Abstract
A signal receiving apparatus includes: a communication part which communicates with a plurality of display apparatuses, and a controller which determines whether at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is connected to the signal receiving apparatus, and, if it is determined that the at least one display apparatus is connected to the signal receiving apparatus, controls connection information related to a connection state of the display apparatus to be provided to at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses.
Claims20
A signal receiving apparatus comprising:
- a receiving part which receives a broadcast image signal, wherein the receiving part comprises a tuner which tunes the received broadcast image signal;
- a communication part which communicates with a plurality of display apparatuses, wherein the communication part is configured to communicate the tuned broadcast image signal to the plurality of display apparatuses;
- and
- a controller which determines whether at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus,
- wherein, if the controller determines that the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus, then, in response to such a determination, the controller:
- controls connection information, indicating that the connected display apparatus is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus, to be provided to the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses;
- and
- controls the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses to display an indication showing that the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus along with an indication showing whether or not another of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus.
A display apparatus that receives a tuned broadcast image signal from a signal receiving apparatus, which tunes a received broadcast image signal, the display apparatus comprising:
- a communication part which communicates with the signal receiving apparatus and receives the tuned broadcast image signal from the signal receiving apparatus;
- a display part which displays an image based on the received tuned broadcast image signal;
- and
- a controller which receives connection information from the signal receiving apparatus,
- wherein, in response to the received connection information, the controller controls the display part to display an indication, showing whether or not the display apparatus is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus along with an indication showing whether or not another display apparatus is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus.
A control method of a signal receiving apparatus comprising a communication part which communicates with a plurality of display apparatuses, the method comprising:
- determining whether at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus through the communicating part;
- and
- if it is determined that at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus, then in response to such a determination:
- providing connection information, indicating that the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus, to the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses through the communicating part;
- displaying, by the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses, an indication showing that the at least one of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus along with an indication showing whether or not another of the plurality of display apparatuses is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus;
- receiving, by the signal receiving apparatus, a broadcast image signal;
- tuning, by the signal receiving apparatus, the received broadcast image signal;
- and
- communicating, by the signal receiving apparatus, the tuned broadcast image signal to the currently connected display apparatus.
A control method of a display apparatus that receives a tuned broadcast image signal from a signal receiving apparatus, which tunes a received broadcast image signal, the method comprising:
- receiving connection information from the signal receiving apparatus;
- in response to the received connection information, displaying an indication that the display apparatus is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus along with an indication showing whether or not another display apparatus is currently connected to the signal receiving apparatus;
- receiving, by the display apparatus, the tuned broadcast image signal from the signal receiving apparatus;
- and
- displaying, by the display apparatus, an image based on the received tuned broadcast image signal.
