Abstract

A user terminal apparatus including: a display configured to display an execution screen of a music application; a user interface configured to receive a user command; a communicator configured to perform communication with an external display apparatus; and a processor configured to: provide, in response to the user command, a user interface (UI) screen including information regarding the external display apparatus, the external display apparatus being connected to the user terminal apparatus through a network, and control the communicator to transmit identification information of a music content provided on the music application execution screen to the external display apparatus selected on the UI screen.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A user terminal apparatus comprising:
a speaker;
a display;
a user interface;
a communicator; and
a processor configured to:
control the display to provide, in response to a user command being input through the user interface, a user interface (UI) screen comprising information regarding an external display apparatus, the external display apparatus being connected to the user terminal apparatus through a network,
control, in response to the external display apparatus being selected on the UI screen while sound corresponding to music content is provided through the speaker, the communicator to transmit identification information of the music content to the external display apparatus for use by the external display apparatus to search for information related to the music content, and
control the speaker to continuously provide the sound corresponding to the music content after the identification information is transmitted to the external display apparatus.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the external display apparatus being selected on the UI screen while a music content is searched for on a music application execution screen displayed on the display, control the communicator to transmit identification information of the searched for music content to the selected external display apparatus.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the processor is further configured to, in response to a predetermined graphical user interface (GUI) provided on one area of a music application execution screen displayed on the display being selected, provide the UI screen, and
the predetermined GUI comprises an icon representing the external display apparatus.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the music content comprises at least one of a music content pre-stored in the user terminal apparatus, a music content shared by a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), a music content provided through streaming, and a music content provided through a radio channel.

5. A controlling method of a user terminal apparatus comprising:
providing, in response to a user command being input, a user interface (UI) screen comprising information regarding an external display apparatus, the external display apparatus being connected to the user terminal apparatus through a network;
transmitting, in response to the external display apparatus being selected on the UI screen while sound corresponding to music content is provided through a speaker of the user terminal apparatus, identification information of the music content to the external display apparatus for use by the external display apparatus to search for information related to the music content; and
providing, through the speaker, the sound corresponding to the music content continuously after the identification information is transmitted to the external display apparatus.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the transmitting identification information comprises transmitting, in response to the external display apparatus being selected on the UI screen while a music content is searched for on a music application execution screen, identification information of the searched for music content to the selected external display apparatus.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
the providing the UI screen comprises providing, in response to a predetermined graphical user interface (GUI) provided on one area of a music application execution screen being selected, the UI screen, and
the predetermined GUI comprises an icon representing the external display apparatus.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the music content comprises at least one of a music content pre-stored in the user terminal apparatus, a music content shared by a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), a music content provided through streaming, and a music content provided through a radio channel.

9. A display apparatus comprising:
a display;
a communicator; and
a processor configured to:
in response to receiving, from a user terminal apparatus via the communicator, identification information of a music content corresponding to sound being provided through a speaker of the user terminal apparatus, search for information related to the music content using the received identification information and control the display to provide the information related to the music content which results from searching, so that the information related to the music content is provided through the display while the sound corresponding to the music content is provided through the speaker of the user terminal apparatus.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the identification information being received while the display apparatus is turned off, control the display apparatus to turn on and control the display to provide the information related to the music content.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the identification information being received while an image is displayed on the display, control the display to provide a user interface (UI) screen that provides the information related to the music content on a portion of a display screen of the display.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the information related to the music content comprises at least one of detailed information on the music content, information on an application capable of servicing the music content, and information on Video On Demand (VOD) content related to the music content.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a music source of the music content being received from the user terminal apparatus, control the received music source to be output through an external speaker.

14. A controlling method of a display apparatus comprising:
receiving, from a user terminal apparatus, identification information of a music content corresponding to sound being provided through a speaker of the user terminal apparatus;
searching for information related to the music content using the received identification information; and
providing the information related to the music content which results from searching, so that the information related to the music content is provided through the display apparatus while the sound corresponding to the music content is provided through the speaker of the user terminal apparatus.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the providing comprises, in response to the identification information being received while the display apparatus is turned off, turning on the display apparatus and providing the information related to the music content.

16. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the providing comprises, in response to the identification information being received while an image is displayed, providing a user interface (UI) screen that provides the information related to the music content on a portion of a display screen of the display apparatus.

17. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the information related to the music content comprises at least one of detailed information on the music content, information on an application capable of servicing the music content, and information on Video On Demand (VOD) content related to the music content.

18. A connected system comprising:
a display apparatus; and
an electronic apparatus
