The display apparatus includes a display that displays an application execution screen, the application execution screen displaying an application; a communication unit that communicates with an external server and an external device that remotely controls the display apparatus; and a control unit that transmits to the external device a generation signal that instructs the external device to generate an application control screen in response to receiving an input command to execute the application, controls the communication unit to receive a command from the external device input through the application control screen, and operates the application according to the received command.

An electronic device may have a housing. The housing may be characterized by a vertical axis and may have housing structures such as cylindrical housing structures with a cylindrical surface. A speaker may be mounted in the housing to provide sound through openings in the housing structures. A visual output device may be mounted in the housing to provide light through openings in the housing structures. The visual output device may include an electrophoretic display, a light-emitting diode display, or other display with an array of pixels that display images or may include other components for emitting light. During operation, voice commands may be received by a microphone in the device and action taken based on the commands and other information. The action taken may include playing sound with the speaker and providing visual output with the visual output device.

A codeset is described in a Public Codeset Communication Format (PCCF) as a format block including a plurality of fields having readily decipherable values, such as ASCII character values. One field is a mark/space information field that includes a sequence of mark time indicators and space time indicators for an operational signal of the codeset. A second field is a signal characteristic information field for the operational signal. Signal characteristic information may include carrier on/off information, repeat frame information, toggle control information, and last frame information. The PCCF is a codeset interchange format of general applicability.

A display apparatus, an electronic device, an interactive system, and controlling methods thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes: a storage unit which stores peripheral device control information in which a remote control signal for controlling a peripheral device of the display apparatus matches with a control signal corresponding to a user voice; a voice collector which the user voice; a communicator which transmits the collected user voice to the display apparatus and receives the control signal corresponding to the user voice from the display apparatus; an infrared ray (IR) transmitter which transmits the remote control signal for controlling the peripheral device; and a controller which, if the control signal is received from the display apparatus, controls the IR transmitter to transmit a remote control signal corresponding to the received control signal among remote control signals stored in the storage unit, to the peripheral device.

A terminal interaction method includes establishing, by a first terminal, a connection to at least one second terminal using a BLUETOOTH component, and obtaining location information of the second terminal; when the first terminal points to a direction of a second terminal, identifying, by the first terminal, the second terminal based on the location information and the direction to which the first terminal currently points; and when the first terminal performs a first action, sending, by the first terminal, a first message to the second terminal based on the first action, where the first message indicates the second terminal to perform a first function, and the first function is in a one-to-one correspondence with the first action.

A system for determining a location and an orientation of a remote control unit within a mesh network. A remote control unit (RCU) includes a top wireless orientation beacon at a first end and a bottom wireless orientation beacon at a second end. The top wireless orientation beacon and the bottom wireless orientation beacon provide location information to a controller device. A plurality of wireless mesh beacons are disposed in a predetermined area to form a mesh network, and the controller device uses the plurality of mesh beacons to generate a map of the predetermined area. The controller device processes location information obtained from the RCU to determine a position and orientation of the RCU relative to the controller device in the map of the predetermined area.

The present invention relates to a wireless display system that minimizes a case in which a control signal does not reach a control target due to interference or the like when a remote control device transmits the control signal to a receiving module or a transmitting module, and a method for operating the same. The wireless display system includes a receiving module including a display unit, and a transmitting module configured to transmit, to the receiving module, an image to be output by the display unit. The receiving module and the transmitting module share a control signal received from a remote control device.

A display device includes a controller, a display processor, a resolution converter, and a display screen. The controller, in response to first request of setting a current signal source type to a first signal source type which is a type of a signal source for providing display data having a target resolution and a first definition, generates and transmits a first control signal corresponding to the first request. The display processor receives and forwards the first control signal from the controller. The resolution converter converts the initial display data into first display data having a target resolution and a first definition in response to the first control signal, and transmits the first display data to the display processor. The target resolution is greater than the initial resolution. The first definition is greater than a definition of display data obtained by stretching the initial display data and having the target resolution.

A display device and a control method therefor are disclosed. The display device includes: a display; a transmitter configured to transmit an infrared (IR) signal; and one or more processors configured to: control the display to display a multi-screen including a plurality of images based on a plurality of image signals received from a plurality of source devices, each of the plurality of source devices using a same IR protocol; perform, based on a user command indicating a first image from among the plurality of images, a process for selectively controlling a first source device, from among the plurality of source devices, which provides the first image; and transmit an IR signal for selectively controlling the first source device through the transmitter.
