In this specification, a function means execution of at least one operation to achieve a specific purpose. Here, execution of at least one operation for performing a function may mean execution of at least one subfunction for performing a function.

For example, a function herein may be performed as an execution of at least one sub-function to achieve a particular purpose. For example, when execution of at least one operation is required to perform a function, the function can be performed by performing each subfunction for executing each operation. The subfunctions required for the function to be performed can be performed to perform an operation corresponding to each subfunction.

The types of functions, capabilities, and actions for determining functions, capabilities, and behaviors may be predetermined.

The function, capability and operation will be described in more detail by way of example of the call function. A mobile terminal performing a call function may be configured to perform a plurality of subfunctions for performing the call function in order to perform a call function, An audio output operation for providing the received audio data to the user as audio information using the speaker, and an audio input operation for generating the audio data by recording the user's voice using a microphone And further perform a call function by performing a user interface providing operation for controlling the apparatus.

For example, the mobile terminal 110 may perform a call function. The mobile terminal 110 may perform a communication function, an audio output operation, and an audio input operation to perform a call function. In this example, the mobile terminal 110 should include communication capability, audio output capability, and audio input capability to perform the call function. For example, the call function may be a communication operation performed using a communication unit having an audio input operation performed using a microphone having audio input capability, an audio output operation performed using a speaker having audio output capability, and a communication capability Lt; / RTI >

The mobile terminal 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention can provide the function of the mobile terminal 110 by using the operations performed by each of the plurality of wearable devices connected to the mobile terminal 110 together. The mobile terminal 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine whether a plurality of wearable devices are connected to the mobile terminal 110. [ The mobile terminal 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention can obtain information on the operation that the connected wearable device can execute from the wearable device. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 110 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may store information on operations that the connected wearable device can execute in advance in the memory. The mobile terminal 110 may determine whether or not the wearable device can perform the operation and may perform the function of the mobile terminal 110 by interlocking the operations of the wearable devices connected to the mobile terminal 110.

The mobile terminal 110 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention performs a connection with at least one wearable device. The mobile terminal 110 may connect to at least one wearable device to transmit and receive data. The mobile terminal 110 may be a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a fixed terminal such as a desktop PC, a repeater such as a home network server, and the present invention is not limited to this example.

The mobile terminal 110 may identify the wearable device connected to the mobile terminal 110. The mobile terminal 110 may generate capability information that is information on an operation that the connected wearable device can execute. For example, the mobile terminal 110 may receive capability information for operations that the wearable device can perform from the wearable device. The mobile terminal 110 can receive the capability information of the wearable device from the wearable device, and store the capability information of the wearable device in the storage. The mobile terminal 110 may include at least one of a memory and a database as a storage. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 110 may store the capability information of some wearable devices in advance. For example, the mobile terminal 110 may store the capability information of the wearable device released from the same company in advance in the storage. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 110 may receive capability information for a wearable device, or an action that the wearable device can perform from an external device (e.g., a personal computer or a server), if necessary, without pre-storing capability information . For example, when the mobile terminal 110 is connected to a wearable device, the mobile terminal 110 may receive capability information of the wearable device connected from the wearable device. Various situations or conditions by which the mobile terminal 110 receives capability information of the wearable device will be described in detail below from the embodiments.

On the other hand, the degree of capability of the wearable device stored in the storage can be updated. For example, with the mobile terminal 110 storing capability information, the mobile terminal 110 may update the stored capability information when new capability information is received. The mobile terminal 110 may request capability information from the wearable device when connected to the wearable device to update capability information, or may periodically request capability information from the wearable device after being connected to the wearable device. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 110 may request capability information from the wearable device upon occurrence of an event, such as a user input. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 110 may request capability information from an external device, such as a personal computer or a server, to update capability information.

When the capability information of the wearable device is updated, the entire capability information on the action executable in the wearable device may be received and updated, or the wearable device corresponding to the specific function of the mobile terminal may receive and update only capability information. Alternatively, only the changed information in the capability information of the previously stored mobile terminal 100 may be partially updated.

