Patent ID: 8180287

Claim:
A portable terminal comprising: a display unit configured to display various information; an user interface; a proximity communication interface configured to establish a wireless communication path with a counterpart device in a proximity state; a detector configured to detect whether the portable terminal is in an enabled state capable of performing a content movement operation with the user interface or in a disabled state that is not capable of performing the content movement operation with the user interface, the enabled state being a state in which the portable terminal allows an operation for moving contents to be entered into the user interface, and the disabled state being a state in which the portable terminal does not allow an operation for moving contents to be entered into the user interface; and a content controller configured to perform a process for controlling the display unit to display a list of contents which can be transmitted by the proximity communication, when the proximity communication interface establishes the wireless communication path and the detector detects that the portable terminal is in the enabled state, wherein when the proximity communication interface establishes the wireless communication path and the detector detects that the portable terminal is in the enabled state, the content controller performs a process comprising: performing a transmission request to transmit a list of contents stored in the counterpart device through the wireless communication path; controlling the display unit to display the content list received from the counterpart device in response to the list transmission request; and requesting the counterpart device to transmit designated contents through the wireless communication path when the contents to be moved from the displayed content list are designated through the user interface, and wherein when the proximity communication interface establishes the wireless communication path and the detector detects that the portable terminal is in the disabled state, the content controller performs, a process comprising: performing a list display request through the wireless communication path to request the counterpart device to display the content list on a display unit provided in the counterpart device.
