DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456977 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display apparatus that consists of two display modules connected to a local area network (LAN) via wired ports. The first display module has an infrared (IR) signal receiver and two wired ports, while the second display module has two wired ports.
- The first display module can transmit an IR signal received from the IR signal receiver to the second display module via a LAN cable.
- The first display module can also transmit a control signal received from an external device connected to its first wired port to the second display module via a LAN cable.
- The second display module can transmit an IR signal or a control signal to a neighboring third display module via a LAN cable.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Multi-display setups in conference rooms or classrooms where multiple display modules need to be connected and controlled.
- Digital signage systems where multiple display modules are used to create a larger display area.
- Video walls or large-scale displays that require synchronization and control between multiple display modules.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the setup and control of multiple display modules by utilizing a LAN connection.
- Enables the transmission of both IR signals and control signals between display modules, allowing for seamless integration and synchronization.
- Reduces the need for complex wiring and infrastructure by utilizing existing LAN cables.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved flexibility and scalability in setting up display systems.
- Simplified control and synchronization of multiple display modules.
- Cost-effective solution by utilizing existing LAN infrastructure.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus is disclosed. The display apparatus comprises: a first display module having an infrared (IR) signal receiver and a first wired port and second wired port configured to be connected to local area network (LAN) cables; and a second display module having a third wired port and fourth wired port configured to be connected to LAN cables, wherein the first display module is configured to: transmit a received IR signal to the second display module via a first LAN cable connected to the second wired port and third wired port, based on the IR signal received via the IR signal reception unit being a signal for controlling the second display module, and transmit a received control signal to the second display module via a second LAN cable, based on the control signal being received, via the second LAN cable, from an external device connected via the first wired port, and the second display module is configured to transmit an IR signal or a control signal to a neighboring third display module via a third LAN cable connected to the fourth wired port, based on the IR signal or the control signal being received via the first LAN cable.
