Abstract
A method for performing message control through a multimedia player includes: detecting whether a mobile phone associated to the multimedia player sends information indicating existence of at least one incoming message; and when it is detected that the mobile phone associated to the multimedia player sends the information indicating the existence of the at least one incoming message, triggering the multimedia player to provide a user with a user interface, allowing the user to read the incoming message through the multimedia player. An associated apparatus is also provided. For example, the apparatus may include a portion of the multimedia player, such as a control circuit of the multimedia player. In another example, the apparatus may include the whole of the multimedia player. In particular, the multimedia player can be one or a combination of an optical disc player, a set top box (STB), a television (TV), and/or a TV receiver.
