Display apparatus and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a display part to display an image thereon;
a video signal processor to convert an input video signal into a signal having format displayable by the display part;
a network controller connectable to a network to transmit and/or receive data according to a predetermined protocol;
a data processor to process the data transmitted and/or received through the network controller into a video signal having a format processible by the video signal processor; and
a controller to control power to be supplied to the data processor according to a determination of whether data is transmitted and/or received by the network controller through the network.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display part to display an image thereon, a video signal processor to convert an input video signal into a signal having a format displayable by the display part, a network controller connectable to a network to transmit and receive data according to a predetermined protocol, a data processor to process the data transmitted and/or received through the network controller into a video signal processible by the video signal processor, and a controller to control power to be supplied to the data processor according to whether the data is being transmitted and/or received by the network controller through the network. Accordingly, the display apparatus transmits and receives data through a network and reduces power consumption.

7. A display apparatus, comprising:
-
a network controller connectable to a network to receive image data through the network;
a data processor to process the image data; and
a sensing unit to sense whether the network controller is in a receiving state or an idle state, and to control an amount of power supplied to the data processor based on the sensed state of the network controller. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A display apparatus connectable to a network to receive image data through the network and to display the received image data thereon, comprising:
-
a processing unit to process the image data received through the network to make the image data displayable; and
a controller to determine whether the image data is being received through the network and to cut off power supplied to the processing unit when the image data is not received through the network for a predetermined amount of time. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method of controlling a display apparatus having a display part to display an image thereon, a video signal processor to convert an input video signal into a format displayable by the display part, a network controller connectable to a network and to transmit and receive data according to a predetermined protocol, and a data processor to process the data transmitted and/or received through the network controller, the method comprising:
-
determining whether data is being received by the network controller through the network;
cutting off power supplied to the data processor if it is determined that the data is not being received by the network controller; and
supplying power to the data processor if it is determined that data is being received by the network controller.

19. A computer readable recording medium having executable codes to perform a method of controlling a display apparatus having a display part to display an image thereon, a video signal processor to convert an input video signal into a format displayable by the display part, a network controller to be connected to a network and to transmit and receive data according to a predetermined protocol, and a data processor to process data transmitted and/or received through the network controller, the method comprising:
-
determining whether data is being transmitted to the network controller through the network;
cutting off power supplied to the data processor if it is determined that the data is not being transmitted to the network controller; and
supplying power to the data processor if it is determined that data is being transmitted to the network controller.
