Device information communication method, video display device, and video display system

1. A device information communication method applied to a video display device, comprising:

obtaining device information on a device being connected to the video display device;

controlling an outgoing call to a communication partner and an incoming call from the communication partner; and

sending the device information to the communication partner.

2. The device information communication method of claim 1 , wherein the sending includes sending the device information to the communication partner when an outgoing call is made to the communication partner.

3. The device information communication method of claim 1 , wherein

the obtaining includes obtaining, if there is a change in the device information during a call with the communication partner, changed device information, and

the sending includes sending the changed device information to the communication partner during the call with the communication partner.

4. The device information communication method of claim 1 , further comprising initializing the device being connected to the video display device, wherein

the obtaining includes obtaining the device information at time of the initializing.

5. The device information communication method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes distinguishing between a device that can be used by a plurality of users and a device for personal use to obtain the device information.

6. The device information communication method of claim 1 , wherein the device information is setting information of the device.

7. A video display device comprising:

an obtaining module configured to obtain device information on a device being connected to the video display device; and

a communication controller configured to control an outgoing call to a communication partner and an incoming call from the communication partner, and to send the device information to the communication partner.

8. The video display device of claim 7 , wherein the communication controller is configured to send the device information to the communication partner when an outgoing call is made to the communication partner.

9. The video display device of claim 7 , wherein

the obtaining module is configured to obtain, if there is a change in the device information during a call with the communication partner, changed device information, and

the communication controller is configured to send the changed device information to the communication partner during the call with the communication partner.

10. The video display device of claim 7 , further comprising an initialization module configured to initialize the device being connected to the video display device, wherein

the obtaining module is configured to obtain the device information when the initialization module initializes the device.

11. The video display device of claim 7 , wherein the obtaining module is configured to distinguish between a device that can be used by a plurality of users and a device for personal use to obtain the device information.

12. The video display device of claim 7 , wherein the device information is setting information of the device.

13. A video display system comprising:

a video display device; and

an information processor connected to the video display device, wherein

the video display device comprising

an obtaining module configured to obtain device information on a device being connected to the video display device, and

a communication controller configured to control an outgoing call to the information processor as a communication partner and an incoming call from the information processor, and to send the device information to the communication partner, and

the information processor comprising

a receiver configured to receive the device information, and

a display module configured to display an icon corresponding to the device information to indicate a status of a caller.
