Abstract

Provided is a display device comprising: a wireless communication unit connected to a user terminal; a display; and a processor which transmits screen mode data of the display to the user terminal by means of the wireless communication unit, receives, from the user terminal, output video data based on the screen mode data, and displays the received output video data on the display.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a wireless communication interface configured to perform connection with a user terminal;
a display configured to rotate from a landscape mode to a portrait mode or from the portrait mode to the landscape mode; and
a processor configured to transmit screen mode data of the display while being in a screen mode to the user terminal through the wireless communication interface when the screen mode of the display is changed, receive image data based on the screen mode data comprising a landscape mode data when the screen mode of the display is changed to the landscape mode, or receive image data based on the screen mode data comprising a portrait mode data when the screen mode of the display is changed to the portrait mode, and display the received image data on the display,
the landscape mode of the display being a mode in which a long side of the display is in a horizontal direction and a short side of the display is in a vertical direction, and the portrait mode of the display being a mode in which the short side is in the horizontal direction and the long side is in the vertical direction.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the screen mode data to the user terminal using a user input back channel (UIBC) parameter.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the screen mode data to the user terminal using a Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) parameter.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the image data is image data for the landscape mode or image data for the portrait mode.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the image data for the landscape mode is image data including a practical image and a black image when the user terminal is in the portrait mode, and
wherein the image data for the portrait mode is image data including no black image by rotating the practical image in landscape orientation when the user terminal is in the portrait mode.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the user terminal and the display device transmit and receive coordinate mapping data to and from each other when the display device is switched from the landscape mode to the portrait mode or from the portrait mode to the landscape mode.

7. A method for operating a display device including a display configured to rotate from a landscape mode to a portrait mode or from the portrait mode to the landscape mode, the method comprising:
connecting to a user terminal;
when the display device is connected to the user terminal, transmitting a first screen mode data of the display to the user terminal while being in a first screen mode,
wherein the first screen mode data of the display includes at least one of a landscape mode data or a portrait mode data, the landscape mode of the display being a mode in which a long side of the display is in a horizontal direction and a short side of the display is in a vertical direction, and the portrait mode of the display being a mode in which the short side is in the horizontal direction and the long side is in the vertical direction;
receiving image data based on the first screen mode data from the user terminal;
when the first screen mode of the display is changed to a second screen mode,

transmitting a second screen mode data of the display to the user terminal;
receiving image data based on the second screen mode data from the user terminal; and
displaying the image data to the display.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first screen mode data includes the landscape mode data indicating that the display is in the landscape mode or the portrait mode data indicating that the display is in the portrait mode.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transmitting of the first screen mode data to the user terminal includes transmitting the first screen mode data to the user terminal using a user input back channel (UIBC) parameter.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transmitting of the first screen mode data to the user terminal includes
transmitting the first screen mode data to the user terminal using a Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) parameter.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the image data based on the first screen mode data is image data for the landscape mode or image data for the portrait mode.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the image data for the landscape mode is image data including a practical image and a black image when the user terminal is in the portrait mode, and
wherein the image data for the portrait mode is image data including no black image by rotating the practical image in landscape orientation when the user terminal is in the portrait mode.

13. A user terminal comprising:
a wireless communication interface configured to perform connection with a display device including a display configured to rotate from a landscape mode to a portrait mode or from the portrait mode to the landscape mode;
a display; and
a processor configured to receive first screen mode data from the display device through the wireless communication interface when the user terminal is connected to the display device, generate first image data to be transmitted to the display device based on the first screen mode data, transmit the generated first image data to the display device, receive second screen mode data from the display device through the wireless communication interface when a first screen mode is changed to a second screen mode, generate second image data to be transmitted to the display device based on the second screen mode data, and transmit the generated second image data to the display device,
wherein the first screen mode data includes a landscape mode data when the first screen mode is the landscape mode or the second screen mode data includes a portrait mode data when the second screen mode is the portrait mode, the landscape mode being a mode in which a long side of the display of the display device is in a horizontal direction and a short side of the display of the display device is in a vertical direction, and the portrait mode being a mode in which the short side is in the horizontal direction and the long side is in the vertical direction.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the first image data for the landscape mode when the first screen mode data received from the display device is screen mode data indicating that the display device is in the landscape mode and generate the second image data for the portrait mode when the second screen mode data is screen mode data indicating that the display device is in the portrait mode in a case where the user terminal is in a portrait mode.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a coordinate of the landscape mode data transmitted to the user terminal includes information indicating that a coordinate of a first vertex P 1 of a landscape image is (0, 0), a coordinate of a second vertex P 2 of the landscape image is (x, 0), a coordinate of a third vertex P 3 of the landscape image is (0, y), and a coordinate of a fourth vertex P 4 of the landscape image is (x, y), and
wherein a coordinate of the portrait mode data transmitted to the user terminal includes information indicating that a coordinate of a first vertex P 1 of a portrait image is (y, 0) of a portrait screen, a coordinate of a second vertex P 2 of the portrait image is (x, y) of the portrait screen, a coordinate of a third vertex P 3 of the portrait image is (o, 0) of the portrait screen, and a coordinate of a fourth vertex
