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

A display device comprises a display unit, a communication unit and a processor, which identifies, based on an IR signal received through the communication unit, whether there is a pairing history of a remote controller and the display device, identifies whether there is a Bluetooth connection between the display device and the remote controller, counts a number of times the Bluetooth connection had been cut off between the display device and the remote controller, and controls, based on the counted number of times the Bluetooth connection had been cut off, the display unit so that a user interface (UI) for pairing with the remote controller is displayed.

Display device and display device control method

A remote controller enabled to control an external device includes a communication interface to communicate with the external device, an energy harvester to obtain an electrical energy, a power supplier to receive supply of the electrical energy from the energy harvester, and a processor configured to, based on a supply voltage of the power supplier being greater than or equal to a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value, control the communication interface to release communication connection established to communicate with the external device, and supply the electrical energy obtained by the energy harvester to the power supplier.

Remote controller and controlling method thereof

Provided are an electronic device and an operation method thereof. The electronic device includes: a first sound receiver configured to receive a sound input while power is supplied to the first sound receiver in a standby state; a trigger word/phrase recognizer configured to recognize whether the sound input received by the first sound receiver corresponds to a trigger word or phrase; a second sound receiver configured to receive a sound input by receiving supply of power based on the trigger word or phrase being recognized by the trigger word/phrase recognizer; and a data transceiver configured to output a first sound input signal supplied from the first sound receiver and a second sound input signal supplied from the second sound receiver.

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.

An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes: a microphone, an IC chip configured to, based on a level of a user voice received through the microphone being equal to or greater than a threshold value set as a first level, identify whether the user voice includes a wake-up-word (WUW), and a processor configured to, based on the WUW being included in the user voice, transmit a signal corresponding to the user voice to an external electronic apparatus, and based on the transmitting of the signal corresponding to the user voice being completed, set the threshold value as a second level lower than the first level, wherein the IC chip is configured to, based on a subsequent user voice being received through the microphone, identify whether a level of the subsequent user voice is equal to or greater than the threshold value set as the second level, and based on the level of the subsequent user voice being equal to or greater than the threshold value set as the second level, identify whether the subsequent user voice includes the WUW.

Electronic apparatus and control method thereof

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.
