  • Patent number: 9179142
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus including: at least one connector including at least one connection pin configured to be connected to an external device; an interface which interfaces transmission of signals to the connection pin through a first wiring formed between the interface and the connection pin; a switching unit which is switched on to transmit a signal through a second wiring which is formed differently from the first wiring to feedback the signal from the connection pin to the interface; a controller which controls the switching unit to allow the feedback of the signal through the second wiring to transmit a preset test signal from the interface to the first wiring at the time of inspecting a signal transmission state of the connection pin and the first wiring, and determines the signal transmission state based on a change of the test signal feedbacked to the interface through the second wiring.

  • Patent number: 7742107
    Abstract: A display apparatus comprises a display unit; a first processor for outputting a first signal including an on-screen-display (OSD) menu signal and a first image signal. A second processor has a picture-in-picture (PIP) function, the second processor processes one of a second image signal and the first signal and outputs the processed signal to the display unit. A control unit controls the first processor for interrupting an output of the first image signal and outputting the OSD menu signal and for controlling the second processor for PIP-processing to output the OSD menu signal as a main screen and the second image signal as a sub-screen in the case that a prescribed OSD menu function is selected when the display unit displays an image according to the second image signal. Thus, a display apparatus and a method for controlling the same are provided which can display a harmonized OSD menu screen without an additional cost.
