The HIC packet is categorized into command, event and data packets. The HCI communication controller 103 commands the Bluetooth module 101 to start the inquiry by using the command packet. In addition, the HCI communication controller 103 outputs an event packet to the control unit 105 based on the result of the inquiry performed by the Bluetooth module 101.
The control unit 105 acquires information of relative Bluetooth device by using the event packet transmitted from the HCI communication controller 103 and the address of the Bluetooth module 101. The control unit 105 identifies whether the Bluetooth terminal is registered to the user profile based on the acquired information of the Bluetooth device. Then, the control unit 105 loads user profile of the corresponding Bluetooth device based on the acquired information of the Bluetooth device. The control unit 105 sets user viewing conditions or generates new user profile by using the information of the connected Bluetooth device to register a setting value of user viewing condition.
In addition, the control unit 105 measures strength of a signal (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI) received by the detected Bluetooth device and it compares the measured signal strength with a preset reference RSSI to determine a connection state of the detected Bluetooth device.
The memory 107 stores programs for connection with Bluetooth devices according to the present invention therein.

The user profile (P1) includes a bluetooth terminal list of a registered user, a setting value of user viewing conditions and information of the user priority order.
FIG. 3b is a diagram illustrating a distance according to RSSI measurement of the peripheral bluetooth device according to the present invention.
Bluetooth uses 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical band radio frequency with 1 Mbps of transfer speed to enable wireless data communication against obstacles. Bluetooth is Ad hoc network configured of connection among more than two piconets. Here, the piconet is a set of devices sharing identical channels to exchange information. The video display apparatus 100 may manage whether the bluetooth device 200 is positioned within a predetermined distance, whether it maintains connection or finishes the connection, the bluetooth device is linked to the piconet.
The video display apparatus 100 according to the present invention detects peripheral bluetooth devices 200 via inquiry scan/response by using the bluetooth module and it measures RSSI of the peripheral bluetooth devices 200. Then, the video display apparatus 100 compares the measured RSSI with a preset reference RSSI and it outputs the connection state of the detected bluetooth devices via the display unit as OSD message. If the RSSI transmitted from the detected bluetooth device 200 is larger than the preset reference value, it is determined that the detected bluetooth device is connected to the video display apparatus 100 and that the user is within a predetermined distance (S) for viewing TV. As a result, if the registered bluetooth device 200 is detected and connected to the video display apparatus 100, the user profile corresponding to the bluetooth device may be loaded automatically or based on user selection. At this time, it is preferable that the predetermined bluetooth communication distance (S) is 10 m.
