Abstract

A digital television includes: a display; a tuner; a wireless network interface to transmit data to a mobile terminal and receive audio information and screen; and a controller. The controller is configured to control a signal processor to decode the video signal and the screen information, control the display to display first image corresponding to the decoded video signal with second image corresponding to the decoded screen information, the second image corresponding to an image displayed on the mobile terminal, and receive a command from a remote controller. The controller is also configured to control the signal processor to process the audio signal and the audio information and to output the processed audio signal or the processed audio information to an audio output unit, and to control the signal processor to change the second image's size or position depending on the at least one command received from the remote controller.

Claims (40)

1 . A display device, comprising:

a display;

a wireless network interface configured to transmit data to a mobile terminal and to receive audio information and screen information from the mobile terminal wirelessly connected to the display device; and

a controller configured to:

control a signal processor to decode a video signal and the screen information,

control the display to display first image corresponding to the decoded video signal with second image corresponding to the decoded screen information, wherein the second image corresponds to an image displayed on the mobile terminal, and

receive at least one command from a remote controller,

wherein the controller is further configured to control the signal processor to process an audio signal and the audio information and to output the processed audio signal or the processed audio information to an audio output unit, and

wherein the controller is further configured to control the signal processor to change a size or position of the second image in response to the at least one command received from the remote controller.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the wireless network interface to transmit the at least one command received from the remote controller to the mobile terminal depending on coordinate information of a cursor.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second image is displayed with the first image in PIP (Picture-In-Picture) or POP (Picture-Out-Picture) form.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network interface is further configured to transmit a decoding method supported by the display device in response to receiving a request from the mobile terminal.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the audio information and the screen information are separately received from the mobile terminal or multiplexed information including the audio information and the screen information are received from the mobile terminal.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network interface performs based on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Zigbee.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a first wireless path between the display device and the remote controller is different from a second wireless path between the mobile terminal and the display device.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the signal processor to change a size of the first image according to a change of the size of the second image, and change a position of the first image according to a change of the position of the second image.

9 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the data includes information on a screen posture direction of the display.

10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second image is an image representing an execution screen of an application installed in the mobile terminal.

11 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a tuner configured to receive a broadcast signal including the video signal and the audio signal.

12 . An operating method of a display device, comprising:

receiving a broadcast signal including video data and first audio data;

transmitting data to a mobile terminal;

receiving second audio data and screen information from the mobile terminal wirelessly connected to the display device;

decoding the screen information and the video data;

displaying, a display of the display device, a first image based on the screen information with a second image based on the video data, wherein the first image corresponds to an image displayed on the mobile terminal;

outputting the first audio data included in the broadcast signal or the second audio data received from the mobile terminal to an audio output unit;

receiving at least one command from a remote controller; and

changing a size or position of the first image in response to the at least one command received from the remote controller.

13 . The operating method of claim 12 , further comprising:

transmitting the at least one command received from a wireless remote controller to the mobile terminal depending on coordinate information of a cursor.

14 . The operating method of claim 12 , wherein the first image and the second image are displayed based on PIP (Picture-In-Picture).

15 . The operating method of claim 12 , further comprising:

transmitting a decoding method supported by the display device in response to receiving a request from the mobile terminal.

16 . The operating method of claim 12 , wherein the second audio data and the screen information are separately received from the mobile terminal or multiplexed information including the second audio data and the screen information are received from the mobile terminal.

17 . The operating method of claim 12 , wherein a first wireless path between the display device and a wireless remote controller is different from a second wireless path between the mobile terminal and the display device.

18 . The operating method of claim 12 , further comprising:

changing the size of the first image according to a change of a size of the second image, and

changing the position of the first image according to a change of a position of the second image.

19 . The operating method of claim 12 , wherein the data includes information on a screen posture direction of the display.

20 . The operating method of claim 12 , wherein the second image is an image representing an execution screen of an application installed in the mobile terminal.
