Terminal and method for providing application-related data
View Patent ↗A method for providing application-related data includes connecting a mobile terminal and a device, determining an object displayed on the mobile terminal, determining a data file associated with the object, and controlling the data file associated with the object to be accessible by the connected device and controlling information of the data file to be displayed on a display of the connected device according to the determination of the object. A terminal that provides application-related data includes a connection unit connecting the terminal and another device to each other; and a synchronization unit, when the connection unit is connected to the another device, synchronizing related data of an application that is in the middle of execution in the terminal or an application selected by a user after the connection with the another device.
1. A method that uses a controller to provide application-related data, the method comprising:
connecting a mobile terminal and a device;
determining an object displayed on the mobile terminal;
determining a data file associated with the object; and
controlling, by the controller, the data file associated with the object to be accessible by the connected device and controlling information of the data file to be displayed on a display of the connected device according to the determination of the object,
wherein: the data file comprises at least one of a file and a folder;
the data file associated with the object is stored in a real-time mounting directory according to the determination of the object;
the real-time mounting directory is mounted to the connected device;
the data file associated with the object is removed from the real-time mounting directory according to a selection of another object.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data file is separately controllable by the connected device by selecting the displayed information of the data file using a user input interface of the connected device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein
a data file associated with the other object is stored in the real-time mounting directory according to the selection of the other object.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time mounting directory is located at a memory of the mobile terminal.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the object is a file or a folder selected by a user of the mobile terminal.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the object is an application selected by a user of the mobile terminal.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
retrieving files and folders associated with the selected application; and
displaying the files and folders associated with the selected application on at least one of the mobile terminal and the connected device.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
executing a first application on the mobile terminal;
displaying a plurality of data files associated with the first application on the mobile terminal;
selecting a first data file from the plurality of data files; and
displaying information of the first data file on the display of the connected device.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
releasing a default mounting folder and mounting a temporary mounting folder to the connected device, the temporary mounting folder configured to mount the data file associated with the object to the connected device in real-time.
10. A mobile terminal to provide application-related data, comprising:
a display to display an image;
a connector to connect to a device; and
a controller to determine an object displayed on the display of the mobile terminal, to determine a data file associated with the object, to control the data file associated with the object to be accessible by the connected device, and to control information of the data file to be displayed on a display of the connected device according to the determination of the object,
wherein: the data file comprises at least one of a file and a folder;
the data file associated with the object is stored in a real-time mounting directory according to the determination of the object;
the real-time mounting directory is mounted to the connected device;
the data file associated with the object is removed from the real-time mounting directory according to a selection of another object.
11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the data file is separately controllable by the connected device by selecting the displayed information of the data file using a user input interface of the connected device.
12. the mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein
a data file associated with the other object is stored in the real-time mounting directory according to the selection of the other object.
13. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the real-time mounting directory is located at a memory of the mobile terminal.
14. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the object is a file or a folder selected by a user of the mobile terminal.
15. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the object is an application selected by a user of the mobile terminal.
16. A device to provide application-related data, comprising:
a display to display an image;
a connector to connect to a mobile terminal; and
a controller to mount a real-time mounting directory of the mobile terminal, to determine a data file associated with an object from the real-time mounting directory, to control the data file associated with the object to be mounted to the device, and to control information of the mounted data file to be displayed on the display of the device according to the determination of the object,
wherein: the object is displayed on the mobile terminal, and contents stored in the real-time mounting directory are changed according to the determination of the object;
the data file comprises at least one of a file and a folder;
the data file associated with the object is stored in a real-time mounting directory according to the determination of the object;
the data file associated with the object is removed from the real-time mounting directory according to a selection of another object.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the mounted data file is separately controllable by the device by selecting the displayed information of the mounted data file using a user input interface of the device.
