Abstract
A mobile terminal for providing data to another mobile terminal through a touch input device includes: a touch screen configured to receive a touch input by the touch input device; a communication module configured to transmit and receive data through a communication connection with the touch input device; and a processor configured to, when a first touch input by the touch input device is received by the touch screen, provide, to the touch input device, predetermined data associated with a first application that is currently being executed in the mobile terminal, such that the predetermined data is provided to the other mobile terminal through the touch input device.
Claims20
A mobile device for providing data to another mobile device using a touch input device, the mobile device comprising:
- a touch screen configured to obtain a touch gesture input by the touch input device, wherein touch gesture inputs are user-defined shapes;
- a communication module configured to transmit and receive data through a communication connection with the touch input device;
- and
- at least one processor configured to provide, to the touch input device in response to obtaining by the touch screen a first touch gesture input from a user, predetermined data having data associated with a first application that is currently being executed in the mobile device and indicating information about an account logged into in the first application,
- wherein the predetermined data is provided to the other mobile device through the touch input device based on obtaining a second touch gesture input by the other mobile device, wherein the first touch gesture input and the second touch gesture input are different forms,
- wherein the predetermined data is provided to a second application that matches the first application, and the account is logged into in the second application based on the predetermined data provided, and
- wherein the predetermined data comprises data indicating information about an address of a webpage of the first application and the logged-in account.
A method of controlling a mobile device by using a touch input device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first touch gesture input by the touch input device on a touch screen of a first mobile device, wherein touch gesture inputs are user-defined shapes;
- providing, by the first mobile device, to the touch input device based on obtaining by the touch screen the first touch gesture input from a user, predetermined data having data, associated with a first application that is currently being executed in the first mobile device and indicating information about an account logged into in the first application;
- obtaining a second touch gesture input by the touch input device on a touch screen of a second mobile device;
- and
- providing the predetermined data stored in the touch input device from the touch input device to the second mobile device based on obtaining the second touch gesture input by the second mobile device, wherein the first touch gesture input and the second touch gesture input are different forms,
- wherein the predetermined data is provided to a second application that matches the first application, and the account is logged into in the second application based on the predetermined data provided;
- and
- wherein the predetermined data comprises data indicating information about an address of a webpage of the first application and the logged-in account.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:
- obtain a first touch gesture input by a touch input device on a touch screen of a first mobile device, wherein touch gesture inputs are user-defined shapes;
- provide, to the touch input device in response to obtaining by the touch screen the first touch gesture input from a user, predetermined data having data, associated with a first application that is currently being executed in the first mobile device and indicating information about an account logged into in the first application;
- obtain a second touch gesture input by the touch input device on a touch screen of a second mobile device;
- and
- provide the predetermined data stored in the touch input device from the touch input device to the second mobile device based on obtaining the second touch gesture input by the second mobile device, wherein the first touch gesture input and the second touch gesture input are different forms,
- wherein the predetermined data is provided to a second application that matches the first application, and the account is logged into in the second application based on the predetermined data provided;
- and
- wherein the predetermined data comprises data indicating information about an address of a webpage of the first application and the logged-in account.
