Abstract

A display apparatus and a display method are provided. The display apparatus includes a communicator configured to receive a pre-power on command signal from an external device, and a controller configured to activate a network communication function of the display apparatus based on the pre-power on command signal. The communicator is further configured to receive information of content from the external device, in response to the controller activating the network communication function, and the controller is further configured to reproduce the content based on the information of the content.

Claims (45)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a communicator configured to receive a pre-power on command signal from an external device; and

a controller configured to activate a network communication function of the display apparatus, and control to maintain an off state of an outputting function of the display apparatus with respect to video and audio data, in response to the pre-power on command signal being received,

wherein the communicator is further configured to receive information of content from the external device after the network communication function is activated, and

the controller is further configured to:

activate the outputting function of the display apparatus in response to the information of the content being received; and

reproduce the content, based on the information of the content, using the activated outputting function.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

obtain the content based on the information of the content; and

output video and audio data of the obtained content.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the information of the content comprises at least one among information of an application providing the content, information of a universal resource locator via which the content is obtained, and information of a channel via which the content is provided.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the information of the content is the information of the application providing the content, and

the controller is further configured to:

determine whether the application is installed based on the information of the application; and

obtain the content via the application, in response to the controller determining that the application is installed.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to obtain an installation program of the application, in response to the controller determining that the application is not installed.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to turn off a power supply of the display apparatus, in response to the communicator not receiving the information of the content during a period of time after the communicator receives the pre-power on command signal.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pre-power on command signal is generated in the external device based on a user motion input with respect to the external device.

8. A control device comprising:

a communicator configured to transmit, to an external display apparatus, a pre-power on command signal directing an activation of a network communication function of the external display apparatus with an outputting function of the display apparatus with respect to video and audio data being in an off state;

a display configured to display a user interface for selecting content; and

a controller configured to control the communicator to transmit information of the selected content to the external display apparatus, based on a user input of selecting the content via the user interface to activate the outputting function of the display apparatus for reproducing the content.

9. A method of displaying content, the method being performed by a display apparatus, and the method comprising:

receiving a pre-power on command signal from an external device;

activating a network communication function of the display apparatus, and maintaining an off state of an outputting function of the display apparatus with respect to video and audio data, in response to the pre-power on command signal being received;

receiving information of the content from the external device after the network communication function is activated;

activating the outputting function of the display apparatus in response to the information of the content being received; and

reproducing the content, based on the information of the content, using the activated outputting function.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the reproducing further comprises:

obtaining the content based on the information of the content; and

outputting video and audio data of the obtained content.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information of the content comprises at least one among information of an application providing the content, information of a universal resource locator via which the content is obtained, and information of a channel via which the content is provided.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information of the content is the information of an application providing the content, and

the obtaining comprises:

determining whether the application is installed based on the information of the application; and

obtaining the content via the application, in response to the determining that the application is installed.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the obtaining the content based on the information of the content further comprises obtaining an installation program of the application, in response to the determining that the application is not installed.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising turning off a power supply of the display apparatus, in response to not receiving the information of the content during a period of time after the receiving the pre-power on command signal.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the pre-power on command signal is generated in the external device based on a user motion input with respect to the external device.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to perform the method of claim 9 .

17. A method of controlling an external display apparatus, the method being performed by a control device, and the method comprising:

transmitting, to the external display apparatus, a pre-power on command signal directing an activation of a network communication function of the external display apparatus with an outputting function of the display apparatus with respect to video and audio data being in an off state;

displaying a user interface for selecting content; and

transmitting information of the selected content to the external display apparatus, based on a user input of selecting the content via the user interface to activate the outputting function of the display apparatus for reproducing the content.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to perform the method of claim 17 .
