Abstract

A method of controlling a display device can include establishing communication between an external device and the display device to receive screen information displayed on the external device; displaying the screen information displayed in the external device in a first region of a screen of the display device; and when content information in the first region of the screen is moved to a second region of the screen, storing in a storage space corresponding to a format of the content information, the content information, without displaying the content information in the second region.

Claims

1. A method of controlling a display device, the method comprising:

establishing communication between an external mobile device and the display device to receive screen information displayed on the external mobile device;

displaying the screen information displayed in the external mobile device in a first region of a screen of the display device, wherein the screen information includes a first image corresponding to a first file stored in the external mobile device and a virtual manipulation unit corresponding to a physical manipulation unit provided at a main body of the external mobile device;

displaying a second image corresponding to a second file stored in the display device or another device connected to the display device in a second region of the screen of the display device, wherein the first region and the second region are displayed together on the screen of the display device;

in response to receiving a first drag input starting on the first image in the first region and ending at a location within the second region, storing the first file in the display device or the another device and displaying a third image corresponding to the first file in the second region, wherein the first image in the first region has a different appearance than the third image in the second region;

in response to receiving a second drag input starting on the second image in the second region and ending at a location within the first region, transmitting the second file to the external mobile device; and

in response to a user input on the virtual manipulation unit in the first region, transmitting a signal from the display device to the external mobile terminal for controlling the external mobile terminal.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the establishing communication between the external device and the display device further comprises searching for the external device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the display device transmits an access request to the external device searched for establishing communication.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the virtual manipulation unit corresponds to a model of the external device.

5. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a processing program stored thereon, wherein the processing program is configured to cause a processor of a display device to perform:

establishing communication between an external mobile device and the display device to receive screen information displayed on the external mobile device;

displaying the screen information displayed in the external mobile device in a first region of a screen of the display device, wherein the screen information includes a first image corresponding to a first file stored in the external mobile device and a virtual manipulation unit corresponding to a physical manipulation unit provided at a main body of the external mobile device;

displaying a second image corresponding to a second file stored in the display device or another device connected to the display device in a second region of the screen of the display device, wherein the first region and the second region are displayed together on the screen of the display device;

in response to receiving a first drag input starting on the first image in the first region and ending at a location within the second region, storing the first file in the display device or the another device and displaying a third image corresponding to the first file in the second region, wherein the first image in the first region has a different appearance than the third image in the second region;

in response to receiving a second drag input starting on the second image in the second region and ending at a location within the first region, transmitting the second file to the external mobile device; and

in response to a user input on the virtual manipulation unit in the first region, transmitting a signal from the display device to the external mobile terminal for controlling the external mobile terminal.

6. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 5, wherein the establishing communication between the external device and the display device further comprises searching for the external device.

7. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 6, wherein the display device transmits an access request to the external device searched for establishing communication.

8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 5, wherein the virtual manipulation unit corresponds to a model of the external device.

9. A display device comprising:

a communication unit configured to establish communication between an external mobile device and the display device; and

a controller configured to;

receive screen information displayed on the external mobile device,

display the screen information displayed in the external mobile device in a first region of a screen of the display device, wherein the screen information includes a first image corresponding to a first file stored in the external mobile device and a virtual manipulation unit corresponding to a physical manipulation unit provided at a main body of the external mobile device,

display a second image corresponding to a second file stored in the display device or another device connected to the display device in a second region of the screen of the display device, wherein the first region is spaced apart from the second region on the screen of the display device,

in response to receiving a first drag input starting on the first image in the first region and ending at a location within the second region, store the first file in the display device or the another device and display a third image corresponding to the first file in the second region, wherein the first image in the first region has a different appearance than the third image in the second region;

in response to receiving a second drag input starting on the second image in the second region and ending at a location within the first region, transmit the second file in the external mobile device; and

in response to a user input on the virtual manipulation unit in the first region, transmit a signal from the display device the external mobile terminal for controlling the external mobile terminal.
