Abstract
A method for providing communication between application programs running via devices connected to a same network is provided. The method includes an operation for connecting a first application program, which is running in a first device via a web socket server in the first device, with a second application program, which is running in a second device, and an operation for transmitting and receiving data between the second application program and the first application program via the web socket server.
Claims12
A method for communication between a first application on a first device and a second application on a second device, the method comprising:
- connecting, by the first device, the first application to the second application through a websocket server in the first device;
- and
- transmitting, by the first device, data from the first application to the second application through the websocket server, or receiving, by the first device, data for the first application from the second application through the websocket server,
- wherein a connection between the first application and the second application through the websocket server is provided based on the websocket server receiving a connection request from each of the first application and the second application, and wherein the connection between the first application and the second application through the websocket server is based on a websocket uniform resource locator (URL) related with a resource name related to the first application, and information specific to the second application.
A first device for communication between a first application on the first device and a second application on a second device, the first device comprising:
- a websocket server;
- a communication interface;
- and
- a controller coupled to the communication interface,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- connect the first application to the second application through the websocket server, and
- transmit data from the first application to the second application through the websocket server, or receive data for the first application from the second application,
- wherein a connection between the first application and the second application through the websocket server is provided based on the websocket server receiving a connection request from each of the first application and the second application, and
- wherein the connection between the first application and the second application through the websocket server is based on a websocket uniform resource locator (URL) related with a resource name related to the first application and information specific to the second application.
