Abstract

A method for controlling a terminal display device is disclosed and includes the following steps. An electronic device couples to a web server of the terminal display device via a network. The electronic device displays a web page transmitted from the web server. A user selects a function option of the web page shown on the electronic device. The web server of the terminal display device generates a command according to the selected function option. A control system of the terminal display device controls an operation of the terminal display device according to the command.

Claims

1. A control method of a terminal display device, comprising:

using an electronic device to couple to a web server of the terminal display device via a network;

displaying a web page transmitted from the web server on the electronic device;

selecting a function option of the web page shown on the electronic device;

generating a command according to the selected function option by the web server of the terminal display device; and

controlling operation of the terminal display device according to the command by a control system of the terminal display device.

2. The control method of claim 1 further comprising a step of transmitting the command to the control system by an intermediary interface.

3. The control method of claim 1, wherein the function option is a function of a button key on a remote controller of the terminal display device.
