Application: Video display apparatus and terminal apparatus (Patent ID: US20230421833A1)
The patent filed by Hitachi Ltd. describes a terminal apparatus that can remotely control a video display apparatus. The terminal includes communication, signal receiving, memory, and display units. The communication unit transmits commands and receives status information, while the signal receiving unit decodes video content. The memory unit stores command content and the display unit shows the video content and other information. The terminal transmits a unique identification code when sending a command to set the video display apparatus, and when status information indicates a change in the displayed video content, the terminal decodes and displays the stored video content.
Claim 1 of the patent describes a mobile terminal that can control a video display apparatus remotely. The terminal includes network interface circuitry, a decoder, storage, display, and processor. The processor controls the transmission of a unique identification code when switching video content displayed on the video display apparatus and stores information about the video content. When status information indicates a change in the displayed video content, the terminal can receive the original video content based on the stored information and display it. Claim 2 further specifies that the storage can store video content, and the processor can control the storage of the original video content when it is received after being switched by another mobile terminal.
