8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a broadcast receiving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 9 to 17 are views referred to for explaining the operation method of FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 8, the broadcast reception device 100 accesses an electronic device that stores home screen information (S810).

The broadcast receiving device 100 can connect to the electronic device by an electronic device connection input. Here, the electronic device may be an adjacent mobile terminal.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12 (a), a case in which the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving device 100 approach each other within a predetermined distance and are tagged is illustrated. Thereby, the broadcast receiving device 100 can be connected to the mobile terminal 600c by short-range magnetic field communication by the network interface unit 130.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 11C, the broadcast receiving device 100 may access the server 700 through the network 1107. For example, when specific user login information for the server 700 is input, the broadcast receiving device 100 may access the server 700 by wired communication or wireless communication by the network interface unit 130. You can.

Meanwhile, the home screen information stored in the electronic device may be home screen information used in the electronic device. Alternatively, the home screen information used in another electronic device may be stored by an electronic device connected to the broadcast receiving device.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12 (a), when the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving device 100 are approached within a predetermined distance from each other and are tagged, the mobile terminal 600c is the mobile terminal 600c. It is possible to store home screen information for a user.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the broadcast receiving device 100 accesses the server 700 through the network 1107 by the specific user login information of the broadcast receiving device 100, the server 700 , Among the home screen information stored therein, home screen information about the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user may be stored. Then, as described later, home screen information on the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user may be transmitted to the broadcast receiving device.

Meanwhile, the home screen information may include a background image and a plurality of execution items. For example, FIG. 10 (a) illustrates that the main home screen is displayed among the home screen information on the mobile terminal 600b. The main home screen 1010 of FIG. 10 (a) may include a background image 1011 and a plurality of application items 1012. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), when the main home screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 600b, when there is a screen switching input, the screen is switched to display a first sub-home screen including other background images and additional application items. Can be. As such, according to user settings and inputs, additional sub-home screens may be continuously displayed.

On the other hand, the home screen information described in the present specification, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), includes a background image 1011 and a main home screen including a plurality of application items 1012, as well as other backgrounds (not shown). It may be a concept including a sub-home screen including an image and additional application items.

Since the home screen information includes a background image and a plurality of execution items, the home screen information may be referred to as home launcher information or home screen launcher information. Hereinafter, the home screen information is collectively used as home screen information.

Next, the broadcast receiving device 100 receives home screen information from the connected electronic device (S820).

For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving device 100 are connected by short-range magnetic field communication, the network interface unit 130 of the broadcast receiving device 100 may include: The home screen information of the mobile terminal 600c may be received through the short-range magnetic field communication module.

In order to receive the home screen information, the mobile terminal 600c may be in a state of entering an external transmission mode for transmitting the used home screen information to the outside. When entering the external transmission mode, the home screen information of the user of the mobile terminal 600c is stored in the short-range magnetic field communication module in the mobile terminal 600c, and is tagged between the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving device 100 , The network interface unit 130 of the broadcast receiving device 100 may receive home screen information of the mobile terminal 600c through a short-range magnetic field communication module.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the broadcast receiving device 100 accesses the server 700 by specific user login information, the network interface unit 130 of the broadcast receiving device 100 is within the server 700. Home screen information on the mobile terminal 600a used by the specific user may be received.

To receive the home screen information, the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user may enter an external transmission mode as shown in FIG. 11B. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user may transmit home screen information of the mobile terminal 600a to the server 700 through the network 1105, and as shown in FIG. 11C, a broadcast receiving device When the (100) connects to the server 700 by specific user login information, the broadcast receiving device 100 receives the home screen information of the mobile terminal 600a from the server 700 through the network 1107. I can receive it.

Next, the broadcast receiving device 100 scales at least one of a background image in the home screen information or a plurality of execution items (S830).

The control unit 170 of the broadcast reception device 100 may scale at least one of a background image or a plurality of execution items in home screen information received through the network interface unit 130.

For example, when receiving the home screen, when the information of the electronic device on which the home screen was used, in particular, the screen setting information of the electronic device is received together, the control unit 170 of the broadcast receiving device 100, the broadcast receiving device In consideration of the screen setting information and the screen setting information of the electronic device, at least one of a background image or a plurality of execution items in the received home screen information may be scaled. Preferably, both the background image and the plurality of execution items can be scaled.

