Abstract

A display device and method for receiving a user input of the display device, are discussed. According to an embodiment, the method can include displaying a displayable content which includes at least one input box; receiving a control signal corresponding to a navigating input from a portable device, wherein the portable device is connected with the display device and the navigating input is for navigating the displayable content; transmitting the input box to the portable device, wherein the input box is displayed in the portable device when a user input for mode switching is detected by the portable device and the input box is extracted from the displayable content; and receiving a user input from the portable device wherein the user input is inputted in the transmitted input box.

Claims (33)

1. A method for receiving a user input of a display device, comprising:

displaying a displayable content which includes at least one input box;

receiving a control signal corresponding to a navigating input from a portable device, wherein the portable device is connected with the display device and the navigating input is for navigating the displayable content;

transmitting the input box to the portable device, wherein the input box is displayed in the portable device when a mode switching input is detected by the portable device and the input box is extracted from the displayable content; and

receiving a user input from the portable device wherein the user input is inputted in the transmitted input box,

wherein the input box is sequentially displayed in the portable device corresponding to priority and the priority of each input box depends on the position of the input box in the displayable content.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input box is extracted from the displayed area of the displayable content.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the input box is further extracted from a non-displayed area of the displayable content.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input box is extracted with a title of the input box.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a location of a pointer, wherein the input box is extracted after detecting the pointer moved to the displayed input box.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display device includes a television, a monitor, or a projector.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display device is connected with the portable device using a wireless network.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displayable content includes a webpage, a video content, a multimedia content, or an internet content.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input box includes a username input box, a password input box, or a search input box.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mode switching input changes the portable device to a user input mode.

11. A display device for receiving a user input, the display device comprising:

a display unit configured to display a displayable content which includes at least one input box;

a communications unit configured to communicate with a portable device; and

a controller in control of the above units, and configured to perform actions including:

receiving a control signal corresponding to a navigating input from the portable device, wherein the navigating input is for navigating the displayable content;

transmitting the input box to the portable device, wherein the input box is displayed in the portable device when a mode switching input is detected by the portable device and the input box is extracted from the displayable content; and

receiving a user input from the portable device wherein the user input is inputted in the transmitted input box,

wherein the input box is sequentially displayed in the portable device corresponding to priority and the priority of each input box depends on the position of the input box in the displayable content.

12. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the input box is extracted from the displayed area of the displayable content.

13. The display device of claim 12 , wherein the input box is further extracted from a non-displayed area of the displayable content.

14. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the input box is extracted with a title of the input box.

15. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to detect a location of a pointer and the input box is extracted after detecting the pointer moved to the displayed input box.

16. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the display device includes a television, a monitor, or a projector.

17. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the display device is connected with the portable device using a wireless network.

18. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the displayable content includes a webpage, a video content, a multimedia content, or an internet content.

19. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the input box includes a username input box, a password input box, or a search input box.

20. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the mode switching input changes the portable device to a user input mode.
