Abstract

A content transmission apparatus includes a communication module configured to carry out wireless communication with a partner apparatus, a detection module configured to detect a motion of the content transmission apparatus, and a transmission control module configured to control the communication module to transmit content to the partner apparatus and to transmit correction information corresponding to the motion of the content transmission apparatus detected by the detection module during transmission of the content to the partner apparatus.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

a transmitter and receiver configured to carry out wireless communication with a display device;

a sensing module configured to detect a moving direction of the apparatus; and

a control module configured to control the transmitter and receiver to transmit content to the display device and to transmit correction information during transmission of the content to the display device,

wherein the correction information includes information about a direction along which the apparatus is to be moved, the direction along which the apparatus is to be moved being opposite to the moving direction of the apparatus detected by the sensing module.

2. A content display system including a first apparatus and a second apparatus,

the first apparatus comprising:

a storage communication module configured to carry out wireless communication with the second apparatus,

a sensing module configured to detect a motion of the first apparatus, and

a first control module configured to control the storage communication module to transmit content to the second apparatus and to transmit correction information corresponding to the motion of the first apparatus detected by the sensing module during transmission of the content to the second apparatus; and

the second apparatus comprising;

a display communication module configured to carry out wireless communication with the first apparatus,

a display module configured to display the content and the correction information received by the display communication module,

a radio field strength detection module configured to detect a radio field strength received by the display communication module, and

a display control module configured to control a contrast of the display module based on the radio field strength detected by the radio field strength detection module.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the display control module is configured to set the display module to a first brightness value based a first radio field strength value detected by the radio field strength detection module, and to set the display module to a second brightness value darker than the first brightness value based on a second radio field strength value smaller than the first radio field strength value detected by the radio field strength detection module.
