Abstract

A display system is provided. The display system includes a display apparatus configured to display an image, an image providing apparatus configured to provide an image, and a remote control device configured to transmit a control signal for controlling the image providing apparatus. The display apparatus is further configured to control the remote control device to transmit at least one control signal to the image providing apparatus, and acquire apparatus information of the image providing apparatus by analyzing an image provided by the image providing apparatus to the display apparatus in response the image providing device receiving the at least one control signal transmitted by the remote control device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display system comprising:
a display apparatus configured to display an image; an image providing apparatus configured to provide an image; and a remote control device configured to transmit a control signal for controlling the image providing apparatus, wherein the display apparatus is configured to:
control the remote control device to transmit at least one control signal to the image providing apparatus, and
acquire apparatus information of the image providing apparatus by analyzing an image provided by the image providing apparatus to the display apparatus in response the image providing device receiving the at least one control signal transmitted by the remote control device.

2 . A display apparatus comprising:
a communicator configured to communicate with a remote control device; a display configured to display an image; and a processor configured to:
control the communicator to transmit, to the remote control device, a control command which controls the remote control device to transmit a control signal to the image providing apparatus, and
acquire apparatus information of the image providing apparatus by analyzing an image that is provided by the image providing apparatus in response to the image providing apparatus receiving the control signal transmitted by the remote control device.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the communicator to sequentially transmit, to the remote control device, a plurality of control commands, which controls the remote control device to sequentially transmit different control signals.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the control signal controls the image providing apparatus to provide an image comprising a logo to the display apparatus.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the control signal controls the image providing apparatus to provide a menu screen of the image providing apparatus to the display apparatus.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the communicator to transmit the control command to the remote control device in response to the image providing apparatus being newly sensed by the display apparatus.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to acquire the apparatus information of the image providing apparatus by sensing a logo from an image provided from the image providing apparatus after transmitting the control command.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to update a source name of the image providing apparatus based on the acquired apparatus information.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the communicator to transmit a control code set corresponding to the acquired apparatus information to the remote control device.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a changed image not being received from the image providing apparatus after transmitting the control command a preset number of times, control the display to display a user interface (UI) regarding an adjustment of a direction of the remote control device.

11 . A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a remote control device, a control command, which controls the remote control device to transmit a control signal to an image providing apparatus; and acquiring apparatus information of the image providing apparatus by analyzing an image that is provided to the display apparatus by the image providing apparatus in response to the image providing apparatus receiving the control command transmitted by the remote control device.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting comprises sequentially transmitting, to the remote control device, a plurality of control commands, which control the remote control device to sequentially transmit different control signals.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the control signal controls the image providing apparatus to provide an image comprising a logo to the display apparatus.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the control signal controls the image providing device to provide a menu screen of the image providing apparatus to the display apparatus.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the control command to the remote control device in response to the image providing apparatus being newly sensed.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the acquiring the apparatus information of the image providing apparatus comprises sensing a logo from an image provided by the image providing apparatus in response to the image providing apparatus receiving the control signal transmitted by the remote control device.

17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising updating a source name of the image providing apparatus based on the acquired apparatus information.

18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising transmitting a control code set corresponding to the acquired apparatus information to the remote control device.

19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
in response to a changed image not being received from the image providing apparatus after transmitting the control command a preset number of times, displaying a user interface (UI) regarding an adjustment of a direction of the remote control device.
