Abstract

A user terminal apparatus includes a communicator configured to perform communication with a display apparatus, which outputs an audio signal and a video signal, an audio outputter configured to include a receiver terminal, and a controller configured to, in response to a receiver being connected to a receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus, transmit a signal indicating that the receiver is connected, to the display apparatus and in response to the output audio signal being received from the display apparatus, output the received audio signal to the receiver terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A control method of a user terminal apparatus, comprising:
performing communication with a display apparatus that outputs an audio signal and a video signal; in response to determining that a receiver is connected to a receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus, transmitting a signal to the display apparatus indicating that the receiver is connected; receiving an audio signal from the display apparatus; and outputting the received audio signal to the receiver terminal.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to receiving the audio signal from the display apparatus, transmitting a signal to the display apparatus for turning off an output of a speaker of the display apparatus.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the receiver is separated from the receiver terminal, transmitting a signal to the display apparatus for turning on the output of the speaker of the display apparatus.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to receiving the audio signal from the display apparatus, transmitting a signal to the display apparatus for adjusting a volume of the display apparatus to a predetermined volume.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the receiver is separated from the receiver terminal, transmitting a signal to the display apparatus for adjusting the volume of the display apparatus to a volume which was set prior to connecting to the display apparatus.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receiver comprises at least one of an earphone and a headphone.

7 . A user terminal apparatus, comprising:
a communicator configured to perform communication with a display apparatus, which is configured to output an audio signal and a video signal; an audio outputter configured to include a receiver terminal; and a controller configured to:
in response to determining that a receiver is connected to the receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus, transmit a signal to the display apparatus indicating that the receiver is connected, and
in response to receiving the audio signal from the display apparatus, output the received audio signal to the receiver terminal.

8 . The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to the audio signal being received, transmit a signal to the display apparatus for turning off an output of a speaker of the display apparatus.

9 . The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to the receiver being separated from the receiver terminal, transmit a signal to the display apparatus for turning on the output of the speaker of the display apparatus.

10 . The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit a signal to the display apparatus for adjusting a volume of the display apparatus to a predetermined volume.

11 . The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the receiver is separated from the receiver terminal, transmit a signal to the display apparatus for adjusting the volume of the display apparatus to a volume that was set prior to the receiver being connected to the display apparatus.

12 . A control method of a display apparatus, comprising:
outputting an audio signal and a video signal; receiving a signal from a user terminal apparatus indicating that a receiver is connected to a receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus; and transmitting the audio signal to the user terminal apparatus.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising turning off an output of a speaker of the display apparatus.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising:
in response to receiving a signal indicating that the receiver is separated from the user terminal apparatus, turning on the output of the speaker of the display apparatus.

15 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising adjusting a volume of the display apparatus to a predetermined volume.

16 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising:
in response to receiving a signal from the user terminal apparatus indicating that the receiver is separated from the user terminal apparatus, adjusting the volume of the display apparatus to a volume that was set prior to receiving the signal indicating that the receiver is connected.

17 . A display apparatus, comprising:
an outputter configured to output an audio signal and a video signal; a communicator configured to perform communication with a user terminal apparatus; and a controller configured to, in response to receiving a signal from the user terminal apparatus indicating that a receiver is connected to a receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus, transmit the audio signal to the user terminal apparatus.

18 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to receiving the signal from the user terminal apparatus indicating that the receiver is connected to a receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus, turn off an output of a speaker.

19 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to receiving a signal indicating that the receiver is separated from the user terminal apparatus, turn on the output of the speaker.

20 . A display system, comprising:
a display apparatus configured to output an audio signal and a video signal; and a user terminal apparatus configured to, in response to determining that a receiver is connected to the receiver terminal, transmit a signal to the display apparatus indicating that the receiver is connected, and in response to receiving the audio signal from the display apparatus, output the received audio signal through the receiver terminal, wherein the display apparatus is further configured to, in response to receiving a signal indicating that the receiver is connected to the receiver terminal of the user terminal apparatus, transmit the audio signal to the user terminal apparatus.
