Method and device for providing content casting services

A method of providing a content casting service in a device having a first band communication module for communicating with external devices over a first frequency band and a second band communication module for communicating with external devices over a second frequency band, the method comprising:

• detecting occurrence of a cast request event indicating content;
• selecting, upon detection of the cast request event, one of content stored in a storage unit;
• selecting a first external device and a second external device;
• transmitting the selected content to the first external device through the first band communication module;
• and
• transmitting the selected content to the second external device through the second band communication module.

A method of providing a content casting service in a device having a first band communication module for communicating with external devices over a first frequency band and a second band communication module for communicating with external devices over a second frequency band, the method comprising:

• detecting occurrence of a cast request event indicating image;
• receiving, upon detection of the cast request event, captured images from a first external device through the first band communication module;
• and
• transmitting the received captured images to a second external device through the second band communication module.

A device capable of providing a content casting service, the device comprising:

• a touchscreen capable of providing a user interface for user interactions;
• a first band communication module capable of communicating with a first external device over a first frequency band;
• a second band communication module capable of communicating with a second external device over a second frequency band, wherein the first band communication module and second band communication module are integrated into one chip;
• and
• a control unit capable of controlling the touchscreen, the first band communication module and the second band communication module, wherein the control unit is capable of controlling a process of detecting occurrence of a cast request event indicating content delivery, selecting, upon detection of the cast request event, the first external device possessing the indicated content, receiving the content from the first external device through the first band communication module, and transmitting the received content to the second external device through the second band communication module.
