The output unit 150 includes a control unit and a display unit 151 for displaying information received from the terminal P and an audio output module 152 for outputting audio information received from the terminal P, . ≪ / RTI >

When the short distance communication module 114 wants to transmit an authentication signal to the terminal P through short distance communication, the display unit 151 may display terminals capable of short-range communication with the portable terminal 100. [

The display unit 151 may display the control menu in the form of a list, a thumbnail, or a graphical user interface (GUI).

As shown in FIG. 1, information received from the terminal P may be stored in the memory 160 related to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory 160 may be provided with a memory area in which information received from the terminal P is stored. The memory area may be implemented as a separate folder and may alleviate the phenomenon of being confused with the information stored in the portable terminal 100.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a remote control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A user who can not directly operate his own terminal P can request a remote control access to the terminal P by using the wireless communication unit 100 to control the terminal P through the portable terminal 100 (S10). The step of making a remote control connection request may be performed using an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).

If the remote control connection of the portable terminal 100 is permitted by the terminal P, the portable terminal 100 can use the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit a plurality of (S11) of the remote control operation is permitted.

Upon receiving the menu information from the terminal P, the portable terminal 100 can display the control menu related to the received menu information using the output unit 150. The menu information can be visually output using the display unit 151 (S12).

When at least one control menu among the displayed control menus is selected, the controller 180 generates a control signal associated with the selected control menu and transmits the control signal to the terminal P via the wireless communication unit 110 (S13 ).

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying a list of terminals capable of short-distance communication on a portable terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 can attempt to communicate with the terminal P through various methods in order to allow the mobile terminal 100 to access the remote control of the terminal P. [ When the mobile terminal 100 attempts to communicate with the terminal P, the mobile terminal 100 may preferentially attempt the short distance communication using the short distance communication module 114. As described above, Bluetooth, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, and the like can be used as a short distance communication technology. Local communication is not charged to the user. Therefore, when the authentication signal transmission and the remote control are performed by the short distance communication method, the charge burden can be minimized.

The mobile terminal 100 searches for a terminal capable of short-range communication existing in the vicinity of the mobile terminal 100 in order to allow remote control access of the terminal P (S20). The output unit 150 of the portable terminal 100 may output a list of peripheral devices which can be communicated by the local communication module (S21). As shown in FIG. 9, the list of the terminals capable of short-range communication can be displayed on the display unit 151. FIG. Or a list of terminals capable of distance communication can be output through the audio output module 152.

When the short range communication module 114 searches for a terminal capable of short range communication existing around the mobile terminal 100, the controller 180 determines whether the mobile terminal 100 can communicate with the mobile terminal 100 (S22).

When short-range communication is possible between the terminal P and the portable terminal 100, the short-range communication module 114 can transmit an authentication signal using short-distance communication (S23). The authentication signal includes an authentication code for accessing the terminal P by the portable terminal 100.

10 is a diagram illustrating an example of transmitting an authentication signal using a mobile communication module when short-range communication between a terminal and a mobile terminal is impossible.

If it is impossible to perform short-range communication between the terminal P and the mobile terminal 100, the controller 180 may transmit the authentication signal using the mobile communication module 113 (S24). In the case where the short distance communication is impossible, when the short distance communication module is not installed in the terminal P, when the power to the short distance communication module is not enough for the short distance communication module to the terminal P, May include a case where the local communication module mounted in the local communication module exists at a position where the authentication signal can not be reached.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a process of allowing a remote control connection using an authentication signal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

12 is a diagram illustrating various examples in which an authentication signal is input in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.

The mobile terminal 100 may transmit a signal for requesting a remote control connection to the terminal P using the wireless communication unit 110. (S31) The terminal P or the server P May request the portable terminal 100 to transmit an authentication signal. When the authentication signal transmission is requested, the portable terminal 100 transmits an authentication signal to the terminal P or a server that controls the terminal.

The authentication signal may be a signal including a signal associated with a unique authentication code. The authentication code means a unique identification code used by a user to prevent a third party from being granted a remote control connection to his or her terminal P. [

The authentication code may be pre-set in the mobile terminal 100 or may be a combination of at least one number, letters, special characters, or the like (for example, * 12AB may be set as an authentication code) The length or number of connection signals, or the user's biometric data and user's actions.

12A, 12B, and 12C, the biometric data may be fingerprint data, eye recognition (iris recognition) data, voice data, or the like.

In order to receive a signal related to the fingerprint data, the portable terminal 100 recognizes the fingerprint data using the touch pad of the user input unit 130 or further includes a fingerprint recognition module separate from the touchpad, Can be recognized.

When the fingerprint data is recognized using the touchpad, the user can input an authentication code by touching a specific area of the touchpad 130. [ When the user touches a specific area of the touch pad 130, the controller 180 analyzes the pattern of the fingerprint touched in the specific area, generates the corresponding authentication code, and transmits the authentication code through the wireless communication unit 110. If the authentication signal coincides with a preset authentication signal for determining whether or not remote control is permitted, remote control can be allowed.

When the fingerprint data is recognized by the additional fingerprint recognition module, the fingerprint recognition module may be implemented by an optical method (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) or a non-optical method (Silicon Chip Sensing).

In the optical system, there is a light source for irradiating light in one direction, and when a user places a finger in a direction in which the light source irradiates light, light reflected by the finger is input to a charge-coupled device (CCD) Converted into an electrical signal, and transmitted to the controller of the portable terminal.

In the non-optical system, when the user touches the surface of the silicon chip with his or her finger, the electrical conduction characteristic of the skin changes the electrical conduction characteristic on the surface of the silicon chip contacting the finger, And transmitted to the control unit of the portable terminal.

As shown in FIG. 12B, the authentication code may be a signal associated with the iris data. As shown in FIG. 1, the camera 121 can photograph a user's pupil for input of iris data. When the camera 121 photographs the user's eyeball, the controller 180 analyzes the generated eyeball and generates an authentication code corresponding to the acquired authentication code and transmits the authentication code through the wireless communication unit 110. If the authentication signal coincides with the authentication signal set for the remote control permission decision, remote control can be allowed.

As shown in FIG. 12C, the authentication code may be a signal associated with voice data. As shown in FIG. 1, the microphone 122 may record a user's voice for inputting voice data. When the microphone 123 records the voice of the user, the control unit 180 analyzes the voice, generates the corresponding authentication code, and transmits the authentication code through the wireless communication unit 110. If the authentication signal coincides with a predetermined authentication signal for determining whether or not remote control is permitted, remote control can be allowed.

As shown in FIG. 12D, the authentication code may be a signal related to the pattern of the touch input of the user. When a user draws a specific touch input pattern (an S-shaped input pattern in FIG. 12D) using the touch pad 130, the control unit 180 generates an authentication code corresponding to the input pattern and transmits the authentication code to the wireless communication unit 110 If the authentication signal matches a preset 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, a dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signal, short message service (SMS) data, and voice data transmitted using an Internet protocol.

It is determined whether or not the authentication signal transmitted by the portable terminal 100 matches a predetermined authentication signal (S33). If the authentication signals match, the remote control is permitted (S34) (S35).

13A and 13B are diagrams showing an example of outputting whether or not remote control connection is permitted by an authentication signal.

As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, whether the remote control is permitted or not according to whether or not the authentication signal is coincident can be output to the display unit 151 of the portable terminal 100 (S36). The remote control permission or non-permission may be output through the sound output module 152.
