Referring to FIG. 1, a service profile sharing system between heterogeneous devices according to the present invention may include a mobile terminal 110 and an external device 120.

In the present invention, a service profile means a history of operations performed by a user while using the apparatus. For example, the service profile may include history information on an application such as a user's use of a game through when and from when the device is used, which sound source the user has played through the device, History information about the Internet browser such as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator)) or a type of a site (for example, a portal site, a news site, etc.) History information on the TV channel, such as when and from when.

The mobile terminal 110 is a device that remotely controls the external device 120 through short-range wireless communication and shares the service profile with the remotely controlled external device 120. At this time, the mobile terminal 110 may implement a mouse function or a remote controller function to control the external device 120 remotely. That is, the service profile, which is information on the history of the operation performed by the external device 120 while the user controls the external device 120 using the mobile terminal 110 as a mouse or a remote controller, continuously changes (or accumulates) When the user releases the control of the external device 120 using the mobile terminal 110, the changed service profile is received from the external device 120 and stored. Thereafter, the user can use the mobile terminal 110 in the same environment as the external device 120.

The mobile terminal 110 described herein may be a mobile phone, a smart phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player), a cellular phone, a PCS (Personal Communication Service) A mobile phone, a wideband CDMA (WCDMA) phone, a mobile broadband system (MBS) phone, and the like, but may be included in a device that can control the external device 120 through a mouse or a remote control function.

2. Remote control of external device

2. 1. Mouse Functions

2 illustrates an example of controlling an external device using a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention as a mouse.

Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 110 performs a mouse interface with the touch screen 210 so that the user can use the touch pad mouse function. When the mouse interface is executed, the touch area 220 is displayed in a region of a part of the touch screen 210 of the mobile terminal 110. The touch area 220 is an area for performing a touch pad mouse function, and is an area for receiving touch input such as touch or drag from the user. At this time, the touch area 220 may be displayed in a color different from that of the touch screen. The right button and the left button may be displayed on the touch screen 210 in the touch area 220 or on the touch screen 210 to receive a button input from the user.

A mouse pointer is displayed on the display area 230 of the external device 120. At this time, the mouse pointer can be displayed on the display area 230 of the external device 120 when the mouse interface is executed on the mobile terminal 110, The display of the mouse pointer can be started in the display area 230 of the external device 120 from the time when the touch input signal is transmitted to the external device 120. [

When the user places a finger on the touch area 220 of the mobile terminal 110 and moves his or her finger, the mobile terminal 110 transmits the touch input signal corresponding to the touch input to the external device 120 through the near field wireless communication. The external device 120 operates the mouse pointer on the display area 230 of the external device 120 according to the touch input signal. That is, the mouse pointer moves in response to the finger movement of the user on the touch region 220. When a selection input is received from the user on the right button and the left button, an operation according to the selected mouse button is performed.

Meanwhile, a gesture mouse function may be implemented in the mobile terminal 110 instead of a touch pad mouse function. In this case, when the user holds the mobile terminal 110 and takes a gesture such as a movement in a specific direction or a circular movement, the mobile terminal 110 senses the gesture operation of the user and transmits the gesture operation to the external device 120 using a mouse input signal. . Accordingly, the mouse pointer moves on the display area 230 of the external device 120 or the corresponding operation is performed according to the gesture operation of the user.

The above-described method of using the mobile terminal 110 as a mouse of the external device 120 is a well-known technology, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

2. 2. Remote control function

Referring to FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 110 executes a remote control interface on the touch screen 310 so that the user can use the remote control function. When the remote control interface is executed, a plurality of buttons of the remote control are displayed in the area of the touch screen 310 of the mobile terminal 110. At this time, since a plurality of buttons of the remote controller displayed in the area of the touch screen 310 may be different for each external device 120, in this case, the mobile terminal 110 may include an external The identification information of the device 120 can be input. The mobile terminal 110 recognizes the identification information of the external device 120 received from the user and displays a plurality of buttons of the remote controller displayed in the area of the touch screen 310 differently according to the external device 120 . In this case, the mobile terminal 110 may extract the remote control button information stored in advance and display the remote control button information on the touch screen 310. The remote terminal button 120 receives the remote control button information for controlling the external device 120 using the external network, You may.

When the mobile terminal 110 receives a selection input from the user on the remote control button displayed on the touch screen 310, the mobile terminal 110 transmits the remote control input signal corresponding to the button to the external device 120 through the near field wireless communication. Accordingly, the external device 120 performs an operation according to the received remote control input signal.

