Abstract
A method of performing communication with a second communication device by a first communication device is provided. The method includes identifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address for communication with a first communication network, providing data including the IP address to the second communication device connected through a second communication network, and executing a communication application being connected with the second communication device via the first communication network using the IP address.
Claims19
A method of performing communication with a second device by a first device, the method comprising:
- identifying a first internet protocol (IP) address for communication via a first network;
- transmitting a first data including the first IP address to the second device via a second network which is different from the first network;
- setting a connection between the first device and the second device via the first network using the first IP address;
- transmitting a second data related to an image file stored in the first device, to the second device via the connection;
- and
- transmitting the image file to the second device via the connection, in response to a request by the second device.
A method of performing communication by a second communication device connected with a first communication device, the method comprising:
- identifying a second internet protocol (IP) address of a second device for communication via a first network;
- receiving, a first data including a first IP address of the first device, from the first device via a second network which is different from the first network, in response to a request for the first communication device;
- setting a connection between the first device and the second device via the first communication network using the first IP address;
- receiving a second data related to the image file stored in the first device, from the second device via the connection;
- and
- receiving the image file using the second data, from the first device via the connection.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first communication unit;
- a second communication unit;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a first internet protocol (IP) address for communication via a first network, using the first communication unit,
- transmit a first data including the first IP address to the second device via a second network which is different from the first network, using the second communication unit,
- set a connection between the first device and the second device via the first network using the first IP address,
- transmit a second data related to an image file stored in the first device, to the second device via the connection, and
- transmit the image file to the second device via the connection, in response to a request by the second device.
