Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display device may include a display configured to display an image, a user input interface configured to receive a remote control input from a remote control, and a controller configured to receive a user input, obtain a type of the received user input, and change a display property according to the obtained type of the user input, wherein the type of the user input is one of a remote control input type or a touch input.

Claims (44)

1. A display device comprising:

a display configured to display an image;

a user input interface configured to receive a remote control input from a remote control; and

a controller configured to receive a user input, obtain a type of the received user input, and change a display property according to the obtained type of the user input,

wherein the type of the user input is one of a remote control input type or a touch input, and

wherein the controller is configured to:

display a first virtual keyboard having a first size on the display when the type of the user input is the remote control input type, and

display a second virtual keyboard having a second size smaller than the first size on the display when the type of the user input is changed from the remote control input type to the touch input type.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to display a reduced image of the image and the second virtual keyboard on the display around a point at which the touch input is received.

3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a wireless communication interface configured to perform wireless communication with a mobile device,

wherein the controller is configured to set a keyboard type of the second virtual keyboard to a keyboard type set in the mobile device when the display device is connected to the mobile device.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output the image with a first brightness when the type of the user input is the remote control input type, and output the image with a second brightness smaller than the first brightness when the type of the user input is the touch input type.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to display a first brightness pop-up window indicating that the image is output with the first brightness when the type of the user input is the remote control input type, and display a second brightness pop-up window indicating that the image is output with the second brightness when the type of the user input is the touch input type.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to output the image with a first brightness when the type of the user input is the remote control input type, and display a reduced image of the image while outputting the image with the second brightness smaller than the first brightness when the type of the user input is changed to the touch input type.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to reduce and display the image displayed in an entire area of the display when the type of the user input is changed from the remote control input type to the touch input type.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the controller is configured to further display a touch menu for setting whether to maintain a touch mode.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to restore the reduced image to its original size when the touch mode is released through the touch menu.

10. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a wireless communication interface configured to receive an image signal corresponding to a source image being displayed by a mobile device,

wherein the controller is configured to

display a first mirroring image on the display based on the image signal, and

display a second mirroring image reduced from the first mirroring image when the type of the user input is changed from the remote control input type to the touch input type.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to convert UIBC coordinates corresponding to a point of a touch input received on the second mirroring image to match a reduced ratio of a mirroring image, and transmit the converted UIBC coordinates to the mobile device.

12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a shaft connected to a rear surface of the display and extending vertically; and

a stand base connected to a lower end of the shaft.

13. A method of operating a display, comprising:

displaying an image;

receiving a user input;

obtaining a type of the received user input; and

changing a display property according to the obtained type of the user input,

wherein the type of the user input is one of a remote control input type or a touch input, and

wherein the method further comprises:

displaying a first virtual keyboard having a first size on the display when the type of the user input is the remote control input type, and

displaying a second virtual keyboard having a second size smaller than the first size on the display when the type of the user input is changed from the remote control input type to the touch input type.

14. A display device comprising:

a display configured to display an image;

a user input interface configured to receive a remote control input from a remote control; and

a controller configured to receive a user input, obtain a type of the received user input, and change a display property according to the obtained type of the user input,

wherein the type of the user input is one of a remote control input type or a touch input,

wherein the controller is further configured to:

display a virtual keyboard having a preset keyboard type when a touch input is received in a case where a posture of the display is in a landscape mode, and

display a virtual keyboard having a keyboard type set in a mobile device connected to the display device when a touch input is received in a case where a posture of the display is in a portrait mode.
