Abstract

A display apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with another display apparatus, a display configured to display contents being shared with the other display apparatus and a video call user interface (UI) for a video call with a user of the other display apparatus, and a processor, in response to at least one of a gesture and a voice of the user included in video call data received from the other display apparatus satisfying a predetermined condition, configured to control the display to change a size of the video call UI displayed on the display.

Claims (39)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate with another display apparatus;

a display; and

a processor configured to:

control the communication interface to receive a content that is shared with the other display apparatus and to receive voice call data including a voice of a user of the other display apparatus,

control the display to display the content together with a video call user interface (UI) for a video call with the user, and

control the display to change a display size of a video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI based on a time at which the voice call data is including an audible voice above a defined level of the user is received.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a volume level of the voice of the user being greater than a predetermined amount, control the display to enlarge the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a volume level of the voice of the user being greater than a predetermined amount, control the display to enlarge the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI and reduce a display size of the content.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video call UI and the content are at least partially overlapped.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the video call UI and the content are simultaneously displayed in at least some different areas.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to replace the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI with a predetermined image.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a user gesture included in the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI satisfying a predetermined condition, control the display to change the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI.

8. A control method of a display apparatus, the control method comprising:

receiving a content that is shared with another display apparatus and receiving voice call data including a voice of a user of the other display apparatus;

displaying the content together with a video call user interface (UI) for a video call with the user of the other display apparatus; and

changing a display size of a video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI based on a time at which the voice call data including an audible voice above a defined level of the user is received.

9. The control method of claim 8 , wherein the changing comprises, based on a volume level of the voice of the user being greater than a predetermined amount, enlarging the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI.

10. The control method of claim 8 , wherein the changing comprises, based on a volume level of the voice of the user being greater than a predetermined amount, enlarging the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI and reducing a display size of the content.

11. The control method of claim 8 , wherein the video call UI and the content are at least partially overlapped.

12. The control method of claim 8 , wherein the video call UI and the content are simultaneously displayed in at least some different areas.

13. The control method of claim 8 , further comprising:

replacing the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI with a predetermined image.

14. The control method of claim 8 , wherein the changing comprises, based on a user gesture included in the video the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI satisfying a predetermined condition, changing the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI.

15. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a volume level of the voice of the user being less than a predetermined level for longer than a predetermined time, control the display to remove the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI.

16. The control method of claim 8 , wherein the changing comprises, based on a volume level of the voice of the user being less than a predetermined level for longer than a predetermined time, removing the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI.

17. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, determine the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI based on a volume level of the voice of the user.

18. The display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the volume level of the voice of the user being smaller than a first volume level, control the display to display the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI at a first size,

based on the volume level of the voice of the user being greater than the first volume level and smaller than a second volume level greater than the first volume level, control the display to display the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI at a second size larger than the first size, and

based on the volume level of the voice of the user being greater than the second volume level, control the display to display the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI at a third size larger than the second size.

19. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the volume level of the voice of the user being greater than the predetermined amount, control the display to enlarge the display size of the video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI and reduce a display size of the content.

20. A display apparatus comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate with another display apparatus;

a display; and

a processor configured to:

control the communication interface to receive a content that is shared with the other display apparatus and to receive voice call data,

perform filtering on the voice call data to remove sound that is not related to a user voice and extract data related to a voice of a user of the other display apparatus,

control the display to display the content together with a video call user interface (UI) for a video call with the user, and

control the display to change a display size of a video of the user of the other display apparatus included in the video call UI based on a time at which the data related to an audible voice above a defined level of the user is received.
