Information processing apparatus and control method thereof

An information processing system, the system comprising:

• a server;
• and
• a plurality of information processing apparatuses configured to:
• communicate with the server,
• respectively store a platform comprising an event processor and a client communicator, and a plurality of applications, and
• respectively execute the platform and the plurality of applications,
• wherein a first information processing apparatus, from among the plurality of information processing apparatuses, is configured to:
• process an operation corresponding to an event generated in a first application stored in the first information processing apparatus, and
• transfer the event generated in the first application to the server,
• wherein the server is configured to:
• verify a category of the event and depending on a result of the verification, select at least one second information processing apparatus among the plurality of information processing apparatuses, and
• transfer the event to the second information processing apparatus,
• wherein the event processor is configured to select a second application from at least one of a music application, an image application or a text application based on operations for at least one of a predetermined music, image or text event predefined in the platform,
• wherein a third application installed in the second information processing apparatus is executed in response to the event and performs a reaction,
• wherein, when the event is related to contents data in performing the reaction, the third application executed in the second information processing apparatus sends a request for the contents data related to the event to the first information processing apparatus via the server,
• wherein the first information processing apparatus is further configured to, in response to the receiving of the request for the contents data from the server, transfer the contents data related to the event to the server, and
• wherein the server is further configured to transfer the contents data related to the event to the third application executed in the second information processing apparatus.

A control method of an information processing apparatus storing a platform comprising an event processor and a client communicator, and a plurality of applications, the method comprising:

• generating an event corresponding to a predetermined operation in a first application from among the plurality of applications;
• processing the predetermined operation to be executed by a second application from among the plurality of applications;
• communicating with a server communicably connected with a plurality of external devices;
• and
• transferring the event to the server,
• wherein the predetermined operation is executed by a third application stored in at least one external device,
• wherein the server is configured to verify a category of the event, and depending on a result of the verification, select the at least one external device among the plurality of external devices,
• wherein the event processor is configured to select the second application from at least one of a music application, an image application or a text application based on operations for at least one of a predetermined music, image or text event predefined in the platform,
• wherein a third application installed in the at least one external device is executed in response to the event and performs a reaction,
• wherein, when the event is related to contents data in performing the reaction, the third application executed in the at least one external device sends a request for the contents data related to the event to the information processing apparatus via the server, and
• wherein the information processing apparatus, in response to the receiving of the request for the contents data from the server, is further configured to transfer the contents data related to the event to the server, and the server is further configured to transfer the contents data related to the event to the third application executed in the at least one external device.
