MOBILE TERMINAL, MOBILE TERMINAL SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for controlling operation of a first mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- entering, by the first mobile terminal, a content share mode;
detecting, by the first mobile terminal, a second mobile terminal which is in the content share mode;
specifying a content transmission format for transmitting content to the second mobile terminal based on the detection result; and
transmitting the content to the second mobile terminal according to the specified content transmission format,wherein the content transmission format is at least one of a first transmission format and a second transmission format,the first transmission format allows the first mobile terminal to control the transmitted content according to a first command input to the first mobile terminal, andthe second transmission format allows the second mobile terminal to control the transmitted content according to a second command input to the second mobile terminal.

Abstract
A mobile terminal which can enter a content share mode, a mobile terminal system, and a method for controlling the operation of the same are provided. After entering a content share mode, a mobile terminal can transmit and receive content to and from another mobile terminal which is in the content share mode and within a predetermined distance. The mobile terminal can also specify a content transmission format. Before the content is transmitted, the content may be displayed on another mobile terminal using a thumbnail of the content. Users can conveniently transmit content between mobile terminals.
