First Claim
1. A method for sharing contents, the method comprising;
- reproducing the contents;
searching for a peer device capable of sharing the contents;
transmitting a sharing request signal including location information of the contents to the peer device;
transmitting the sharing request signal to the peer device so that the peer device displays the contents, and substantially at the same time, transitioning to an input element capable of controlling the peer device;

Abstract
A method and apparatus for sharing content between devices are provided. A method of a device for requesting to share content includes searching for a peer device capable of sharing the content, reproducing the content according to a user control, receiving a request to share the content with the peer device from the user, and transmitting a sharing request signal including location information of the content to the peer device. A method of a device for receiving a request to share content includes transmitting to a peer device a signal for indicating that the content can be shared, receiving a sharing request signal including location information of the content from the peer device, and reproducing the content by receiving the web content by using the location information.
