Disclosed is a digital broadcast receiver including a Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) module for receiving digital broadcastings of multiple channels; an output unit for outputting voice and image signals of the digital broadcastings; and a controller for controlling the DMB module to receive the digital broadcastings while successively and automatically switching the channels at a predetermined time interval, and controlling the digital broadcasting data received in the DMB module to be transmitted to the output unit.

Apparatus for receiving digital multimedia broadcasting channels

While a user uses one service in a digital multimedia broadcasting receiving terminal, there is implemented a function for suspending the service currently being used and enabling a different service to be used when the different service is provided. A function for enabling a call service to be used during a broadcast service is implemented. A call screen is displayed in a state in which a broadcast service connection is maintained, such that the user can use a new call service without stopping the broadcast service currently being used. In this concurrent service, switching between the call screen and a broadcast screen is possible. This display method can prevent images of the respective services from overlapping with each other and can provide one service without stopping another service.

Method for providing a call service and a broadcast service, and digital multimedia broadcasting terminal therefor

A method for displaying digital broadcast channel information on a digital broadcasting receiver, which includes searching for an unused reserve communication path among all communication paths over which digital broadcast data is transmitted; sequentially extracting identifiers of channels other than the one currently selected from digital broadcast channel guide information and receiving video data of a program, which is being broadcast on a channel corresponding to a first extracted identifier, through the reserve communication path; processing the received video data to extract image data from the video data, extracting digital broadcast channel guide information corresponding to the image data and displaying the extracted information together with the image data; and receiving video data of a channel subsequent to the channel corresponding to the displayed image data through the reserve communication path and processing the video data.

Method and digital broadcasting receiver for displaying digital broadcast channel information

Disclosed is a system for recognizing a language letter inputted in a pen drag direction without switching a language mode in a terminal equipped with a touch screen having a plurality of letter input areas displayed thereon. The letter input areas have first language consonant letters that are divided into a plurality of pairs of basic and extended consonant letters. The basic and extended consonant letters of the first language are correspondingly mapped and assigned to a second language. A consonant letters-assigned to a letter input area corresponding to a touch pen input and type is selected and displayed when the touch pen input is present on the letter input areas. When the touch pen input is a pen drag in a vowel letter direction and is present on the letter input areas previously assigned vowel letter of the first language is displayed according to the vowel letter direction.
