Abstract

An apparatus and method for operating a multimedia apparatus performing a wireless charging in a portable apparatus are provided. The apparatus includes: a communicator configured to perform a communication with a multimedia apparatus; a touch pad configured to generate an input signal according to an input generated from an external; and a controller configured to verify an input position generated in the touch pad so that a point is displayed on a position of the multimedia apparatus that is identical to the position where the input is generated, and provide the verified input position to the multimedia apparatus.

Claims

1. An apparatus for operating a multimedia apparatus performing a wireless charging in a portable apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

a communicator configured to perform a communication with a multimedia apparatus;

a touch pad configured to generate an input signal according to an input generated from an external; and

a controller configured to verify an input position generated in the touch pad so that a point is displayed on a position of the multimedia apparatus that is identical to the position where the input is generated, and provide the verified input position to the multimedia apparatus.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller synchronizes a screen pixel of the multimedia apparatus with a pixel of the touch pad.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a sensor unit that detects a portable apparatus contacted to the touch pad.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising:

a charging unit that wirelessly charges a portable apparatus contacted to the touch pad.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the communicator performs a communication with the portable apparatus contacted to the touch pad.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising:

a trigger that generates a mounting verification signal when a mounting of the portable apparatus is verified.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the controller provides a screen operating activation request signal of the portable apparatus to the portable apparatus in accordance with the mounting verification signal.

8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the controller provides a pixel synchronizing request signal to the portable apparatus to synchronize a screen pixel of the portable apparatus with a screen pixel of the multimedia apparatus.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the controller verifies the position where the input is generated in the screen of the portable apparatus, and provides the position to the multimedia apparatus.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the controller verifies the position where the input is generated in the portable apparatus so that a point is displayed on the position of the multimedia apparatus that is identical to the position where the input has generated in the portable apparatus, and provides the verified position to the multimedia apparatus.

11. A method for operating a multimedia apparatus performing a wireless charging of a portable apparatus, the method comprising:

detecting an input generated from an external by a controller;

verifying a position where the input is generated; and

providing the position to the multimedia apparatus so that a point is displayed on the position of the multimedia apparatus that is identical to the position where the input is generated.

12. The method of claim 11, before the detecting of the input, further comprising:

verifying whether the portable apparatus is contacted to the touch pad equipped in the operating apparatus.

13. The method of claim 12, after verifying the contacting of the portable apparatus, further comprising:

charging the portable apparatus wirelessly when the portable apparatus is contacted to the touch pad.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the detecting of the input comprises detecting an input generated in the touch pad or the portable apparatus.

15. The method of claim 14, after verifying whether the portable apparatus is contacted, further comprising:

synchronizing a screen pixel in the multimedia apparatus to a pixel in the touch pad when the portable apparatus is not contacted; and

transmitting a pixel synchronizing request signal to synchronize a screen pixel in the portable apparatus with the screen pixel in the multimedia apparatus to the portable apparatus when the portable apparatus is contacted.
