DISPLAY DEVICE AND DISPLAY DEVICE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538286 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND DISPLAY DEVICE CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The display device described in the patent application is able to detect the pairing history and Bluetooth connection status between a remote controller and the display unit. Based on the number of times the Bluetooth connection has been cut off, the display unit can control the user interface to prompt the user to pair the remote controller.

  • The display device can identify pairing history and Bluetooth connection status with a remote controller.
  • The device can count the number of times the Bluetooth connection has been cut off.
  • Based on the count, the display unit can prompt the user to pair the remote controller.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various electronic devices such as smart TVs, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles to improve user experience and simplify the pairing process with remote controllers.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of users struggling to pair their remote controllers with display devices, especially when the Bluetooth connection is unstable or frequently disconnected.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include a more seamless and user-friendly pairing process, reducing frustration for users and improving overall user experience with electronic devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology can be utilized by manufacturers of smart TVs, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles to differentiate their products in the market by offering a more convenient and user-friendly pairing process for remote controllers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be a similar technology used in smart home devices that automatically detect and pair with compatible controllers or devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device comprises a display unit, a communication unit and a processor, which identifies, based on an IR signal received through the communication unit, whether there is a pairing history of a remote controller and the display device, identifies whether there is a Bluetooth connection between the display device and the remote controller, counts a number of times the Bluetooth connection had been cut off between the display device and the remote controller, and controls, based on the counted number of times the Bluetooth connection had been cut off, the display unit so that a user interface (UI) for pairing with the remote controller is displayed.
