Abstract
A display device includes a controller that obtains a plurality of sound sources respectively corresponding to a plurality of content, and generates one or more sink sound sources for transmission to at least one of a plurality of sink devices based on one or more sound sources among the plurality of sound sources. The controller may generate one or more sink sound sources for transmission to at least one sink device corresponding to at least one sink device item selected based on a user input for selecting at least one of a plurality of sink device items included in each of a plurality of sink device lists.
Claims11
A display device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface connected to a plurality of sink devices that output audio of content;
- a display configured to display a content list including a plurality of content items respectively corresponding to a plurality of content and a plurality of sink device lists respectively corresponding to the plurality of content items;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- obtain a plurality of sound sources respectively corresponding to the plurality of content, and
- generate a plurality of sink sound sources respectively corresponding to a first content item and a second content item based on different sound sources among the plurality of sound sources,
- wherein the controller is configured to concurrently transmit:
- (i) a first sink sound source of the plurality of sink sound sources to a first sink device of the plurality of sink devices, and
- (ii) a second sink sound source of the plurality of sink sound sources to a second sink device of the plurality of sink devices, such that audio corresponding to the first sink sound source and audio corresponding to a second sink sound source are output concurrently via the first sink device and the second sink device, respectively,
- wherein the controller is further configured to obtain a user input for selecting an audio output method, when receiving a user input for selecting an identical sink device item from two or more sink device lists among the plurality of sink device lists, and
- wherein the audio output method includes a simultaneous playback and a sequential playback in the selected identical sink device item.
