) (e.g., first screen (540) of FIG. 5). Accordingly, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the description of the shared UI (640) displayed by the electronic device in this document can also be applied to the shared UI displayed by the user terminal (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the first user terminal (320) to the fourth user terminal (350) of FIG. 3, and the first user terminal (410) to the fourth user terminal (440) of FIG. 4). In addition, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the description of the shared UI displayed by the user terminal can be applied to the shared UI (640) displayed by the electronic device.

[0094] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can control the display modules (600, 610) to display the shared UI (640). The display module (600) can have a vertically elongated shape. The display module (600) can display the first screen (620) and the second screen (630) included in the shared UI (640) vertically. According to another embodiment, the display module (610) can have a horizontally elongated shape. The display module (610) can arrange the first screen (620) and the second screen (630) included in the shared UI (640) left and right.

[0095] Electronic devices can be synchronized with user terminals to display the same information. For example, the first screen (620) can display content information received from user terminals, and the user terminals can also display the same content information as the first screen (620) is displaying. For example, the second screen (630) can display navigation information currently being executed by the electronic device, and the user terminals can also display the navigation information currently being displayed by the second screen (630). However, the user can cause the user terminal to display information other than navigation information through a preset input.

[0096] Below, we will explain how to display content data.

[0097] FIGS. 7 to 9 are drawings for explaining a method of displaying content data according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 7, a flow chart is illustrated to explain a method of displaying content data according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0099] Hereinafter, a method for displaying content data will be described based on a first user terminal (e.g., an electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, a user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, a first user terminal (320) of FIG. 3, a first user terminal (410) of FIG. 4, and a user terminal (500) of FIG. 5). However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description can also be applied to other user terminals.

[0100] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0101] In operation (701), the first user terminal may receive an execution command for content shared from the first user terminal among the shared content information. The user may select the content information shared by the first user terminal on a first screen (e.g., the first screen (540) of FIG. 5 and the first screen (620) of FIG. 6) of a shared UI (e.g., the shared UI (560) of FIG. 5 and the shared UI (640) of FIG. 6) being displayed by a display module of the first user terminal (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2 and the display module (510) of FIG. 5). A case where the user selects content information shared by another user terminal on the first screen will be described with reference to FIG. 8.

[0102] In operation (703), the first user terminal may execute content corresponding to content information selected by the user. The first user terminal may receive a display command from the user regarding which device to display content data (e.g., screen data, etc.) regarding the content being executed by the first user terminal. For example, if the content being executed by the first user terminal is a video playback application, the content data may be data related to the video being played. For example, if the content being executed by the first user terminal is a music playback application, the content data may be data related to the music being played.

[0103] In operation (705), the first user terminal can determine on which device the content data will be displayed based on the display command.

[0104] If the display command is a command to display content data on an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, and the electronic device (400) of FIG. 4), in operation (707), the first user terminal can transmit the content data to the electronic device. The electronic device that has received the content data can display the content data on a first screen (e.g., the first screen (540) of FIG. 5) and the first screen (620) of FIG. 6) displayed by a display module (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1, the display module (205) of FIG. 2, the display module (310) of FIG. 3, and the display modules (600, 610) of FIG. 6).

[0105] If the display command is a command to display content data on the first user terminal, in operation (709), the first user terminal can display the content data on the first screen displayed by the display module of the first user terminal.

[0106] In one embodiment, the display command may be a command to display content data on both the first user terminal and the electronic device. The first user terminal may transmit the content data to the electronic device. The electronic device and the first user terminal that received the content data may display the content data on the first screen displayed by their respective display modules.

[0107] Referring to Figure 8, we will explain the display of content data when a user selects content information shared from another user terminal.

[0108] Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the user is a user of a first user terminal (810) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the first user terminal (320) of FIG. 3, the first user terminal (410) of FIG. 4, and the user terminal (500) of FIG. 5), and the other user terminal is a second user terminal (820) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the second user terminal (330) of FIG. 3, and the second user terminal (420) of FIG. 4). However, this is merely an example, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the description below.

[0109] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0110] In operation (801), the first user terminal (810) may receive an execution command for content information shared from another user terminal among content information shared from the user. Unlike FIG. 7, the first user terminal (810) cannot execute the content because it has received an execution command for the content information shared from another user terminal. Accordingly, the first user terminal (810) may transmit the execution command to an electronic device (800) (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, and the electronic device (400) of FIG. 4).