The update of such capability information can be managed by version information. For example, the mobile terminal 110 compares the version information of the stored capability information with the version information of the new capability information for updating, and determines that the version information of the new capability information is newer than the version information of the stored capability information. The update can be performed when the version information is included. The size of the capabilities can be compared by comparing the performance of the operations. The performance of a wearable device to perform a specific operation can be expressed by performance information. And the size of the capability can be compared using this performance information. As described above, the performance of the wearable device to perform a specific operation can be managed with performance information. The performance information may be stored in advance in the wearable device or may be measured and stored in the wearable device. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 110 may receive, store, and manage performance information of the wearable device from the wearable device. Performance information can be managed by being included in capability information. On the other hand, the performance information can be updated. For example, if new performance information is received while the mobile terminal 110 is storing performance information, the mobile terminal 110 may update the previously stored performance information. In order to update performance information, the mobile terminal 110 may request performance information from the wearable device when it is connected to the wearable device, or periodically request performance information from the wearable device after being connected to the wearable device. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 110 may request performance information from the wearable device upon occurrence of an event such as a user input. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 110 may request performance information from an external device such as a personal computer or a server to update performance information.

An example of comparing capability sizes using performance information will be described. For example, if the data transmission performance information of the first wearable device performing the wireless communication operation using the OFDM communication method has a value larger than the data transmission performance information of the second wearable device using the CDMA communication method, It can be determined that the data transmission performance of the wearable device is larger than that of the second wearable device. In this way, the mobile terminal 110 can compare the data transmission performance information of the two devices to determine that the data transmission capability of the first wearable device is relatively good than the data transmission capability of the second wearable device. In addition, the mobile terminal 110 may determine that the first wearable device is relatively better than the second wearable device in wireless communication capabilities, including data transmission capabilities.

Performance information can be expressed using commonly used units depending on the type of capability. Accordingly, the magnitude of the capability can be compared numerically. For example, the wireless communication capability may be compared based on the bit rate per second. The mobile terminal 110 may determine whether to use the wearable device in accordance with the connection state of the connected wearable device. For example, when the wearable device is disconnected, it can be determined not to use the wearable device's operation.

The mobile terminal 110 can determine whether to use the wearable device in accordance with the setting state of the wearable device to which the wearable device is connected. For example, the wearable device may be set not to allow control from another device. In this case, the mobile terminal 110 can not control the wearable device. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 110 can decide not to use the operation of the wearable device.

The first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention are devices connected to the mobile terminal 110 and transmitting and receiving data to and from the mobile terminal 110. [ Generally, a wearable device refers to a device that is worn or attached to the user's body. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 may be devices that are positioned and operated apart from the user's body.

The first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be connected to the mobile terminal 110 through a wired or wireless network. For example, the first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 may each be connected to the mobile terminal 110 in the same network. In another embodiment, the first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 may each be connected to the mobile terminal 110 via a different network.

The first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide the mobile terminal 110 with operation information and / or their capability information that they can perform. The first wearable device 120 and the second wearable device 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform an operation according to an operation execution request received from the mobile terminal 110. [

2 is a flowchart illustrating operations of a function providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile terminal 220 generates mapping information of the plurality of wearable devices (S222). The mapping information is information indicating a wearable device that executes an operation required when performing a specific function. For example, the mapping information may indicate an operation required when performing a specific function. The mapping information may indicate a wearable device used to perform the requested operation. For example, the mapping information may indicate sending an execution request for a particular operation to a specific device. The mapping information may include information on which operation is performed using a specific device used to perform a specific function.

For example, the mapping information may be set as follows so that the mobile terminal 220 performs the call function. The mapping information may indicate that the audio output operation is performed using the earphone of the wearable device. The mapping information may indicate that the audio output request and the audio data are to be transmitted to the earphone of the wearable device. The mapping information may indicate that the audio input operation is performed using a microphone of the wearable device. The mapping information may indicate that the audio input request is to be micro-transmitted among the wearable devices. The microphone may be included in the earphone. The mapping information may indicate that a user interface provided to the user to perform the call function is provided to the smart watch. The mapping information may indicate that the execution request of the user interface and the user interface data provided to the user to perform the call function should be transmitted to the smart watch.

In another example, in order for the mobile terminal 220 to perform the privacy function, the mapping information may be set as follows. The mapping information may indicate that the user interface provided to the user for performing the privacy function is provided to the smart watch. The mapping information may indicate that the execution request of the user interface and the user interface data provided to the user to perform the sabotage protection function should be transmitted to the smart watch. If the information to be provided to the user is the personal information, the mobile terminal 220 provides the information as audible information through the earphone, and if the information to be provided to the user is not privacy information, the mobile terminal 220 can provide visual information through the smart watch. In order for the mobile terminal 220 to provide the information to the user as above, the mapping information may indicate that the auditory information is provided using the earphone of the wearable device, and the visual information is provided as a smart watch among the wearable devices. The mobile terminal 220 may use the mapping information to determine which wearable device to provide audible information and which wearable device to provide visual information.
