Abstract
A method and a system for an external device with information about a task being performed by a user device are provided. The method includes receiving information about the task being performed by the user device, identifying a plurality of external devices located near a wearable device of a user of the user device, determining a first external device to continuously perform the task from among the plurality of external devices based on the information about the task and characteristics information about the identified external devices, and transmitting the information about the task to the first external device.
Claims20
A method of receiving, by an external device, information about a task being performed by a user device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a wearable device, a first short range wireless communication signal;
- transmitting, by the external device to a server, information associated with a location of the wearable device in response to receiving the first short range communication signal from the wearable device;
- receiving, from the server, information about the task being performed by the user device in response to the external device being selected to perform the task based on the information associated with the location of the wearable device transmitted from the external device;
- and
- performing, by the external device, the task in response to receiving the information about the task from the server.
An external device for receiving information about a task being performed by a user device, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to transmit and receive information;
- a memory configured to store instructions therein;
- and
- at least one processor,
- wherein, upon execution of the instructions, the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive, from a wearable device via the communication interface, a first short range wireless communication signal,
- transmit, to a server via the communication interface, information associated with a location of the wearable device in response to receiving the first short range wireless communication signal from the wearable device,
- receive, from the server via the communication interface, the information about the task being performed by the user device in response to the external device being selected to perform the task based on the information associated with the location of the wearable device transmitted from the external device, and
- perform the task in response to receiving the information about the task from the server.
A method of receiving, by an external device, information about a task being performed by a user device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a wearable device, a short range wireless communication signal;
- transmitting, from the external device to the user device, information associated with a location of the wearable device in response to receiving the first short range communication signal from the wearable device;
- receiving, from the user device, information about the task being performed by the user device in response to the external device being selected to perform the task based on the information associated with the location of the wearable device transmitted from the external device;
- and
- performing, by the external device, the task in response to receiving the information about the task from the user device.
