Abstract

An example display device includes a display and a processor configured to execute at least one instruction. The processor is configured to control a first camera set at a first angle of view to be activated in response to a request to run an application for providing a home training service, obtain a first image through the activated first camera, control a second camera set at a second angle of view different from the first angle of view to be activated in response to at least one of at least one object included in the first image being identified as a training target object, and provide the home training service based on at least one image obtained through the second camera.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a display;
at least one processor including processing circuitry; and
memory storing at least one instruction,
wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configures the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to:
activate a first camera set at a first angle of view in response to a request to execute an application for providing a home training service,
obtain a first image through the activated first camera,
detect at least one person included in the first image,
for each respective person, obtain a score representing an intention of the respective person to use the home training service,
identify at least one training target using the score for each respective person,
obtain at least one second image including the at least one training target using a second angle of view different from the first angle of view, wherein the second angle of view is based on at least one of a number of the at least one training target in the first image or a location of the at least one training target in the first image, and
provide the home training service based on the at least one second image.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first angle of view is larger than the second angle of view.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is a wide-angle camera among at least one camera used for the home training service.

4. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a communication module, including a communication circuit, configured to communicate with at least one camera, wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to identify a camera having a maximum angle of view among the at least one camera as the first camera, and activate the first camera in response to the request to execute the application.

5. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one camera, wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to identify a camera having a maximum angle of view among the at least one camera as the first camera, and activate the first camera in response to the request to execute the application.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to:
select the second camera having the second angle of view among at least one camera used for the home training service, wherein the at least one second image is obtained from the second camera, and
obtain coaching information for the at least one training target, based on the at least one second image.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to:
change the first angle of view of the first camera to the second angle of view, wherein the at least one second image is obtained from the first camera having the changed angle of view, and
obtain coaching information for the at least one training target based on the at least one second image.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the score for each respective person is based on at least one of a location of the at least one person, a gaze direction of the at least one person, or a distance between the at least one person and the display device.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to:
select at least one of a plurality of contents, based on a number of users corresponding to the identified training target object, and
control the display to display a content list including the selected at least one content.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to select at least one of a plurality of contents, based on a number of users corresponding to the identified training target object, and a formation of the users.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to obtain the at least one second image from a capturing angle different from a capturing angle for capturing the first image.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to display on the display a list of persons detected in the first image ordered according to the score for each respective person.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one instruction, when executed, configure the at least one processor to individually or collectively control the display device to identify the at least one training target based on input for selecting persons from the ordered list.

14. A method of operating a display device for providing a home training service, the method comprising:
activating a first camera set at a first angle of view in response to a request to execute an application for providing a home training service;
obtaining a first image through the activated first camera;
detecting at least one person included in the first image;
for each respective person, obtain a score representing an intention of the respective person to use the home training service;
identify at least one training target using the score for each respective person;
obtaining at least one second image including the at least one training target using a second angle of view different from the first angle of view in response to at least one of at least one object included in the first image being identified as a training target object, wherein the second angle of view is based on at least one of a number of the at least one training target in the first image or a location of the at least one training target in the first image; and
providing the home training service based on the at least one second image.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first angle of view is larger than the second angle of view.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first camera is a wide-angle camera among at least one camera used for the home training service.

17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
obtaining coaching information for the at least one training target based on the at least one second image; and
providing the coaching information while the home training service is being provided.

18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
selecting the second camera having the second angle of view among at least one camera used for the home training service, wherein the at least one second image is obtained from the second camera; and
activate the second camera.

19. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, configure a display device to perform operations comprising:
activating a first camera set at a first angle of view in response to a request to execute an application for providing a home training service;
obtaining a first image thr
