  • Patent number: 9313723
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for executing an application by using a communication address may be implemented as terminal that includes a service providing unit that provides an application, and an IP address managing unit that assigns an IP address to the application. The terminal may also have a communication unit configured to operate as a Wi-Fi Host Access Point (AP) unit or as a Wi-Fi client unit. When the communication unit operates as a Wi-Fi Host AP unit, it uses the assigned IP address to carry out its WiFi host AP functions. When the communication unit operates as a Wi-Fi client unit, it searches for an accessible Wi-Fi Host AP, identifies a service set identifier (SSID) and an IP address of a Wi-Fi Host AP, and accesses the Wi-Fi Host AP.

  • Patent number: 8248452
    Abstract: A network display apparatus, which is connected to a network and has a thin client function, is used as a monitor of a host device. If audio and video data is received through the network while the network display apparatus is used as a monitor of the host device, the network display apparatus may transmit the audio and video data to the host device. The host device performs signal processing for the audio and video data received through the network from the network display apparatus, and outputs the processed data. Accordingly, the audio and video data received from an external apparatus through the network by the network display apparatus is output by the host device, and thus it is possible to perform operations using the host device and simultaneously to provide a user of the audio and video data received from the external apparatus without source change.
