Abstract
A remote control apparatus for setting a mode according to a state of a broadcast receiving apparatus is provided. The remote control apparatus sets operation modes based on information regarding a state of a broadcast receiving apparatus received from the broadcast receiving apparatus. The operation mode of the remote control apparatus is automatically set based on information regarding a state of a broadcast receiving apparatus, so less power is consumed in the remote control apparatus.
Claims40
An electronic system comprising,
- a display apparatus;
- and
- a remote control apparatus comprising:
- a first communicator;
- a user input unit comprising a plurality of buttons for controlling the display apparatus;
- and
- a first controller configured to:
- control the first communicator to transmit a command corresponding to a button among the plurality of buttons to the display apparatus;
- receive, through the first communicator from the display apparatus, information, the information being related to a state of the display apparatus;
- and
- based on the information, control an operating state of at least one element of the remote control apparatus to change from a first state to a second state,
- wherein the display apparatus comprises:
- a second communicator;
- and
- a second controller configured to, in response to receiving the command through the second communicator from the remote control apparatus, control the second communicator to transmit the information to the remote control apparatus, and
- wherein the remote control apparatus consumes less power when the at least one element is in the first state than when the at least one element is in the second state.
An electronic system comprising:
- a display apparatus comprising:
- a first communicator;
- and
- a first controller;
- and
- a remote control apparatus comprising:
- a second communicator;
- a motion sensor;
- a user input unit comprising a plurality of buttons including a button for controlling the display apparatus;
- and
- a second controller configured to:
- control the motion sensor to operate in a first state, and
- based on information received from the display apparatus through the second communicator, the information being related to a state of the display apparatus, control an operating state of the motion sensor to change from the first state to a second state,
- wherein the remote control apparatus consumes less power when the motion sensor is in the first state than when the motion sensor is in the second state.
A method for controlling an electronic system comprising a display apparatus and a remote control apparatus, the method comprising,
- transmitting, by the remote control apparatus, a command corresponding to a button among a plurality of buttons of the remote control apparatus to the display apparatus;
- receiving, by the remote control apparatus from the display apparatus, information being related to a state of the display apparatus;
- based on the information, controlling, by the remote control apparatus, an operating state of at least one element of the remote control apparatus to change from a first state to a second state;
- in response to receiving the command from the remote control apparatus, transmitting, by the display apparatus, the information to the remote control apparatus;
- and
- wherein the remote control apparatus consumes less power when the at least one element is in the first state than when the at least one element is in the second state.
A method for controlling an electronic system comprising a display apparatus and a remote control apparatus, the method comprising,
- controlling, by the remote control apparatus, a motion sensor of the remote control apparatus to operate in a first state;
- and
- based on information being related to a state of the display apparatus received from the display apparatus, controlling, by the remote control apparatus, an operating state of the motion sensor to change from the first state to a second state,
- wherein the remote control apparatus consumes less power when the motion sensor is in the first state than when the motion sensor is in the second state.
