Abstract

A user terminal apparatus including: a display configured to display an execution screen of a music application; a user interface configured to receive a user command; a communicator configured to perform communication with an external display apparatus; and a processor configured to: provide, in response to the user command, a user interface (UI) screen including information regarding the external display apparatus, the external display apparatus being connected to the user terminal apparatus through a network, and control the communicator to transmit identification information of a music content provided on the music application execution screen to the external display apparatus selected on the UI screen.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A user terminal apparatus comprising:
a display configured to display an execution screen of a music application; a user interface configured to receive a user command; a communicator configured to perform communication with an external display apparatus; and a processor configured to:
provide, in response to the user command, a user interface (UI) screen comprising information regarding the external display apparatus, the external display apparatus being connected to the user terminal apparatus through a network, and
control the communicator to transmit identification information of a music content provided on the music application execution screen to the external display apparatus selected on the UI screen.

2 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the external display apparatus being selected while a music content is played by the music application, control the communicator to transmit identification information of the played music content to the selected external display apparatus.

3 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the external display apparatus being selected while a music content is searched for on the music application execution screen, control the communicator to transmit identification information of the searched for music content to the selected external display apparatus.

4 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the processor is further configured to, in response to a predetermined graphical user interface (GUI) provided on one area of the execution screen being selected, provide the UI screen, and the predetermined GUI comprises an icon representing the external display apparatus.

5 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the music content comprises at least one of a music content pre-stored in the user terminal apparatus, a music content shared by a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), a music content provided through streaming, and a music content provided through a radio channel.

6 . A controlling method of a user terminal apparatus comprising:
providing an execution screen of a music application according to a predetermined event; providing, in response to a user command being input to the execution screen, a user interface (UI) screen comprising information regarding an external display apparatus, the external display apparatus being connected to the user terminal apparatus through a network; and transmitting identification information of a music content provided on the music application execution screen to the external display apparatus which is selected on the UI screen.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the transmitting identification information comprises transmitting, in response to the external display apparatus being selected while a music content is played by the music application, identification information of the played music content to the selected external display apparatus.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the transmitting identification information comprises transmitting, in response to the external display apparatus being selected while a music content is searched for on the music application execution screen, identification information of the searched for music content to the selected external display apparatus.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein
the providing the UI screen comprises providing, in response to a predetermined graphical user interface (GUI) provided on one area of the execution screen being selected, the UI screen, and the predetermined GUI comprises an icon representing the external display apparatus.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the music content comprises at least one of a music content pre-stored in the user terminal apparatus, a music content shared by a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), a music content provided through streaming, and a music content provided through a radio channel.

11 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display; a communicator configured to perform communication with a user terminal apparatus, the user terminal providing an execution screen of a music application; and a processor configured to, in response to identification information of a music content being provided through the execution screen being received from the user terminal apparatus, control the display to display information related to the music content based on the received identification information.

12 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the identification information being received while the display apparatus is turned off, control the display apparatus to turn on and control the display to display the information related to the music content.

13 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the identification information being received while an image is displayed on the display, control the display to display a user interface (UI) screen that provides the information related to the music content on a portion of a display screen of the display.

14 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the information regarding the music content comprises at least one of detailed information on the music content, information on an application capable of servicing the music content, and information on Video On Demand (VOD) content related to the music content.

15 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a music source of the music content being received from the user terminal apparatus, control the received music source to be output through an external speaker.

16 . A controlling method of a display apparatus comprising:
receiving, from a user terminal apparatus, identification information of a music content provided through an execution screen of a music application, the execution screen being provided on the user terminal apparatus; and displaying information related to the music content based on the received identification information.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the displaying comprises, in response to the identification information being received while the display apparatus is turned off, turning on the display apparatus and displaying the information related to the music content.

18 . The method as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the displaying comprises, in response to the identification information being received while an image is displayed, displaying a user interface (UI) screen that provides the information related to the music content on a portion of a display screen of the display apparatus.

19 . The method as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the information related to the music content comprises at least one of detailed information on the music content, information on an application capable of servicing the music content, and information on Video On Demand (VOD) content related to the music content.

20 . A connected system comprising:
a display apparatus; and a user terminal apparatus configured to:
display a music application execution screen, and
transmit identification information of a music content provided on the execution screen to the display apparatus in response to a user command,
wherein the display apparatus is configured to, in response to receiving the identific
