Abstract
A terminal control apparatus comprise: a transceiver that obtains information on a first terminal and a second terminal; and a processor that makes a predetermined determination in relation to each terminal's user based on the information obtained on the first terminal and the second terminal, that provides a result of the determination to the first terminal, and that, upon receiving role information including information on a role to be performed by the first terminal and information on a role to be performed by the second terminal, sets operation modes of the first terminal and the second terminal based on the received role information.
Claims19
A terminal control apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver that obtains information on a first terminal and a second terminal;
- and
- a processor that makes a predetermined determination in relation to each terminal's user based on the information obtained on the first terminal and the second terminal, that provides a result of the determination to the first terminal, and that, upon receiving role information including information on a role to be performed by the first terminal and information on a role to be performed by the second terminal, sets operation modes of the first terminal and the second terminal based on the received role information,
- wherein the processor determines whether or not a subscriber of the first terminal and a subscriber of the second terminal are same based on the obtained information.
A terminal control apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver that obtains information on a first terminal and a second terminal;
- and
- a processor that makes a predetermined determination in relation to each terminal's user based on the information obtained on the first terminal and the second terminal, that provides a result of the determination to the first terminal, and that, upon receiving role information including information on a role to be performed by the first terminal and information on a role to be performed by the second terminal, sets operation modes of the first terminal and the second terminal based on the received role information,
- wherein the processor changes the operation modes of the first terminal and the second terminal, based on connection status information received from the first terminal, indicating that a connection status between the first terminal and the second terminal is below a predetermined level.
A terminal control method performed by a terminal control apparatus, the terminal control method comprising:
- making a predetermined determination in relation to each terminal's user based on information obtained on a first terminal and a second terminal;
- providing a result of the determination to the first terminal;
- and
- upon receiving role information including information on a role to be performed by the first terminal and information on a role to be performed by the second terminal, setting operation modes of the first terminal and the second terminal based on the received role information,
- wherein the terminal control apparatus determines whether or not a subscriber of the first terminal and a subscriber of the second terminal are same based on the obtained information.
A terminal control method performed by a terminal control apparatus, the terminal control method comprising:
- making a predetermined determination in relation to each terminal's user based on information obtained on a first terminal and a second terminal;
- providing a result of the determination to the first terminal;
- and
- upon receiving role information including information on a role to be performed by the first terminal and information on a role to be performed by the second terminal, setting operation modes of the first terminal and the second terminal based on the received role information,
- wherein an indication that the first terminal performs a main role and the second terminal performs a sub role is provided to the first terminal, in addition to the result of the determination.
The terminal control method of 18, wherein the terminal control apparatus determines whether or not a subscriber of the first terminal and a subscriber of the second terminal are same based on the obtained information.
