Abstract
An electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a first port, a second port, and a processor configured to execute a component function based on the first port and the second port being connected to a cable respectively, execute a composite function based on the second port being connected to a cable and the first port being in a disconnection state, and execute an Ex-link function based on the first port being connected to a cable and the second port being in a disconnection state.
Claims10
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a first port;
- a second port;
- and
- a processor configured to execute a component function based on the first port and the second port being connected via a cable respectively with a first external apparatus, execute a composite function based on the second port being connected via a cable with a second external apparatus and the first port being in a disconnection state, and execute an Ex-link function based on the first port being connected via a cable with a third external apparatus and the second port being in a disconnection state,
- wherein the processor is further configured to receive a signal for controlling the electronic apparatus from the third external apparatus through the first port while performing the Ex-link function.
A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting whether a cable is connected to at least one of a first port and a second port of the electronic apparatus;
- and
- executing a component function based on the first port and the second port being connected via a cable respectively with a first external apparatus, executing a composite function based on the second port being connected via a cable with a second external apparatus and the first port being in a disconnection state, and executing an Ex-link function based on the first port being connected via a cable with a third external apparatus and the second port being in a disconnection state,
- wherein the executing the Ex-link function comprises receiving a signal for controlling the electronic apparatus from the third external apparatus through the first port while performing the Ex-link function.
