The present invention relates to an electronic frame and an image displaying method of an electronic frame. The electronic frame according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention detects, through an optical sensing unit, parts that are hidden by a frame, sets only a display area that is not hidden by the frame as a valid area, resizes an image so that the image matches the valid area of the display, and displays the image. Accordingly, even if the size of the frame is changed, a phenomenon in which a part of the image is not shown due to the frame could be prevented, as an image-resizing is adjustably performed.

Electronic frame and image displaying method of electronic frame

The present invention relates to a charging assembly for an electronic frame and a charging method for an electronic frame. The charging assembly of an electronic frame comprises: an electronic frame having a battery and displaying time information; a take-up reel provided on a rear surface of the electronic frame for winding or unwinding a charge cable; a weight which is connected to the take-up reel by the charge cable to be raised or lowered; and a charger arranged apart from the electronic frame, for charging the battery, wherein the weight is lowered at the time of charging to be electrically connected to the charger.

Charging assembly of electronic frame and charging method of electronic frame

An image display apparatus and a method for operating an image display apparatus are disclosed. According to embodiments of the present invention, the image display apparatus comprises: a microphone; a display unit configured to output a pointer on a screen; and a controller generating a representative image corresponding to a first voice signal and attaching the representative image to the pointer when the first voice signal is input into the microphone in a state in which the pointer is output on the screen. Here, the controller enables the representative image attached to the pointer to be displayed along a moving path of the pointer in response to the movement of the pointer on the screen and, when a specific object on the screen is selected using the pointer to which the representative image is attached, enables a function related to the representative image corresponding to the first voice signal to be applied to the selected specific object while a display corresponding to the selection is output.
