Abstract:
An optical signal transferring apparatus, an electronic apparatus, and a source device, and methods of operating the same include a signal transfer unit including one or more signal lines transferring a signal between a first apparatus and a second apparatus and one or more power lines transferring power between the first apparatus and the second apparatus; and a first connector connected to the first apparatus, and a second connector connected to the second apparatus, wherein the signal transfer unit is configured to transfer an optical signal to the second apparatus in response to a power-on input of the first apparatus and transfer, to the first apparatus, power and data which are received from the second apparatus in response to detection of the transferred optical signal, respectively, via the one or more power lines and the one or more signal lines.
Abstract:
An external communication device, display device, display system, and control method therefor are disclosed. In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, an external communication device includes a wired communication module connected to a display device and configured to receive standby power; a wireless communication module configured to transmit a power application signal in response to reception of an event signal from at least one Internet of Things (IoT) apparatus via a wireless communication network according to whether the display device is active; and a communication controller configured to control an operation of the at least one IoT apparatus on the basis of a control command received via the wired communication module.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a communicator configured to be operable in one of a first state, which enables communications, and a second state, which disables the communications, to receive a beacon signal for connecting with an external apparatus; a display; and a controller configured to control the communicator to operate in the first state to receive the beacon signal for signal receiving sections corresponding to transmission times of the beacon signal and a second state for remaining sections, and in response to the communicator not receiving the beacon signal for the signal receiving sections in the first state, to control the communicator to adjust the signal receiving sections to receive the beacon signal. With this, if the beacon signals for connecting with the external apparatus are not normally received, the display apparatus may adjust the signal receiving sections to maintain the connection with the external apparatus.
Abstract:
An input/output (I/O) device includes at least one I/O port connected to an external source; a wireless interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus; and a processor configured to, in response to receiving content from the external source through the at least one I/O port, transmit the content to the external apparatus through the wireless interface, wherein the processor is further configured to encode a moving image and transmit the encoded moving image to the external apparatus in response to determining that the content is the moving image, and transmit a still image to the external apparatus without encoding the still image in response to determining that the content is the still image.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus, including: a receptacle including: a plurality of pin groups electrically connectable to the plug connector including a plurality of plug terminals disposed on respective surfaces of the plug connector; a first pin group of the plurality of pin groups disposed on a first surface including a first pin; and a second pin group of the plurality of pin groups disposed on a second surface including a second pin; and a processor configured to detect a voltage value of the first pin, to detect a voltage value of the second pin, and to determine a connecting direction of the plug connector based on the detected voltage value of the first pin and the detected voltage value of the second pin
Abstract:
A network system, an access point, and a connection method thereof are provided. The access point includes a communicator configured to communicate with a wireless devices, and a controller configured to control the communicator to acquire authentication information based on a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that is received from the wireless device, and to perform connection with an electronic device based on the acquired authentication information.