[0111] In operation (803), the electronic device (800) may receive an execution command from a first user terminal (810) and transmit the received execution command to another user terminal. The electronic device (800) may transmit the execution command to a user terminal that has shared content information related to the execution command. For example, if the execution command is a command to execute content shared by a second user terminal (820), the electronic device (800) may transmit the execution command to the second user terminal (820).

[0112] In operation (805), the second user terminal (820) may receive an execution command and execute content corresponding to the execution command. For example, the second user terminal (820) may receive an execution command to execute a video playback application and execute the video playback application corresponding to the execution command. The content executed by the second user terminal (820) may be stored in the second user terminal (820) or received from a service provider providing the content. According to one embodiment, the second user terminal (820) may execute the content corresponding to the received execution command in the background. According to one embodiment, the second user terminal (820) may transmit a link address capable of executing the content, rather than content data. In this case, the second user terminal (820) may not execute the content. Other user terminals that have received the link address capable of executing the content may execute the content individually through the link address. The link address capable of executing the content may be a link address provided by the service provider of the content. In one embodiment, other user terminals may not be able to execute the content via the received link address. For example, users of other user terminals may not have accounts with the relevant company, preventing them from playing the content via the received link address. However, if the account logged into the user terminal that transmitted the link address supports multi-user functionality, or if the account supports multi-user functionality in a temporary situation (e.g., content sharing within a vehicle (e.g., vehicle (300) of FIG. 3)), other user terminals may be able to execute the content via the link address.

[0113] The second user terminal (820) can transmit content data of the running content to the electronic device (800).

[0114] In operation (807), the electronic device (800) can receive content data from a second user terminal (820).

[0115] In operation (809), the first user terminal (810) may receive a display command from the user to display content data through the identified device. According to one embodiment, the first user terminal (810) may receive a display command from the user to display the content data through the first user terminal (810) and / or the electronic device (800). According to one embodiment, the first user terminal (810) may receive a display command from the user to display the content data for all user terminals connected to the electronic device (800). The first user terminal (810) may transmit the received display command to the electronic device (800).

[0116] In operation (811), the electronic device (800) may transmit content data based on a display command. The electronic device (800) may transmit the content data to one or more user terminals connected to the electronic device (800) based on the display command. If the display command is a command to display the content data through the electronic device (800), in operation (813), the electronic device (800) may display the content data on a display module of the electronic device (800) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1, the display module (205) of FIG. 2, the display module (310) of FIG. 3, and the display modules (600, 610) of FIG. 6) without transmitting the content data to other user terminals. According to one embodiment, when the electronic device (800) displays the content data, the second user terminal (820) may transmit the content data to the electronic device (800) in a mirroring or streaming manner. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (800) may include a plurality of display modules. For example, the electronic device (800) may further include a display module installed on the back of the headrest of the driver's seat and / or the front passenger's seat. The electronic device (800) may display content data for each of the plurality of display modules.

[0117] In operation (815), the first user terminal (810) may receive content data and display it on a display module (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2 and the display module (510) of FIG. 5). For example, if the display command is a command to display content data through the first user terminal (810), the electronic device (800) may transmit the content data to the first user terminal (810). Then, the first user terminal (810) may display the received content data through the display module of the first user terminal (810). According to one embodiment, all user terminals connected to the electronic device (800) may display the content data through their respective displays. In this case, a user terminal executing content may directly transmit the content data to other user terminals without going through the electronic device (800). According to one embodiment, all user terminals connected to the electronic device (800) may display the content data through their respective displays. At this time, the user terminal executing the content can transmit content data to other user terminals via the electronic device (800). In other words, the user terminal executing the content can transmit content data to other user terminals using a broadcast method or a multicast method.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 9, a method of displaying content data according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 9, a user terminal (900) (e.g., an electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, a user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the first user terminal (320) to the fourth user terminal (350) of FIG. 3, the first user terminal (410) to the fourth user terminal (440) of FIG. 4, a user terminal (500) of FIG. 5, the first user terminal (810) of FIG. 8, and the second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8) displaying a first screen (920) (e.g., the first screen (540) of FIG. 5 and the first screen (620) of FIG. 6) and a second screen (930) (e.g., the second screen (550) of FIG. 5 and the second screen (630) of FIG. 6)) is illustrated.

[0120] The display module (910) of the user terminal (900) (e.g., the display module (215) of FIG. 2 and the display module (510) of FIG. 5) can display a shared UI (940) including a first screen (920) and a second screen (930) (e.g., the shared UI (560) of FIG. 5 and the shared UI (640) of FIG. 6). The user of the user terminal (900) can select content information to be executed on the first screen (920). For example, the user can select content information shared from a second user terminal (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the second user terminal (330) of FIG. 3, the second user terminal (420) of FIG. 4, and the second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8).

