Abstract

A display apparatus, including: a display; a communicator; at least one processor; and a memory configured to store one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the display apparatus to: transmit, to an electronic device, a request for remote connection for receiving content; receive, from the electronic device, information about a protocol determined based on a type of the content; arrange a pipeline configured to process the content, based on the information about the protocol; and output, using the pipeline, the content received from the electronic device according to the protocol.

Claims (65)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a communicator;

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the display apparatus to:

transmit, to an electronic device, a request for remote connection for receiving content;

receive, from the electronic device, information about a protocol determined based on a type of the content;

arrange a pipeline configured to process the content, based on the information about the protocol; and

output, using the pipeline, the content received from the electronic device according to the protocol.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

determine whether to change the protocol, based on an output screen corresponding to the content; and

based on determining to change the protocol, transmit a request for changing the protocol to the electronic device.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

receive content of a first type according to a first protocol, based on the information about the protocol received from the electronic device indicating the first protocol; and

receive content of a second type according to a second protocol different from the first protocol, based on the information about the protocol indicating the second protocol.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the content of the first type comprises video content, and the content of the second type comprises document content.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

arrange a first pipeline comprising a decoder, based on the information about the protocol receiving from the electronic device indicating the first protocol; and

arrange a second pipeline which does not include the decoder, based on the information about the second protocol received from the electronic device indicating the second protocol.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

determine, using a first process, a state of an output screen based on the content being received according to the first protocol; and

determine, using a second process different from the first process, the state of the output screen based on the content being received according to the second protocol.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

determine a text resolution of the content received from the electronic device according to the first protocol; and

transmit, to the electronic device, a request for changing to the second protocol, based on determining that the text resolution is less than a threshold value.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

determine an amount of change of an image of the content received from the electronic device according to the second protocol; and

transmit, to the electronic device, a request for changing to the first protocol, based on determining that the amount of change of the image is greater than a threshold value.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

receive, from the electronic device, the information about the protocol based on a type of a piece of content having a largest area on an output screen of the electronic device from among a plurality of pieces of content.

10 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

provide a user interface for asking whether to change the protocol, based on determining that the determined protocol of the display apparatus is non-suitable.

11 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the display apparatus to:

process, using the pipeline, image data received from the electronic device through a remote desktop protocol; and

playback, using the pipeline, video data received from the electronic device through a streaming protocol.

12 . An electronic device comprising:

a communicator;

at least one processor; and

a memory configured to store one or more instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:

receive a request for remote connection from a display apparatus;

determine a protocol based on a type of content to be transmitted to the display apparatus;

transmit information about the determined protocol to the display apparatus; and

based on receiving a request for the content from the display apparatus, transmit the content to the display apparatus according to the protocol.

13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the electronic device to change the protocol based on receiving a request for changing the protocol from the display apparatus.

14 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the electronic device to:

transmit information about a first protocol to the display apparatus, based on determining that the content is content of a first type; and

transmit information about a second protocol different from the first protocol to the display apparatus, based on determining that the content is content of a second type.

15 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the content of the first type comprises video content, and the content of the second type comprises document content.

16 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the electronic device to:

identify a piece of content having a largest area on an output screen of the electronic device from among a plurality of pieces of content to be transmitted; and

transmit the information about the protocol corresponding to a type of the identified piece of content.

17 . An operating method of a display apparatus, the operating method comprising:

transmitting, to an electronic device, a request for remote connection for receiving content;

receiving, from the electronic device, information about a protocol determined based on a type of the content;

arranging a pipeline for processing the content, based on the information about the protocol; and

outputting, using the pipeline, the content received from the electronic device according to the protocol.

18 . The operating method of claim 17 , further comprising:

determining whether to change the protocol, based on an output screen corresponding to the content; and

based on determining to change the protocol, transmitting, to the electronic device, a request for changing the protocol.

19 . The operating method of claim 17 , wherein the receiving, from the electronic device, of the information about the protocol determined based on the type of the content comprises:

receiving content of a first type according to a first protocol, based on the information about the protocol received from the electronic device indicating the first protocol; and

receiving content of a second type according to a second protocol different from the first protocol, based on the information about the protocol received from the electronic device indicating the second protocol.

20 . The operating method of claim 19 , wherein the arranging of the pipeline for processing the content, based on the information about the protocol, comprises:

arranging a first pipeline comprising a decoder, based the information about the protocol received from the electronic device indicating the first protocol; and

arranging a second pipeline not including the decoder, based on the information about the protocol received from the electronic device indicating the second protocol.
