An example electronic device includes a first communication unit, a second communication unit, and a processor for performing control such that the second communication unit operates in a scan state in which an undirected advertising packet can be received when a preset IR signal is received from a remote control device through the first communication unit, acquiring identification information of a target device from the undirected advertising packet when the undirected advertising packet is received from the remote control device in the scan state, and providing a user interface (UI) for guiding a Bluetooth connection with remote control device when the acquired identification information of a target device matches identification information of the electronic device.

Electronic device, remote control device and controlling method thereof

An electronic device and an operation method thereof are disclosed. The disclosed electronic device may include: a processor, a memory configured to store at least one instruction executable by the processor, and a communicator, wherein the communicator may include a first antenna, a second antenna, a first filter configured to allow a radio frequency (RF) signal in a first frequency band to pass therethrough, and a second filter configured to allow an RF signal in a second frequency band to pass therethrough, and the processor is configured, in response to the at least one instruction being executed by the processor, to: connect to an access point using one of the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and a third frequency band, and control a connection between the first antenna and the first filter and a connection between the second antenna and the second filter based on a communication channel between the electronic device and the access point and a communication channel of a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection, in response to performing the P2P connection with a peripheral device.

Electronic device for performing wireless communication and operation method thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device identifies, in a state paired with a first external device providing content data, an occurrence of event for pairing with a second external device; releases the pairing with the first external device and performs the pairing with the second external device; sets up the electronic device as a primary device for pairing with the first external device; transmits information about the primary device to the first external device to perform the pairing with the first external device; and based on the content data received form the first external device, outputs content and transmits the content data to the second external device.

Electronic device and control method therefor

An electronic device includes a first processor, a second processor; and a communication interface. The second processor transmits, via a hardware wire, state information indicating a state of the first processor to the communication interface; and based on the first processor entering a suspend mode from a normal mode, change the state information from a first value to a second value, and the communication interface, based on the state information being changed, disconnects the first processor from the communication interface by turning off power of an universal serial bus (USB) interface. Moreover, the second processor, based on the first processor entering the normal mode from the suspend mode, changes the state information from the second value to the first value, and the communication interface, based on the state information being changed, connects the first processor to the communication interface by turning on the power of the USB interface.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a first communication unit, a second communication unit, and a processor for performing control such that the second communication unit operates in a scan state in which an undirected advertising packet can be received when a preset IR signal is received from a remote control device through the first communication unit, acquiring identification information of a target device from the undirected advertising packet when the undirected advertising packet is received from the remote control device in the scan state, and providing a user interface (UI) for guiding a Bluetooth connection with remote control device when the acquired identification information of a target device matches identification information of the electronic device.

A display apparatus includes a display; a wireless communication module configured to wirelessly communicate in a first frequency band or a second frequency band; and a controller configured to control the wireless communication module to search for a radio signal transmitted from a wireless access point (WAP), to control the display to display identification information included in each of a plurality of radio signals received by the wireless communication module, and to display a message for guiding wireless communication with the WAP in the first frequency band on the display based on the user's selection of wireless communication with the WAP in the second frequency band. Accordingly, the display apparatus may guide the user's selection so as to perform wireless communication in a frequency band for optimal wireless communication based on the quality of wireless communication.

Display apparatus and method of controlling the same

A remote control apparatus is provided. The remote control apparatus includes a directional antenna, a communicator, and a processor configured to, based on a wireless signal being received from an external device through the directional antenna, identify an angle at which the wireless signal is received, based on the angle being within a predetermine range, obtain identification information of the external device by parsing the wireless signal, based on the identification information, identify whether the external device is registered to a server and based on identifying that the external device is not registered to the server, transmit a signal for requesting registration to the external device through the communicator.

Remote control apparatus and control method thereof

Remote control apparatus and the control method thereof

A remote control apparatus is provided. The remote control apparatus according to an embodiment includes an inputter comprising input circuitry, a communicator comprising communication circuitry, a microphone, and a processor configured to control the communicator to transmit a first Bluetooth packet requesting an electronic apparatus to output a non-audible sound based on a control command being input through the inputter in a state where the remote control apparatus is not paired, obtain identification information of the electronic apparatus based on the non-audible sound output by the electronic apparatus corresponding to the first Bluetooth packet being received through the microphone, and control the communicator to transmit a second Bluetooth packet including the obtained identification information and a turn-on command to the electronic apparatus.

Remote control apparatus, control method thereof and electronic system

A remote controller includes a communicator to broadcast a first request packet for identifying external apparatuses located around the remote controller, and based on a first response packet for the first request packet being received from each of a plurality of external apparatuses, identify the priorities of the external apparatuses based on the signal strength of the first response packet, and control the communicator to transmit a second request packet for identifying directivity to a first external apparatus among the external apparatuses according to the priorities, and based on a second response packet for the second request packet being received from the first external apparatus, identify directivity for the first external apparatus based on the second response packet, and based on identifying that the remote controller is directed to the first external apparatus, control the communicator to transmit a third request packet for Bluetooth pairing to the first external apparatus.
