Method and apparatus for communication connection service

A method for communication connection service of a first device, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving information about a second device registered in a server from the server;
• displaying a list of one or more devices, which includes the second device, on a screen, using the information about the second device;
• sending identification information about a designated second device to the server, when the second device is designated from among the list of the one or more devices;
• and
• performing access to the designated second device, based on support from the server.

A method for communication connection service of a server, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving an authorization request message from a first device, wherein the authorization request message comprises user account information;
• performing authorization for access by the first device using the user account information;
• when the authorization succeeds and a request for registering a second device is received from the first device, updating registered device information of a user using information about the second device in the request received from the first device;
• and
• sending an update result of the registered device information to the first device.

A method for communication connection service of a server, the method comprising the steps of:

• monitoring a connection status of a user with at least one second device registered in a server;
• sending a second device information response message to a first device of the user, wherein the second device information response message comprises the connection status and identification information about each of the at least one second device registered in the server;
• receiving identification information about a designated one of the at least one second device registered in the server, from the first device;
• and
• creating a session for a connection between the first device and the designated second device in response to the received identification information about the designated second device.

A communication connection service apparatus of a first device, the apparatus comprising:

• a control unit configured to acquire identification information of a second device;
• a user interface configured to display an inquiry about whether to register the second device;
• and
• a communication unit configured to send a registration request message to a server, when a request to register the second device is inputted in response to the inquiry,
• wherein the registration request message comprises the identification information of the second device, and
• wherein the control unit is further configured to control the user interface to provide feedback informing of a success or a failure in registering the second device.

A communication connection service apparatus of a first device, the apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit configured to receive information about a second device registered in a server from the server, and to send identification information about a designated second device to the server, when the second device is designated from among the list of the one or more devices;
• a user interface configured to display the list of the one or more devices, which includes the second device, on a screen, using the information about the second device;
• and
• a control unit configured to perform access to the designated second device, based on support from the server.

A communication connection service apparatus of a server, the apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit configured to receive an authorization request message from a first device, wherein the authorization request message comprises user account information;
• and
• a control unit configured to perform authorization for access by the first device using the user account information, and when the authorization succeeds and a request for registering a second device is received from the first device, to update registered device information of a user using information about the second device in the request received from the first device,
• wherein the communication unit is further configured to send an update result of the registered device information to the first device.

A communication connection service apparatus of a server, the apparatus comprising:

• a control unit configured to monitor a connection status of a user with at least one second device registered in a server;
• and
• a communication unit configured to send a second device information response message to a first device of the user,
• wherein the second device information response message comprises the connection status and identification information about each of the at least one second device registered in the server, and to receive identification information about a designated one of the at least one second device registered in the server from the first device, and
• wherein the control unit is further configured to create a session for a connection between the first device and the designated second device in response to the received identification information about the designated second device.
