Method for controlling video system including a plurality of display apparatuses
A method for controlling a video system wherein the nearest display apparatus is selected by detecting a distance to each of a plurality of display apparatuses and information regarding the nearest display apparatus is transmitted to another video apparatus allowing a user apparatus to select the nearest display apparatus without additional input.
1. A method for controlling content reproduction in a user apparatus, the method comprising:
displaying a content;
in response to a user command being input, detecting a distance between each of a plurality of display apparatuses and the user apparatus based on an intensity of a signal received from each of the plurality of display apparatuses;
identifying a display apparatus which is closest to the user apparatus among the plurality of display apparatuses, based on the detected distances; and
in response to identifying the closest display apparatus, transmitting information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and control information for reproducing the content to the identified closest display apparatus.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user apparatus is communicably connected to the plurality of display apparatuses through a video apparatus.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein transmitting the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content comprises:
generating a transmission command to transmit the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content to the display apparatus; and
transmitting the transmission command and information regarding the display apparatus to the video apparatus.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising controlling, through the video apparatus, the display apparatus to reproduce the content being displayed in the user apparatus using the information regarding content being displayed in the user apparatus, the control information for reproducing the content, and the information regarding the display apparatus according to the transmission command.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein transmitting the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content further comprises
transmitting, through the video apparatus, the content being displayed in the user apparatus to the display apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content using the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the information regarding the display apparatus.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein controlling the display apparatus to reproduce the content being displayed in the user apparatus comprises controlling, through the video apparatus, the display apparatus to change a broadcast channel of the display apparatus to a broadcast channel of the user apparatus using the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus, the control information for reproducing the content, and the information regarding the display apparatus.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a specific input is entered by a user, commanding the user apparatus to detect the distance to each of the plurality of display apparatuses.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising controlling the display apparatus to reproduce the content being displayed in the user apparatus using the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content.
9. A video system, comprising:
a user apparatus configured to display a content; and
a plurality of display apparatuses,
wherein the user apparatus is configured to, in response to a user command being input, detect a distance between each of the plurality of display apparatuses and the user apparatus based on an intensity of a signal received from each of the plurality of display apparatuses, identify a display apparatus which is closest to the user apparatus among the plurality of display apparatuses, based on the detected distances, and in response to identifying the closest display apparatus, transmits information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content to the identified closest display apparatus.
10. The video system of claim 9 , further comprising a video apparatus communicably connected to the user apparatus and the plurality of display apparatuses.
11. The video system of claim 10 , wherein the user apparatus generates a transmission command to transmit the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus and the control information for reproducing the content to the display apparatus and transmits, to the video apparatus, the transmission command, the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus, the control information for reproducing the content, and information regarding the display apparatus.
12. The video system of claim 11 , wherein the video apparatus controls the display apparatus to reproduce the content being displayed in the user apparatus using the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus, the control information for reproducing the content, and the information regarding the display apparatus according to the transmission command.
13. The video system of claim 12 , wherein the video apparatus transmits the content being displayed in the user apparatus to the display apparatus using the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus, the control information for reproducing the content, and the information regarding the display apparatus.
14. The video system of claim 12 , wherein the video apparatus changes a broadcast channel of the display apparatus to a broadcast channel of the user apparatus using the information regarding the content being displayed in the user apparatus, the control information for reproducing the content, and the information regarding the display apparatus.
