Abstract:
An electronic device includes a network interface configured to communicate with an access point via a Local Area Network (LAN) cable, a wireless network interface configured to wirelessly communicate with the access point, and a controller configured to detect a connection to the access point via the LAN cable, control the network interface to receive access information for establishing a wireless connection with the access point from the access point, and control the wireless network interface to wirelessly connect to the access point using the received access information.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an access point including a communicator configured to communicate with an external electronic apparatus; and a controller configured to, in response to determining that a preset first electronic apparatus is connected to the communicator, provide a signal for requesting connection between a second electronic apparatus connected to another access point and the first electronic apparatus to the another access point based on a type of an IP address (Internet Protocol) allocated to the access point, and form a single network with the another access point based on a signal in response to the connection request signal, thereby providing a user with convenience in communication connection with the electronic apparatus.
Abstract:
An antenna device includes: a slot antenna unit configured to be positioned on a shield plate disposed in a rear side of a display; and a communication module configured to be connected to the slot antenna unit, to transmit and receive a signal to and from an external wireless device via the slot antenna unit. The slot antenna unit is exposed toward the display to radiate an antenna signal to the display.
Abstract:
A method of calculating an angular position of a peripheral device with respect to an electronic apparatus, a peripheral device, and an electronic apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving sounds, by the peripheral device, from each of a pair of loudspeakers provided in the electronic apparatus; and calculating, by the peripheral device, an angular position of the peripheral device with respect to a predetermined direction, based on a time difference between respective points of time in receiving the sounds from each loudspeaker.
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:
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.
Abstract:
A signal transfer apparatus including an antenna unit is provided. A signal transfer apparatus includes a housing, an interface provided at a housing to be connected to an external device to transmit a signal to or receive a signal from the external device, an external case configured to cover the housing, an antenna unit configured to be a slot antenna, and a communication module which is connected to the slot antenna and transmits a signal to or receives a signal from an external wireless device through the slot antenna, a controller provided in the housing to be electrically connected to the interface and the antenna unit, and transmit an external signal received through the interface or the antenna unit directly to a display apparatus or convert the external signal and transmit the converted signal to the display apparatus.
