Display device and operation method therefor

1. A method of operating a display device, the method comprising:

displaying a first content on a first screen of the display device;

receiving, from a remote controller, a screen link request for linking the first screen of the display device to a second screen of a second display device;

determining a location of a pointer controlled by the remote controller by:

obtaining coordinate values of a real region corresponding to the first screen and a virtual region obtained based on a size information of the second screen, wherein the coordinate values includes at least a maximum X coordinate value of the real region,

determining that the pointer is located outside the real region,

determining a movement distance of the remote controller,

obtaining a virtual coordinate value of the pointer using a coordinate value corresponding to the movement distance of the remote controller, and

obtaining a final coordinate value by subtracting the maximum X coordinate value from the obtained virtual coordinate value, wherein the location of the pointer is determined based on the obtained final coordinate value; and

transmitting, to the second display device, a content switching request when the pointer is located on the first screen, wherein the content switching request is for switching second content displayed on the second display device to a remaining image of the first content according to the received screen link request.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a partial image of the first content is displayed on the first screen.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting device information of the display device to second display device and receiving device information of the second display device from the second display device based on the display device being connected to the second display device,

wherein the device information includes at least one of identification of each display device, specification of each display device, or channel information.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the device information includes resolution information of each display device, and

the first content is output in a resolution matching a lower resolution of the display device or the second display device.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the device information includes size information of each display device, and

the first content is output in a size matching a smaller size of the display device or the second display device.

6. A display device comprising:

a display unit configured to display a first content on a first screen of the display device; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a remote controller, a screen link request for linking the first screen of the display unit to a second screen of a second display unit provided in a second display device;

determine a location of a pointer controlled by the remote controller by:

obtaining coordinate values of a real region corresponding to the first screen and a virtual region obtained based on a size information of the second screen, wherein the coordinate values includes at least a maximum X coordinate value of the real region,

determining that the pointer is located outside the real region,

determining a movement distance of the remote controller,

obtaining a virtual coordinate value of the pointer using a coordinate value corresponding to the movement distance of the remote controller, and

obtaining a final coordinate value by subtracting the maximum X coordinate value from the obtained virtual coordinate value, wherein the location of the pointer is determined based on the obtained final coordinate value; and

transmit, to the second display device, a content switching request when the pointer is located on the first screen, wherein the content switching request is for switching second content displayed on the second display device to a remaining image of the first content according to the received screen link request.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein a partial image of the first content is displayed on the first screen.

8. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit device information of the display device to the second display device and receive device information of the second display device from the second display device based on the display device being connected to the second display device,

wherein the device information includes at least one of identification of each display device, specification of each display device, or channel information.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the device information includes resolution information of each display device, and

the first content is output in a resolution matching a lower resolution of the display device or the second display device.

10. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the device information includes size information of each display device, and

the first content is output in a size matching a lower size of the display device or the second display device.

11. A display system comprising:

a first display device configured to display a first content on a first screen of a display device; and

a second display device connected to the first display device and configured to display a second content on a second screen of a second display device,

a controller included in the first display device is configured to:

receive, from a remote controller, a screen link request for linking the first screen of the display device to a second screen of the second display device,

determine a location of a pointer controlled by the remote controller by:

obtaining coordinate values of a real region corresponding to the first screen and a virtual region obtained based on a size information of the second screen, wherein the coordinate values includes at least a maximum X coordinate value of the real region,

determining that the pointer is located outside the real region,

determining a movement distance of the remote controller,

obtaining a virtual coordinate value of the pointer using a coordinate value corresponding to the movement distance of the remote controller, and

obtaining a final coordinate value by subtracting the maximum X coordinate value from the obtained virtual coordinate value, wherein the location of the pointer is determined based on the obtained final coordinate value, and

transmit, to the second display device, a content switching request when the pointer is located on the first screen, wherein the content switching request is for switching second content displayed on the second display device to a remaining image of the first content according to the received screen link request.

12. The display system according to claim 11 , wherein each of the first display device and the second display device acquires a same content through a radio frequency (RF) distributor for receiving an RF signal or a high definition interface (HDMI) distributor.

13. The display system according to claim 11 , wherein the first display device receives the first content from a content provider server and transmits the first content to the first display device and the second display device in a multicast manner.

14. The display system according to claim 11 ,

wherein the first display device and the second display device share resolution information thereof with each other, and

wherein, when resolution of the first display device is different from that of the second display device, the first content is output in a resolution matching a resolution of the display having lower resolution.

15. The display system according to claim 14 ,

wherein the first display device and the second display device share size information thereof with each other, and

wherein, when a size of the first display device is different from that of the second display device, the first content is output in a size matching a resolution of the display having a smaller size.
