1 is a diagram illustrating a method of setting an integrated remote controller 300 of the display apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment.

In detail, the display apparatus 100 may receive and display content from the external input source 200. Here, the external input source 200 may be a content providing device such as a set top box, a DVD player, and a home theater. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the external input source 200 may be connected to the display device 100 such as a Blu-ray player, a PC, a console game machine, a sound device, or the like, to provide content to the display device 100. Of course, it can be implemented.

Meanwhile, even if the external input source 200 is a device that provides the same function, the external input source 200 may be implemented in a different form depending on the manufacturer of the external input source 200 or the broadcaster that provides the content. The remote controller 200-1 for controlling the external input source 200 may also be implemented in a different form according to a manufacturer or a broadcaster providing content.

The integrated remote controller 300 is a device in which one remote controller is provided with control codes for a plurality of control target devices to control the target devices respectively or simultaneously. Meanwhile, the integrated remote controller 300 may be implemented as various types of remote control devices capable of transmitting a control code. For example, the integrated remote controller 300 may be implemented not only as a dedicated remote controller of the display apparatus 100 but also as a smartphone.

 The integrated remote controller 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is not implemented in the form of pre-stored a plurality of control code sets in the integrated remote controller 300, but from a plurality of control code sets stored in the display apparatus 100. The control code set may be received from the display apparatus 100 and stored in the integrated remote controller 300. Accordingly, the display apparatus 100 may prestore information on a plurality of control code sets for controlling the external input source 200.

Meanwhile, the integrated remote controller 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may store a sample control code for controlling a specific function of an external device. For example, the integrated remote controller 300 previously stores a sample control code for controlling a specific function such as channel change and sound control of the external input source 200, and uses a corresponding display control code using the sample control code. Before receiving the control code set from 100, the specific function of the external input source 200 may be controlled.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, when the integrated remote controller setting command is transmitted from the integrated remote controller 300, the display apparatus 100 may display the integrated remote controller setting UI. In addition, when a predetermined remote control signal is received from the integrated remote controller 300, the display apparatus 100 may identify at least one control code set including a control code of the remote controller signal. Here, the preset remote control signal may include at least one of a sample control code for controlling a predetermined function of the external input source 200 and a control code corresponding to an automatic setting command for setting the integrated remote controller 300. . The display apparatus 100 may receive a sample control code for controlling the external input source 200 from the integrated remote controller 300 and identify at least one control code set including the sample control code. For example, when the integrated remote controller 300 transmits a remote control signal including a sample control code for controlling a channel change function of the external input source 200, the display apparatus 100 includes at least a channel change control code. One control code set can be identified.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display apparatus 100 may display information on at least one function included in the identified control code set on the integrated remote control setting UI. In detail, when there are a plurality of control code sets including control codes of the remote control signal, the display apparatus 100 may display information on different functions between the plurality of control code sets in the integrated remote control setting UI. According to another embodiment of the present invention, when only one control code set including the control code of the remote control signal is identified, the display device may display a function included in the identified control code set.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a display apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.

According to FIG. 2, the display apparatus 100 includes a display 110, an interface 120, a storage 130, a communication unit 140, and a processor 150. Here, the display apparatus 100 may be a TV, but is not limited thereto, and may be controlled by a remote controller and have a display function, a PC having a display function, a large format display (LFD), a digital signage, and a digital information. It may be implemented in various electronic devices such as a display, a video wall, a projector display, and the like. Alternatively, a home appliance such as a refrigerator, an air conditioner, an audio device, or the like may be controlled by a remote controller.

Display 110 displays the content. The display 110 may display content received through a broadcast channel, content received through an external input source 200, prestored content, and the like.

The display 110 may be implemented as a liquid crystal display panel (LCD), organic light emitting diodes (OLED), liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), digital light processing (DLP), or the like, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the display 110 may be implemented in the form of a touch screen forming a mutual layer structure with the touch pad in some cases. In this case, the display 110 may be used as a user interface in addition to the output device.

In addition, when the integrated remote controller setting command is transmitted from the integrated remote controller 300, the display 110 may display the integrated remote controller setting UI. The display 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may display a guide UI for inducing setting of the integrated remote controller 300 to the user while displaying the content 100-1 received from the external input source 200. . For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the display 110 may display a guide UI for inducing a user to input a specific button, for example, a channel change button. When the channel change button is input from the integrated remote controller 300, a sample control code for controlling a channel change function of the external input source 200 is transmitted to the display apparatus 100 and the external input source 200. In this case, if the sample control code received by the external input source 200 is suitable for controlling the channel changing function of the external input source 200, the external input source 200 performs the channel changing function, and the display ( The content 100-1 being displayed on the 110 may also be changed.

