A display apparatus and an operation method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes: a volatile memory; a nonvolatile memory; and a processor configured to: determine stability of a system for the display apparatus; when a power-off input for the display apparatus is received, if the system is determined to be stable, enter a power-saving mode while maintaining power supply to the volatile memory in which execution data regarding an application currently being executed is stored; and if the system is determined to be unstable, perform power-off processing after storing execution status information of at least one application being executed in the nonvolatile memory, perform booting to execute the application by using application execution status information stored in the nonvolatile memory, and store the execution data regarding the executed application in the volatile memory and then enter the power saving mode while maintaining the power supply to the volatile memory.

There is provided a space information sharing apparatus, a space information sharing method, and a program adapted to let users feel as if their spaces are interconnected in a multidirectional communication system while saving bandwidth. A control section is provided to control communication of space information indicative of appearances of a space of a first user to an apparatus of a second user on the basis of first sensing information representative of the state of the first user and second sensing information representative of the state of the second user. This technology is applied advantageously to multidirectional communication systems.

An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a generator configured to generate control information to be used to perform light emission control of a light-emitting unit provided in an operation terminal; and a transmitter configured to transmit the control information to the operation terminal.

An electronic apparatus includes: a first communication circuit configured to perform wireless communication in a first mode; a second communication circuit configured to perform wireless communication with an access point in a second mode; and a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to: obtain first identification information for a first mode-based wireless communication of an external apparatus through the first communication circuit, obtain address information for a second mode-based wireless communication of the external apparatus through the first communication circuit, obtain second identification information for the second mode-based wireless communication of the external apparatus through the second communication circuit using the obtained address, identify whether communication connection with the external apparatus is established through the first communication circuit or the second communication circuit based on the obtained first identification information, address information and second identification information, and perform an operation based on whether the communication connection with the external apparatus is established.

The present disclosure provides a display device that includes an external input interface including an input port connected to a source device, and a processor configured to detect that a source device is connected through an unselected input port of a plurality of input ports, activate an external input interface corresponding to the unselected input port, perform a connection process between the source device and the external input interface, deactivate error detection operation between the source device and the external input interface, generate fake connection information for maintaining connection between the source device and the external input interface based on information input to the external input interface from the source device, and switch the external input interface to a standby mode.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for the detection of human presence in front of a plurality of sensors such as those of speakers and a device with a processor, such as a television. Data gathered from the plurality of sensors may be analyzed by the processor to determine if one or more humans are present proximate to the device. Based on the determined presence or absence of one or more humans, further actions including, inter alia, activating a sleep mode for the one or more humans, shutting off the device in a green mode, or alerting an owner-user to the presence of an intruder can be taken.

A detection circuit and a wake-up method are provided. The detection circuit is adapted to a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) receiver that enters a power-saving mode in a fixed rate link (FRL) mode to detect whether or not an HDMI transmitter starts to transmit video packets through the FRL. The detection circuit includes a signal detection circuit detecting whether or not signal exists on the FRL and an FRL packet determination circuit determining whether or not the FRL packets are the video packets according to a variable value characteristic of the video packets and/or a fixed value characteristic of gap packets. An existence of the signal on the FRL indicates an existence of FRL packets on the FRL. When the FRL packets are the video packets, the FRL packet determination circuit wakes the HDMI receiver from the power-saving mode to resolve the video packets and display videos.

A controller and digital media player such as a television equipped with such a controller is disclosed. The controller provides for determining the end time of a program currently being played on the television and then triggering at least one trigger event to occur upon the end of the program currently being played. The controller is in communication with an ACR database, and is capable of determining program end times using ACR matching, EPG data of over-the-air broadcasts, and by the detecting of program end credits. Trigger events may vary, but include shutting the television off, and instructing other smart devices in communication with the controller to initiate various functions (turn on, turn off, open, close, send a message, etc.).

The present disclosure describes techniques for effectively utilizing a standby mode of a set top box (STB). The techniques according to the present disclosure comprise detecting a standby mode of the STB and in response to detecting the standby mode of the STB, selectively toggling an audio decoder of the STB to an ON state or selectively maintaining an ON state of the audio decoder. Accordingly, the techniques according to the present disclosure enable audio only playback from the STB in the standby mode.
