Abstract
A mobile device includes a communicator configured to transmit information about least one of a frequency, a pattern, and an amplitude to an electronic device located within a critical distance from the mobile device, an acoustic wave output interface configured to output an acoustic wave matching at least one of the frequency, the pattern, and the amplitude, and a controller configured to provide a user interface to operate a function of the electronic device when information about the function of the electronic device controllable by the mobile device is received through the communicator.
Claims15
A mobile device comprising:
- a communicator configured to transmit information about least one of a frequency, a pattern, and an amplitude to an electronic device located within a critical distance from the mobile device;
- an acoustic wave output interface configured to output an acoustic wave matching at least one of the frequency, the pattern, and the amplitude;
- and
- a controller configured to provide a user interface to operate a function of the electronic device when information about the function of the electronic device controllable by the mobile device is received through the communicator.
An electronic device comprising:
- a communicator configured to receive information about at least one of a frequency, a pattern, and an amplitude from a mobile device located within a critical distance from the electronic device;
- an acoustic wave acquiring device configured to acquire an acoustic wave;
- and
- a controller configured to provide information about a function of the electronic device controllable by the mobile device, to the mobile device, when the acquired acoustic wave matches at least one of the frequency and the pattern.
A method of operating a mobile device, the method comprising:
- transmitting information about least one of a frequency, a pattern, and an amplitude to an electronic device located within a critical distance from the mobile device;
- outputting an acoustic wave matching at least one of the frequency, the pattern and the amplitude;
- receiving information about a function of the electronic device controllable by the mobile device;
- and
- providing a user interface based on the received information and controlling the function of the electronic device is controllable via the user interface.
