Remote control system and method for portable terminals
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- generating, upon detecting a remote control event for remote control of a target terminal, a remote control request message including information on the target terminal;
transmitting the remote control request message to a remote control management server;
receiving, from the remote control management server, a remote control grant message from the target terminal;
checking, upon receiving the remote control grant message, whether a remote control event is received;
outputting, upon receiving the remote control event, data corresponding to the remote control event; and
transmitting the data corresponding to remote control event to the remote control management server, which, if the target terminal is a different type from the electronic device, converts the data to a format conforming to the target terminal based on checked specification information of the electronic device and the target terminal, before transmitting the data on to the target terminal.

Abstract
Provided are a remote control system and method for controlling portable terminals. The remote control system includes a control terminal which is a portable terminal that performs a remote control operation, a target terminal which is a portable terminal that is subject to the remote control operation performed by the control terminal, and a remote control management server which determines whether the control terminal and the target terminal are heterogeneous, and if the two terminals are heterogeneous, converts messages respectively transmitted from the control terminal and the target terminal to a format conforming to corresponding receiving terminals.

6. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a remote control request message from a remote control management server, wherein the remote control request is from a control terminal; determining, upon receiving the remote control request message, validity of the remote control request by performing an authentication process; generating, if the remote control request is valid, a remote control grant message and transmitting the remote control grant message to the remote control management server, which transmits the remote control request to the control terminal; receiving data from the remote control management server which was output by the control terminal; generating a remote control response message concerning the data to be processed by the electronic device; and transmitting the remote control response message to the remote control management server, which, if the control terminal is a different type from the electronic device, converts the remote control response message to a format conforming to the control terminal based on checked specification information of the electronic device and the control terminal, before transmitting it on to the control terminal. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An electronic device comprising:
-
a controller; and a communication unit, wherein the controller is configured to; generate, upon detecting a remote control event for remote control of a target terminal, a remote control request message including information on the target terminal and transmitting the remote control request message a remote control management server; receive, from the remote control management server, a remote control grant message from the target terminal; check, upon receiving the remote control grant message, whether a remote control event is received; output, upon receiving the remote control event, data corresponding to the remote control event; and transmit the data corresponding to remote control event to the remote control management server, which, if the target terminal is a different type from the electronic device, converts the data to a format conforming to the target terminal based on checked specification information of the electronic device and the target terminal, before transmitting the data on to the target terminal, and wherein the communication unit is configured to, under the control of the controller, communicate with the remote control management server. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An electronic device comprising:
-
a controller; and a communication unit, wherein the controller is configured to; receive a remote control request message from a remote control management server, wherein the remote control request is from a control terminal; determine, upon receiving the remote control request message, whether the remote control request is valid by performing an authentication process; generate, if the remote control request is valid, a remote control grant message and transmit the message to a remote control management server, which transmits the remote control request to the control terminal;
toreceive data from the remote control management server which was output by the control terminal; generate a remote control response message concerning the data to be processed by the electronic device; and transmit the remote control response message to the remote control management server, which, if the control terminal is a different type from the electronic device, converts the remote control response message to a format conforming to the control terminal based on checked specification information of the electronic device and the control terminal, before transmitting it on to the control terminal; wherein the communication unit is configured to, under the control of the controller, communicate with a remote control management server. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
