Abstract

An electronic apparatus including: a display unit; a communication unit which communicates with a server to which at least one emulating device is connected locally, through a network; a storage unit which stores therein a predetermined application; and a controller which is connected to the server and transmits the application stored in the storage unit to the emulating device, and receives from the emulating device an execution image of the application processed and executed by the emulating device and displays the execution image on the display unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
 a display; 
 a communicator configured to communicate with a server to which a plurality of emulating devices are connectable, through a network; 
 a storage configured to store therein a defined application; and 
 a controller configured to control the communicator to transmit a command, to the server for requesting connection to one of the plurality of emulating devices, in response to transmitting the command, receive information for a user interface (UI) from the server, the UI being provided for a user to select one of the plurality of emulating devices, transmit the defined application stored in the storage to an emulating device selected through the UI via the server, receive an execution image of the defined application from the selected emulating device via the server, and display the execution image on the display, 
 wherein the execution image is based on the defined application processed and executed by the emulating device. 
 
     
     
       2. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the emulating devices comprises hardware specifications of an upgrading apparatus connected to a display apparatus to upgrade preset image processing operation of the display apparatus. 
     
     
       3. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of emulating devices are connected to the server, and at least a portion of the plurality of emulating devices comprises different hardware specifications from a remaining portion of the plurality of emulating devices. 
     
     
       4. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the emulating device comprises a dongle to be connected to the server. 
     
     
       5. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the information for a user interface(UI) received from the server is a list of the plurality of emulating devices connected to the server. 
     
     
       6. A control method of an electronic apparatus comprising:
 requesting a server to connect to a plurality of emulating devices through a network; 
 receiving information for a user interface (UI) image from the server in response to the requesting; 
 displaying the UI provided for a user to select one of the emulating devices; 
 transmitting a defined application stored in the storage to an emulating device selected through the UI via the server; and 
 receiving an execution image of the defined application from the selected emulating device via the server and displaying the execution image on the displaying,
 wherein the execution image is based on the defined application processed and executed by the emulating device. 
 
 
     
     
       7. The control method according to  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the emulating devices comprises hardware specifications of an upgrading apparatus connected to a display apparatus to upgrade preset image processing operation of the display apparatus. 
     
     
       8. The control method according to  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of emulating devices are connected to the server, and at least a portion of the plurality of emulating devices comprises different hardware specifications from a remaining portion of the plurality of emulating devices. 
     
     
       9. The control method according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one emulating device comprises a dongle to be connected to the server. 
     
     
       10. The control method according to  claim 6 , wherein the information for a user interface(UI) received from the server is a list of the plurality of emulating devices connected to the server. 
     
     
       11. A system for inspecting an application comprising:
 at least one client; 
 a server configured to communicate with the a plurality of clients through a network; and 
 a plurality of emulating devices configured to connect to the server, 
 wherein the plurality of clients requests connection to one of the plurality of emulating devices, receives information for a user interface (UI) from the server, the UI being provided for a user to select one of the plurality of emulating devices, transmits a defined application stored in the storage to an emulating device selected through the UI via the server, and receives an execution image of the defined application from the selected emulating device via the server to display, 
 wherein the execution image is based on the defined application processed and executed by the emulating device. 
 
     
     
       12. The system according to  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the emulating devices comprises hardware specifications of an upgrading apparatus connected to a display apparatus to upgrade preset image processing operation of the display apparatus. 
     
     
       13. The system according to  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of emulating devices are connected to the server, and at least a portion of the plurality of emulating devices comprises different hardware specifications from a remaining portion of the plurality of emulating devices. 
     
     
       14. The system according to  claim 11 , wherein the information for a user interface(UI) received from the server is a list of the plurality of emulating devices connected to the server.
