First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of sending information, performed by a device, the method comprising:
- obtaining information about an external device, the information including an interaction activity list that is generated and displayed on the device based on functions that can be performed by both the device and the external device, wherein the displayed interaction activity list includes a list of functions, and wherein each function in the list of functions is performable by both the device and the external device;
based on the obtained information, displaying a user interface item for controlling a function of the device corresponding to a function of the external device;
based on an input received via the user interface item, generating control information about the function of the external device; and
sending the control information to the external device over a connection established between the device and the external device, thereby causing the external device to perform the function of the external device.

Abstract
A method of generating interaction activity information, performed by a device, is provided. The method includes establishing communication with at least one external apparatus; receiving first information about a user selectable function of the external apparatus; and generating second information, based on the first information, about a user selectable function of the device, wherein the user selectable function of the device corresponds to the user selectable function of the external device and can be performed in collaboration with the external device.
