Abstract

A user terminal apparatus, method for controlling the user terminal apparatus, and an expanded display system thereof are provided. The method includes in response to the user terminal apparatus being paired with an external display apparatus while an execution screen of an application is being displayed, obtain information on the display apparatus; and display a first screen of the application based on at least one piece of information on the application that the user terminal apparatus is executing and the obtained information on the display apparatus, and transmit data of a second screen of the application to the display apparatus.

Claims

1. A user terminal apparatus comprising:

a displayer, configured to display an execution screen of an application;

a communicator, configured to perform communication with a display apparatus; and

a controller, configured to, in response to the user terminal apparatus being paired with the display apparatus through the communicator while the displayer displays the execution screen of the application, obtain information regarding the display apparatus, control the displayer to display a first screen of the application based on at least one piece of information of the application and the obtained information on the display apparatus, and control the communicator to transmit data of a second screen of the application to the display apparatus.

2. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the information on the display apparatus includes at least one of a display type, a resolution, a response time, a color, a tone, a viewing angle, a color range, a connection angle, and a connection state of the display apparatus.

3. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the information regarding the application includes at least one of a category, a color properties per part, and a screen renewal speed per part of the application.

4. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the controller divides the execution screen of the application being displayed on the displayer into a plurality of elements based on the information regarding the application, configures the first screen with a first set of the plurality of divided elements, and configures the second screen with a second set of the plurality of divided elements.

5. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein the controller divides the execution screen of the application being displayed on the displayer into a plurality of elements based on a screen renewal speed per part, configures the first screen with elements that include video of the plurality of divided elements, and configures the second screen with elements other than the elements that include video.

6. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein the controller divides the execution screen of the application being displayed on the displayer into a plurality of elements based on color properties per part, configures the first screen with elements of a first color of the plurality of divided elements, and configures the second screen with elements of a second color of the plurality of divided elements.

7. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the controller controls the displayer to continue displaying the execution screen of the application as the first screen, and controls the communicator to transmit data regarding the second screen to the display apparatus,

wherein the data regarding the second screen includes additional information on the execution screen of the application.

8. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 7,

wherein the controller, when the execution screen of the application comprises a text, controls the communicator to transmit data regarding the second screen, that comprises at least one of the text or an image summarizing contents of the text to the display apparatus.

9. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 7,

wherein the controller, when the execution screen of the application comprises video contents, controls the communicator to transmit data regarding the second screen that comprises at least one of information regarding the video contents and subtitle regarding the video contents to the display apparatus.

10. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the controller, when a user input instructing a copy mode is input, controls the displayer so that the first screen is not displayed, and controls the communicator to transmit data on the execution screen of the application to the display apparatus.

11. The user terminal apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the controller, when the display apparatus does not support a user input, controls the communicator to transmit data corresponding to the user input to the display apparatus.

12. A method for controlling a user terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

obtaining information on an external display apparatus when the user terminal apparatus is paired with the external display apparatus while an execution screen of an application is displayed on the user terminal; and

displaying a first screen of the application based on at least one piece of information on the application that the user terminal apparatus is executing, and the obtained information on the external display apparatus, and

transmitting data of a second screen of the application to the external display apparatus.

13. The method according to claim 12,

wherein the information on the display apparatus includes at least one of a display type, a resolution, a response time, a color, a tone, a viewing angle, a color range, a connection angle, and a connection state of the display apparatus.

14. The method according to claim 12,

wherein the information on the application includes at least one of a category, a color properties per part, and a screen renewal speed per part of the application.

15. The method according to claim 12, further comprising:

dividing the execution screen of the application being displayed into a plurality of elements based on the information on the application; and

configuring a first screen with a first set of the plurality of divided elements, and configuring a second screen with a second set of the plurality of divided elements.

16. The method according to claim 15,

wherein the dividing divides the execution screen of the application being displayed into a plurality of elements based on a screen renewal speed per part, and

the configuring configures the first screen with elements comprising video contents of the plurality of divided elements, and configures the second screen with divided elements other than the video contents.

17. The method according to claim 15,

wherein the dividing divides the execution screen of the application being displayed into a plurality of elements based on color properties per part, and

the configuring configures the first screen with elements of a first color of the plurality of divided elements, and configures the second screen with a second color of the plurality of divided elements.

18. The method according to claim 12,

wherein the transmitting continues displaying the execution screen of the application as the first screen, and transmits data regarding the second screen to the external display apparatus, wherein the data regarding the second screen comprises additional information on the execution screen of the application.

19. The method according to claim 18, further comprising:

transmitting, to the display apparatus, data regarding the second screen that includes a text or image summarizing contents of the text included when the execution screen of the application comprises the text.

20. The method according to claim 18, further comprising:

transmitting, to the display apparatus, data regarding the second screen that includes information or subtitle regarding the video contents included when the execution screen of the application comprises the video contents.
