As shown in FIG. 1, the controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention processes a received menu information to configure a control menu, and generates a control signal corresponding to a selected control menu among the control menus. If the transmission through the wireless communication unit 110, and it is impossible to transmit the authentication signal using the short-range communication module 114, it may be to transmit the authentication signal using the mobile communication module (112).

The controller 180 may determine which control menu the user selects from among the plurality of control menus using a signal input through the user input unit 130.

In addition, the controller 180 can generate an authentication code necessary to obtain an access right to access the information received from the terminal (P).

A user who cannot directly operate his terminal P may request a remote control connection to the terminal P using the wireless communication unit 100 to control the terminal P through the mobile terminal 100. There is (S10). The request for the remote control connection may be performed by using an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS).

When the remote control connection of the portable terminal 100 is permitted by the terminal P, the portable terminal 100 performs a plurality of operations performed by the terminal P from the terminal P using the wireless communication unit 110.

In order for the portable terminal 100 to be allowed to access the remote control of the terminal P, the portable terminal 100 may attempt to communicate with the terminal P through various methods. When the mobile terminal 100 attempts to communicate with the terminal P, the short range communication may be preferentially attempted using the short range communication module 114. As described above, Bluetooth, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, and the like may be used. Near field communication is not charged to the user. Therefore, when performing the authentication signal transmission and remote control by the short-range communication method, the charge burden can be minimized.

When the mobile terminal 100 attempts short-range communication in order to be allowed to access the remote control of the terminal P (S20), the short-range communication module 114 searches for a terminal capable of short-range communication existing in the vicinity. The output unit 150 of the mobile terminal 100 may output a list of peripheral devices capable of short-range communication searched by the short-range communication module (S21). As illustrated in FIG. 9, the list of terminals capable of short range communication may be displayed on the display unit 151. Alternatively, a list of terminals capable of distance communication may be output through the sound output module 152.

When the short-range communication module 114 searches for a terminal capable of short-range communication that exists around the portable terminal 100, the controller 180 may determine whether the terminal P and the portable terminal 100 can communicate in a short distance. It may be (S22).

Can be recognized.

When the fingerprint data is recognized using the touch pad, the user may input an authentication code by touching a specific area of the touch pad 130. When the user touches a specific area of the touch pad 130, the controller 180 analyzes the pattern of the fingerprint touched on the specific area, generates an authentication code corresponding thereto, and transmits the generated authentication code through the wireless communication unit 110.

If the authentication signal matches a predetermined authentication signal for determining whether to allow remote control, remote control may be allowed.

As shown in FIG. 12D, the authentication code may be a signal related to a pattern of the user's touch input. When the user draws a specific touch input pattern (S-shaped input pattern in FIG. 12D) by using the touch pad 130, the controller 180 generates an authentication code corresponding to the input pattern to generate the wireless communication unit 110. If the authentication signal matches a predetermined authentication signal for determining whether to allow remote control, remote control may be allowed.

The authentication signal may be transmitted in the form of packet data transmitted using an internet protocol, a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) signal, short message service (SMS) data, and voice data.

It is determined whether the authentication signal transmitted from the portable terminal 100 and the predetermined authentication signal match (S33). If the authentication signal matches, remote control is allowed (S34), and if it does not match, the remote control may be rejected. (S35).
