IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND APPARATUS USING NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. An image forming apparatus having at least one of print, scan, copy, fax, and web browsing functions, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a near field communication (NFC) module to detect a mobile terminal through NFC;
a touch panel to display an interactive screen on which at least one object appears and to receive an input of a gesture of a user regarding the object with respect to the mobile terminal; and
a control unit to determine a relative position relationship between the NFC module and the touch panel to establish a location of the mobile terminal with respect to the image forming apparatus and to interpret the gesture from the user to transmit the object from the image forming apparatus to the mobile terminal according to a result of the interpretation of the gesture based on the relative position relationship.