The interface 120 may receive content by performing wired / wireless communication with the external input source 200. In detail, the interface 120 may receive content from the external input source 200 through various communication methods such as HDMI, DVI, component, wired Ethernet, WI-FI, Bluetooth, and the like.

The storage unit 130 stores various data such as an operating system (O / S) software module for driving the display apparatus 100.

In particular, the storage unit 130 stores information about a control code set for each model of the display apparatus 100 and the external input source 200. Here, the information on the control code set is information (for example, a control code) for each button provided in the dedicated remote controller 200-1 of the external input source 200 and signal information generated when each button is selected ( For example, a waveform) means information about a function provided by the external input source 200.

In addition, the storage unit 130 may further store a control code set for each broadcaster. In detail, the broadcaster may provide content to the display apparatus 100 using a specific external input source (eg, set-top box) 200. In addition, the number of external devices mainly used by a particular broadcaster may be limited. For example, the first broadcaster may provide content to the display apparatus 100 using any one of the first external device and the second external device. Therefore, the information about the control code set stored in the display apparatus 100 may include broadcaster information that provides content using an external input source 200 corresponding to the control code set. In addition, since the external input source 200 exists in various ways depending on the manufacturer, model, or broadcaster, the storage unit 130 may store a plurality of control code sets and information on the same.

The communicator 140 may communicate with the integrated remote controller 300. In detail, the display apparatus 100 receives a remote controller signal transmitted by the integrated remote controller 300 to control the display apparatus 100 or the external input source 200 through a communication unit, and transmits a control code set to the integrated remote controller 300. ) Can be sent. For example, when the integrated remote controller 300 transmits a unique remote controller signal corresponding to each button, the communicator 140 may receive the remote controller signal and transmit the received remote controller signal to the processor 150. In addition, the control code set stored in the display apparatus 100 when the integrated remote controller 300 is set may be transmitted to the integrated remote controller 300 through the communication unit 140. Specifically, when a user command for registering a specific control code set to the integrated remote controller 300 is input, the specific control code set may be transmitted to the integrated remote controller 300.

Here, the communication unit 120 is BT (BlueTooth), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), WI-FI (Wireless Fidelity), Zigbee, IR (Infrared), Serial Interface, USB (Universal Serial Bus), NFC (Near Field Communication) Communication with the integrated remote controller 300 may be performed through various communication methods such as the above. In the case of using a Wi-Fi chip or a Bluetooth chip, various connection information such as SSID and session key may be transmitted and received first, and then various communication information may be transmitted and received by using the same. The wireless communication chip refers to a chip that performs communication according to various communication standards such as IEEE, Zigbee, 3rd Generation (3G), 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Long Term Evoloution (LTE), and the like.

In the meantime, when the integrated remote controller 300 is set, when the integrated remote controller 300 transmits a predetermined remote control signal (for example, a sample control code) for controlling the external input source 200, the external input source 200 may be used. May perform a function corresponding to the sample control code, and the communication unit 140 may identify at least one control code set including the received sample control code from the storage unit 130. Meanwhile, as described below, when the remote controller receiver 140 transmits the received remote controller signal to the processor 150, the processor 150 receives a control code set including a sample control code of the remote controller signal from the storage 130. It can also be identified.

The processor 150 controls the overall operation of the display apparatus 100. Herein, the processor 150 may be one of a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, an application processor (AP), a communication processor (CP), an ARM processor, or It may include more than that.

In addition, the processor 140 may include a graphic processing unit (not shown) for graphic processing corresponding to the image. The processor 130 may be implemented as a system on chip (SoC) including a core (not shown) and a GPU (not shown). The processor 140 may include a single core, dual core, triple core, quad core, and multiple cores thereof.

