Terminal device and method for controlling thereof
First Claim
1. A terminal device comprising, the device comprising:
- a communicator configured to perform communication;
a short-range wireless communication module configured to;
detect a tag of an external device, andshare communication connection information with the tagged external device using a first communication technology;
a display;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the at least one processor, the one or more computer programs including instructions to, if the tagging of the external device is detected while a content is played back;
control the communicator to establish communication with the tagged external device based on the communication connection information,control the display to display a screen comprising a plurality of groups generated based on each of a plurality of portions of the content if the content comprises a plurality of portions,add the tagged external device to a group of the plurality of groups, andcontrol the communicator to transmit one of the plurality of portions of the content and a synchronization signal to the tagged external device based on a characteristic of the group of the plurality of groups to which the external device is added,wherein the one of the plurality of portions of the content and the synchronization signal are transmitted to the tagged external device using a second communication technology different from the first communication technology.

Abstract
A terminal device is provided. The terminal device includes a multimedia part configured to play back a content, a communicator configured to perform communication, a short-range wireless communication module configured to share communication connection information with an external device, and when tagged with the external device while a content is played back, a controller configured to control the communicator to be connected to the external device according to the communication connection information and transmit a synchronization signal and the played back content. Accordingly, the terminal device shares a synchronized content with an external device using a User Interface (UI) for controlling a plurality of external devices.
