Abstract:
A television having an Internet browsing function including: a network interface configured to access a webpage on the Internet, a display, a memory, a user interface configured to receive command signals from a remote controller; and a controller. The controller is configured to access a webpages through a web-browser, and store corresponding URLs and accessed screens of the webpages. While displaying a broadcast program in the first area, the controller displays a thumbnail list in a second area, the thumbnail list including thumbnails generated from the accessed screens, wherein the second area is overlaps at least a portion of the first area. The controller displays, in response to a command signal for selecting a thumbnail, the corresponding webpage on an entire screen of the display through the web-browser, based on the corresponding URL stored in the memory.
Abstract:
A display device can include a tuner to receive a broadcast signal; a network interface to receive an application; an external device interface; a display module to display a broadcast program, the received application or video data received from the external device interface; and a controller to display the received broadcast program in a first area, receive a request for displaying a list from a remote controller, and display the list in a second area within the first area, the list includes a first item including information identifying a recently accessed application, a second item including information identifying a recently accessed broadcast program, or a third item including information identifying an external device recently connected to the display device or an access path of the external device, and a specific information item including a main screen of a last accessed webpage is included in the list.
Abstract:
A television controlled by a remote controller and including includes an infrared (IR) module to receive an IR signal from the remote controller; a radio frequency (RF) module to receive an RF signal from the remote controller; a network interface to receive metadata corresponding to a content to be displayed on a screen, the metadata including thumbnail image information, title information, actor information, genre information and synopsis information corresponding to the content; and a controller configured to change a power-off state of the television into a power-on state of the television based on the received IR signal and control a display to display a thumbnail image corresponding to the content based on the received metadata on the screen. Further, the controller is further configured to control the display to move a pointer on the screen based on the received RF signal containing information regarding movement of the remote controller, control the RF module to receive an RF signal corresponding to a designated key of the remote controller for selecting a thumbnail image corresponding to a specific content when the pointer is on the thumbnail image corresponding to the specific content, from the remote controller, control the display to display title information, actor information, genre information and synopsis information corresponding to the specific content according to the received RF signal corresponding to the designated key of the remote controller, and control the display to display related content information, the related content information relates to another content corresponding to the specific content based on the received metadata. In addition, when the related content information is selected by the pointer, the controller further controls the display to display a thumbnail image corresponding to the another content, a first item to identify a first source providing the another content and the second item to identify a second source providing the another content, the second source is different from the first source.
Abstract:
A network device can include a tuner configured to receive audio and video data of at least one broadcast program, a network interface configured to receive at least one thumbnail image corresponding the at least one broadcast program, a user interface configured to receive a first command for executing an electronic program guide from a remote controller, and a controller configured to output a signal for displaying the electronic program guide in response to the first command. Also, the electronic program guide can include the at least one thumbnail image within a designated time zone.
Abstract:
