The size of the screen may be adjusted based on the size, one-eighth size, or one size information set by the user.

Position Adjustment 420 With respect to the user interface, a user may set a position of a screen including upper, lower, and left and right based on a preset criterion for content displayed on the display device. Also, the location of the content may be adjusted by dragging a location that the user wants to overlay. If the position is not adjusted by the user, the position of the overlaid content may be automatically arranged. At this time, if the size as well as the position is not set, the size may also be set automatically. For example, the content currently displayed on the display device may be analyzed and the size and position of the content overlaid on a line where the content is not disturbed may be automatically set.

In relation to the invert / return 430 user interface, the user may invert or return the size between contents displayed on the display device. For example, the user may invert the main content displayed on the display device and the sub-content overlaid. In this case, the main content may mean content displayed through a broadcast channel, and the sub content may mean content displayed by being overlaid on a part of the screen displayed through the broadcast channel. At this time, the size of the main content may be set and displayed larger than the size of the sub content, but the size of the main content and the size of the sub content may be reversed or returned to the original state according to a user setting. .

In connection with the return 440 user interface, the user can maintain the current state without manipulating the state of the content currently displayed on the display device 150 (eg, content overlaid with broadcast content). It is possible to return to the menu shown in FIG. 2.

Service Termination 450 With respect to the user interface, the user may terminate the overlay service. In addition, in relation to the user interface of the remote control off 460, the user may terminate the service control function.
