Abstract

A communication terminal includes a transceiver to receive first touch information from a counterpart terminal, the first touch information having coordinate information of a touch input inputted by a user of the counterpart terminal, the coordinate information being identified based on a coordinate of the touch input on an image displayed on the counterpart terminal. An image signal processor of the communication terminal controls the first touch information to be displayed on a display of the communication terminal, and controls image information corresponding to the image displayed on the counterpart terminal to be displayed on the display in association with the first touch information, and controls the first touch information to be displayed on the image information.

Claims (41)

1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a transceiver to receive first touch information from a counterpart mobile communication terminal through a mobile communication network, the first touch information comprising coordinate information of a touch input inputted on a touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal, the coordinate information being identified based on a coordinate of the touch input on an image displayed on the touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal;

an image signal processor to control the first touch information to be displayed on a display of the mobile communication terminal, and to control image information corresponding to the image displayed on the touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal to be displayed on the display in association with the first touch information,

wherein the image signal processor controls the first touch information to be displayed on the image information; and

a touch information processor to generate second touch information based on a touch input received on the display on which the first touch information is displayed, the touch input being inputted on a touch screen display of the mobile communication terminal,

wherein the transceiver receives the first touch information from the counterpart mobile communication terminal as first touch data that is separate from the image information; and

wherein the transceiver transmits the second touch information to the counterpart mobile communication terminal as second touch data that is separate from the image information.

2. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver receives the image information from the counterpart mobile communication terminal.

3. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the image information is shared between the mobile communication terminal and the counterpart mobile communication terminal in real time.

4. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the image signal processor controls the first touch information and the second touch information to be displayed on the image information.

5. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the image information is generated in the mobile communication terminal.

6. A method for performing a touch input communication by a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:

performing a communication with a counterpart mobile communication terminal through a mobile communication network;

receiving first touch information from the counterpart mobile communication terminal, the first touch information comprising coordinate information of a touch input inputted on a touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal, the coordinate information being identified based on a coordinate of the touch input on an image displayed on the touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal;

controlling image information corresponding to the image displayed on the touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal to be displayed on a display of the mobile communication terminal,

wherein the first touch information is received from the counterpart mobile communication terminal as first touch data that is separate from the image information;

controlling the first touch information to be displayed on the display in association with the image information,

wherein the first touch information is displayed on the image information;

generating second touch information based on a touch input received on the display on which the first touch information is displayed, the touch input being inputted on a touch screen display of the mobile communication terminal; and

transmitting the second touch information to the counterpart mobile communication terminal, wherein the second touch information is transmitted to the counterpart mobile communication terminal as second touch data that is separate from the image information.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving the image information from the counterpart mobile communication terminal.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

sharing the image information between the mobile communication terminal and the counterpart mobile communication terminal in real time.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first touch information and the second touch information are displayed on the image information.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the image information is generated in the mobile communication terminal.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors and a transceiver, cause the device to:

perform a communication with a counterpart mobile communication terminal through a mobile communication network;

receive first touch information from the counterpart mobile communication terminal, the first touch information comprising coordinate information of a touch input inputted on a touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal, the coordinate information being identified based on a coordinate of the touch input on an image displayed on the touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal;

control image information corresponding to the image displayed on the touch screen display of the counterpart mobile communication terminal to be displayed on a display of the mobile communication terminal,

wherein the first touch information is received from the counterpart mobile communication terminal as first touch data that is separate from the image information;

control the first touch information to be displayed on the display in association with the image information,

wherein the first touch information is displayed on the image information;

generate second touch information based on a touch input received on the display on which the first touch information is displayed, the touch input being inputted on a touch screen display of the mobile communication terminal; and

transmit the second touch information to the counterpart mobile communication terminal, wherein the second touch information is transmitted to the counterpart mobile communication terminal as second touch data that is separate from the image information.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the image information is received from the counterpart mobile communication terminal.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the image information is shared between the mobile communication terminal and the counterpart mobile communication terminal in real time.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the first touch information and the second touch information are displayed on the image information.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the image information is generated in the mobile communication terminal.
