Abstract

Provided is a display device. The display device includes a wireless communication unit configured to transmit/receive a packet according to a wireless communication manner, a storage unit configured to store information of at least one wake-up registration device, and a controller configured to allow the wireless communication unit to operate in a wake-up mode when power of the display device is turned off. The wireless communication unit outputs a first packet including information of the display device as operating in the wake-up mode, receives a second packet corresponding to a response of the outputted first packet, and turns on the power of the display device on the basis of the received second packet.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly transmit a packet or wirelessly receive a packet;

a memory configured to store information of at least one registered wake-up device; and

a controller configured to control the wireless communication unit to change to a wake-up mode or to not change to the wake-up mode based on whether specific information is stored in the memory,

wherein in response to power of the display device being turned off, the controller to;

determine whether the information of the at least one registered wake-up device is stored in the memory,

control the wireless communication unit to change to the wake-up mode when the information of the at least one registered wake-up device is determined to be stored in the memory, and

control the wireless communication unit to not change to the wake-up mode when the information of the at least one registered wake-up device is determined to not be stored in the memory, even when power of the display device is turned off,

wherein when the wireless communication unit is operating in the wake-up mode, the wireless communication unit is to output a first packet including information of the display device, wherein the first packet corresponds to an advertising packet,

wherein while the wireless communication unit is operating in the wake-up mode, the wireless communication unit to receive a second packet in response to the outputted first packet, and the controller to turn on the power of the display device based on the received second packet without the display device being wirelessly connected to a terminal that provides the second packet,

wherein the second packet corresponds to an advertising packet that is generated based on a wake-up request and is not generated in response to the first packet.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein in response to receiving the second packet, the wireless communication unit to identify the terminal that provides the second packet, and

wherein after the controller determines that the identified terminal corresponds to the at least one registered wake-up device, the power of the display device is turned on.

3. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the information of the at least one registered wake-up device includes a media access control (MAC) address of the at least one registered wake-up device or a Bluetooth device address of the at least one registered wake-up device, and

the wireless communication unit is configured to identify the terminal that provides the second packet based on the MAC address of the terminal or the Bluetooth device address of the terminal, which is provided in the second packet.

4. The display device according to claim 3, wherein the wireless communication unit is configured to identify the terminal that provides the second packet when information of the display device is provided in the second packet.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein in response to receiving the second packet, the wireless communication unit to identify a terminal that provides the second packet based on information within the second packet, and the wireless communication unit is to transmit, to the controller, a trigger signal to turn on the power of the display device based on the received second packet.

6. The display device according to claim 1, comprising a power supply to supply power to the display device,

wherein the wireless communication unit is configured to control the power supply to turn on the power of the display device based on the received second packet.

7. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the second packet includes information regarding a specific function of the display device or an application execution request of the display device, and

wherein when the power of the display device is turned on, the controller is to execute the specific function or the application.

8. The display device according to claim 7, comprising a display,

wherein the second packet includes a screen mirroring execution request, and

wherein when the controller receives, from the terminal providing the second packet, image data corresponding to a screen displayed on the terminal when the power of the display device is turned on, the controller is to control the display to display a mirroring screen based on the received image data.

9. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the first packet includes encoding information, and

the wireless communication unit is configured to decode information of the received second packet based on the encoding information and turn on the power of the display device based on the decoded information of the received second packet.

10. The display device according to claim 9, wherein when the wireless communication unit is operating in the wake-up mode, the wireless communication unit is to periodically output the first packet including the encoding information, and

the outputted encoding information is to change each time the first packet is outputted from the wireless communication unit.

11. The display device according to claim 10, wherein the wireless communication unit is configured to decode the received second packet based on a plurality of encoding information within a plurality of first packets.

12. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the wireless communication unit includes a Bluetooth module configured to support Bluetooth low energy (BLE), and

the first packet corresponds to an advertising packet of the BLE, and the second packet corresponds to an advertising packet of the BLE.

13. The display device according to claim 12, wherein the Bluetooth module to continuously operate.
