Abstract: A text management system may include a text message transmission server that transmits a message received from a first device to a second device. The text message transmission server may include a device manager that manages device information of the second device, a receiver that receives a message from the first device, a message manager that determines a transmission path of the message to the second device based on the device information of the second device, and a transmitter that transmits, to the second device, the message along the determined transmission path.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to controlling an application execution in user equipment. A user request for executing an application may be received. An execution condition may be obtained associated with the requested application. Whether the user equipment is connected to an external device may be detected. An execution of the requested application may be controlled based on a detection result and the obtained execution condition.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for restricting transferring of image data produced by a predetermined application to a coupled external device. The method may include detecting an activation of an application in a user equipment while the user equipment is coupled to an external device and determining whether image data produced by the activated application is transferred to the coupled external device. The determining may include restricting the produced image data of the activated application from being transferred to the coupled external device when an application control type of the activated application is a restricted application, otherwise, transferring the produced image data of the activated application to the coupled external device.

Abstract: A text management system may include a text message transmission server that transmits a message received from a first device to a second device. The text message transmission server may include a device manager that manages device information of the second device, a receiver that receives a message from the first device, a message manager that determines a transmission path of the message to the second device based on the device information of the second device, and a transmitter that transmits, to the second device, the message along the determined transmission path.

Abstract: The disclosure is related authenticating a digital message exchanged among communication devices. A device may perform, for authenticating a digital message, transmitting an authentication request message to a messaging server when a message is received, receiving an authentication result from the messaging server, and displaying the authentication result with the received message. A server may perform, for authenticating a message, receiving an authentication request message for requesting authentication of a target message from a device that received the target message, performing an authentication procedure in response to the received authentication request message, and transmitting an authentication result message to the device.

Abstract: In one example, message protection may include receiving a message, encrypting the received message, storing the encrypted message in a memory, authorizing one or more applications to handle the message, notifying authorized applications of receipt of the message, decrypting the encrypted message, and permitting one of the authorized applications to display the decrypted message.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for controlling a plurality of coupled external devices. The method may include determining whether one of applications installed in user equipment is activated upon receipt of a user input when the user equipment is coupled to a plurality of external devices, selecting one of the coupled external devices as a target external device to be mapped, when the application is determined as being activated, and mapping the selected coupled external device with the activated application and establishing a signal route between the user equipment and the selected coupled external device in association with the activated application.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to processing an input event of an external device in user equipment. Coupling event data may be received from the external device coupled to the user equipment. An input event type associated with the received coupling event data may be identified. Input event data may be obtained from the received coupling event data. The obtained input event data may be processed using at least one of an input application programming interface (API) and an input sub-device driver, according to the identified input event type.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a case that is capable of controlling colors. The electronic device includes a case containing thermochromic pigments. The case includes a plurality of thermoelectric elements disposed at an internal surface. The case is coupled to a power source unit that supplies power to the plurality of thermoelectric elements and a temperature sensor that measuring a temperature of the plurality of thermoelectric elements. The electronic device includes an input unit for setting a color of the case and a controller for controlling power supply of the power source unit such that a temperature of the plurality of thermoelectric elements measured by the temperature sensor is included in a temperature range corresponding to a color input from the input unit.
