Abstract

Disclosed is a technique for allowing a user of the mobile communication terminal 10 to block transmission of screen information to a remotely connected computer through a simple touch on a task bar, without having to input a command or activate a program associated with a icon during a remote control session. As a result, the users personal information is protected while at the same time allowing the remote computer and the mobile communication terminal to communicate data effectively.

Claims (10)

1. A method of blocking transmission of a screen of a mobile communication terminal while performing remote control, in which a computer connected remotely controls the mobile communication terminal employing a touch screen as an input/output means, the method comprising:

executing a remote control program installed in the controlled mobile communication terminal;

setting a sense area, by the remote control program, in a task bar implemented on the touch screen of the controlled mobile communication terminal; and

stopping transmission of screen information of the controlled mobile communication terminal to the controlling computer connected remotely, by the remote control program, when a first touch is sensed in the sense area.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising resuming the transmission of the screen information of the controlled mobile communication terminal to the controlling computer connected remotely when a second touch is sensed in the sense area.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor, the computer readable medium comprising:

program instructions that execute a remote control program installed in a mobile communication terminal employing a touch screen as an input/output means, wherein a computer connected remotely controls the mobile communication terminal;

program instructions that set a sense area in a task bar implemented on the touch screen of the controlled mobile communication terminal; and

program instructions that stop transmission of screen information of the controlled mobile communication terminal to the controlling computer connected remotely, by the remote control program, when a first touch is sensed in the sense area.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 3 , further comprising program instructions that resume transmission of the screen information of the controlled mobile communication terminal to the controlling computer connected remotely when a second touch is sensed in the sense area.