The above-described method of using the mobile terminal 110 as a remote controller of the external device 120 is a well-known technology, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

3. How to Share a Service Profile

Hereinafter, a method of remotely controlling the external device 120 using the mobile terminal 110 and sharing a service profile between the different types of devices is proposed. The service profile can be shared between the mobile terminal 110 and the external device 120 by using each method described below. Each method described below is only one embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the method for sharing the service profile between different types of devices.

3. 1. First Example

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of sharing a service profile between different types of devices according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 110 first searches for peripheral devices in order to initiate near field wireless communication with a nearby device (e.g., the external device 120) (S401) to initiate the short-range wireless communication with the searched external device 120 in step S401. At this time, the mobile terminal 110 can broadcast a connection request message to neighboring devices located within the transmission range of the radio frequency according to the short-range wireless communication scheme.

The external device 120, which is within the transmission radius of the connection request message of the mobile terminal 110 and receives the connection request message from the mobile terminal 110, transmits a connection response Message (S403). The external device 120 transmits a connection response message so that the mobile terminal 110 and the external device 120 establish short-range wireless communication. At this time, the external device 120 may transmit a connection response message to the mobile terminal 110 after receiving a connection request message to the mobile terminal 110 in a ready mode for a short-range wireless communication connection with another apparatus .

Since a series of procedures for establishing the short-range wireless communication between the mobile terminal 110 and the external device 120 are widely known, a detailed description will be omitted.

The mobile terminal 110 having established the short-range wireless communication with the external device 120 transmits a message requesting the service profile to the external device 120 (S407).

Next, the mobile terminal 110 controls the operation of the external device 120 through the mouse or remote control function as described in (2) above (S409). For example, the user may use the mobile terminal 110 to execute a specific application of the external device 120, or to connect to a specific site through an Internet browser, And stored cumulatively. That is, the external device 120 performs the operation under the control of the mobile terminal 110 through the step S409 in the previously stored service profile, while the information included in the service profile according to the operation to be performed is deleted, can be changed.

The external device 120 performing the corresponding operation through the remote control of the mobile terminal 110 generates the changed service profile and transmits it to the mobile terminal 110 (S411). At this time, the external device 120 receives a control signal (for example, a mouse input signal and a remote control input signal) received from the mobile terminal 110 and performs a specific operation, To the mobile terminal 110 and may periodically transmit the changed service profile to the mobile terminal 110 at a predetermined time interval.

The external device 110 may transmit the entire changed service profile to the mobile terminal 110 or may transmit only a part of the changed service profile to the mobile terminal 110 by the remote control signal of the mobile terminal 110 .

The mobile terminal 110 receiving the service profile from the external device 120 stores the service profile therein (S413). At this time, the mobile terminal 110 can completely delete the previous service profile by updating the service profile stored before step S401 with the service profile received in step S411. Also, it is possible to compare the service profile stored before the step S401 with the received service profile in the mobile terminal 110, extract a newly added part, and store only a part of the extracted service profile. This is to prevent the information included only in the service profile stored in the mobile terminal 110 from being deleted by updating the service profile stored in the mobile terminal 110 with the service profile received from the external device 120. [ For example, if the service profile previously stored in the mobile terminal 110 includes information of a moving image being played back and the service profile received by the external apparatus 120 does not include moving image playback information , The playback information of the moving image stored in the mobile terminal 110 can be deleted.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal 110 transmits a connection release message for releasing the connection of the short distance wireless communication to the external device 120 (S415), and transmits a response message for the connection release of the short distance wireless connection from the external device 120 (S417), the mobile terminal 110 is disconnected from the external device 120 in short-range wireless communication.

At this time, when the external device 120 transmits a response message for the connection release in response to the connection release message for releasing connection of the short-range wireless communication of the mobile terminal 110, the external device 120 transmits the changed service profile together . As described above, by transmitting the service profile together with the connection release message, it is possible to prevent the gap between the external device 120 and the mobile terminal 110 from being used. For example, when the mobile terminal 110 receives a service profile from the external device 120 with a predetermined period, if the connection between the mobile terminal 110 and the external device 120 is canceled during the period, The service profile for the operation performed by the external device 120 can not be received from the time of receiving the connection until the connection is released.

