Abstract
There is provided an electronic device connected to at least one external electronic device, the electronic device including a communication unit configured to perform data communication with the at least one external electronic device, an interface unit configured to connect to a sound output device, and a controller configured, when the sound output device is connected to the electronic device through the interface unit, to receive audio data from the at least one external electronic device and to output the received audio data through the sound output device.
Claims19
An electronic device connected to at least one external electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform data communication with the at least one external electronic device;
- an interface unit configured to connect to a sound output device;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the communication unit and the interface unit, wherein the controller is configured to
- sense a connection of a sound output device to the electronic device,
- upon sensing the connection of the sound output device to the electronic device, receive audio data from the at least one external electronic device, and
- output the received audio data through the sound output device.
An electronic device connected to at least one external electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform data communication with the at least one external electronic device;
- a sound output module;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the communication unit and the sound output module,
- wherein the controller is configured to
- receive an indication of a connection of a sound output device to the at least one external electronic device while outputting particular audio data associated with the electronic device through the sound output module, and
- upon receiving the indication, transmit the particular audio data to the at least one external electronic device connected to the sound output device through the communication unit.
An electronic device connected to at least one first electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform data communication with the at least one first electronic device;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the communication unit and configured to
- sense a predetermined event occurring at the electronic device,
- select one of the electronic device or the at least one first electronic device based on the predetermined event, and
- transmit a first message to the at least one first electronic device, the first message including information on the selected electronic device.
A method of controlling an electronic device connected to at least one external electronic device, the method comprising:
- sensing by the electronic device a connection of a sound output device to the electronic device;
- upon sensing the connection of the sound output device to the electronic device, receiving by the electronic device audio data from the at least one external electronic device;
- and
- outputting the received audio data by the electronic device through the sound output device.
A method of controlling an electronic device connected to at least one external electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving by the electronic device an indication of a connection of a sound output device to the at least one external electronic device while outputting particular audio data associated with the electronic device through a sound output module of the electronic device;
- and
- upon receiving the indication, transmitting by the electronic device the particular audio data to the at least one external electronic device connected to the sound output device.
