Portable device and control method thereof

1. A method for transmitting a user input of a portable device, comprising:

detecting, by the portable device, a navigating input in a navigation mode for controlling an external device which is connected with the portable device,

wherein the external device displays a displayable content which includes an external device input box, and

wherein the navigating input is for navigating the displayable content;

transmitting, by the portable device, a control signal corresponding to the detected navigating input to the external device;

displaying, by the portable device, an indicator which indicates a capability of mode switching from the navigation mode to a user input mode;

initiating, by the portable device, the user input mode by displaying a portable device input box extracted from a displayed area of the displayable content when a mode switching input is detected,

wherein initiating the user input mode comprises determining a priority of the external device input box, and displaying the portable device input box corresponding to the determined priority of the external device input box, wherein the priority depends on a position of the external device input box in the displayable content; and

transmitting, by the portable device, the user input which is inputted in the portable device input box,

wherein, when the external device input box is moved from the displayed area to a non-displayed area of the displayable content, the portable device input box is maintained on the portable device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

terminating the user input mode when the user input for the portable device input box is transmitted; and

switching back to the navigation mode.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mode switching input includes at least one of a touch screen input, a stylus input, a hardware button input, a gesture recognition, an image recognition, or a voice recognition.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying a terminating interface for terminating the user input mode; and

terminating the user input mode when the user input to the terminating interface is detected.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority further depends on whether the corresponding input box is displayed on the external device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displayable content includes a webpage, a video content, a multimedia content, or an internet content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the external device includes a television, a monitor, or a projector.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating the user input mode comprises displaying a virtual keyboard with the portable device input box as input means.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the displayable content includes a plurality of input boxes, transmitting the user input further comprises:

displaying a transmitting interface for transmitting the user input which is received through a plurality of input box groups, wherein each input box group includes related input boxes and the input box groups are mutually independent; and

transmitting the user input which is received through the plurality of input box groups when the user input to the transmitting interface is detected.

10. A portable device for transmitting a user input, the portable device comprising:

a sensor unit configured to detect the user input;

a communications unit configured to communicate with an external device; and

a controller configured to perform actions including:

detecting a navigating input in a navigation mode for controlling the external device which is connected with the portable device,

wherein the external device displays a displayable content which includes an external device input box, and

wherein the navigating input is for navigating the displayable content;

transmitting a control signal corresponding to the detected navigating input to the external device;

displaying an indicator which indicates a capability of mode switching from the navigation mode to a user input mode;

initiating the user input mode by displaying a portable device input box extracted from a displayed area of the displayable content when a mode switching input is detected,

wherein initiating the user input mode comprises determining a priority of the external device input box, and displaying the portable device input box corresponding to the determined priority of the external device input box, wherein the priority depends on a position of the external device input box in the displayable content; and

transmitting the user input which is inputted in the portable device input box,

wherein, when the external device input box is moved from the displayed area to a non-displayed area of the displayable content, the portable device input box is maintained on the portable device.

11. The portable device of claim 10 , the actions further comprising:

terminating the user input mode when the user input for the portable device input box is transmitted; and

switching back to the navigation mode.

12. The portable device of claim 10 , wherein the mode switching input includes at least one of a touch screen input, a stylus input, a hardware button input, a gesture recognition, an image recognition, or a voice recognition.

13. The portable device of claim 10 , the actions further comprising:

displaying a terminating interface for terminating the user input mode; and

terminating the user input mode when the user input to the terminating interface is detected.

14. The portable device of claim 10 , wherein the priority further depends on whether the corresponding input box is displayed on the external device.

15. The portable device of claim 10 , wherein the displayable content includes a webpage, a video content, a multimedia content, or an internet content.

16. The portable device of claim 10 , wherein the external device includes a television, a monitor, or a projector.

17. The portable device of claim 10 , wherein, when the displayable content includes a plurality of input boxes, transmitting the user input further comprises:

displaying a transmitting interface for transmitting the user input which is received through a plurality of input box groups, wherein each input box group includes related input boxes and the input box groups are mutually independent; and

transmitting the user input which is received through the plurality of input box groups when the user input to the transmitting interface is detected.

18. A method for transmitting a user input of a portable device, the method comprising:

detecting a navigating input in a navigation mode for controlling an external device which is connected with the portable device,

wherein the external device displays a displayable content which includes an external device input box, and

wherein the navigating input is for navigating the displayable content;

transmitting a control signal corresponding to the detected navigating input to the external device;

switching from the navigation mode to a user input mode by displaying a portable device input box extracted from a displayed area of the displayable content when a mode switching input is detected,

wherein switching from the navigation mode to the user input mode comprises determining a priority of the external device input box, and displaying the portable device input box corresponding to the determined priority of the external device input box, wherein the priority depends on a position of the external device input box in the displayable content; and

transmitting the user input which is inputted in the portable device input box,

wherein, when the external device input box is moved from the displayed area to a non-displayed area of the displayable content, the portable device input box is maintained on the portable device.