Here, the screen setting information may include at least one of resolution information, landscape mode / portrait mode information, aspect ratio information, and aspect ratio information.

Meanwhile, the scaling of the home screen may be a concept including at least one of switching an aspect ratio in the home screen, switching a horizontal or vertical mode of the home screen, or converting a background image in the home screen, an execution item image, or text size. .

Furthermore, the scaling of the home screen may be a concept that includes scaling only a partial area of the background image in the home screen or only some of the execution items.

It is also possible that such scaling is selectively performed by user input. It is also possible to divide a part of the home screen and scale only the divided area according to user settings.

Next, the broadcast receiving device 100 displays a home screen including a scaled background image or an execution item (S840).

The control unit 170 of the broadcast reception device 100 controls the display 180 to display a home screen including a scaled background image or an execution item.

For example, as compared to the home screen 1010 of the mobile terminal 600b of FIG. 10 (a), as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the scaled home screen 1020 displays the broadcast receiving device 100 ( 180).

As a result, it is possible to share a home screen used for a plurality of electronic devices for a specific user, thereby increasing user convenience.

In particular, the home screen of the mobile terminal can be used as the home screen of a broadcast receiving device such as a TV, and when a broadcast receiving device such as a TV is used, the broadcast receiving device can be used as if a user is using the mobile terminal.

On the other hand, it is also possible to display the home screen when there is a shared home screen display input while displaying a predetermined image. In this case, when a plurality of home screens are shared, the displayed home screen may be a home screen related to the displayed image. For example, when watching a sports video and there is a shared home screen display input, it is also possible to select and display a home screen including a sports image or a home screen including a sports related execution item among a plurality of home screens. .

Meanwhile, when the home screen is displayed, it may be displayed together with a broadcast video. Accordingly, at least one of the broadcast image or the scaled home screen may be displayed transparently.

Alternatively, only a part of the scaled home screen may be displayed. For example, according to a user input, only a part of the scaled home screen may be displayed together with the broadcast image. As a result, while viewing the broadcast video, it is possible to easily grasp at least a portion of the shared home screen.

Hereinafter, the operation method of FIG. 8 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 17 and the like.

9 (a) illustrates the home screen 910 of the first mobile terminal 600a used by the first user (eg, father). The home screen 910 may include a background image 911 and a plurality of execution items 912. In the drawing, although a reference number is not separately provided, it is exemplified to include a folder item, a music item, an Internet item, an image item, a messenger item, a camera item, and a video item. When any one of these items is selected, a corresponding operation may be performed.

Next, FIG. 9 (b) shows a scaled, that is, an enlarged home screen 920 displayed on the broadcast receiving device 100, that is, the TV, compared to FIG. 9 (a), used by the first user. Illustrate what works.

Home screen sharing between the first mobile terminal 600a and the broadcast receiving device 100 may be performed through one-to-one data sharing by short-range magnetic field communication or the like, as described above, or through an external server.

Specifically, the home screen 920 of FIG. 9 (b) may include an enlarged background image 921 and a plurality of enlarged execution items 922, compared to FIG. 9 (a).

On the other hand, depending on the difference in resolution between the mobile terminal and the broadcast receiving device, the processing speed of the execution item, or the difference in processable data, and whether various resolutions of the execution item are supported, an item executable in the mobile terminal may not be executable in the broadcast receiving device. have.

In this case, the broadcast receiving device 100, the control unit 170, determines the non-executable items among the execution items in the received home screen information, and distinguishes the determined non-executable items from other items when displaying the home screen. It can be controlled to display.

Here, the distinction display may be a concept including displaying an infeasible item, disabling, displaying an executable item, or displaying a combination thereof. Alternatively, the distinction display may be a concept including highlighting or not displaying an infeasible item.

FIG. 9 (b) illustrates that among the plurality of execution items, objects 932,934,936,938 indicating that a folder item, a music item, an Internet item, and an image item are not executable are respectively displayed around the corresponding item. As a result, the user can easily grasp items that cannot be executed when sharing the home screen.
