Abstract
A display device configured to communicate with a mobile device for video calling. The display device is configured to activate a camera, based on a video calling request received from a mobile device, obtain image data for a counterpart mobile device through a communication interface, and control a display to display a video calling screen image including a first image for the counterpart mobile device generated based on the image data and a second image obtained by the camera.
Claims18
A display device comprising:
- a display;
- a camera;
- a communication interface configured to communicate with a mobile device;
- and
- a processor configured to execute at least one instruction to:
- after video calling between the mobile device and a counterpart device which is different from the mobile device and the display device is initiated, receive a video calling request from the mobile device, the video call request being generated based on a user input corresponding to a request for video calling through the display device and being received by the mobile device,
- in response to receiving the video calling request from the mobile device, activate the camera,
- obtain image data generated by the counterpart device for video calling through the communication interface,
- control the display to display a video calling screen image including a first image for the counterpart device generated based on the image data and a second image obtained by the camera, and
- control the communication interface to transmit image data corresponding to the second image to the mobile device such that the image data corresponding to the second image to be transmitted to the counterpart device through a server for supporting video calling.

A mobile device comprising:
- a display;
- a camera;
- a user interface;
- a communication interface configured to communicate with at least one of a display device and a counterpart device;
- and
- a processor configured to execute at least one instruction to:
- initiate video calling between the mobile device and the counterpart device which is different from the display device,
- after the video calling is initiated, in response to the user interface receiving a user input of requesting a video calling screen image to be output through the display device, control the communication interface to transmit a video calling request, which is a request to perform video calling with the counterpart device, to the display device,
- control the display to output a user interface screen image for controlling execution of video calling, and
- in response to receiving image data corresponding to an image obtained by a camera included in the display device, control the communication interface to transmit the image data to the counterpart device through a server for supporting video calling.

A video calling method performed by a display device, the video calling method comprising:
- after video calling between a mobile device and a counterpart device which is different from the mobile device and the display device is initiated, receiving a video calling request from the mobile device, the video call request being generated based on a user input corresponding to a request for video calling through the display device and being received by the mobile device;
- in response to receiving the video calling request from the mobile device, activating a camera of the display device;
- outputting a video calling screen image to be output through the display device, the video calling screen image including a first image for the counterpart device generated based on image data generated by the counterpart device and a second image for a user of the mobile device obtained by the camera;
- and
- transmitting image data corresponding to the second image to the mobile device such that the image data corresponding to the second image to be transmitted to the counterpart device through a server for supporting video calling.
