Abstract
A method and a system in which a second device provides a service along with an external device via a first device is provided. The method includes, when a service connection to at least one external device has failed, searching for the first device that will relay service data for the external device, transmitting a relay request signal to the first device, and transmitting the service data for the external device to the first device, wherein the transmitted service data is converted by the first device, and wherein the converted service data is provided to the external device.
Claims38
A method in which a second device provides a service along with an external device via a first device, the method comprising:
- when a service connection to at least one external device has failed, searching for the first device that will relay service data for the external device;
- transmitting a relay request signal to the first device;
- and
- transmitting the service data for the external device to the first device,
- wherein the transmitted service data is converted by the first device, and
- wherein the converted service data is provided to the external device.
A method in which a first device relays service data between a second device and an external device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the second device, a relay request signal for requesting a relay of service data for at least one external device;
- comparing a service protocol of the external device and a service protocol of the second device;
- converting service data received from the second device into a form suitable for the service protocol of the external device when the service protocol of the external device is different from that of the second device;
- and
- transmitting the converted service data to the external device.
A second device for providing a service along with an external device via first device, the second device comprising:
- a memory in which at least one program is stored;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the at least one program to provide the service along with the external device via the first device, wherein the at least one program comprises commands executing:
- when a service connection to at least one external device has failed, searching for the first device that will relay service data for the external device;
- transmitting a relay request signal to the first device;
- and
- transmitting the service data for the external device to the first device,
- wherein the transmitted service data is converted by the first device, and
- wherein the converted service data is provided to the external device.
A first device for relaying service data between a second device and an external device, the first device comprising:
- a memory in which at least one program is stored;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the at least one program to relay the service data between the second device and the external device,
- wherein the at least one program comprises commands executing:
- receiving, from the second device, a relay request signal for requesting a relay of service data for at least one external device;
- comparing a service protocol of the external device and a service protocol of the second device;
- converting service data received from the second device into a form suitable for the service protocol of the external device when the service protocol of the external device is different from that of the second device;
- and
- transmitting the converted service data to the external device.
