Wireless network connection controlling method using device impact, application program controlling method, and devices thereof

An application program control method of a device using a physical impact, comprising:

• generating by the device being a first device, a first impact event when the physical impact applied to the first device from the outside is detected in a state in which a wireless network is connected between the first device and a second device;
• transmitting a search message including the time at which the first impact event occurred and searching for the second device in which the first impact event occurred at the same time;
• transferring the search result to an application program and executing functions provided by the application program and changing settings of the first device when the second device is found as the search result;
• when the second device is not found as the search result, recognizing by the first device, the first impact event as having occurred only in the first device, and causing by the first device, the first device to enter a predetermined state;
• performing by the first device, a predetermined operation when a second impact event occurs in the first device within a time period from the time in which the first impact event occurred, the second impact event occurring in the predetermined state of the first device which was entered when the second device was not found;
• sensing by each of the first device and the second device, at least one impact event while the inter-device wireless network connection is established between the first device and the second device:
• and
• setting the first device as a first mode and setting the second device as a second mode different from the first mode based on a difference between the number of impact event sensed by the first device and the number of impact event sensed by the second device.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program for causing a computer to execute a wireless network connection control method of a device using a physical impact, the method comprising:

• generating a first impact event when the physical impact applied to the device being a first device from the outside is detected;
• transmitting a search message including the time at which the first impact event occurred and searching for a second device in which the first impact event occurred at the same time;
• performing a predetermined protocol with the second device and establishing an inter-device wireless network connection with the second device when the second device is found as a result of the searching;
• when the second device is not found as a result of the searching, recognizing by the first device, the first impact event as having occurred only in the first device and causing by the first device, the first device to enter a predetermined state;
• performing by the first device, a predetermined operation when a second impact event occurs in the first device within a time period from the time in which the first impact event occurred, the second impact event occurring in the predetermined state of the first device which was entered when the second device was not found;
• sensing by each of the first device and the second device, at least one impact event while the inter-device wireless network connection is established between the first device and the second device;
• and
• setting the first device as a first mode and setting the second device as a second mode different from the first mode based on a difference between the number of impact event sensed by the first device and the number of impact event sensed by the second device.

A device with close-range wireless communication functionality including Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) comprising:

• a sensor that measures a physical impact received by the device being a first device;
• and
• a communication unit that performs communication with an external device;
• a control unit, including a processor, that, when the measured impact exceeds a predetermined threshold, detects occurrence of a first impact event, and controls the communication unit to transmit a search message including the time at which the first impact event occurred to search for a second device in which the first impact event occurred at the same time,
• wherein the control unit performs a predetermined protocol with the second device and establishes an inter-device wireless network connection with the second device when the second device is found as a result of the searching, and wherein when the second device is not found as a result of the searching, the control unit recognizes the first impact event as having occurred only in the first device, and causes the first device to enter a predetermined state, and the control unit performs a predetermined operation when a second impact event occurs in the first device within a time period from the time in which the first impact event occurred, the second impact event occurring in the predetermined state of the first device which was entered when the second device was not found, and
• wherein the control unit detects occurrence of at least one impact event while the inter-device wireless network connection is established between the first device and the second device, and sets the first device as a first mode different from a second mode of the second device based on a difference between the number of impact event sensed by the first device and the number of impact event sensed by the second device.
