Abstract
A media processing apparatus is provided. The media processing apparatus includes an interface unit which is connected to each of a plurality of terminal devices through a communication interface including a video channel, an audio channel, and a data channel, a processor which receives a control signal from a first terminal device having control rights, a control unit which notifies the first terminal device if there is an access attempt from at least one of a second terminal device and transfers the control rights to the second terminal device if a message to permit the transfer of the control rights is received from the first terminal device. Accordingly, control rights may be transferred and shared in a reasonable manner.
Claims18
A media processing apparatus, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive an access attempt from each of a plurality of terminal devices;
- a processor configured to perform an operation corresponding to a signal received through the interface;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a terminal device to generate the received signal based on access attempts by the plurality of terminal devices,
- wherein, in response to a connected terminal device being disconnected, the controller receives the signal from another terminal device corresponding to the access attempt based on the order.
A media processing apparatus, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive signals from a plurality of devices;
- a controller configured to:
- select a first signal from among the plurality of signals based on a criteria, wherein the selected first signal corresponds to a first device from among the plurality of devices, and
- in response to a disconnection with the first device, selecting a second signal from among the plurality of signals based on the criteria, wherein the selected second signal corresponds to a second device from among the plurality of device;
- and
- a processor configured to perform operations corresponding to the first signal and the second signal selected by the controller.
A method of controlling a media processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a first control signal from a first terminal device having control rights of the media processing apparatus;
- performing an operation by a processor of the media processing apparatus corresponding to the received control signal;
- detecting a disconnection with the first terminal device;
- and
- receiving a second control signal from a second terminal device in response to the detected disconnection with the first terminal device,
- wherein the first control signal and the second control signal are signals for controlling the media processing apparatus.
