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 near field communication (NFC) interface having an NFC tag that stores information associated with the display device and connection information,
a display;
a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and
a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
based on the first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the NFC tag while the display device is in a powered-off state, establish a connection between the display device and the first user terminal device, and enter a standby mode in which a predetermined standby screen is displayed via the display;
receive information associated with content that is being output via the first user terminal device from the first user terminal device via the communication interface;
control the display device to output the content that is being output via the first user terminal device based on the information associated with the content; and
based on the first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the NFC tag while the connection between the display device and the first user terminal device is established, terminate the connection and control the display to display a user interface (UI) indicating that the connection is terminated.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the information associated with the content based on the first user terminal device being brought within communicative proximity of the NFC tag of the display device.

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.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the content that is being output via the first user terminal device being audio content, control the display to display an audio UI via the predetermined standby screen based on the audio content being received from the first user terminal device; and
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.

5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on 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.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on 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.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to 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.

8. 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:
based on the first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of a near field communication (NFC) tag 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 establish a connection between the display device and the first user terminal device,
receive a signal that requests information associated with content that is being output via the first user terminal device from the display device,
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; and
cause the display device to, based on the first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of the NFC tag of the display device while the connection between the display device and the first user terminal device is established, terminate the connection and display a user interface (UI) indicating that the connection is terminated.

9. The first user terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the content being an audio content, control the communication interface to transmit information associated with the audio content by using a second communication method of Bluetooth communication; and
based on the content being a video content, control the communication interface to transmit information associated with the video content by using a first communication method of peer-to-peer (P2P) communication.

10. The first user terminal device of claim 8 , 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 UI for selecting information associated with the content to be transmitted to the display device; and
based on the information associated with the content being selected via the UI for selecting the information, control the communication interface to transmit the selected information associated with the content to the display device.

11. The first user terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to cause 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.

12. A method for controlling a display device, the method comprising:
based on a first user terminal device being within communicative proximity of a near field communication (NFC) tag of the display device while the display device is in a powered-off state, establishing a connection between the display device and the first user terminal device, and entering a standby mode in which a predetermined standby screen is displayed via a display of the display device;
receiving information associated with content that is being output via the first user terminal device from
