Abstract

Provided is a remote control system and a remote control method of the same. The remote control system includes a first driver installed on a first device connected with a terminal through universal serial bus (USB) and configured to perform USB communication with the terminal, and a second driver installed on a second device connected with the first device via a network and configured to communicate with the first driver via the network. Here, the first and second drivers constitute a remote device driver for driving the terminal, and the second device transmits a command for controlling the terminal through the remote device driver and displays a display image of the terminal provided from the terminal through the remote device driver.

Claims

1. A remote control system, comprising:

a first driver installed on a first device connected with a terminal through universal serial bus (USB), and configured to perform USB communication with the terminal; and

a second driver installed on a second device connected with the first device via a network, and configured to communicate with the first driver via the network,

wherein the first and second drivers constitute a remote device driver for driving the terminal, and

the second device transmits a command for controlling the terminal through the remote device driver and displays a display image of the terminal provided from the terminal through the remote device driver.

2. The remote control system of claim 1, wherein the first driver checks whether or not the terminal is connected, and when the terminal is connected, establishes a communication channel with the terminal, requests device information from the terminal, and receives device information from the terminal.

3. The remote control system of claim 2, wherein the second driver includes:

a virtual hub driver whose logical communication channel with the first driver is established via the network to exchange data with the first driver; and

a function driver configured to perform communication limited to the terminal and manage communication of the virtual hub driver.

4. The remote control system of claim 1, wherein the second device provides a remote control module for remotely controlling the terminal to the terminal through the remote device driver, and provides a command for execution of the remote control module to the terminal through the remote device driver.

5. The remote control system of claim 4, wherein the second device provides a command for finishing execution of the remote control module executed in the terminal, or a command for removal of the remote control module, to the terminal through the remote device driver.

6. A remote control method of a remote control system including a first device connected with a terminal through universal serial bus (USB) and a second device connected with the first device via a network, comprising:

distributively building a remote device driver corresponding to the terminal on the first device and the second device;

providing, at the second device, a command for controlling the terminal to the terminal using the remote device driver; and

displaying, at the second device, a display image of the terminal provided from the terminal through the remote device driver.

7. The remote control method of claim 6, wherein distributively building the remote device driver on the first device and the second device includes:

requesting, at the first device, device information from the terminal;

transmitting, at the first device, device information received from the terminal to the second device; and

loading, at the second device, a function driver of the terminal on the basis of the device information received from the first device.

8. The remote control method of claim 6, wherein providing, at the second device, the command for controlling the terminal to the terminal using the remote device driver includes:

providing, at the second device, a remote control module for controlling the terminal to the terminal through the remote device driver; and

providing, at the second device, a command for execution of the remote control module provided to the terminal to the terminal through the remote device driver.
