Next, the process of displaying the applications installed in the plurality of terminals connected to the image display apparatus on the display unit 160 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an image display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

First, the controller 150 checks whether the terminal is connected to the image display device (S101). According to an embodiment, the controller 150 may check whether at least one terminal is connected to the image display device. That is, a plurality of terminals may be connected to the image display device simultaneously or sequentially. Thereafter, the controller 150 displays an icon of an application installed in the connected terminal on the display 160 (S103). In an embodiment, when an application installed in the connected terminal is duplicated, the controller 150 recognizes this and may display only an icon corresponding to one application, even when an application installed in the connected terminal is overlapped. The controller 150 may display all icons corresponding to the duplicated applications. Hereinafter, the embodiment will be described on the assumption that all the icons of the respective applications are displayed on the display unit 160 even when the applications installed in the connected terminal are duplicated.

According to an embodiment, when a plurality of terminals are connected to the image display device, the controller 150 may display an icon of an application installed in each terminal by dividing an area of the display unit 160 for each terminal. In this case, basic information about the corresponding terminal may be displayed in an area of each partitioned display unit 160. The basic information of the terminal may mean information on a model name, a communication method, and the like of the terminal.

Thereafter, the controller 150 receives one of the icons corresponding to the application displayed on the display 160 through the user input unit 120 or the user input interface unit 130 (S105). The controller 150 may select an application by receiving a command signal from the remote controller through the user input interface unit 130.

Thereafter, the controller 150 checks whether an application corresponding to the selected icon is a duplicate application installed at each terminal (S107). The controller 150 may check whether the selected application is a duplicate application by comparing the applications installed in each terminal.

If the application corresponding to the selected icon is identified as a duplicate application installed in each terminal at the same time, the controller 150 determines which terminal among the plurality of terminals to execute the application (S109).

In an embodiment, a criterion for determining which terminal the application is executed on may be based on the best performing application, and the best performing application may mean the most recently updated version of the application.

In one embodiment, the determination criteria for which terminal to run the application may be based on the application installed in the terminal having the best performance. Here, the terminal having the best performance may mean a terminal having the fastest data communication speed or the lowest occurrence of communication failure. The controller 150 may check the communication status of each terminal in real time and control the application to be executed through the terminal having the best performance.

In an embodiment, the determination criteria for which terminal to execute the application may be based on the application of the terminal selected through the user input unit 120. For example, if the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 are simultaneously connected to the video display device, and the same first application is installed in each of the first and second terminals, the user may have two identical first applications. One application can be selected by one's own selection. Here, although two terminals have been described as an example, a case where two or more terminals are connected to an image display device is also included.

In an embodiment, a determination criterion for which terminal to execute an application may be based on an application executed based on a state of charge of each terminal. That is, the controller 150 may execute an application installed in the terminal having the best state of charge in consideration of the state of charge of each terminal connected to the image display device.

For example, when the battery charge rate of the first terminal 200 is 90% and the battery charge rate of the second terminal 300 is 50%, the battery charge state of the first terminal 200 is better. The controller 150 may execute an application installed in the first terminal 200. If the battery charging rate of the first terminal 200 decreases by about 20% during the application execution of the first terminal 200, the controller 150 stops the execution of the application through the first terminal 200. The first and second terminals may be controlled to execute an application through the second terminal 300. Here, 20% is merely an example and may be changed according to a user's setting.

According to an embodiment, the controller 150 may display the charging state of each terminal on the display 160. The user may check the charging state of each terminal displayed on the display unit 160 to select a terminal having a good charging state, and allow the application to be executed through the selected terminal.

In an embodiment, the determination criteria for which terminal to execute the application may be based on an application installed in a terminal having a lower cost of using a communication method. For example, when the communication method currently used by the first terminal 200 is a wireless LAN (WIFI) and the communication method currently used by the second terminal 300 is a cellular network using a 3G network, the wireless LAN is 3G. Since the usage fee is lower than that of a cellular network using a network, an application executed in the video display device becomes an application installed in the first terminal 200.

According to an embodiment, when the image display device and the first and second terminals are connected, the controller 150 may display the communication method currently used by the first and second terminals on the display unit 160. The user can check this to determine which terminal to run the application through. According to an embodiment, the controller 150 may display, via a pop-up window, which terminal is a terminal using a communication method in which a low usage fee is charged when the image display apparatus and the first and second terminals are connected. The user can select a terminal using a communication method having a lower usage fee by checking a pop-up window, thereby reducing the usage fee of the terminal.

In an embodiment, the determination criteria for which terminal to run the application may be based on the application of the terminal with less CPU usage. For example, it is assumed that the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 are connected to the image display device, and the first application is executed through the first terminal 200. In addition, it is assumed that the second application is executed through the second terminal 300. The first application and the second application are the same application. At this time, when the user performs a task other than the execution of the first application through the first terminal 200 while the first application is running through the first terminal 200, the data usage of the first terminal 200 is used. Since the controller 150 recognizes this, the controller 150 stops the execution of the first application through the first terminal 200 and controls the first and second terminals to perform the second application through the second terminal 300. can do.

Thereafter, the controller 150 executes the application through the determined terminal (S111).

According to an embodiment, the controller 150 may turn off or turn on the display screen of the terminal on which the application is executed. That is, when the application is executed, the user can view the application execution screen through the display unit 160 of the image display device, so that the user can turn off or keep the display screen of the terminal on which the application is executed as needed. have.

If it is confirmed that the application corresponding to the selected icon is not a duplicate application installed in each terminal at the same time, the controller 150 executes the selected application through the corresponding terminal (S113).

Referring to FIG. 3, the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 are connected to the image display device 100. The display unit 160 of the image display device 100 includes a first application display area 161 and a second application display area 162. Icons of applications installed in the first terminal 200 are displayed in the first application display area 161, and icons of applications installed in the second terminal 300 are displayed in the second application display area 162.

FIG. 4 is the most recent when an application installed in the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 overlaps with the image display device 100 connected to the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300. The process of displaying the icon of the updated application on the display unit 160 is described.

Referring to FIG. 4, the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 are connected to the image display device 100. Unlike in FIG. 3, the display 160 displays an icon of an application installed in the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 without a partitioned area. However, when the first application A among the applications installed in the first terminal 200 and the second application B among the applications installed in the second terminal 300 are the same, the most recently updated version of the application ( The icon of A) is displayed on the display unit 160.

The user can use the most recent version of the application only by connecting the video display device without any additional process.

FIG. 5 is a state of charge when an application installed in the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 overlaps with the image display device 100 connected to the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300. A diagram illustrating a process of executing an application installed in a good terminal.

Referring to FIG. 5, the first terminal 200 and the second terminal 300 are connected to the image display device 100. In the first application display area 161 of the display 160, basic state information of the first terminal 200 including icons of applications installed in the first terminal 200 and a charging state of the first terminal 200 is displayed. In the second application display area 162, basic status information of the second terminal 300 including icons of applications installed in the second terminal 300 and a state of charge of the second terminal 300 is displayed. have. In this case, it is assumed that the battery charging rate of the first terminal 200 is 90%, and the battery charging rate of the second terminal 300 is 50%.

If the first application A among the applications installed in the first terminal 200 and the second application B among the applications installed in the second terminal 300 are the same, the icon of the second application B is selected.
