Abstract

A system and method of controlling a mirror link are provided. The method includes connecting, by a controller, a multimedia system mounted within a vehicle to a portable terminal and executing an application to perform the mirror link. In addition, a menu is output to independently control an output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal to the vehicle. The controller is also configured to independently control the output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on a user selection.

Claims

1. A method of controlling a mirror link, the method comprising:

connecting, by a controller, a multimedia system mounted within a vehicle to a portable terminal;

executing, by the controller, an application to perform the mirror link;

outputting, by the controller, a menu to independently control an output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal to the vehicle; and

independently controlling, by the controller, the output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on a user selection, wherein

different images are output on both screens of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on the user selection, and

the multimedia system transmits information of the vehicle to the portable terminal via the mirror link when the outputted image of the portable terminal is streamed to the multimedia system via the mirror link.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu includes a selection item to output the application executed in the portable terminal in the AVN, and output a screen related to information of the vehicle in the portable terminal.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the independently controlling of the output image includes:

operating, by the controller, the portable terminal to output a screen related to the information of the vehicle; and

operating, by the controller, the AVN to output the application executed in the portable terminal.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the information of the vehicle is transmitted to the portable terminal using a SetParameter protocol defined in a real-time streaming protocol (RTSP).

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

converting, by the controller, the information of the vehicle into the SetParameter protocol.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the information of the vehicle is transmitted and stored in a remote server through the portable terminal.

7. A system of controlling a mirror link, the method comprising:

a memory configured to store program instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;

connect a multimedia system mounted within a vehicle to a portable terminal;

execute an application to perform the mirror link;

output a menu to independently control an output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal to the vehicle; and

independently control the output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on a user selection, wherein

different images are output on both screens of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on the user selection, and

the multimedia system transmits information of the vehicle to the portable terminal via the mirror link when the outputted image of the portable terminal is streamed to the multimedia system via the mirror link.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the menu includes a selection item to output the application executed in the portable terminal in the AVN, and output a screen related to information of the vehicle in the portable terminal.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to:

operate the portable terminal to output a screen related to the information of the vehicle; and

operate the AVN to output the application executed in the portable terminal.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the information of the vehicle is transmitted to the portable terminal using a SetParameter protocol defined in a real-time streaming protocol (RTSP).

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to:

convert the information of the vehicle into the SetParameter protocol.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the information of the vehicle is transmitted and stored in a remote server through the portable terminal.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor, the computer readable medium comprising:

program instructions that connect a multimedia system mounted within a vehicle to a portable terminal;

program instructions that execute an application to perform the mirror link;

program instructions that output a menu to independently control an output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal to the vehicle; and

program instructions that independently control the output image of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on a user selection, wherein

different images are output on both screens of the multimedia system and the portable terminal based on the user selection, and

the multimedia system transmits information of the vehicle to the portable terminal via the mirror link when the outputted image of the portable terminal is streamed to the multimedia system via the mirror link.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the menu includes a selection item to output the application executed in the portable terminal in the AVN, and output a screen related to information of the vehicle in the portable terminal.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, further comprising:

program instructions that operate the portable terminal to output a screen related to the information of the vehicle; and

program instructions that operate the AVN to output the application executed in the portable terminal.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the information of the vehicle is transmitted to the portable terminal using a SetParameter protocol defined in a real-time streaming protocol (RTSP).

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising:

program instructions that convert the information of the vehicle into the SetParameter protocol.
