Abstract

A display device includes: a wireless communication unit configured to communicate to perform a screen mirroring function with a mobile terminal; a display unit configured to display a screen of the mobile terminal through the screen mirroring function; and a control unit configured to control the wireless communication unit and the display unit. If the mobile terminal receives a notification, while displaying a media content being played by the mobile terminal, the control unit displays a notification icon for representing that the notification is received.

Claims (32)

1. A display device comprising:

a user interface configured to communicate with a remote controller;

a wireless communication circuit configured to communicate to perform a screen mirroring function with a mobile terminal;

a display unit configured to display a screen of the mobile terminal through the screen mirroring function; and

a controller configured to control the wireless communication circuit and the display unit,

wherein when the mobile terminal receives a notification and displays an overlapped brief information of the notification, while the display unit is displaying a media content being played by the mobile terminal, the controller displays on the display unit a notification icon for representing that the notification is received,

wherein the controller is further configured to:

display on the display unit a content information of the notification overlapping the media content being played by the mobile terminal when the notification icon displayed on the display unit is selected, and

display the media content on a first area of the display unit and a content corresponding to the content information on a second area of the display unit when the content information displayed on the display unit is selected.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein if an instruction for selecting the notification icon is received, detail information of the notification is displayed to be overlapped with the media content.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller receives a first instruction for selecting content information included in detail information of the notification and displays a content corresponding to the content information on a screen of the display unit according to the received first instruction.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the controller transmits a second instruction for displaying the content to the mobile terminal according to the first instruction.

5. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the controller does not receive the media content from the mobile terminal according to the first instruction.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein if the notification is a call from the other party, the controller stops the playback of the media content according to an instruction for selecting the notification icon; and the controller outputs an audio output a voice of the call through an audio output unit included in the display device.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein if the mobile terminal receives the notification, while displaying a home screen of the mobile terminal, the controller displays notification information corresponding to the notification.

8. An operating method of a display device, the method comprising:

receiving information on a screen being displayed by a mobile terminal through a screen mirroring function;

displaying a media content being played by the mobile terminal on the basis of the received information; and

when the mobile terminal receives a notification and displays an overlapped brief information of the notification, while the display unit is displaying the media content, displaying a notification icon on the display device for representing that the notification is received,

wherein the operating method further comprises:

displaying on the display device a content information of the notification overlapping the media content being played by the mobile terminal when the notification icon displayed on the display device is selected; and

displaying the media content on a first area of the display device and a content corresponding to the content information on a second area of the display device when the content information display on the display device is selected.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein if an instruction for selecting the notification icon is received, detail information of the notification is displayed to be overlapped with the media content according to the received instruction.

10. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a first instruction for selecting content information included in detail information of the notification; and

displaying a content corresponding to the content information on a screen of the display device according to the received first instruction.

11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising transmitting a second instruction for displaying the content to the mobile terminal according to the first instruction.

12. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising not receiving the media content from the mobile terminal according to a first instruction.

13. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

if the notification is a call from the other party, stopping the playback of the media content according to an instruction for selecting the notification icon; and
