Abstract

A mobile terminal including a display unit configured to output an image, a communication unit configured to transceive data with an external mobile terminal, and a controller configured to control the communication unit to receive a notification corresponding to an event information of an application installed at the mobile terminal from the mobile terminal, the controller controlling the display unit to output a screen of the event to a user in accordance with the notification, the controller controlling the communication unit to receive an input of a user action corresponding to a command for processing the event from a user via the screen of the event and to transmit the user action to the mobile terminal. Further, the notification includes an identification information of the application and an identification information of the user action provided by the application.

Claims

1. An image display device, which is mounted on a vehicle, comprising:

a display unit configured to output an image;

a communication unit configured to transceive data with an external mobile terminal; and

a controller configured to;

set mode information to use a VNC (Virtual Networking Computing) mode or a notification user interface for displaying an event on the display unit,

transmit the set mode information to the mobile terminal,

when the mode information is set to use the notification user interface, control the communication unit to receive, from the mobile terminal, a notification corresponding to event information of an application installed at the mobile terminal, wherein the notification comprises a unique identification information of the notification, a name of the application sending the notification, and a preference for a notification user interface (UI) of using a vehicle head unit UI or the VNC mode,

when the mode information is set to use the VNC mode, control the communication unit to receive screen information corresponding to the event information from the mobile terminal,

control the display unit to output a screen of an event based on the received notification or the received screen information,

wherein the output screen comprises at least one display object and each of the at least one display object corresponds to a user action among the at least one user action,

receive, via the screen of the event, a selection input for selecting one of the at least one display object, and

control the communication unit to transmit a command corresponding to the selected display object for processing the event to the mobile terminal.

2. The image display device of claim 1, wherein the notification further comprises title information of the notification, and content information of the notification.

3. The image display device of claim 1, wherein the notification further comprises priority information of the notification and name information of the at least one user action provided by the application.

4. A mobile terminal comprising:

a display unit configured to output an image;

a communication unit configured to transceive data with an external image display device; and

a controller configured to;

receive mode information to use a VNC (Virtual Networking Computing) mode or a notification user interface for displaying an event on the display unit,

when the mode information is set to use the notification user interface, control the communication unit to transmit a notification corresponding to event information of an application to the image display device, wherein the notification comprises a unique identification information of the notification, a name of the application sending the notification, and a preference for a notification user interface (UI) of using a vehicle head unit UI or the VNC mode,

when the mode information is set to use the VNC mode, control the communication unit to transmit a screen information of the event information and to receive a user action corresponding to a command for processing an event from the image display device,

wherein the user action is selected by a user selection, via the image display device, among a plurality of user actions, and

control the display unit to process the event of the application in accordance with the user action and to output a processed screen of the event.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the notification further comprises, title information of the notification, and content information of the notification.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the notification further comprises priority information of the notification and name information of the user action provided by the application.

7. A method of processing data comprising:

setting mode information to use a VNC (Virtual Networking Computing) mode or a notification user interface for displaying an event;

transmitting the set mode information to an external mobile terminal;

when the mode information is set to use the notification user interface, receiving, from the mobile terminal, a notification corresponding to event information of an application installed at the mobile terminal, wherein the notification comprises identification information of the application, identification information of at least one user action provided by the application and identification information of the notification wherein the notification comprises a unique identification information of the notification, a name of the application sending the notification, and a preference for a notification user interface (UI) of using a vehicle head unit UI or the VNC mode;

when the mode information is set to use the VNC mode, receiving screen information of the mobile terminal,

outputting a screen of an event based on the received screen information in accordance with the notification, wherein the output screen comprises at least one display object, and each of the at least one display object corresponds to a user action among the at least one user action;

receiving, via the output screen of the event, a selection input for selecting one of the at least one display object; and

transmitting a command corresponding to the selected display object for processing the event to the mobile terminal.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the notification further comprises title information of the notification, and content information of the notification.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the notification further comprises priority information of the notification and name information of at least one the user action provided by the application.
