Abstract

An apparatus and a method of a portable terminal for dual display of a broadcasting receiver by a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signal are provided. The method includes receiving at least one input signal from a broadcasting receiver, generating an output signal based on the received input signal, and transmitting the output signal to the broadcasting receiver so that the output signal can be output from the broadcasting receiver.

Claims

1. An operation method of a portable electronic terminal, the method comprising:

receiving at least one input signal from a broadcasting receiver;

selecting at least one of a plurality of multimedia contents corresponding to the received input signal;

processing the selected contents to an output signal;

generating the output signal based on the received input signal; and

transmitting the output signal to the broadcasting receiver so that the output signal can be output from the broadcasting receiver,

wherein the processing of the selected contents to the output signal further comprises;

updating the selected contents using a previously stored contents;

constructing at least a first overlay and a second overlay corresponding to the selected updated contents so that the output signal can be output in a dual screen mode to the broadcasting receiver; and

outputting the updated contents as the output signal, and

wherein the transmitting of the output signal to the broadcasting receiver comprises;

converting the generated output signal into High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) data;

converting the HDMI data into a Universal Serial Bus (USB) signal; and

forwarding the USB signal to the broadcasting receiver.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the input signal comprises a signal that is input to the broadcasting receiver by a user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving of the at least one input signal comprises analyzing the received input signal.

4. The method of claim 1,

wherein the processing of the selected contents comprises:

encoding the selected contents;

encrypting the encoded contents by Digital Rights Management (DRM);

decrypting the encrypted contents; and

decoding the decrypted contents.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the signal transmitting/receiving operation between the portable electronic terminal and the broadcasting receiver is performed in an Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication scheme.

6. An apparatus of a portable electronic terminal, the apparatus comprising:

a controller configured to analyze an input signal received from a broadcasting receiver, and to generate an output signal based on the received input signal, wherein the controller comprises;

a first driver configured to receive the received input signal;

a second driver configured to analyze the received input signal, to select at least one of a plurality of multimedia contents corresponding to the received input signal; and

a processor configured to process the selected contents and to output the output signal so that the output signal can be output in a dual screen to the broadcasting receiver, wherein the processor comprises;

a surfaceflinger module configured to receive the selected contents and update the selected contents using a previously stored contents;

a framebuffer module configured to receive the updated contents; and

an overlay module configured to receive the updated contents from the framebuffer module and to construct at least a first overlay and a second overlay corresponding to the selected contents; and

a communication module configured to receive at least one input signal from the broadcasting receiver, and to transmit the output signal to the broadcasting receiver so that the output signal can be output from the broadcasting receiver,

wherein the communication module comprises;

a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) transmitter module configured to convert the output signal into HDMI data; and

a Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) module configured to convert the HDMI data into a Universal Serial Bus (USB) signal; and

to forward the USB signal to the broadcasting receiver.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the input signal comprises a signal that is input to the broadcasting receiver by a user.

8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the processor comprises:

a user clip module configured to encode the selected contents, and to encrypt the encoded contents by Digital Rights Management (DRM); and

a multimedia framework module to decrypt the encrypted contents, and to decode the decrypted contents.

9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the signal transmitting/receiving operation between the portable electronic terminal and the broadcasting receiver is performed in an Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication scheme.
