Meanwhile, in FIG. 2, the synchronization signal generation unit 140 generates a synchronization signal for synchronizing the glasses apparatus 200 corresponding to each content according to the display timing of each content. That is, the synchronization signal generator 140 generates a synchronization signal for synchronizing the glasses device 200 at the display timing of the image frame for each content in the multi-view mode.

The interface unit 150 transmits the synchronization signal generated from the synchronization signal generator 140 to the spectacles 200. In this case, the interface unit 150 may transmit the synchronization signal to the eyeglasses 200 in various ways.

It may include information about an offset time for turning on (right shutter open offet), the right time for turning off the right eye shutter glass (right shutter open offset).

The offset time is delay information from the reference time set for each content to the on or off time of the left eye and right eye shutter glasses. That is, when the offset time elapses from the reference time point, the spectacle apparatus 200 turns on / off the left eye and right eye shutter glasses. For example, the reference time point may be a time point at which a vertical synchronization signal (ie, frame sync) is generated in an image frame. The information about the reference time point may be included in the transport packet, and the eyeglasses 200 may turn on / off the left eye and right eye shutter glasses based on the information about the reference time point included in the received transport packet. It is possible to set the time when is generated.

When pairing is completed, the interface unit 150 may register information about each eyeglass apparatus 200, for example, identification information of the eyeglass apparatus 200. Thereafter, the interface unit 150 may match display timing of each content with information about the glasses device and transmit a transmission packet to the corresponding glasses device 200 based on the identification information obtained through pairing.

The eyeglass apparatus 200 receiving the transmission packet may check the display timing based on the information included in the received transmission packet, and turn on / off the left and right eye shutter glasses according to the confirmed display timing.

For example, in a state where image frames of contents 1 and 2 are alternately displayed, the interface unit 150 generates a transmission packet according to the Bluetooth communication standard by using the synchronization signal generated from the synchronization signal generator 140. To the first and second eyeglasses 200. The transmission packet transmitted to the first glasses apparatus 200 includes time information and information on a reference time point for operating the left and right eye shutter glasses of the first glasses apparatus 200 to be turned on at the display timing of the content1.

In this case, the interface unit 210 may receive a synchronization signal in the form of a transport packet through the Bluetooth communication with the display apparatus 100. Here, the transport packet includes time information for turning on / off the first and second shutter glasses 250 and 260 of the spectacles 200 in synchronization with the display timing of the content. Since the information included in such a transport packet has been described in detail above, redundant description will be omitted.

The controller 220 controls the operation of the first half of the spectacles 200. In particular, the controller 220 transmits the synchronization signal received from the interface unit 210 to the shutter glass driver 273 to control the operation of the shutter glass driver 273. That is, the controller 220 controls the shutter glass driver 273 to generate driving signals for driving the first shutter glass unit 250 and the second shutter glass unit 260 based on the synchronization signal.

The shutter glass driver 273 generates a driving signal based on the synchronization signal received from the controller 220. In particular, the shutter glass driver 273 is based on the synchronization signal, and according to the display timing of one of the plurality of contents displayed on the display apparatus 100, the first shutter glass unit 250 and the second shutter glass unit ( 260 may be opened.

The first shutter glass unit 250 and the second shutter glass unit 260 turn on or off the shutter glass according to the driving signal received from the shutter glass driver 273. Specifically, the first shutter glass unit 250 and the second shutter glass unit 260 simultaneously open the shutter glass when one of the plurality of contents is displayed, and turn off all of the shutter glasses when the other contents are displayed. Let's do it. Accordingly, a user wearing the spectacles 200 may view a video image of one content.

Meanwhile, in the case of 3D content, the first shutter glass unit 250 and the second shutter glass unit 260 may alternately open and close each glass.

According to an embodiment, when an audio frequency channel related command is input from the user through the input unit 240, the interface unit 210 may receive an audio signal for the audio frequency channel input from the user. As such, when an audio signal for an audio frequency channel selected by the user is received, the audio output processor 270 processes the received audio signal in the form of an audible sound and outputs the audio signal through the speaker.

According to another embodiment, the audio output processor 270 may receive an audio signal stream through the interface unit 210. Specifically, as described in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the display apparatus 100 generates an audio signal for a plurality of contents as an audio signal stream, and generates each of the generated audio signal streams of the plurality of eyeglasses 200. It can transmit based on the identification information. In this case, the audio output processor 270 receives one audio signal stream among the audio signal streams for the plurality of contents through the interface unit 210. When such an audio signal stream is received, the audio output processor 270 processes the audio signal included in the received audio signal stream in the form of an audible sound and outputs it through a speaker.

