Claims32
A method for pairing mobile terminals, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a first mobile terminal, a touch input corresponding to a request to pair a first mobile terminal with at least one other mobile terminal;
- broadcasting, by the first mobile terminal, pairing information;
- and
- connecting the first mobile terminal with the at least one other mobile terminal.
An apparatus for pairing with at least one mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive a touch input;
- at least one controller configured to determine whether the touch input corresponds to a request to pair the apparatus with the at least one mobile terminal, to generate pairing information based on characteristics of at least one of the touch input and the apparatus, and to connect the apparatus with the at least one mobile terminal;
- and
- a communication unit configured to broadcast the pairing information.
An apparatus for pairing with at least one mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive pairing information from at least one mobile terminal;
- and
- at least one controller configured to operatively connect the apparatus with the at least one mobile terminal.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method of pairing mobile terminals, the method comprising:
- detecting a touch input corresponding to a request to pair a first mobile terminal with at least one other mobile terminal;
- broadcasting pairing information;
- and
- connecting the first mobile terminal with the at least one other mobile terminal.
