Display, apparatus with single RF transceiver for communication with human input device and for WLAN network access

1. A display system comprising:

a display apparatus equipped with a wireless communication function; and

a human input device connected with the display apparatus to transmit user input data to the display apparatus,

wherein the display apparatus allocates a communication channel dedicated for communication with the human input device among a plurality of communication channels, and receives the user input data through the allocated dedicated communication channel,

wherein the display apparatus is configured to communicate with the human input device and access an access point by using a single wireless LAN module, and

wherein the single wireless LAN module is configured to communicate only with the human input device through the allocated dedicated communication channel and connect with the access point through remaining communication channels other than the allocated dedicated communication channel.

2. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus fixes the allocated dedicated communication channel as a communication channel for the communication of the connected human input device, and restricts any other network device from connecting to the dedicated communication channel.

3. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus applies the received user input data to keyboard interrupt if the user input data are received through the allocated dedicated communication channel.

4. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus operates as a station when using another communication channel other than the dedicated communication channel to attempt to access an access point (AP).

5. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus searches for the human input device located around the display apparatus, performs concurrent connection with the searched human input device, and establishes a communication channel connected with the human input device through the concurrent connection as the dedicated communication channel.

6. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the user input data are transmitted to the display apparatus through the allocated dedicated communication channel.

7. A display apparatus comprising:

a wireless LAN module connected with a human input device through a first communication channel, and accessing an access point (AP) through a second communication channel to make data communication; and

a control unit allocating the first communication channel, which is selected from among a plurality of communication channels used in the wireless LAN module, as the dedicated communication channel for the connection with the human input device, and performing a control operation allowing the access to the access point (AP) through the second communication channel other than the first communication channel,

wherein the control unit is configured to communicate with the human input device and access the AP by using a single wireless LAN module, and

wherein the single wireless LAN module is configured to communicate only with the human input device through the allocated dedicated communication channel and connect with the access point through remaining communication channels other than the allocated dedicated communication channel.

8. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the control unit fixes the allocated dedicated communication channel as a communication channel for communication with the connected human input device if the dedicated communication channel for the connection with the human input device is allocated, and restricts any other network device from connecting to the dedicated communication channel.

9. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein, if data are received through the allocated dedicated communication channel, the control unit applies the received data to keyboard interrupt.

10. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the control unit searches for the human input device located around the wireless LAN module, and performs concurrent connection with the searched human input device.

11. The display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein user input data input to the human input device are transmitted to the wireless LAN module through the allocated dedicated communication channel.

12. A data communication method of a display apparatus, the method comprising:

searching for a peripheral human input device;

connecting with the human input device by allocating a communication channel for communication with the searched human input device;

fixing the allocated communication channel as a dedicated communication channel for communication with the connected human input device; and

receiving transmission data from the human input device through the dedicated communication channel,

wherein the display apparatus is configured to communicate with the human input device and access an access point by using a single wireless LAN module, and

wherein the single wireless LAN module is configured to communicate only with the human input device through the allocated dedicated communication channel and connect with the access point through remaining communication channels other than the allocated dedicated communication channel.

13. The data communication method of claim 12 , wherein any other network device other than the human input device is restricted from connecting to the dedicated communication channel if the dedicated communication channel is fixed.

14. The data communication method of claim 12 , further comprising applying the received data to keyboard interrupt if the transmission data are received from the human input device through the dedicated communication channel.

15. The data communication method of claim 12 , further comprising attempting to access an access point (AP) through another communication channel other than the dedicated communication channel.
