System for linking and controlling terminals and user terminal used in the same

Abstract

A system for linking and controlling terminals is disclosed. A user terminal includes an image unit configured to output image data corresponding to a first image to be shared with a receiving terminal viewed by a user of the user terminal, and a signal unit configured to transmit the image data outputted from the image unit and position information of a touch means touching the user terminal to the receiving terminal. Here, the position information is position information of the touch means touching the user terminal at a preset pressure level or lower or with a preset contact area or smaller, and is displayed on the receiving terminal in an image form.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The method and system described in this patent allow two terminals to communicate and control each other. The larger terminal can display the first image and the smaller terminal can display the second image, which is associated with the user's control operations on the smaller terminal. This allows the user to control the operations on the smaller terminal while viewing the larger terminal. Additionally, the user terminal can display the position of the touch means, which can reduce errors when making selections by touch. This technology improves the user experience when using the smaller terminal.

Problems solved by technology

Although an electronic terminal has the advantage of convenient portability due to its light weight and small size, it generally has a small screen, which does not allow the user to fully enjoy the game, etc.

That is, the small size of the electronic terminal may diminish the enjoyment of content such as games, web surfing, etc., and may make it inconvenient to check e-mail, etc.
