Claim:
1. A method of managing a plurality of screen states of a computer and a touch screen mobile communication terminal, the method comprising: executing a mobile control program and a computer control program respectively installed on the mobile communication terminal and the computer, causing the computer to remotely control the mobile communication terminal; establishing a session between the mobile communication terminal and the computer; detecting, by an operating system of the mobile communication terminal, a predetermined user input at the mobile communication terminal or an absence of user input at the mobile communication terminal for a predetermined amount of time, while the computer remotely controls the mobile communication terminal; activating, by the operating system of the mobile communication terminal, a sleep mode of the mobile communication terminal in response to the detection of the predetermined user input or the absence of user input, while the computer remotely controls the mobile communication terminal; transmitting, by the mobile control program, a sleep signal to the computer when the operating system of the mobile communication terminal activates the sleep mode of the mobile communication terminal in response to the detection of the predetermined user input or the absence of user input, while the computer remotely controls the mobile communication terminal; switching, by the computer control program, a screen display unit of the computer to a corresponding sleep mode in response to receiving the sleep signal at the computer from the mobile communication terminal, while the computer remotely controls the mobile communication terminal; setting, by the computer control program, a sensing area on the screen display unit when the screen display unit is switched to the corresponding sleep mode in response to receiving the sleep signal at the computer from the mobile communication terminal, while the computer remotely controls the mobile communication terminal; transmitting, by the computer control program, a restoration signal to the mobile communication terminal when a manipulation is sensed in the sensing area of the screen display unit; and inputting, by the mobile control program, a manipulation signal into the operating system of the mobile communication terminal in response to receipt of the restoration signal, the manipulation signal disabling the sleep mode of the mobile communication terminal.
