Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a hardware processor configured to display a first icon indicative of a first group and a second icon indicative of a second group, display handwriting made on a first electronic apparatus and a second electronic apparatus of the first group if the first icon is selected, display handwriting made on a third electronic apparatus and a fourth electronic apparatus of the second group if the second icon is selected, receive a selection of a first file, transmit the first file to the first and second electronic apparatus if the first group is selected through the first icon, and transmit the first file to the third and fourth electronic apparatus if the second group is selected through the second icon.

Claims (52)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive handwriting made on other electronic apparatuses;

a screen capable of displaying the handwriting;

a hardware processor configured to:

display a first icon indicative of a first group comprising a first electronic apparatus and a second electronic apparatus and a second icon indicative of a second group comprising a third electronic apparatus and a fourth electronic apparatus;

display handwriting made on the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus, if the first icon is selected by a user;

display handwriting made on the third electronic apparatus and the fourth electronic apparatus, if the second icon is selected by the user;

receive a selection of a first file;

transmit the first file to the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus, if the first group is selected as a destination of the first file through the first icon;

transmit the first file to the third electronic apparatus and the fourth electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected as the destination of the first file through the second icon.

2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the hardware processor is configured to:

transmit the first file to the first electronic apparatus, if the first group is selected, and

transmit the first file to the third electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected,

the first file is transmitted from the first electronic apparatus to the second electronic apparatus, if the first file is transmitted to the first electronic apparatus, and

the first file is transmitted from the third electronic apparatus to the fourth electronic apparatus, if the first file is transmitted to the third electronic apparatus.

3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to transmit the first file to the first to fourth electronic apparatus, if all groups are selected as the destination.

4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to:

transmit a search request for searching for a group via a network in communication with the electronic apparatus and the first and third electronic apparatus, and

search for the first group and the second group by receive a response to the search request from the first electronic apparatus and the third electronic apparatus.

5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to:

receive a second file shared among the first group from the first electronic apparatus, if the first group is selected as a source through the first icon, and

receive a third file shared among the second group from the third electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected as the source through the second icon.

6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to receive the second file from the first electronic apparatus and the third file from the third electronic apparatus, if all groups are selected as the source.

7 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor comprises:

means for displaying a first icon indicative of a first group comprising a first electronic apparatus and a second electronic apparatus and a second icon indicative of a second group comprising a third electronic apparatus and a fourth electronic apparatus;

means for displaying handwriting made on the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus, if the first icon is selected by a user;

means for displaying handwriting made on the third electronic apparatus and the fourth electronic apparatus, if the second icon is selected by the user;

means for receiving a selection of a first file;

means for transmitting the first file to the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus, if the first group is selected as a destination of the first file through the first icon;

means for transmitting the first file to the third electronic apparatus and the fourth electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected as the destination of the first file through the second icon.

8 . A method comprising:

displaying a first icon indicative of a first group comprising a first electronic apparatus and a second electronic apparatus and a second icon indicative of a second group comprising a third electronic apparatus and a fourth electronic apparatus on a screen;

displaying handwriting made on the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus on the screen, if the first icon is selected by a user;

displaying handwriting made on the third electronic apparatus and the fourth electronic apparatus on the screen, if the second icon is selected by the user;

receiving a selection of a first file;

transmitting the first file to the first electronic apparatus and the second electronic apparatus, if the first group is selected as a destination of the first file through the first icon;

transmitting the first file to the third electronic apparatus and the fourth electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected as the destination of the first file through the second icon.

9 . The method of claim 8 , comprising

transmitting the first file to the first electronic apparatus if the first group is selected, and

transmitting the first file to the third electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected,

wherein

the first file is transmitted from the first electronic apparatus to the second electronic apparatus, if the first file is transmitted to the first electronic apparatus, and

the first file is transmitted from the third electronic apparatus to the fourth electronic apparatus, if the first file is transmitted to the third electronic apparatus.

10 . The method of claim 9 , comprising transmitting the first file to the first to fourth electronic apparatus, if all groups are selected as the destination.

11 . The method of claim 9 , comprising:

transmitting a search request for searching for a group via a network in communication with the electronic apparatus and the first and third electronic apparatus, and

searching for the first group and the second group by receiving a response to the search request from the first electronic apparatus and the third electronic apparatus.

12 . The method of claim 8 , comprising:

receiving a second file shared among the first group from the first electronic apparatus, if the first group is selected as a source through the first icon, and

receiving a third file shared among the second group from the third electronic apparatus, if the second group is selected as the source through the second icon.

13 . The method of claim 12 , comprising receiving the second file from the first electronic apparatus and the third file from the third electronic apparatus, if all groups are selected as the source.
