A display apparatus, an electronic device, an interactive system, and controlling methods thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes: a storage unit which stores peripheral device control information in which a remote control signal for controlling a peripheral device of the display apparatus matches with a control signal corresponding to a user voice; a voice collector which the user voice; a communicator which transmits the collected user voice to the display apparatus and receives the control signal corresponding to the user voice from the display apparatus; an infrared ray (IR) transmitter which transmits the remote control signal for controlling the peripheral device; and a controller which, if the control signal is received from the display apparatus, controls the IR transmitter to transmit a remote control signal corresponding to the received control signal among remote control signals stored in the storage unit, to the peripheral device.

Display apparatus, electronic device, interactive system, and controlling methods thereof

An energy harvesting apparatus includes a housing that includes an internal portion filled with dielectric liquid in a vacuum state, first and second electrode portions that are disposed to face each other in the housing and configured to be polarized with different polarities, a first layer that forms a path along the internal portion of the housing to allow the dielectric liquid and bubbles generated from the dielectric liquid to flow through the path, and a second layer configured to insulate the first and second electrode portions from the housing. The bubbles are generated from the dielectric liquid when thermal energy is applied to the housing. The first and second electrode portions may change a dielectric constant of the dielectric liquid when the bubbles move between the first and second electrode portions to generate current.

Energy harvesting apparatus and electronic apparatus having the same

Disclosed are a display apparatus and a method of setting up a channel of the same. The method includes receiving a channel retrieval request on a setting screen displayed on the display apparatus, retrieving a determined frequency band corresponding to the received channel retrieval request, and selecting one of a terrestrial broadcasting mode and a cable broadcasting mode in response to a retrieval result. Thus, automatically retrieving a frequency band corresponding to one connected broadcasting mode of a terrestrial broadcasting mode and a cable broadcasting mode is possible.

Display apparatus and method of setting up channel of the same

A method for controlling an external input and a broadcast receiving apparatus are provided. The method includes: setting a call word of an external input apparatus connected through an external input terminal; associating the call word with the external input terminal and storing the call word and the external input terminal in association with each other; in response to a voice of a user being input, recognizing the voice to determine whether the voice includes the call word; and in response to determining the voice includes the call word, enabling the external input terminal corresponding to the call word to communicate with the external input apparatus using the external input terminal corresponding to the call word.

Method for controlling external input and broadcast receiving apparatus

Provided is a media player comprising a connector to which a cable for transmitting a media signal from an external source is connected, and a user manipulator, the media player including a signal processor for processing the media signal transmitted through the cable; a UI generator for generating a setting menu for setting characteristics of the cable; and a controller for controlling the signal processor to process the media signal on the basis of the set characteristics of the cable inputted through the setting menu by the user manipulator. The media player and a control method thereof provides a user interface (UI) allowing a user to input information about cable characteristics, and process a signal according to the cable characteristics inputted by a user.
