Abstract
A mobile terminal and a method operating the same are provided. The method includes generating a list of a service that may be provided to an external via a Local Area Network (LAN), transmitting the generated service list to the external terminal, receiving a request for providing a service that is included in the service list from the external terminal, and connecting the mobile terminal to the external terminal via the LAN and providing the requested service to the external terminal.
Claims20
A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an external terminal without connecting to the external terminal via a network, a list broadcast on the network by the external terminal, the list comprising a service being performed by the external terminal for the electronic device via the network;
- displaying the received list;
- requesting, based on the displayed list, the external terminal to provide the service;
- connecting to the external terminal via the network;
- and
- receiving the service via the network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program, which when executed by an electronic device, performs a method comprising:
- receiving, from an external terminal without connecting to the external terminal via a network, a list broadcast on the network by the external terminal, the list comprising a service being performed by the external terminal for the electronic device via the network;
- displaying the received list;
- requesting, based on the displayed list, the external terminal to provide the service;
- connecting to the external terminal via the network;
- and
- receiving the service via the network.
An electronic device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
- a display;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the stored instructions to:
- control the wireless transceiver to receive, from an external terminal without connecting to the external terminal via a network, a list broadcast on the network by the external terminal, the list comprising a service being performed by the external terminal for the electronic device via the network;
- and
- control the display to display the received list,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- control the wireless transceiver to transmit a signal to the external terminal requesting, based on the displayed list, the external terminal to provide the service,
- control the wireless transceiver to connect the electronic device to the external terminal via the network, and
- control the wireless transceiver to receive the service via the network.
