Provided are a display apparatus and/or an operating method thereof. The display apparatus may include: a display; a memory storing one or more instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to identify a device controller activated on the display apparatus and a device activated on the display apparatus, determine whether the identified device controller is compatible with the identified device, control, when it is determined that the identified device controller is compatible with the identified device, a control signal from the device controller to be directly provided to the device, and convert, when it is determined that the identified device controller is incompatible with the identified device, the control signal from the device controller into a control signal recognizable by the device, and control the converted control signal to be provided to the device.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for overcoming latency and loss of signal detection in remote control displays. An exemplary system includes a remote control, a host computing device, and one or more target systems communicatively coupled to each other over a wired and/or wireless network. One method includes receiving, by the remote control and from a host computing device, a first video frame captured by a target device, determining a first time corresponding to receipt of the first video frame, receiving, from the host computing device, a second video frame, determining a second time corresponding to receipt of the second video frame, comparing the time difference to a latency threshold, and causing an alert graphic element to be displayed indicating a latency in communication.

A wireless communication game system includes a plurality of mobile game apparatuses, which function as a parent device or a child device and are capable of making a communication with each other, and broadcasts from the parent device a parent device packet including a parent device PID, a user name UserName, a game name GameName, an OC flag, an E slot, a U slot, and a payload. All the parent device packets are received from the parent device existing within a communicationable range of a user's own apparatus, and the user's own apparatus creates a parent device list, and displays the parent device list on an LCD. Therefore, a user or a player of his own apparatus looks at the game name of the parent device list, for example, and operates a cross key included in an operation key so as to select one desired parent device. Then, transmitting a child device number CID of the user's own apparatus at the E slot designated by the parent device packet, the user's own apparatus transmits a connection request to the parent device.
