Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic apparatus comprising an interface, a sensor. and a processor configured to detect occurrence of a user event, which corresponds to a command issued to transmit content, through the sensor, identify an external apparatus, which corresponds to the user event, through the interface, identify content to be transmitted and a method of transmitting the content based on current operation circumstances of the electronic apparatus, and transmit the content to the external apparatus through the interface based on the identified method of transmitting the content.
Claims22
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- an interface;
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect occurrence of a user event, which corresponds to a command issued to transmit content, through the sensor while the content is reproduced by using an application currently running in the electronic apparatus,
- identify an external apparatus, which corresponds to the user event, through the interface,
- identify the content and the application currently running in the electronic apparatus to reproduce the content among a plurality of applications,
- identify a method of transmitting the content among a plurality of methods of transmitting the content based on the identified application, wherein the identifying of the method of transmitting the content comprises identifying whether mirroring or casting is to be used, and
- transmit the content to the external apparatus through the interface based on the identified method of transmitting the content.