[0121] A user can select content information to be executed on the first screen (920) and then select an icon (921) (e.g., icon (541) of FIG. 5) to select which device to use to display the content data (925). When the icon (921) is selected, the user terminal (900) can display buttons (923) for receiving a display command from the user to use which device to display the content data (925).

[0122] The user terminal (900) may receive a display command via any one of the buttons (923). For example, the user terminal (900) may receive a display command to cause the current terminal (e.g., the first user terminal) displaying the first screen (920) to display content data (925). According to one embodiment, the user terminal (900) may receive a display command to cause not only the electronic device and the current terminal, but also all user terminals and / or all user terminals and electronic devices to display the content data (925) via the buttons (923).

[0123] If the display command received by the user terminal (900) is a command to display content data on the current terminal, the user terminal (900) may receive content data (925) from an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, the electronic device (400) of FIG. 4, and the electronic device (800) of FIG. 8) and display the content data (925) through the first screen (920). According to one embodiment, the user terminal (900) may display the content data (925) using the entire area of ​​the display module (910). For example, when the user terminal (900) is held in a horizontal direction, the user terminal (900) may display the content data (925) on the entire area of ​​the display module (910) without displaying the second area (930).

[0124] If the display command received by the user terminal (900) is a command to display content data on the electronic device, the electronic device can display the content data (925) through the display module (950) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1, the display module (205) of FIG. 2, the display module (310) of FIG. 3, the display module (600) of FIG. 6, and the display module (610) of FIG. 6). The user terminal (900) can display the content data (925) on the first screen (920) being displayed by the display module (950). According to one embodiment, the electronic device can also display the content data (925) on the entire area of ​​the display module (950).

[0125] The above-described method is only one of various embodiments for displaying content data (925), and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0126] Below, we will explain how to add content information to the first screen (920).

[0127] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a method for explaining addition of content information according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0128] Referring to FIG. 10, a first screen (1010) (e.g., the first screen (540) of FIG. 5, the first screen (620) of FIG. 6, and the first screen (920) of FIG. 9) displaying only APP 2 and APP 3 is illustrated. APP 2 and APP 3 may be content information preset to be shared in a second user terminal (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the second user terminal (330) of FIG. 3, the second user terminal (420) of FIG. 4, and the second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8)) and a third user terminal (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the third user terminal (340) of FIG. 3, and the third user terminal (430) of FIG. 4), respectively.

[0129] A user of a user terminal (1000) (e.g., an electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, a user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, a first user terminal (320) to a fourth user terminal (350) of FIG. 3, a first user terminal (410) to a fourth user terminal (440) of FIG. 4, a user terminal (500) of FIG. 5, a first user terminal (810) of FIG. 8, a second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8, and a user terminal (900) of FIG. 9) may want to additionally share content information included in the user terminal (1000). The user of the user terminal (1000) may select content information that he or she wants to share on a home screen (e.g., a home screen (511) of FIG. 5).

[0130] According to one embodiment, a user can additionally share content information by dragging and dropping content information that he or she wants to share onto the first screen (1010). The user terminal (1000) can transmit the added content information to an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, the electronic device (400) of FIG. 4, and the electronic device (800) of FIG. 8) mounted on a vehicle (e.g., the vehicle (300) of FIG. 3). The electronic device can update the sharing UI to display the added content information. The electronic device can synchronize other user terminals to display the updated sharing UI. For example, a second user terminal (1020) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the second user terminal (330) of FIG. 3, the second user terminal (420) of FIG. 4, and the second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8)) can display the added content information.

[0131] According to one embodiment, a user can select content information to be shared for a threshold period of time or longer. The user terminal (1000) can receive content information to be shared from the user for a threshold period of time or longer. The user terminal (1000) can display a pop-up window (1030) below the content information selected for the threshold period of time or longer. The pop-up window (1030) can include buttons that can execute various functions for the content information. The user can select a share button in the pop-up window (1030) to add the content selected for the threshold period of time or longer to the first screen (1010) and share it with other user terminals. The user terminal (1000) can transmit the content information for which the share button is selected to an electronic device. The electronic device can update the sharing UI to display the added content information. The electronic device can synchronize other user terminals to display the updated sharing UI.

[0132] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the method of adding content information described above is only one of various embodiments, and that the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0133] FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are drawings for explaining information displayed on a sharing UI according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0134] Referring to FIG. 11, a method of displaying content information on a first screen (1110) (e.g., the first screen (540) of FIG. 5, the first screen (620) of FIG. 6, the first screen (920) of FIG. 9, and the first screen (1010) of FIG. 10) is illustrated.

