Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a TV, the method being characterized by comprising the steps of: receiving information about a remote control device and information about an external device from the remote control device through UWB communication; calculating the relative distance and angle of the external device on the basis of the information about the remote control device and the information about the external device; performing Bluetooth pairing with the external device on the basis of the relative distance and angle of the external device; executing a surround sound mode providing surround sound; and automatically setting the volume of the external device on the basis of the relative distance and angle of the external device.
Claims16
A TV comprising:
- a network interface unit configured to receive information about an external device through UWB communication from a remote controller, wherein the information about the external device includes a Bluetooth address of the external device and position information of the external device;
- a display configured to output content;
- and
- a controller configured to control the network interface unit and the display,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- perform Bluetooth pairing with the external device based on the Bluetooth address of the external device;
- calculate a relative distance and angle of the external device based on the position information of the external device, and
- automatically set a volume of the external device based on the relative distance and angle of the external device.
A remote controller comprising:
- a housing;
- a UWB module configured to perform UWB communication, and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- calculate a distance to a master device and a distance to a slave device through the UWB communication,
- calculate an angle between the master device and the slave device with respect to the remote controller, and
- transmit the distances and the angle to the master device.
A method of controlling a TV, the method comprising:
- receiving information about an external device through UWB communication from the remote controller, wherein the information about the external device includes a Bluetooth address of the external device and position information of the external device;
- performing Bluetooth pairing with the external device based on the Bluetooth address of the external device;
- calculating a relative distance and angle of the external device based the position information of the external device;
- executing a surround sound mode that provides surround sound;
- and
- automatically setting volume of the external device based on the relative distance and angle of the external device.
