Method and apparatus for setting communication and recording medium thereof
First Claim
1. A method of a first client device for setting communication with devices included in a group, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a host device included in the group, a communication initiation request for setting a communication between the host device and the first client device, wherein the communication initiation request comprises a participant device list that comprises identification information of devices included in the group and identification information of the group;
determining whether to set the communication with the host device based on a communication state of the first client device;
receiving, from a second client device ordered before the first client device in the participant device list for the group, a communication extension request for setting a communication between the second client device and the first client device, wherein the communication extension request is based on an order in which the devices included in the group are listed in the participant device list;
determining whether the second client device is included in the group; and
in response to determining that the second client device is included in the group, determining whether to set the communication with the second client device based on whether communication between the host device and the first client device is set.

10. A method of a host device for setting communication with other devices included in a group, the method comprising:
-
selecting a plurality of client devices included in the group according to a selection by a user; transmitting a communication initiation request for setting communication to the plurality of client devices included in the group, wherein the communication initiation request comprises a participant device list that comprises identification information of a plurality of client devices included in the group and identification information of the group; and determining whether to set communication with the plurality of client devices including a first client device and a second client device based on a responses of the plurality of client devices to the transmitted communication initiation request, wherein a communication extension request for setting a communication between the second client device and the first client device is transmitted from the second client device to the first client device, wherein the second client device is ordered before the first client device in the participant device list for the group, and wherein the communication extension request is based on an order in which the devices included in the group are listed in the participant device list.

11. A first client device that sets communication with devices included in a group, the first client device comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive, from a host device included in the group, a communication initiation request for setting communication between the host device and the first client device, wherein the communication initiation request comprises a participant device list that comprises identification information of devices included in the group and identification information of the group; and a processor configured to determine whether to set communication with the host device based on a communication state of the first client device, and determine whether to set communication with a second client device ordered before the first client device in a participant device list for the group based on whether the second client device is included in the group and communication between the host device and the first client device is set, wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit a communication extension request for setting the communication between the first client device and the second client device based on an order in which the devices in the group are listed in the participant device list. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A host device that sets communication with other devices included in a group, the host device comprising:
-
an input unit configured to receive a user selection of a plurality of client devices included in the group; a transceiver configured to transmit a communication initiation request for setting communication, to the plurality of client devices included in the group, wherein the communication initiation request comprises a participant device list that comprises identification information of a plurality of client devices included in the group and identification information of the group; and a processor configured to determine whether to set communication with the plurality of client devices based on responses of the plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of client devices include a first client device and a second client device, and wherein a communication extension request for setting a communication between the second client device and the first client device is transmitted from the second client device to the first client device, wherein the second client device is ordered before the first client device in the participant device list for the group, and wherein the communication extension request is based on an order in which the devices included in the group are listed in the participant device list.
