Abstract

A display apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with another display apparatus, a display configured to display contents being shared with the other display apparatus and a video call user interface (UI) for a video call with a user of the other display apparatus, and a processor, in response to at least one of a gesture and a voice of the user included in video call data received from the other display apparatus satisfying a predetermined condition, configured to control the display to change a size of the video call UI displayed on the display.

Claims (34)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate with another display apparatus;

a display;

a user interface; and

a processor configured to:

receive audio data including a voice of a user of the another display apparatus through the communication interface,

control the display to display a video call user interface (UI) corresponding to the audio data;

gradually change a display size of the video call UI based on a volume level of the audio data; and

move a display position of the video call UI based on a user manipulation input through the user interface.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the volume level of the audio data being greater than a predetermined amount, enlarge the display size of the video call UI.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the voice of the user being recognized for longer than a predetermined time, enlarge the display size of the video call UI.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to replace an user image included in the video call UI with a predetermined image.

5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on a user gesture included in the video call UI satisfying a predetermined condition, control the display to change the display size of the video call UI.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform a voice call with the another display apparatus while the video call UI is removed.

7. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to change the display size of the video call UI based on recognition time of the voice of the user.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the volume level of the audio data being less than a predetermined amount, gradually reduce the video call UI and remove the video call UI, and

based on the volume level of the audio data being greater than the predetermined amount while the video call UI is removed, control the display to display the video call UI.

9. A control method of a display apparatus, the control method comprising:

receive audio data including a voice of a user of another display apparatus,

displaying a video call user interface (UI) corresponding to the audio data;

gradually changing a display size of the video call UI based on a volume level of the audio data; and

moving a display position of the video call UI based on a user manipulation.

10. The control method of claim 9 , wherein the changing comprises, based on the volume level of the audio data being greater than a predetermined amount, enlarging the display size the video call UI.

11. The control method of claim 9 , wherein the changing comprises, based on the voice of the user being recognized for longer than a predetermined time, enlarging the display size of the video call UI.

12. The control method of claim 9 , further comprising:

replacing an user image included in the video call UI with a predetermined image.

13. The control method of claim 9 , wherein the changing comprises, based on a user gesture included in the video call UI satisfying a predetermined condition, changing the display size of the video call UI.

14. The control method of claim 9 , further comprising:

performing a voice call with the another display apparatus while the video call UI is removed.

15. The control method of claim 9 , wherein the changing comprises changing the display size of the video call UI based on recognition time of the voice of the user.

16. The control method of claim 9 , further comprising:

based on the volume level of the audio data being less than a predetermined amount, gradually reducing the video call UI and removing the video call UI, and

based on the volume level of the audio data being greater than the predetermined amount while the video call UI is removed, displaying the video call UI.
