Display apparatus, terminal apparatus, and controlling methods thereof

Abstract

A display apparatus, a terminal apparatus, and controlling methods are provided. The display apparatus includes: a communicator to communicate with a terminal apparatus or a relay server in order to receive collected status information about at least one peripheral device from the terminal apparatus, a display unit to display a user interface (UI) screen; and a controller to generate a control UI for controlling the at least one peripheral device or a security UI for monitoring a peripheral space through the at least one peripheral device based on the status information about the at least one peripheral device and based on whether a communication with the terminal apparatus is possible, thereby controlling a home device t in real time according to a communication status with the terminal apparatus.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0169113, filed on Dec. 31, 2013, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]Apparatus and methods consistent with exemplary embodiments relate to providing a display apparatus, a terminal apparatus, and controlling methods thereof, and more particularly, to providing a display apparatus that provides a home network service, a terminal apparatus, and controlling methods thereof.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]The recent development of communication technologies, has led to an emergence of various technologies directed towards a home network system establishing, integrating and / or managing a network between home devices such as a smart TV, a smart air conditioner, etc. installed in a home. According to the various technologies, a user may integra...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0034]According to another exemplary embodiment, the transmitting of the status information includes if communication with the display apparatus is possible, transmitting the status information about the at least one controllable peripheral device to the display apparatus based on the stored status information, and in response to a control command being received from the display apparatus, transmitting the control command to one of the at least one controllable peripheral device corresponding to the received control command.

[0035]According to another exemplary embodiment, the transmitting of the status information includes if communication with the display apparatus is not possible, transmitting the status information about the at least one peripheral device to be monitored, to the display apparatus through a relay server based on the stored status information, in response to a monitoring performance command being received from the display apparatus through the relay server, transmitting the monitoring performance command to one of the at least one peripheral device corresponding to the monitoring performance command, and transmitting image information captured by the one of the at least one peripheral device to the display apparatus through the relay server according to the monitoring performance command.

[0036]According to another aspect of an exemplary embodiment, a method of controlling at least one peripheral device includes transmitting, to the at least one peripheral device, a request for status information of the at least one peripheral device, receiving, from the at least one peripheral device, the requested status information, generating at least one of a control user interface (UI) for controlling the at least one peripheral device and a security UI for monitoring a peripheral space using the at least one peripheral device based on the received status information and a communication status information, and transmitting, to the at least one peripheral device, a user command to control the at least one peripheral device, input by a user in the at least one of the control UI and the security UI.

Problems solved by technology

Although home devices, such as a smart TV, a smart air conditioner, a robot cleaner, or the like, have various functions, these various functions of the home device have not been used via the above described and currently prevalent home network system.

Also, the exemplary embodiments are not required to overcome the disadvantages described above, and an exemplary embodiment may not overcome any of the problems described above.
