Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a display device, a user terminal device, a method for controlling a display device, and a method for controlling a user terminal device. The disclosure relates to a method in which a display device outputs content that is being output via a user terminal device based on a content request event associated with a request for the display device to output information associated with content that is being output via the user terminal device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a communication interface configured to communicate with a first user terminal device;
a display;
a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and
a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
in response to the first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the display device while the display device is in a powered-off state, enter a standby mode in which a predetermined standby screen is displayed via the display;
control the display to display an indicator indicating that the first user terminal device is within communicative proximity of the display device, on a region corresponding to a position where the first user terminal device is within communicative proximity of the display device, based on entering the standby mode;
receive information associated with content using a communication method corresponding to a type of the content that is being output via the first user terminal device from the first user terminal device via the communication interface;
based on the type of the content that is being output via the first user terminal device being video content, control the display to display the video content based on information associated with the video content that is received from the first user terminal device; and
based on the type of the content that is being output via the first user terminal device being audio content, control the display to display an audio user interface (UI) that is different than a UI that is concurrently being displayed via the first user terminal device on the standby screen, and control the display device to output the audio content, based on information associated with the audio content that is received from the first user terminal device,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
based on a second user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the display device in a state in which a connection between the display device and the first user terminal device is established, terminate the connection, display a UI indicating that the connection is terminated, and transmit a signal that requests information associated with content that is currently being output by the second user terminal device to the second user terminal device.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a near field communication (NFC) interface having an NFC tag that stores information associated with the display device and connection information,
wherein the processor is configured to receive the information associated with the content in response to the first user terminal device being brought within communicative proximity of the NFC tag of the display device, and
the connection information includes information associated with a connection method by which the information associated with the content that is output via the first user terminal device is receivable.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a wake-up signal via the NFC interface and enter the standby mode in which the predetermined standby screen is displayed via the display, based on the first user terminal device being brought within communicative proximity of the display device while the display device is in the powered-off state; and
control the display to display the audio UI via the standby screen based on the audio content being received from the first user terminal device.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the type of the content that is being output via the first user terminal device being video content, switch a mode of the display device from the standby mode to a normal mode; and
control the display to display the video content and an indicator indicating that the information associated with the video content is received from the first user terminal device.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the type of the content that is being output via the first user terminal device being video content received from an external server, receive, from the external server via the communication interface, a portion of the video content that corresponds to a current playback point of the video content that is being output via the first user terminal device; and
control the display to display the portion of the video content based on the information associated with the video content that includes information identifying a title of the video content, and the current playback point of the video content that is being output via the first user terminal device.

6. A first user terminal device comprising:
a display;
a communication interface configured to communicate with a display device;
a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and
a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
in response to the first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the display device while the display device is in a powered-off state, transmit a wake-up signal to the display device that causes the display device to enter a standby mode in which a predetermined standby screen is displayed via a display of the display device and causes the display device to display an indicator, indicating that the first user terminal device is within communicative proximity of the display device, on a region corresponding to a position where the first user terminal device is within communicative proximity of the display device,
receive a signal that requests information associated with content that is being output via the first user terminal device from the display device,
identify a type of the content that is being output via the first user terminal device; and
control the communication interface to transmit, to the display device, the information associated with the content that is being output via the first user terminal device by using a communication method corresponding to the identified type of the content,
wherein the processor is configured to control the communication interface to transmit, to the display device, the information associated with the content by using a first communication method based on the content being video content, and by using a second communication method based on the content being audio content,
wherein the display device is configured to, based on a second user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the display device in a state in which a connection between the display device and the first user terminal device is established, terminate the connection, display a UI indicating that the connection is terminated, and transmit a signal that requests information associated with content that is currently being output by the second user terminal device to the second user terminal device.

7. The first user terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the content being the audio content, control the communication interface to transmit information associated with the audio content by using the second communication method of Bluetooth communication; and
based on the content being the video content, control the communication interface to transmit information associated with the video content by using the first communication method of peer-to-peer (P2P) communication.

8. The first user terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on receiving, from the display device, the signal that requests the information associated with the content that is being output via the first user terminal device, control the display to display a user inter
