Abstract
A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the mobile terminal are discussed. The mobile terminal includes a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a display device external to the mobile terminal, a first display unit, and a controller configured to control the wireless communication unit and the first display unit. The controller generates a first input process and a second input process different from the first input process. Further, in response to the second input process, the controller receives a user input signal from the display device, and outputs a second input method editor (IME) for displaying on a second display unit of the display device.
Claims16
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a display device external to the mobile terminal;
- a first display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to control the wireless communication unit and the first display unit,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- determine whether the mobile terminal supports a multi-display function when the mobile terminal is booted,
- in response to the mobile terminal supporting the multi-display function, execute an input management service and a multi-client input management service,
- receive a user input signal from the display device, and
- output a second input method editor (IME) for displaying on a second display unit of the display device.
A method of controlling a mobile terminal configured to wirelessly communicate with a display device external to the mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- determining, by a controller of the mobile terminal, whether the mobile terminal supports a multi-display function when the mobile terminal is booted;
- in response to the mobile terminal supporting the multi-display function, executing, by the controller, an input management service and a multi-client input management service;
- receiving, by the controller, a user input signal from the display device;
- and
- outputting, by the controller, a second input method editor (IME) for displaying on a second display unit of the display device.
