Abstract
The present disclosure provides a display device that includes an external input interface including an input port connected to a source device, and a processor configured to detect that a source device is connected through an unselected input port of a plurality of input ports, activate an external input interface corresponding to the unselected input port, perform a connection process between the source device and the external input interface, deactivate error detection operation between the source device and the external input interface, generate fake connection information for maintaining connection between the source device and the external input interface based on information input to the external input interface from the source device, and switch the external input interface to a standby mode.
Claims15
A display device comprising:
- a plurality of input ports, wherein an external input interface corresponds to each of the plurality of input ports;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect that a source device is connected through an unselected input port of the plurality of input ports;
- activate an external input interface corresponding to the unselected input port;
- perform a connection process between the source device and the external input interface;
- deactivate an error detection operation between the source device and the external input interface;
- generate fake connection information for maintaining connection between the source device and the external input interface based on information input to the external input interface from the source device;
- and
- switch the external input interface to a standby mode.
A method for performing input switching between input ports in a display device, the method comprising:
- detecting that a source device is connected through an unselected input port of a plurality of input ports of the display device;
- activating an external input interface corresponding to the unselected input port;
- performing a connection process between the source device and the external input interface;
- deactivating an error detection operation between the source device and the external input interface;
- generating fake connection information for maintaining connection between the source device and the external input interface based on information input to the external input interface from the source device;
- and
- switching the external input interface to a standby mode.
