Abstract

A display apparatus, an electronic apparatus, and an operating method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes: a communication interface; a memory storing one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor is further configured to, receive, from an electronic apparatus connected through a first communication protocol, electronic apparatus identification information for identifying the electronic apparatus and unique identification information generated by the electronic apparatus, based on receiving an input for accepting authentication in accordance with the electronic apparatus identification information, store the unique identification information received from the electronic apparatus, based on receiving an authentication request from the electronic apparatus connected through a second communication protocol, control the communication interface to transmit the stored unique identification information to the electronic apparatus, and receive a result of authentication performed based on the transmitted unique identification information, from the electronic apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus comprising:
a communication interface comprising communication circuitry;
memory storing one or more instructions; and
at least one processor including processing circuitry,
wherein the one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, causes the display apparatus to:
in response to transmitting a first authentication request to an electronic apparatus connected through a first communication protocol, receive, from the electronic apparatus, electronic apparatus identification information for identifying the electronic apparatus and unique identification information generated by the electronic apparatus,
in response to receiving a user input for accepting a first authentication in accordance with the electronic apparatus identification information, perform a first authentication for the electronic apparatus by storing the unique identification information received from the electronic apparatus and transmit, to the electronic apparatus through the first communication protocol, a control signal indicating a success of the first authentication,
in response to receiving a second authentication request from the electronic apparatus connected through a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol, control the communication interface to transmit, to the electronic apparatus, the unique identification information which is stored in the display apparatus during the first authentication,
receive, from the electronic apparatus, a control signal indicating a success of a second authentication which is performed by the electronic apparatus based on the unique identification information transmitted from the display apparatus being identical to the unique identification information generated by and stored in the electronic apparatus, and
according to a success of mutual authentication between the display apparatus and the electronic apparatus by the success of the first authentication and the success of the second authentication, control the communication interface to transmit, to the electronic apparatus, wireless communication connection information of the display apparatus which is used by the electronic apparatus for connecting to an access point.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions that, when executed by the least one processor individually or collectively, causes the display apparatus to:
output a graphical user interface for inquiring about whether the electronic apparatus identification information is authenticated,
store the unique identification information in response to an input for accepting authentication of the electronic apparatus, and
discard the unique identification information in response to an input indicating that authentication of the electronic apparatus is not accepted.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, causes the display apparatus to receive the control signal indicating a failure of the second authentication from the electronic apparatus based on the unique identification information transmitted by the display apparatus not corresponding to the unique identification information stored in the electronic apparatus, and
in response to receiving the control signal indicating the failure of the second authentication, output a graphical user interface for requesting manual authentication.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the graphical user interface for requesting manual authentication comprises a message guiding to operate a specified function of the electronic apparatus to accept authentication of the display apparatus.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one of more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, causes the display apparatus to, in response to receiving the control signal indicating the success of the second authentication from the electronic apparatus, control the communication interface to transmit, to the electronic apparatus, cloud access information used in accessing a cloud account of the display apparatus registered in a server computer.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an authentication operation between the display apparatus and the electronic apparatus is performed based on the success of the first authentication and the success of the second authentication by the user input indicating the acceptance of a user during the first authentication for authenticating the electronic apparatus by the display apparatus to cause the second authentication for authenticating the display apparatus by the electronic apparatus to be automatically performed without user intervention.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a communication interface comprising circuitry;
memory storing one or more instructions; and
processing circuitry,
wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry individually or collectively, causes the electronic apparatus to:
in response to receiving a first authentication request from a display apparatus connected through a first communication protocol, control the communication interface to transmit, to the display apparatus, electronic apparatus identification information for identifying the electronic apparatus and unique identification information generated by the electronic apparatus,
receive, from the display apparatus through the first communication protocol, a control signal indicating a success of a first authentication for the electronic apparatus performed by the display apparatus,
in response to controlling the communication interface to transmit a second authentication request to the display apparatus connected through a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol, receive, from the display apparatus, the unique identification information, which is generated by the electronic apparatus, transmitted to the display apparatus and stored in the display apparatus during the first authentication,
perform a second authentication for the display apparatus determining that the unique identification information received from the display apparatus is identical to the unique identification information generated by and stored in the electronic apparatus and transmit, to the display apparatus through the second communication protocol, a control signal indicating a success of the second authentication, and
according to a success of mutual authentication between the display apparatus and the electronic apparatus by the success of the first authentication and the success of the second authentication, control the communication interface to receive from the display apparatus, wireless communication connection information of the display apparatus which is used by the electronic apparatus for connecting to an access point.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry individually or collectively, causes the electronic apparatus to:
in response to receiving a control signal indicating a success of the first authentication in response to the first authentication request, store the unique identification information, and
in response to receiving a control signal indicating a failure of the first authentication in response to an input indicating that authentication of the electronic apparatus is not accepted for the first authentication request, discard the unique identification information.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed b
