Abstract

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a communicator configured to communicate with an external device, a touch screen, and a processor configured to, in response to a preset event occurring in a standby mode, control the touch screen to receive a handwriting input of a user, and in response to the handwriting input of the user to control an external device being received through the touch screen, control the communicator to transmit a control command corresponding to the handwriting input to the external device.

Claims (35)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a communicator configured to communicate with an external device;

a sensor configured to sense detachment and attachment of a pen with the display apparatus;

a touch screen; and

a processor configured to:

when the detachment of the pen is sensed through the sensor while in a standby mode in which the touch screen is blocked, control the touch screen to receive a handwriting input of a user,

in automatic response to receiving the handwriting input of the user, control the touch screen to display the handwriting input of the user on the touch screen,

when the handwriting input including a first word indicative of an external device and a second word indicative of a control command for controlling a function of the external device is received through the touch screen, determine the external device corresponding to the first word and the control command corresponding to the second word, and

in automatic response to sensing the attachment of the pen through the sensor after receiving the handwriting input, control the communicator to transmit, to the external device, the control command for execution at the external device.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , comprising:

a push type button,

wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a predetermined operation regarding the push type button being input while in the standby mode, control the touch screen to receive the handwriting input of the user.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the touch screen comprises a touch panel configured to receive a touch input and a display, and

wherein the standby mode is a mode in which, in response to a user command to enter the standby mode being input or a user command not being input for a preset time, the display apparatus operates in a state of power of at least a part of the touch panel and the display being blocked.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display of the handwriting input of the user on the touch screen is configured to provide visual confirmation of the control command.

5. A controlling method of a display apparatus comprising a touch screen, the method comprising:

entering a standby mode by the display apparatus;

when detachment of a pen is sensed through a sensor while in a standby mode in which the touch screen is blocked, controlling the touch screen to receive a handwriting input of a user;

in automatic response to receiving the handwriting input of the user, controlling the touch screen to display the handwriting input of the user on the touch screen;

when the handwriting input including a first word indicative of an external device and a second word indicative of a control command for controlling a function of the external device is received through the touch screen, determining the external device corresponding to the first word and the control command corresponding to the second word; and

in automatic response to sensing attachment of the pen through the sensor after receiving the handwriting input, transmitting to the external device the control command for execution at the external device.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the display apparatus further comprises a push type button, and

wherein the method further comprises, in response to a predetermined operation regarding the push type button being input while in the standby mode, controlling the touch screen to receive the handwriting input of the user.

7. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the touch screen further comprises a touch panel configured to receive a touch input and a display, and

wherein the standby mode is a mode in which, in response to a user command to enter the standby mode being input or a user command not being input for a preset time, the display apparatus operates in a state of power of at least a part of the touch panel and the display being blocked.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the displaying of the handwriting input of the user on the touch screen is configured to provide visual confirmation of the control command.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recordable medium including a program to execute a controlling method of a display apparatus including a touch screen, wherein the method comprises:

entering a standby mode by the display apparatus;

when detachment of a pen is sensed through a sensor while in a standby mode in which the touch screen is blocked, controlling the touch screen to receive a handwriting input of a user;

in automatic response to receiving the handwriting input of the user, controlling the touch screen to display the handwriting input of the user on the touch screen;

when the handwriting input including a first word indicative of an external device and a second word indicative of a control command for controlling a function of the external device is received through the touch screen, determining the external device corresponding to the first word and the control command corresponding to the second word; and

in automatic response to sensing attachment of the pen through the sensor after receiving the handwriting input, transmitting to the external device the control command for execution at the external device.
