Method for delivering user input, and device using same
Provided is a method of delivering a user input received from a Human Interface Device (HID) to a source device by a sink device. The method includes: receiving the user input from the HID; generating HID user input information including a first field that represents a type of the HID, a second field that represents an interface type of the HID, and a third field that includes the user input received from the HID; and transmitting the configured HID user input information to the source device.
1. A method for a sink device to control a source device based on user input information, the method comprising:
receiving, by the sink device, the user input information;
delivering, by the sink device to the source device through a user input back channel established between the sink device and the source device, a user input information frame representing the received user input information;
wherein the user input information is one of a first category and a second category,
wherein the user input information of the first category is formatted within the user input information frame by conversion of the received user input information to converted information based on a specific user interface coordination, and
wherein the user input information of the second category is formatted within the user input information frame by including the received user input information as generated by a Human Interface Device (HID) in one of fields of the user input information frame.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sink device includes the received user input information of the second category without conversion based on the specific user interface coordination in one of fields of the user input information frame.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving multimedia contents from the source device; and
rendering the received multimedia contents.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input information frame with the user input information of the second category comprises:
a first field that represents a type of the HID,
a second field that represents an interface type of the HID, and
a third field that includes the user input information received from the HID.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first field has a value corresponding to one of a keyboard, a mouse, a touch device, and a joystick.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second field has a value corresponding one of infrared, USB, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi.
7. A sink device controlling a source device based on user input information, the sink device comprising:
an interface unit receiving the user input information; and
a control unit controlling the interface unit to deliver a user input information frame representing the user input information to the source device through a user input back channel established between the sink device and the source device;
wherein the user input information is one of a first category and a second category,
wherein the control unit formats the user input information of the first category within the user input information frame by conversion of the received user input information to converted information based on a specific user interface coordination, and
wherein the control units formats the user input information of the second category within the user input information frame by including the received user input information as generated by a Human Interface Device (HID) in one of fields of the user input information frame.
8. The sink device of claim 7 , wherein the control units includes the received user input information of the second category without conversion based on the specific user interface coordination in one of fields of the user input information frame.
9. The sink device of claim 7 , wherein the sink device receives multimedia contents from the source device; and renders the received multimedia contents.
10. The sink device of claim 7 , wherein the user input information frame with the user input information of the second category comprises:
a first field that represents a type of the HID,
a second field that represents an interface type of the HID, and
a third field that includes the user input information received from the HID.
11. The sink device of claim 10 , wherein the first field has a value corresponding to one of a keyboard, a mouse, a touch device, and a joystick.
12. The sink device of claim 10 , wherein the second field has a value corresponding one of infrared, USB, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi.
