Abstract

A display apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a power supply configured to supply power to the display apparatus using one of a battery or AC power and a controller configured to, in response to a mode of the display apparatus being a standby mode, control the power supply to supply power to standby power to the display apparatus using the battery. The display apparatus may reduce power consumption in a standby mode by half.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a power supply configured to supply power to the display apparatus using one of a battery and AC power; and
a controller configured to, in response to a mode of the display apparatus being a standby mode, control the power supply to supply power for standby power to the display apparatus using the battery,
wherein the controller is further configured to measure a battery level of the battery and if the battery level of the battery is less than a first threshold value and equal to or more than a second threshold value, control the power supply to supply the standby power to the display apparatus using the battery and the AC power alternately without recharging the battery.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller, in response to a mode of the display apparatus being a normal mode, controls the power supply to recharge the battery using the AC power.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the power supply further comprises:
a switch configured to switch the AC power and the battery,
wherein the controller controls the switch to use the battery and the AC power alternately.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller, in response to a battery level of the battery being less than a second threshold value, controls the power supply to supply standby power to the display apparatus using the AC power and to recharge the battery.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises:
a sub controller configured to be turned on and control the display apparatus while the display apparatus maintains a standby mode,
wherein the sub controller, in response to a mode of the display apparatus being a standby mode, determines a battery level of the battery.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a display,
wherein the controller, in response to the battery being recharged, controls the display to display a user interface (UI) to indicate that the battery is being recharged.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller, in response to the battery being recharged, controls to output an indicator indicating that the battery is being recharged.

8. A controlling method for a display apparatus, comprising:
determining a mode of a display apparatus including a battery;
measuring a battery level of the battery; and
in response to the mode being a standby mode, supplying standby power to the display apparatus using the battery,
wherein the supplying standby power comprises, if the battery level of the battery is less than a first threshold value and equal to or more than a second threshold value, supplying standby power to the display apparatus using the battery and the AC power alternately without recharging the battery.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to a mode of the display apparatus being a normal mode, recharging the battery using AC power.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the supplying standby power comprises using the battery and the AC power alternately by controlling a switch configured to switch the battery and the AC power.

11. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the supplying standby power comprises, in response to a battery level of the battery being less than a second threshold value, supplying standby power to the display apparatus using the AC power and recharging the battery.

12. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the measuring the battery level of the battery comprises determining the battery level of the battery by a sub controller configured to be turned on and control the display apparatus while the display apparatus maintains a standby mode.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:
in response to the battery being recharged, displaying a user interface (UI) to indicate that the battery is being recharged.

14. The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to the battery being recharged, outputting an indicator indicating that the battery is being recharged.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a controlling method for a display apparatus, the method comprising:
determining a mode of a display apparatus including a battery; and
measuring a battery level of the battery;
in response to the mode being a standby mode, supplying standby power to the display apparatus using the battery,
wherein the supplying standby power comprises, if the battery level of the battery is less than a first threshold value and equal to or more than a second threshold value, supplying standby power to the display apparatus using the battery and the AC power alternately without recharging the battery.
