Abstract

A method and apparatus for reducing the number of manipulations by a user during the data communication between an information device and a mobile device. The communication is performed with a data communication system that includes a mobile device; a display for displaying a position of the mobile device sensed using a provided position sensor and transferring data corresponding to the displayed position to the mobile device or data stored in the mobile device to the displayed position; and an information device for transceiving data with the display.

Claims

1. A method for communicating data between a mobile device and an information device in a communication system including the mobile device and the information device, the information device to which a display is externally equipped for communicating with the mobile device, the method comprising:

displaying, by the display having a position sensor, a position of the sensed mobile device; and

transferring data corresponding to the displayed position to the mobile device or data stored in the mobile device to the corresponding position.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the position of the mobile device is acquired using a touch screen technology or an electromagnetic induction technology.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein, when the data stored in the mobile device is transferred to the display, the data is opened using an execution program displayed on the corresponding position.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transferring of the data corresponding to the displayed position to the mobile device comprises:

requesting data corresponding to a defined area from the mobile device;

requesting the requested data to the information device and receiving the requested data; and

transferring the received data to the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein information relating to the defined area and data corresponding to the defined area are requested to the information device.

6. A data communication system comprising:

a mobile device;

a display configured to display a position of the mobile device sensed using a provided position sensor and transferring data corresponding to the displayed position to the mobile device or data stored in the mobile device to the displayed position; and

an information device for transceiving data with the display.

7. The data communication system of claim 6, wherein the position sensor is a digital pen operating according to a touch screen technology or an electromagnetic induction technology.

8. The data communication system of claim 6, wherein the display comprises:

a data communication module configured to communicate with the mobile device.

9. The data communication system of claim 6, wherein the mobile device comprises:

a data communication module configured to communicate with the display.

10. The data communication system of claim 6, wherein the information device, when the data stored in the mobile device is transferred to the display, opens the received data in an execution program displayed at the corresponding position.

11. The data communication system of claim 6, wherein the mobile device performs authentication with the information device via the display by use of inherent identifiers.
