Abstract
A play mode changing method, a display mode changing method, and a display apparatus and a three-dimensional (3D) image providing system using the same are provided. The method for changing a play mode includes: receiving state information regarding shutter glasses from the shutter glasses; and based on the received state information, performing one of changing the play mode and displaying a message for changing the play mode.
Claims36
A method for changing a play mode for a three-dimensional (3D) image, the method comprising:
- determining a state of shutter glasses based on a signal received from the shutter glasses;
- generating a graphic user interface (GUI) based on the determined state of the shutter glasses, the GUI being configured to receive a user input to change a play mode displaying the GUI;
- and
- changing the play mode according to the user input to change the play mode received through the GUI.
A method for changing between a three-dimensional (3D) display mode and a two-dimensional (2D) display mode, the method comprising:
- determining a state of shutter glasses based on a signal received from the shutter glasses;
- generating a graphic user interface (GUI) based on the determined state of the shutter glasses, the GUI being configured to receive a user input to change a display mode;
- displaying the GUI;
- and
- changing the display mode according to the user input to change the display mode received through the GUI.
A display apparatus for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image, the display apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a signal from shutter glasses;
- a controller configured to determine a state of the shutter glasses based on the received signal;
- and
- a graphic user interface (GUI) generator configured to generate a GUI based on the determined state of the shutter glasses, the GUI being configured to receive a user input to change a play mode,
- wherein the controller changes the play mode according to the user input to change the play mode received through the GUI.
A display apparatus which operates in a three-dimensional (3D) display mode and a two-dimensional (2D) display mode, the display apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a signal from shutter glasses;
- a controller configured to determine a state of the shutter glasses based on the received signal;
- and
- a graphic user interface (GUI) generator configured to generate a GUI based on the determined state of the shutter glasses, the GUI being configured to receive a user input to change a display mode,
- wherein the controller changes the display mode according to the user input to change the display mode received through the GUI.
A three-dimensional (3D) image providing system comprising:
- shutter glasses configured to open and close a left-eye glass and a right-eye glass alternately based on a sync signal received from an external source, and transmit a signal regarding a state of the shutter glasses;
- and
- a display apparatus configured to determine the state of the shutter glasses based on the received signal, generate a graphic user interface (GUI) based on the determined state of the shutter glasses, the GUI being configured to receive a user input to change a play mode, and changes the play mode according to the user input to change the play mode received through the GUI.
A three-dimensional (3D) image providing system comprising:
- shutter glasses configured to open and close a left-eye glass and a right-eye glass alternately based on a sync signal received from an external source, and transmit a signal regarding a state of the shutter glasses;
- and
- a display apparatus configured to operate in a 3D display mode and a 2D display mode, determine the state of the shutter glasses based on the received signal, generate a graphic user interface (GUI) based on the determined state of the shutter glasses, the GUI being configured to receive a user input to change a display mode, and changes the display mode according to the user input to change the display mode received through the GUI.