In particular, when a remote control signal (eg, a sample control code or a test control code) for controlling the external input source 200 is received through the communication unit 140, the processor 150 includes a control code of the remote control signal. At least one control code set may be detected. Specifically, when the external input source 200 executes a function corresponding to the sample control code according to the sample control code transmitted by the integrated remote controller 300, the display apparatus 100 is a control code set including the sample control code. It may be determined that the external input source 200 can be controlled. In this case, the processor 150 may identify at least one control code set including a sample control code among a plurality of control code sets. However, when the external input source 200 cannot execute a function corresponding to the sample control code, the display apparatus 100 may further receive a sample control code different from the previous sample control code from the integrated remote controller 300. You can also provide a guided UI.

In addition, the processor 150 may control the display 110 to display information on at least one function included in the identified control code set in the integrated remote control setting UI. For example, when one control code set including the control code of the received remote control signal is identified, the processor 150 may display information on at least one function included in the control code set described above on the setting UI. I can display it

On the other hand, as the model of the external input source 200 is subdivided, only one sample control code cannot specify one control code set from among a plurality of control code sets. For example, since the control code according to the channel change button may be included in the plurality of control code sets, the processor 150 may obtain a plurality of control code sets including the received sample control codes.

In this case, the processor 150 may display information on different functions between the plurality of control code sets. Here, the information about the different functions may be information about functions that do not overlap with each other of the identified control code sets. Therefore, when the processor 150 acquires the first control code set and the second control code set, the processor 150 compares the functions included in the first control code set with the functions included in the second control code set. In other words, it is possible to display information about functions that do not overlap each other, that is, different functions. For example, the first function included in the first control code set is not included in the second control code set, and the second function included in the second control code set is not included in the first control code set. If not, the processor 150 may display the information on the first function and the information on the second function with the different functions described above.

Meanwhile, when one of the information on the functions included in the identified control code set displayed on the integrated remote controller setting UI is selected according to a user command, the processor 150 transmits a control code set including the selected function to the communication unit 140. By transmitting to the integrated remote controller 300 through, the integrated remote controller 300 may be set. Therefore, the processor 150 transmits the control code set corresponding to the selected function among the information on the different functions between the control code sets to the integrated remote controller 300 to control the external input source 200 with the integrated remote controller 300. Can be set to do so.

In addition, when the processor 150 identifies a plurality of control code sets including control codes of a remote controller signal, the processor 150 may determine a first function included in a first control code set from among a plurality of control code sets based on a preset priority. Only information can be displayed. Here, the preset priority may be set by the manufacturer of the display apparatus 100. For example, by setting a priority to a plurality of control code sets including a specific control code, information about a first function included in the control code set having the highest priority may be displayed. Meanwhile, the priority may be determined according to a control code set selected by a plurality of users, a selection preference of a plurality of users, and the like.

In addition, the processor 150 may additionally display a guide UI for displaying information on a second function included in the second control code set among the plurality of control code sets. In this case, a guide UI (for example, an arrow or a Next button) and the like are displayed together with information about the first function included in the first control code set. Therefore, a user who does not want to set the integrated remote controller 300 by using the first control code set selects the guide UI to provide information on the second function included in the next order control code set, that is, the second control code set. You can check. Meanwhile, the first function and the second function may be different functions. Therefore, the first function may not be included in the second control code set, and the second function may be a function not included in the first control code set.

Meanwhile, when there is no different function between the plurality of identified control code sets, the processor 150 may provide a UI for guiding an additional button from among buttons provided in the integrated remote controller 300. Specifically, when the amount of the remote control signal received through the communication unit 140 is insufficient, and the processor 150 cannot identify a different function between the plurality of control code sets obtained, the processor 150 receives the additional remote control signal. The display 110 may be controlled to display a UI for generating. For example, if the processor 150 identifies a plurality of control code sets including control codes corresponding to the channel change button, and there is no different function among the identified plurality of control code sets, the processor 150 may adjust the volume control button. The display 110 may be controlled to display a UI for additionally receiving a remote control signal corresponding to. Accordingly, the processor 150 may determine a control code set including an additionally input sample control code from among the plurality of identified control code sets.

In addition, the processor 150 may obtain broadcaster information from the content received from the external input source 200. In detail, the processor 150 may obtain broadcaster information through metadata about the received content, and identify the broadcaster of the external input source 200 based on the received broadcaster information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the processor 150 may obtain broadcaster information on a screen on which content is displayed. For example, the processor 150 performs an optical character reader / recognition (OCR) on a screen on which content is displayed to obtain broadcaster information from an area where broadcaster information is displayed, and based on the external input source 200 May also identify a broadcaster.

