Abstract

A first wireless device that supports a Wi-Fi direct service includes: a display unit configured to display an entire image of content being displayed by a second wireless device; a communication unit configured to perform a connection setup with the second wireless device; and a processor configured to control the display unit and the communication unit. The processor receives a zoom-in request signal for zooming in a partial image included in the entire image and receives data of the entire image and data of a zoomed-in partial image corresponding to the partial image from the second wireless device based on the zoom-in request signal.

Claims (43)

1. A display device comprising:

a display configured to display information;

a hardware communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with an external device; and

a processor configured to:

control the display to display a letterbox adjacent to a content image being displayed at the external device, the content image received from the external device via the hardware communication unit;

receive a zoom-in signal for zooming-in to a partial region of the displayed content image;

transmit a zoom-in request message to the external device;

according to the transmitted zoom-in request message receive the entire content image and a zoomed-in image corresponding to the partial region from the external device via the hardware communication unit; and

display the entire image at a region where the letterbox was displayed and display the zoomed-in image on a remaining region of the display.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to concurrently display the entire content image at a first region of the display and the zoomed-in image at a second region of the display.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to control the display to display a pointer corresponding to a remote control device; and

the zoom-in signal is a signal for zooming-in to the partial region corresponding to a location of the pointer within the displayed content image.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the zoom-in request message comprises location information of the partial region.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the location information of the partial region includes coordinates of the pointer within the content image and coordinates of the partial region.

6. The display device of claim 2 , wherein when the content image is displayed at the external device in a portrait orientation:

the content image is displayed on the display in a letterboxed format wherein a first letterbox is displayed at a left side of the displayed content image and a second letterbox is displayed at a right side of the displayed content image; and

the first region corresponds to a location where the first letterbox was displayed and the second region corresponds to a remainder area of the display other than the first region.

7. The display device of claim 2 , wherein when the content image is displayed at the external device in a landscape orientation, the second region corresponds to an entire area of the display and the first region corresponds to a windowed area within the second region.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a different zoomed-in image at the second region to correspond to movement of a pointer corresponding to a remote control device, wherein the pointer is displayed and moved within the entire content image displayed at the first region.

9. A system for wirelessly displaying content, the system comprising:

a first display device configured to:

display a letterbox adjacent to a content image being displayed at a second display device of the system;

receive a zoom-in signal for zooming-in to a partial region of the displayed content image;

transmit a zoom-in request message to the second display device;

receive the entire content image and a zoomed-in image corresponding to the partial region from the second display device in response to the transmitted zoom-in request message; and

display the entire image at a region where the letterbox was displayed and display the zoomed-in image on a remaining region of the display,

wherein the second display device is configured to:

display the content image;

receive the zoom-in request message from the first display device;

transmit the entire content image and the zoomed-in image to the first display device in response to the zoom-in request message.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first display device is further configured to concurrently display the entire content image at a first region of a display of the first display device and the zoomed-in image at a second region of the display of the first display device.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein:

the first display device is further configured to display a pointer corresponding to a remote control device; and

the zoom-in signal is a signal for zooming-in to the partial region corresponding to a location of the pointer within the displayed content image at the first display device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the zoom-in request message comprises location information of the partial region; and

the second display device is further configured to obtain data of the partial image based on the location information.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the location information of the partial region includes coordinates of the pointer within the content image and coordinates of the partial region.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein when the content image is displayed at the second display device in a portrait orientation:

the content image is displayed at the first display device in a letterboxed format wherein a first letterbox is displayed at a left side of the displayed content image and a second letterbox is displayed at a right side of the displayed content image; and

the first region corresponds to a location where the first letterbox was displayed and the second region corresponds to a remainder area of the display of the first display device other than the first region.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein when the content image is displayed at the second display device in a landscape orientation, the second region corresponds to an entire area of the display of the first display device and the first region corresponds to a windowed area within the second region.