Thus, by storing the service profile received from the external device 120, the user can use the service used in the external device 120 seamlessly with the mobile terminal 110. For example, the user can use the same address information of the site accessed through the Internet browser of the external device 120 in the mobile terminal 110, thereby conveniently reconnecting the Internet sites through such information. In addition, when the external device 120 registers a specific site as a favorite site through the Internet browser, the same site is also registered as a favorite site in the mobile terminal 120 so that the user can easily access the site later. Also, the information about the sound source reproduced by the external device 110 or the information about the sound source list is also used in the mobile terminal 110, so that the sound source is also stored in the mobile terminal 110 as a reproduction history or a reproduction list, The same sound source can be continuously reproduced.

The method of sharing the service profile of the external device 120 with the mobile terminal 110 has been described above. However, if a terminal (or a device) is connected to a radius capable of establishing short-range wireless communication with the external device 120 and receives a service profile stored in the external device 120, personal information of the user may be exposed Therefore, we propose a method to prevent this.

3. 2. 2nd Example

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of sharing a service profile between different types of devices according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the same description as the embodiment according to Fig. 4 will be omitted.

5, the mobile terminal 110 transmits a connection request message to start the short-range wireless communication to the external device 120 (S501), and establishes a connection for short-range wireless communication from the external device 120 Upon receiving the connection response message (S503), short-range wireless communication with the external device 120 is established.

The mobile terminal 110 having established the short-range wireless communication with the external device 120 transmits a message requesting the service profile to the external device 120 (S507).

The external device 120 receiving the service profile request message performs a process of authenticating the mobile terminal 110 to determine whether it is allowed to share the service profile with the corresponding mobile terminal 110 that has transmitted the message S509).

As an example of authenticating the mobile terminal 110, a pop-up window for confirming whether or not the user of the external device 120 agrees with the sharing of the service profile is output. When the user receives the agreement input from the user It can be determined that the authentication of the corresponding mobile terminal 110 is successful.

In step S509, the external device 120 requests the user to input a password through the pop-up window. If the password is identical to the stored password, the external device 120 authenticates the corresponding mobile terminal 110 It may be judged to be successful.

In addition, the external device 120 may register the identification information of the terminal (or the device) in advance and store the identification information, authenticate the mobile terminal 110 by checking whether the registered identification information is the mobile terminal 110 have. Here, an example of the terminal identification information may include a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a Mobile Identification Number (MIN), and an Electronic Serial Number (ESN).

On the other hand, if the terminal receives an input indicating that the user does not agree with the sharing of the service profile, or if the password is different from the predetermined number of times or more, or does not correspond to the registered identification information, (Or device) can refuse to share the service profile. At this time, the external device 120 may transmit a reject message to the terminal (or device) that fails authentication, and may not transmit a response message to the service profile request message in step S507.

If the authentication is successful in step S509, the external device 120 transmits an authentication success message to the mobile terminal 110 in step S110, and the mobile terminal 110, which succeeded in authentication, The operation of the external device 120 is controlled through the remote control function (S513).

The external device 120 performing the operation through the remote control of the mobile terminal 110 generates the changed service profile and transmits it to the mobile terminal 110 (S515). At this time, the external device 120 can transmit the service profile to the mobile terminal 110 at a time when the operation ends or at a predetermined period each time the specific operation is performed. In addition, the entirety of the changed service profile may be transmitted or only a part of the changed service profile may be transmitted.

Upon receiving the service profile from the external device 120, the mobile terminal 110 internally stores the service profile (S517). At this time, the mobile terminal 110 can completely delete the previous service profile by updating the service profile stored before step S501 to the service profile received in step S515. Also, it is possible to compare the service profile stored before the step S501 with the received service profile in the mobile terminal 110, extract a newly added part, and store only a part of the extracted service profile.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal 110 transmits a connection release message for releasing the connection of the short-range wireless communication to the external device 120 (S519), and transmits a response message for the connection release of the short-range wireless communication from the external device 120 (S521), the mobile terminal 110 is disconnected from the external device 120 by short-range wireless communication. At this time, when the external device 120 transmits a response message for the connection release in response to the connection release message for releasing connection of the short-range wireless communication of the mobile terminal 110, the external device 120 transmits the changed service profile together .

In the foregoing, a method of sharing the service profile with the mobile terminal 110 by the external device 120 has been described. However, when the user uses the external device 120 while using the mobile terminal 110 by receiving the service profile by the mobile terminal 110 after using the external device 120, a space for service use may be generated Therefore, we propose measures to prevent this.
