Abstract

A display device and a mobile device are disclosed. The display device comprises a memory; a display module; a communication module performing communication with at least one server; and a controller controlling the memory, the display module and the communication module. Particularly, the controller changes a content output through the display module in accordance with position information of the mobile device, which is received from the server.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a memory;
a display module;
a communication module performing communication with at least one server; and
a controller operably coupled with the memory, the display module, and the communication module,
wherein the controller is configured to:
cause the display module to output different contents in accordance with a distance between a mobile device and the display device; and
change a playtime of content output through the display module based on at least one of a moving direction or a speed of the mobile device.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the controller is further configured to change a specific content output through the display module in accordance with position information of the mobile device; and
the position information of the mobile device is determined using relative signal strength between at least two short distance communication modules installed near the display device and the mobile device.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein if a difference between a first absolute value of signal strength between a first short distance communication module and the mobile device and a second absolute value of signal strength between a second short distance communication module and the mobile device corresponds to a predetermined range, then the mobile device is located in an area of interest of the display device.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the area of interest is grouped by a plurality of areas in accordance with signal strength.

5. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the first short distance communication module and the second short distance communication module correspond to beacons that enable Bluetooth communication, and are installed near the display device.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the communication module receives a specific content corresponding to ID of the mobile device from the at least one server; and
the controller is further configured to cause the display module to output the received specific content.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the display module to selectively output the content in accordance with a display-on/off of the mobile device.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device corresponds to at least one of a digital signage, a monitor, or a Television (TV).