[0135] The user terminal (1100) (e.g., the electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the first user terminal (320) to the fourth user terminal (350) of FIG. 3, the first user terminal (410) to the fourth user terminal (440) of FIG. 4, the user terminal (500) of FIG. 5, the first user terminal (810) of FIG. 8, the second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8, the user terminal (900) of FIG. 9, the user terminal (1000) of FIG. 10, and the second user terminal (1020) of FIG. 10) may display a content list in addition to simply displaying shared content information. For example, the content list may be a recommendation list set in advance by a user of a user terminal that has shared the corresponding content information to share. The content list may be a recommendation list provided by a company that provides the shared content information. The example of the content list described above is only one of various embodiments, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0136] Referring to FIG. 12, information related to a vehicle (e.g., vehicle (300) of FIG. 3) displayed on a second screen (1210) (e.g., second screen (550) of FIG. 5, second screen (630) of FIG. 6, and second screen (930) of FIG. 9) is shown.

[0137] Information related to the vehicle displayed on the second screen (1210) may include navigation information (1207) being executed by an electronic device mounted on the vehicle. Information related to the vehicle displayed on the second screen (1210) may include vehicle operation information. For example, the vehicle operation information may include vehicle speed, total distance traveled, and fuel efficiency. Control information for peripheral devices mounted on the vehicle related to the vehicle displayed on the second screen (1210) may include information on lighting information (1201), vehicle air conditioning information (1203), and emergency light information (1205). The information that the second screen (1210) can display is merely an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The user terminal (1200) may change the information displayed on the second screen (1210) by receiving a preset gesture or the like from the user.

[0138] The user can control the peripheral devices mounted on the vehicle using the control information for the peripheral devices displayed on the second screen (1210). For example, the user can check the lighting information (1201) on the second screen (1210) to determine whether the lighting is turned on or off. The user can control the lighting to turn on or off by touching the lighting information (1201). For example, the user can check the temperature inside the vehicle using the vehicle air conditioning information (1203). The user can control the vehicle air conditioning information (1203) to cause the air conditioning device to increase or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0139] However, if the air conditioning and / or lighting related to the driver's seat are controlled by a passenger other than the driver, it may affect the driver and distract the driver. Therefore, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, the electronic device (400) of FIG. 4, and the electronic device (800) of FIG. 8) may be configured to display only control information based on the location of the user terminal to the user terminal.

[0140] In one embodiment, an electronic device may be configured to identify the in-vehicle location of each of two or more user terminals within the vehicle. For example, the electronic device may identify the in-vehicle location of a user terminal based on a charging port or communication port to which the user terminal is connected. In another example, the electronic device may identify the in-vehicle location of a user terminal based on an input provided by the user terminal (i.e., the user of the user terminal may identify his or her own location within the vehicle).

[0141] According to one embodiment, an electronic device may identify a location of a user terminal within a vehicle based on information received from one or more sensors within the user terminal. The electronic device may control the output of various lights and / or speakers within the vehicle and obtain data from sensors (e.g., the sensor module (176) and the camera module (180) of FIG. 1) to identify the location of the user terminal within the vehicle based on the information obtained from the sensors. For example, the electronic device may activate a light above the front passenger seat and obtain data from cameras of user terminals within the vehicle to identify whether any of the user terminals is located in the front passenger seat.

[0142] The electronic device can synchronize the display of different control information for each of two or more user terminals based on the identified in-vehicle locations of the two or more user terminals. For example, the electronic device can identify the location of the user terminal of a passenger seated in the passenger seat and synchronize the display of only control information for the passenger seat for that user terminal. The electronic device can synchronize the display of control information for lighting directed toward the passenger seat and control information for the air conditioning directed toward the passenger seat for that user terminal. On the other hand, the emergency lights (1205) can be displayed for all user terminals connected to the electronic device to allow access to all user terminals in an emergency situation.

