Method for running applications using mobile device and playback apparatus supporting BD-J specification
A method for running applications using a mobile device and a playback apparatus supporting a BD-J specification is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a function that cannot be provided by the playback apparatus supporting the BD-J specification is provided by the mobile device, thereby preventing the lack of resources and the rise of suppressing the manufacturing costs of the playback apparatus.
1. A method for running applications using a mobile device and a playback apparatus, the method comprising steps of:
(a) executing a main application in the playback apparatus;
(b) transmitting, by the playback apparatus, to the mobile device an auxiliary information required for running the main application when the auxiliary information is required during the execution of the main application;
(c) executing an auxiliary application associated with the auxiliary information in the mobile device;
(d) transmitting a response information obtained in the mobile device by executing the auxiliary application to the playback apparatus; and
(e) running the main application based on the response information in the playback apparatus,
wherein the playback apparatus is not capable of providing a GPS (Global Positioning System) function which provides a location information,
wherein the main application is a map service application requiring the location information, and the auxiliary application is a GPS application,
wherein the auxiliary information includes a request for the map service application, and the response information includes the location information, and
wherein the location information is displayed on a screen of a display apparatus connected to the playback apparatus,
wherein the main application requires a value measured by a compass sensor that is equipped by the mobile device and not equipped by the playback apparatus, wherein the auxiliary information includes a request for the compass sensor-measured value, and wherein the response information includes the compass sensor-measured value.
2. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the playback apparatus supports a BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java) specification.
3. A method of running applications using a playback apparatus, comprising steps of:
(a) executing a main application by the playback apparatus;
(b) transmitting, by the playback apparatus, to a mobile device an auxiliary information required for running the main application when the auxiliary information is required during the execution of the main application;
(c) receiving, by the playback apparatus, from the mobile device a response information obtained by executing an auxiliary application associated with the auxiliary information; and
(d) running the main application based on the response information by the playback apparatus,
wherein the playback apparatus is not capable of providing a GPS (Global Positioning System) function which provides a location information,
wherein the main application is a map service application requiring the location information, and the auxiliary application is a GPS application,
wherein the auxiliary information includes a request for the map service application, and the response information includes the location information, and
wherein the location information is displayed on a screen of a display apparatus connected to the playback apparatus,
wherein the main application requires a value measured by a compass sensor that is equipped by the mobile device and not equipped by the playback apparatus, wherein the auxiliary information includes a request for the compass sensor-measured value, and wherein the response information includes the compass sensor-measured value.
