Abstract

A method for remotely outputting audio in a display apparatus includes outputting Audio/Visual (AV) data, if a command to remotely output audio is input while the AV data is being output, stopping outputting audio of the AV data while outputting video of the AV data, and transmitting at least one of compressed audio data separated from the AV data and information regarding a time when transmission of the compressed audio data starts to an external apparatus.

Claims

1. A method for remotely outputting audio in a display apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving broadcast content of the Audio/Visual (AV) data, over a first channel, comprising compressed video data and compressed audio data;

decoding the AV data and outputting decompressed video data and decompressed audio data;

receiving a command from a user to remotely output audio while the AV data is being output;

stopping outputting decompressed audio data of the AV data and transmitting the compressed audio data and subtitle data relating to the compressed audio data to an external apparatus based on the command while the decompressed video data of the AV data over the first channel is being output at the display apparatus,

wherein the subtitle data is displayed at the display apparatus while the subtitle data is being transmitted to the external apparatus, and wherein the AV data includes bilingual broadcast content, and the audio data is first audio data separated from bilingual audio data included in the AV data;

displaying the subtitle data at the external apparatus; and

further comprising;

executing an electronic dictionary function at the external apparatus in response to an input command from the user which provides the electronic dictionary to the user; and

looking up a meaning of a word from the displayed subtitle data at the external apparatus based on the electronic dictionary.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the external apparatus decompresses the received compressed audio data to decode the audio data, and outputs the decoded data.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the subtitle data is data obtained from the AV data.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the external apparatus is a headset.

5. A method for outputting audio in a mobile apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving audio data of broadcast content of Audio/Visual (AV) data, over a first channel, comprising compressed video data and compressed audio data from an external apparatus;

decoding the AV data and outputting decompressed video data and decompressed audio data,

wherein the external apparatus stops outputting decompressed audio data of the AV data and transmits the compressed audio data and subtitle data describing content of the compressed audio data to the mobile apparatus based on a command from a user to remotely output audio that is received while the AV data is being output, while the decompressed video data of the AV data over the first channel is being output at the external device,

wherein the subtitle data is displayed at the external device while the subtitle data is being transmitted to the mobile apparatus; and

wherein the AV data includes bilingual broadcast content, and wherein the audio data is first audio data separated from bilingual audio data included in the AV data; and

further comprising;

displaying the text data on a display;

executing an electronic dictionary function at the external device in response to an input command from the user which provides the electronic dictionary to the user; and

looking up a meaning of a word from the displayed subtitle data at the external device based on the electronic dictionary.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the other content are one of video content, text content, and video content separated from the AV content, and

wherein the video content and video content separated from the AV content are not video data of the audio data.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5, further comprising:

receiving text data describing content of the audio data; and

displaying the text data on a display.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

providing an electronic dictionary to search for a word included in the text data which is displayed on the display.

9. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the other content is pre-stored content.

10. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the external apparatus is a headset.

11. A display apparatus, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive broadcast content of Audio/Visual (AV) data, over a first channel, comprising compressed video data and compressed audio data;

a separating apparatus configured to separate the AV data into the compressed audio data and the compressed video data;

a communication apparatus configured to communicate with an external apparatus;

an AV apparatus configured to decode the AV data and output decompressed video data and decompressed audio data output audio of the AV data;

a switch configured to stop the AV apparatus from outputting the decompressed audio data of the AV data and to switch the communication apparatus to transmit the compressed audio data and subtitle data describing content of the compressed audio data, to the external apparatus based on a command from a user to remotely output audio while the AV data is being output by the AV apparatus, while the decompressed video data of the AV data over the first channel is being output at the external apparatus,

wherein the subtitle data is displayed at the display apparatus while the subtitle data is being transmitted to the external apparatus; and

a processor configured to control the communication apparatus to display the subtitle data at the external apparatus,

look up a meaning of a word from the displayed subtitle data at the external apparatus based on the electronic dictionary.

12. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the external apparatus receives the compressed audio data, decompresses the received compressed audio data by decoding the audio data, and outputs the decompressed audio data.

13. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 11, further comprising a processor configured to control the communication apparatus to transmit text data describing the content of the audio data to the external apparatus.

14. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 13, wherein the text data is data obtained from the AV data.

15. A mobile apparatus, comprising:

a network communication apparatus configured to receive, from an external apparatus, one of audio data of broadcast content of Audio/Visual (AV) data, over a first channel, comprising compressed video data and compressed audio data and information regarding a time when transmission of the compressed audio data starts;

a processor configured to decompress received compressed audio data by decoding the audio data;

an audio output apparatus configured to output the decompressed audio data,

wherein the external apparatus stops outputting decompressed audio data of the AV data and transmits the compressed audio data and subtitle data describing content of the compressed audio data to the mobile based on a command from a user to remotely output audio that is received while the AV data is being output, while decompressed video data of the AV data over the first channel is being output at a display apparatus, and

wherein the subtitle data is displayed at the external apparatus while the subtitle data is being transmitted to the mobile apparatus; and

a display configured to output other content of the audio data, and

wherein the AV data includes bilingual broadcast content,

wherein the audio data is first audio data separated from bilingual audio data included in the AV data,