[0143] FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining control of content according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0144] Referring to FIG. 13, an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, an electronic device (200) of FIG. 2, an electronic device (400) of FIG. 4, and an electronic device (800) of FIG. 8) displaying content data (1320) (e.g., content data (925) of FIG. 9), a first user terminal (1300) (e.g., an electronic device (102) of FIG. 1, a user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, a first user terminal (320) of FIG. 3, a first user terminal (410) of FIG. 4, a user terminal (500) of FIG. 5, a first user terminal (810) of FIG. 8, a user terminal (900) of FIG. 9, a user terminal (1000) of FIG. 10, a user terminal (1100) of FIG. 11, and a user terminal (1200) of FIG. 12)) and a second user terminal (1310) (e.g., an electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) displaying content data (1320) (e.g., a content data (925) of FIG. 9)) The device (102), the user terminal (210) of FIG. 2, the second user terminal (330) of FIG. 3, the second user terminal (420) of FIG. 4, the second user terminal (820) of FIG. 8, and the second user terminal (1020) of FIG. 10 are illustrated.

[0145] Content data (1320) can be controlled by a control button (1321). If the content data (1320) is a video, the control button (1321) can include a rewind button, a stop / play button, and a fast forward button.

[0146] According to one embodiment, content data (1320) can be controlled by selection of a control button (1321) displayed on any one of the electronic device, the first user terminal (1300), and the second user terminal (1310). For example, when the electronic device, the first user terminal (1300), and the second user terminal (1310) are displaying the same content data (1320) according to execution of the same content, the user can control the content data (1320) being displayed by the electronic device, the first user terminal (1300), and the second user terminal (1310) at once by using the control button (1321) displayed on any one of the electronic device, the first user terminal (1300), and the second user terminal (1310).

[0147] According to one embodiment, when an electronic device, a first user terminal (1300), and a second user terminal (1310) display different content data (1320), a user can control the electronic device, the first user terminal (1300), and the second user terminal (1310) using control buttons (1321) included in each of the electronic device, the first user terminal (1300), and the second user terminal (1310).

[0148] FIG. 14 is a drawing for explaining the display of content information according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

If the user selects content information that has been selected and is running on another user terminal, the user terminal that has shared the content information may run the content again. In this case, the user terminal that has shared the content information may experience resource shortage and rapid battery consumption. The user terminal (1400) may induce the user to select other shared content information by displaying "Running" on the shared content information that has been selected and is running on another user terminal.

[0151] According to one embodiment, when control information for a peripheral device mounted on a vehicle (e.g., vehicle (300) of FIG. 3) displayed on a second screen (1420) (e.g., second screen (550) of FIG. 5, second screen (630) of FIG. 6, second screen (930) of FIG. 9, and second screen (1210) of FIG. 12) is being controlled by another user terminal, “under control” may be displayed at the bottom of the control information. For example, when a user is controlling an air conditioning device, the user terminal (1400) may display “under control” at the bottom of vehicle air conditioning information (e.g., vehicle air conditioning information (1203) of FIG. 12) on the second screen (1420). By displaying “under control” on the second screen (1420), the user terminal (1400) may inform the user that the air conditioning device is currently being controlled. The user terminal (1400) can prevent duplicate control by multiple users by displaying the control status for the peripheral device.

[0152] FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining sharing of content information according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0159] The shared UI displayed by the user terminal (1600) and the display module (1610) of the electronic device may have the same theme applied to them to provide a common sharing experience to users. For example, if a dark theme is applied to the shared UI displayed by the user terminal (1600), the dark theme may also be applied to the shared UI displayed by the display module (1610) of the electronic device.

[0160] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can change the theme of the shared UI based on the vehicle's (e.g., vehicle (300) of FIG. 3) location on the map, based on the vehicle's GPS. The theme of the shared UI based on the map location may be a theme related to the area the vehicle is passing through. For example, the theme of the shared UI based on the map location may be a theme related to a representative tourist attraction in the area the vehicle is passing through. The electronic device can synchronize user terminals so that the changed theme is displayed on the shared UI.

[0161] According to one embodiment, an electronic device can change the theme of a shared UI based on the destination of a navigation operation being performed on the electronic device. For example, if the destination of a navigation operation being performed on the electronic device is a theme park, the electronic device can change the theme of the shared UI to a theme related to the theme park. The electronic device can synchronize user terminals so that the changed theme is displayed on the shared UI. Referring to FIG. 16, a user terminal (1600) and a display module (1610) of the electronic device are illustrated displaying a shared UI with a theme including a Ferris wheel applied when the navigation destination is a theme park.

[0162] In one embodiment, the electronic device may change the theme of the sharing UI based on the time of day. For example, a darker theme may be applied during the evening, and a brighter theme may be applied during the day. Furthermore, the electronic device may change the theme of the sharing UI based on the ages of the vehicle occupants. For example, if all occupants are determined to be adults, a different theme may be applied to the sharing UI, and if one or more occupants are determined to be children, a different theme may be applied.
