More particularly, apparatuses and methods relate to a user terminal which enables a user to select a part of an image and to transmit the part of the image to a display apparatus. The user terminal includes a display unit configured to display an image and a drop area thereon, a communication portion configured to be connected to a display apparatus, and a controller configured to select at least a part of an image of the display unit by receiving a user's input, and if the selected part of the image is dragged and dropped into the drop area, controls the communication portion to transmit the selected part of the image to the display apparatus.

Claims (27)

1. A user terminal comprising:

a display configured to display a web page in a first area;

a transceiver configured to be connected to a display apparatus; and

at least one processor configured to:

display a movable pop-up drop area in a part of the first area in response to a predetermined service being executed while the web page is displayed on the first area,

select at least one item of a plurality of items included in the web page displayed on the first area by receiving a user's input,

in response to the selected at least one item of the web page being dragged into the movable pop-up drop area, display the at least one item of the web page in the movable pop-up drop area and control the transceiver to transmit the at least one item of the web page to the display apparatus,

in response to a user's input on the movable pop-up drop area, switch a screen of the movable pop-up drop area with a screen of the web page in the first area, thereby displaying the at least one item of the web page in the first area and the web page in the movable pop-up drop area, and

transmit a user command for manipulating the at least one item of the web page to the display apparatus.

2. The user terminal of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display the selected at least one item of the web page in the movable pop-up drop area if the selected at least one item of the web page is dragged and dropped into the movable pop-up drop area.

3. The user terminal of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to maintain the at least one item of the web page displayed in the movable pop-up drop area if the web page displayed on the screen is changed.

4. The user terminal of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit synchronization information of content to the display apparatus if the at least one item of the web page displayed in the movable pop-up drop area is the content.

5. The user terminal of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the switched web page displayed on the screen to control a screen of the display apparatus.

6. A control method of a user terminal comprising:

connecting to a display apparatus;

displaying a web page in a first area of a display;

displaying a movable pop-up drop area in a part of the first area in response to a predetermined service being executed while the web page is displayed on the first area;

selecting at least one item of a plurality of items included in the web page by receiving a user's input;

in response to the selected at least one item of the web page being dragged into the movable pop-up drop area, displaying the at least one item of the web page in the movable pop-up drop area and transmitting the at least one item of the web page to the display apparatus;

in response to a user's input on the movable pop-up drop area, switch a screen of the movable pop-up drop area with a screen of the web page in the first area, thereby displaying the at least one item of the web page in the first area and the web page in the movable pop-up drop area; and

transmitting a user command for manipulating the at least one item of the web page to the display apparatus.

7. The control method of claim 6 , wherein if the selected at least one item of the web page is dragged and dropped into the movable pop-up drop area, displaying the selected at least one item of the web page in the movable pop-up drop area.

8. The control method of claim 7 , further comprising:

if the web page of the screen is changed, maintaining the at least one item of the web page displayed in the movable pop-up drop area.

9. The control method of claim 7 , wherein the transmitting to the display apparatus comprises:

if the at least one item of the web page displayed in the movable pop-up drop area is content, transmitting synchronization information of the content to the display apparatus.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform the method of claim 6 .