According to another embodiment, the interface unit 210 may receive an audio signal stream in which audio signals for a plurality of contents are combined.

That is, when the plurality of audio signals are converted into one audio stream and transmitted, the audio signal receiver 271 substantially receives all of the plurality of audio signals.

Alternatively, when a communication channel is allocated to a specific channel, the audio signal receiving unit 271 may receive only an audio signal transmitted by the audio output unit of the display apparatus 100 performing a communication interface with the corresponding channel. That is, when the glasses device 200 is paired with the display device 100 via a Bluetooth communication method and is exchanging data via the Bluetooth method, the audio signal receiver 271 is a Bluetooth communication standard assigned by the display device 100. Only the audio signal transmitted through the channel according to can be received.

The distributor 272 separates a plurality of audio signals included in one audio stream and transmits the plurality of audio signals to the driver 273. The divider 272 may separate a plurality of audio signals included in one audio stream, which may select only audio signals having a specific frequency in a manner through frequency filtering. Alternatively, when the received audio signal is a stereo audio signal, the audio signal may be separated into one or more audio signals to implement stereoscopic sound of the stereo audio signal.

The driver 273 drives each speaker 274 so that each speaker 274 outputs the audio signal separated by the distributor 272.

The speaker 274 may be implemented with one or more speakers. That is, when the audio signal is mono, it is not necessary to implement stereoscopic sound, and therefore, one or more speakers output the same mono audio. On the other hand, when the separated audio signal is stereo, it is necessary to implement stereoscopic sound, and therefore, one or more speakers output stereo audio having different stereoscopic effects.

The audio control unit 275 outputs mono audio through at least one speaker when the received audio signal is a mono audio signal, and outputs stereo sound through a plurality of speakers when the audio signal is a stereo audio signal. The distributor 272, the driver 273, and the speaker 274 are generally controlled.

The speaker 274 may output stereo audio by outputting a left audio signal and a right audio signal through the first and second speakers 274-1 and 274-2. In general, the left audio signal and the right audio signal are output through the left and right sub speakers, and the main audio signal is output by the main speakers. Although only two left and right speakers are illustrated in FIG. 9, it is preferable to exemplarily show that the left audio signal and the right audio signal may be output.

When an audio stream including a plurality of audio signals is received, the distributor 220 separates the plurality of audio signals included in the received audio stream. Thereafter, the distributor 220 transmits an audio signal corresponding to a timing at which the left and right eye shutter glasses are opened to the driver 273 according to the synchronized signal among the plurality of separated audio signals. Accordingly, the speaker 274 may receive the audio signal corresponding to the timing of opening the left and right eye shutter glasses according to the synchronized signal from the driver 273 and output the mono audio.

Therefore, the plurality of eyeglasses may receive one audio signal stream among the audio signal streams output through the audio output unit and output the same through the speaker. Therefore, each user wearing the spectacles may listen to the audio related to the content he is currently viewing through the speaker provided in the spectacles.

According to another embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 7, the display device may generate an audio signal of a plurality of contents as one audio signal stream through one audio output unit and transmit the same to a plurality of eyeglasses. In detail, the display apparatus may generate an audio signal stream in which audio signals for a plurality of contents are combined in a time division manner through an audio output unit. In this case, the display apparatus divides the audio signal for the plurality of contents through the audio output unit, and generates an audio signal stream by allocating the plurality of time slots in a pattern synchronized with the arrangement pattern of the image frame of each content. As described above, the audio output unit which combines the audio signals for the plurality of contents in a time division manner to generate one audio signal stream communicates with the plurality of eyeglasses according to the wireless communication protocol. For example, the audio output unit may communicate with the plurality of eyeglasses via the Bluetooth communication method, which is a wireless communication method. In this case, it is preferable that the plurality of eyeglasses be paired with the display device.

Accordingly, the display device may transmit an audio signal stream to each eyeglass device through an audio output unit that communicates with the plurality of eyeglasses by the Bluetooth communication method. When such an audio signal stream is received, the spectacles device may extract only the audio signal assigned to the pattern corresponding to the display timing from among the audio signals for the plurality of contents included in the received audio signal stream and output the same through the speaker. Therefore, each user wearing the spectacles may listen to only the audio related to the content he is currently viewing through the speaker provided in the spectacles.
