Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An apparatus comprising: a speaker; and a controller operatively coupled with the speaker, the controller configured to: generate a signal for requesting mode to transmit contents when a preset motion of the apparatus is detected, extract authentication information required to connect other devices, transform the extracted authentication information into an audio signal, and output the audio signal via the speaker.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to: identify at least one of a swing motion and a tilting motion in a specific direction, via a motion sensor operatively coupled with the apparatus.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to mix the audio signal with another audio signal.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to: receive a communication connection request signal from an external apparatus, via a short-range wireless communication module operatively coupled with the controller; and transmit a response signal corresponding to the communication connection request signal, to the external apparatus, via the short-range wireless communication module.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to: transmit, to the external apparatus, content selected by a user via the short-range wireless communication connection.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to: terminate the short-range wireless communication connection when all of the content is transmitted; and indicate, via one of a message and sound, that all of the content is transmitted.
7. A method comprising: generating, at an apparatus, a signal for requesting mode to transmit contents when a preset motion of the apparatus is detected; extracting authentication information required to connect other devices; transforming the extracted authentication information into an audio signal; and outputting, via the speaker, the audio signal.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: identifying whether a preset motion of the apparatus is detected, wherein the identifying comprises identifying at least one of a swing motion and a tilting motion in a specific direction, via a motion sensor operatively coupled with the apparatus.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the outputting of the audio signal comprises mixing the audio signal with another audio signal.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: stopping to output the authentication information via an audio processor based at least in part on a determination that a communication connection request signal of short-range wireless communication from an external electronic device is received within a specified time period.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: transmitting, to the external electronic device, content selected by a user, via the short-range wireless communication connection.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting comprises: terminating the short-range wireless communication connection when all of the content is transmitted to the external electronic device; and indicating, via a message or sound, that all of the content is transmitted to the external electronic device.
13. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: receiving a communication connection request signal from an external electronic device, via a short-range wireless communication module operatively coupled with the apparatus; and transmitting a response signal corresponding to the communication connection request signal, to the external electronic device, via the short-range wireless communication module.
