A method for controlling a control device includes receiving, from a broadcast receiver, first information regarding a content which is currently provided through the broadcast receiver, and displaying a UI corresponding to the content which is currently provided through the broadcast receiver among a plurality of UIs based on the received first information. The plurality of UIs includes a plurality of UI items for controlling the broadcast receiver, respectively. A control command is transmitted to the broadcast receiver in response to a user input selecting an UI item among the plurality of UI items for controlling the broadcast receiver.

Control device, broadcast receiver, method for controlling broadcast receiver, and method for providing service

A control device is provided. The control device includes a first communication interface unit which transmits a control command in a first communication mode which uses a bi-directional wireless communication, a second communication interface unit which transmits a control command in a second communication mode which uses a unidirectional wireless communication, a state determination unit which determines a communication mode of the control device, a user interface unit which displays a user interface window which corresponds to a determined communication mode and receives the control command with respect to a broadcast receiver and a control unit which transmits the received control command according to the determined communication mode.

Control device and method for control of broadcast receiver

A control device is provided. The control device includes a communication interface unit which requests and receives menu information from a broadcast receiver, a determination unit which determines a control mode of the control device, a user interface unit which displays the received menu information in a user interface window according to the determined control mode, and a control unit which, if a command to control the broadcast receiver is input through the user interface unit, controls the communication interface unit to transmit the input control command to the broadcast receiver.

A control device is provided. The control device includes a user interface unit in which information of a broadcast receiver controlled through unidirectional wireless communication is entered, a searching unit which searches an infrared (IR) code set corresponding the broadcast receiver based on the entered information, a managing unit which registers the broadcast receiver as a controllable broadcast receiver within a home network based on the searched IR code set, and a first communication interface unit which, if a control signal for the registered broadcast receiver is received, transmits an IR code corresponding to the control signal from the IR code set corresponding to the registered broadcast receiver to the registered broadcasting receiver.

Control device and method of controlling broadcast receiver

A user terminal apparatus and a user interface providing method are provided. The user terminal apparatus providing a control mode to control an apparatus to be controlled and an application mode to operate applications includes a display unit which displays a control mode providing screen and an application mode providing screen, a user interface unit which receives an input of a user's order to select one of the control mode and the application mode, a communication interface unit which communicates with the apparatus to be controlled, and a controller which controls, if the control mode is selected, to display a control screen corresponding to the state of the apparatus to be controlled based on state information of the apparatus to be controlled which is received through the communication interface unit.

User terminal apparatus and UI providing method thereof

A display apparatus includes a display configured to display an image of a broadcasting program; a communication section configured to communicate with a server; a controller configured to control to transmit view information about a broadcasting program viewed by a user to the server, receive information about a broadcasting program recommended corresponding to the view information from the server, and provide schedule information of the recommended broadcasting program in accordance with a time slot in which the recommended broadcasting program is broadcasted.

Display apparatus, server and control method thereof

Display screen or portion thereof with icon

A method and apparatus for detecting a format of closed caption data contained in a broadcast signal automatically and displaying the caption data are provided. The method includes: (a) receiving information including closed caption data extracted from the broadcast signal, (b) detecting information on the format of the closed caption data from the received information including the closed caption data and determining the format of the closed caption data, and (c) decoding the closed caption data according to the determined format of the closed caption data and displaying the caption data to a user.
