1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display;
a tuner;
a communicator; and
a processor configured to:
identify whether the tuner or an external apparatus is providing a content that is currently being displayed on the display;
while the content is being displayed on the display, receive a first control signal from a remote control apparatus through the communicator;
in response to receiving the first control signal and based on identifying that the tuner is providing the content currently being displayed, perform an operation of the display apparatus according to the first control signal;
in response to receiving the first control signal and based on identifying that an external apparatus is providing the content currently being displayed, control the communicator to transmit information associated with the external apparatus to the remote control apparatus, which when received by the remote control apparatus using a first communication method, causes the remote control apparatus to transmit a second control signal for controlling an operation of the external apparatus, corresponding to the information, to the external apparatus using a second communication method,
wherein the second communication method of the remote control apparatus is different from the first communication method of the remote control apparatus.
2. The display apparatus claimed in claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the external apparatus comprises a control code corresponding to the first control signal.
3. The display apparatus claimed in claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the external apparatus comprises at least one of a product name, a serial number, and a manufacturer.
4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, based on a source of a content that is currently being displayed on the display being changed from the external apparatus to another external apparatus, transmit information associated with the other external apparatus to the remote control apparatus.
5. The display apparatus claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display apparatus further comprises a storage configured to store one or more control code sets corresponding to the external apparatus.
6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to, based on a control code set corresponding to the identified external apparatus not being stored in the storage, transmit a request for the control code set corresponding to the identified external apparatus to an external server, and receive the control code set from the external server.
7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first communication method is based on at least one of Bluetooth, Wifi, or WLAN, and wherein the second communication method is based on Infra-Red(IR).
8. A method of controlling a display apparatus comprising:
identifying whether the tuner or an external apparatus is providing a content that is currently being displayed on the display;
while the content is being displayed on the display, receiving a first control signal from a remote control apparatus through the communicator;
in response to receiving the first control signal and based on identifying that the tuner is providing the content currently being displayed, performing an operation of the display apparatus according to the first control signal;
in response to receiving the first control signal and based on identifying that an external apparatus is providing the content currently being displayed, transmitting information associated with the external apparatus to the remote control apparatus, which when received by the remote control apparatus using a first communication method, causes the remote control apparatus to transmit a second control signal for controlling an operation of the external apparatus, corresponding to the information, to the external apparatus using a second communication method,
wherein the second communication method of the remote control apparatus is different from the first communication method of the remote control apparatus.
9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the information associated with the external apparatus comprises a control code corresponding to the first control signal.
10. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the information associated with the external apparatus comprises at least one of a product name, a serial number, and a manufacturer.
11. The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
based on a source of a content that is currently being displayed on the display being changed from the external apparatus to another external apparatus, transmitting information associated with the other external apparatus to the remote control apparatus.
12. The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
based on a control code set corresponding to the identified external apparatus not being stored in a storage, transmitting a request for the control code set corresponding to the identified external apparatus to an external server, and receive the control code set from the external server.
13. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first communication method is based on at least one of Bluetooth, Wifi, or WLAN, and wherein the second communication method is based on Infra-Red(IR).
14. A display system comprising:
a remote control apparatus; and
a display apparatus comprising:
a display;
a tuner;
a communicator; and
a processor configured to:
identify whether the tuner or an external apparatus is providing a content that is currently being displayed on the display;
while the content is being displayed on the display, receive a first control signal from the remote control apparatus through the communicator;
in response to receiving the first control signal and based on identifying that the tuner is providing the content currently being displayed, perform an operation of the display apparatus according to the first control signal;
in response to receiving the first control signal and based on identifying that an external apparatus is providing the content currently being displayed, control the communicator to transmit information associated with the external apparatus to the remote control apparatus,
wherein the remote control apparatus is configured to,
in response to receiving the information associated with the external apparatus using a first communication method, transmit a second control signal for controlling an operation of the external apparatus, corresponding to the information, to the external apparatus using a second communication method,
wherein the second communication method of the remote control apparatus is different from the first communication method of the remote control apparatus.
15. The display system claimed in claim 14 , wherein the information associated with the external apparatus comprises a control code corresponding to the first control signal.
16. The display system claimed in claim 14 , wherein the information associated with the external apparatus comprises at least one of a product name, a serial number, and a manufacturer.
17. The display system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the display apparatus is configured to, based on a source of a content that is currently being displayed on the display apparatus being changed from the external apparatus to another external apparatus, transmit information associated with the other external apparatus to the remote control apparatus.
18. The display system claimed in claim 14 , wherein the display apparatus further comprises a storage configured to store one or more control code sets corresponding to the external apparatus.
