Abstract

An operation method and mobile terminal connected to an electronic device are provided. An extracted piece of content among multiple pieces of content displayed on a screen of the electronic device and a command of a functional application are received. The functional application is executed according to the command using the extracted piece of content.

Claims (26)

1. An operation method of a mobile terminal connected to an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving, by the mobile terminal, a piece of content extracted from among multiple pieces of content displayed on a screen of the electronic device and a command of a functional application of the mobile terminal; and

executing, by the mobile terminal, the functional application according to the command using the piece of content.

2. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein executing the functional application comprises:

receiving, by a phone agent of the mobile terminal, the command of the functional application, the piece of content, and additional information of the functional application, and delivering the command, the extracted a piece of content, and the additional information to a phone application; and

executing, by the phone application of the mobile terminal, the functional application according to the command using the piece of content and the additional information.

3. The operation method of claim 2 , further comprising, if a phone event and an application command occur in the mobile terminal, delivering the phone event and the application command to the electronic device by the phone agent.

4. The operation method of claim 3 , wherein, upon receiving the phone event, the phone event is displayed in interaction with a phone service application by the phone agent in the electronic device and a user response is delivered from the electronic device to the mobile terminal.

5. The operation method of claim 3 , wherein, upon receiving the application command, the phone agent in the electronic device executes an operation corresponding to the application command.

6. The operation method of claim 2 , further comprising synchronizing, by a device agent in the electronic device and the phone agent, address book information stored in the mobile terminal with address book information stored in the electronic device during an initial connection.

7. The operation method of claim 2 , further comprising:

if the piece of content is a phone number, automatically receiving a call send command by a call sender application and the phone number at the mobile terminal through the phone agent; and

sending a call to the phone number by the phone application, upon receiving the call send command and the phone number through the phone agent.

8. The operation method of claim 2 , wherein executing the functional application comprises sending, by the phone application, a short message including the extracted piece of content to a recipient phone number included in the additional information of the functional application, if the extracted piece of content is text and the command of the functional application is Short Message Service (SMS) sending.

9. The operation method of claim 2 , wherein executing the function application comprises storing an image file by the phone application, if the extracted piece of content is the image file and the command of the functional application is memo writing.

10. A mobile terminal connected to an electronic device, the mobile terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive information from an electronic device; and

a controller configured to execute a functional application according to a command using a piece of content, upon receiving the piece of content extracted from among multiple pieces of contents displayed on a screen of the electronic device and the command of the functional application, from the electronic device.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive the command of the functional application, the piece of content, and additional information of the functional application, and to execute the functional application according to the command using the piece of content and the additional information.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , wherein, if a phone event and an application command occur in the mobile terminal, the controller is further configured to deliver the phone event and the application command to the electronic device.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein, upon receiving the phone event, the electronic device is configured to display the phone event in interaction with the phone service application and deliver a user response to the mobile terminal.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein, upon receiving the application command, the electronic device is configured to perform an operation corresponding to the application command.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein a device agent in the electronic device and the controller synchronize address book information stored in the mobile terminal with address book information stored in the electronic device during an initial connection.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein, if the piece of content is a phone number, the controller is further configured to automatically receive a call send command by a call sender application and the phone number, and to send a call to the phone number, upon receiving the call send command and the phone number.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein, if the piece of content is text and the command of the functional application is Short Message Service (SMS) sending, the controller is further configured to send a short message including the extracted piece of content to a recipient phone number included in the additional information of the functional application.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein, if the piece of content is an image file and the command of the functional application is memo writing, the controller stores the image file.
