Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an image display apparatus and an image display system including the same. An image display apparatus according to one embodiment includes a display, a signal processing device to output an image signal, an interface to receive key data from a mobile terminal, and a memory to store the key data, in which the interface receives data related to a second image display apparatus from the mobile terminal, and in response to a mirroring input with the second image display, the signal processing device is configured to receive a mirroring image from the second image display apparatus or transmit a displayed image to the second image display apparatus, and in response to the mirroring image from the second image display apparatus, the signal processing device is configured to display the received mirroring image on the display. Therefore, it is possible to perform mirroring between a plurality of image display apparatuses.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image display apparatus comprising:
a display;
a signal processing device configured to output an image signal to the display;
an interface configured to receive key data received from a mobile terminal; and
a memory configured to store the key data,
wherein the interface receives data related to a second image display apparatus from the mobile terminal,
wherein in response to a mirroring input with the second image display apparatus being received, the signal processing device is configured to receive a mirroring image from the second image display apparatus or transmit a displayed image to the second image display apparatus,
wherein in response to the mirroring image being received from the second image display apparatus, the signal processing device is configured to display the received mirroring image on the display, and
wherein in response to the second image display apparatus being turned on after data related to the second image display apparatus is received from the mobile terminal, the interface performs pairing with the second image display apparatus.

2. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in response to key data stored in the second image display apparatus being same as the key data stored in the memory, the signal processing device is configured to complete pairing with the second image display apparatus.

3. The image display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a communication method for the pairing is different from a communication method for receiving the mirroring image.

4. The image display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein in response to second key data being received from a second mobile terminal via the interface, the memory is configured to delete the key data and store the second key data.

5. The image display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein in response to the mirroring input with the second image display apparatus being received after the pairing with the second image display apparatus is completed, the interface receives the mirroring image from the second image display apparatus or transmits the displayed image to the second image display apparatus, and
wherein in response to the mirroring image being received from the second image display apparatus, the signal processing device is configured to display the received mirroring image on the display.

6. The image display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein in response to a setting screen display input after key data received from the mobile terminal is received, the signal processing device is configured to display a setting screen including the key data, and
wherein in response to a setting screen display input after second key data received from a second mobile terminal is received, the signal processing device is configured to display a setting screen including the second key data.

7. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in response to an application for controlling an electronic device being executed in the mobile terminal, the key data is received from the mobile terminal.

8. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in response to the second image display apparatus being turned on in a state where an application for controlling an electronic device is executed in the mobile terminal, pairing between the mobile terminal and the second image display apparatus is performed,
after the pairing between the mobile terminal and the second image display apparatus is performed, key data related to the application is transmitted from the mobile terminal to the second image display apparatus,
in response to the image display apparatus being turned on in a state where the application for controlling the electronic device is executed in the mobile terminal, pairing between the mobile terminal and the image display apparatus is performed, and
after the pairing between the mobile terminal and the image display apparatus is performed, the interface receives the key data related to the application from the image display apparatus.

9. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in response to key data stored in the second image display apparatus being same as key data stored in the memory during performing the pairing with the second image display apparatus, the interface completes the pairing with the second image display apparatus, and
in response to the key data stored in the second image display apparatus being not the same as the key data stored in the memory, the interface stops the pairing with the second image display apparatus.

10. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the signal processing device is configured to display a setting screen including the key data according to a setting screen display input.

11. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in response to a mirroring input with the second image display apparatus being received during displaying a first image on the display, the signal processing device is configured to display the first image and the mirroring image together.

12. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in response to the mirroring input with the second image display apparatus being received during displaying a first image on the display, the signal processing device is configured to make the first image disappear and display only the mirroring image.

13. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the interface receives data related to a third image display apparatus from the mobile terminal, and receives a second mirroring image from the third image display apparatus or transmits a displayed image to the third image display apparatus in response to a mirroring input with the third image display apparatus being received, and
wherein in response to the second mirroring image being received from the third image display apparatus, the signal processing device is configured to display the received second mirroring image on the display.

14. An image display system comprising:
an image display apparatus;
a second image display apparatus spaced apart from the image display apparatus; and
a mobile terminal configured to transmit same key data to each of the image display apparatus and the second image display apparatus in response to the image display apparatus and the second image display apparatus being turned on in a state where an application for controlling the second image display apparatus of the image display apparatus is executed,
wherein the image display apparatus comprises:
a display;
a signal processing device configured to output an image signal to the display;
an interface configured to receive key data received from the mobile terminal; and
a memory configured to store the key data,
wherein the interface receives data related to the second image display apparatus from the mobile terminal,
wherein in response to a mirroring input with the second image display apparatus being received, the signal processing device is configured to receive a mirroring image from the second image display apparatus or transmit a displayed image to the second image display apparatus, and
wherein in response to the mirroring image being received from the second image display apparatus, the signal processing device is configured to display the received mirroring image on the display.

15. The image display system of claim 14 , wherein the image display apparatus and the second image display apparatus perform pairing in response to the same key data as each other being stored, and
wherein in response to the mirroring image being received from the second image display apparatus, the image display apparatus displays the received mirrori