Accordingly, the processor 150 may identify at least one control code set including a sample control code among control code sets including information on the identified broadcaster.

Meanwhile, the processor 150 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may automatically recognize the external input source 200 and display a UI for setting the integrated remote controller 300. Specifically, when the automatic setting command is input or when the external input source 200 is connected to the display apparatus 100 and the external input source 200 is recognized, the processor 150 receives model identification information from the external input source. Can be received. In addition, the processor 150 identifies a control code set that matches the model of the external input source 200 based on the received model identification information, and integrates information on at least one function included in the identified control code set. It can be displayed on the remote control setting UI. Here, the model identification information refers to information about a specific model of the external input source as the external input source 200 as a Plug & Play (PnP) device. Accordingly, the display apparatus 100 may control the external input source 200 based on the identification model information about the connected external input source 200 and the information about the control code set for each model stored in the storage 130. Identify a set of control codes. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the model identification information may be received through various methods such as HDMI-CEC and Infoframe.

Therefore, the display apparatus 100 may identify the control code set based on the model identification information for the external input source 200 in a step before receiving the remote control signal for controlling the external input source 200. At least one control code set may be identified based on the set remote control signal and model identification information.

In addition, the processor 150 according to another embodiment of the present invention may identify at least one control code set based on model identification information and broadcaster information received from the external input source 200. Accordingly, the processor 150 may identify the control code set based on at least one of the model identification information, the broadcaster information, and the preset remote control signal, and may provide information on at least one function included in the identified control code set. Can be displayed.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the UI and the preview UI provided when setting the integrated remote controller will be described.

3, 4A, and 4B are diagrams for describing a UI provided when setting an integrated remote controller according to an exemplary embodiment.

According to FIG. 3, the display apparatus 100 may display various UIs for setting an integrated remote controller.

When the integrated remote controller 300 transmits a remote controller signal for controlling the external input source 200, the display apparatus 100 and the external input source 200 may receive a remote controller signal. When the external input source 200 changes the content 100-1 displayed by the display apparatus 100 by performing a function according to a remote control signal received from the integrated remote controller 300 (for example, changing a channel), the display is displayed. The apparatus 100 may identify at least one control code set including a control code according to the remote control signal.

In addition, the display apparatus 100 may display information on the identified control code set. In detail, the preview UI 400 indicating information on some buttons may be displayed among information on each button included in the control code set. Here, the information on some buttons displayed on the preview UI 400 may be information about a special function included in the identified control code set. For example, the display apparatus 100 may identify a control code set identified as My menu, Recording, Shopping, Guide, etc., rather than a channel change button, a volume control button, a numeric button, etc. which are commonly included in a plurality of control code sets. It is possible to display only information about the button that can be distinguished from the rest of the control code set in the UI (400). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the display apparatus 100 may display information on all buttons included in the identified control code set in the preview UI 400.

An image representing a recording function that is not enabled may be displayed. That is, the display apparatus 100 may display an image representing a different function among a plurality of control code sets.

In addition, when a user command to select one of the UI 500 representing different functions is input, the control code set including the selected function may be transmitted to the integrated remote controller 300. Therefore, the display apparatus 100 may transmit a control code set matching the dedicated remote controller 200-1 of the external input source 200 to the integrated remote controller 300. When the control code set is transmitted to the integrated remote controller 300, both the display apparatus 100 and the external input source 200 may be controlled using the integrated remote controller 300.

Meanwhile, even when the plurality of control code sets are identified, the display apparatus 300 may display only one control code set among the plurality of control code sets identified according to a preset priority. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the display apparatus 100 may display the preview UI 400 indicating only information on one control code set.

In detail, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, when the display apparatus 100 identifies a plurality of control code sets including a control code of a received remote controller signal, a first of the plurality of control code sets is based on a preset priority. Only information on the first function included in the control code set may be displayed. Here, the predetermined priority may be determined based on at least one of a selection preference of a plurality of users and an external input source 200 used by a plurality of users among a plurality of models of the external input sources 200 manufactured by the same manufacturer. .

In addition, the display apparatus 100 may provide the preview UI 520 with a guide UI (eg, Next button) 530 for additionally displaying a second function included in the second control code set. . In this case, when a user's guide UI 530 selection command is input, the display apparatus 100 may display information on the second function included in the second control code set through the preview UI 520.

5 and 6 are diagrams for describing a UI provided when setting an integrated remote controller according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
