Here, the program information may include one or more of the name of the program, the ID of the program, the channel of the program, the start time of the program, and the end time of the program. Hereinafter, one or more programs will be referred to as sleep reservation target programs.

In operation 220, the processor 120 may output one of the sleep reservation target programs through the output unit 140. The user can watch the outputted program. Hereinafter, a program output by the imaging apparatus 100 is called a viewing program.

In operation 230, the processor 120 may output the EPG through the output unit 140. Step 230 may be executed when the user selects a function for outputting the EPG by manipulating a button or a remote controller attached to the imaging apparatus 100.

In operation 240, the user may select a sleep reservation program among sleep reservation target programs. That is, the sleep reservation program may be a program selected as a standard for setting a sleep reservation time by the user among the sleep reservation target programs. The processor 120 may receive information indicating that the user selects a sleep reservation program from a button of the remote controller or the image apparatus 100.

Examples of a method of selecting a sleep reservation program are described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 below.

When the user selects the sleep reservation program, the sleep reservation may be set, changed, or canceled by the steps 250 to 284 described below. The setting of the sleep reservation may mean that the sleep reservation time is determined. Therefore, the following "setting of sleep reservation" and "setting of sleep reservation time" may be used interchangeably with each other in the same sense.

In step 250, the processor 120 checks whether a sleep reservation is set. If steps 210-290 have been executed repeatedly, the sleep reservation may have already been set in the previous execution of steps 210-290.

If a sleep reservation is set, step 260 may be executed. If the sleep reservation is not set, step 255 may be executed.

First, the case where the sleep reservation is not set will be described.

In the description of steps 260 to 264 below, the sleep reservation program selected by the user is referred to as a first program. Here, the first program may be a program that the user is watching, for example, a program output in step 220, among sleep reservation target programs. In addition, the first program may be a program selected by the user among the programs in the EPG output in step 230.

In operation 260, the processor 120 may output a pop-up window including a setting confirmation message through the output unit 140. The setting confirmation message may be a message for confirming whether to set the end time of the first program to the sleep reservation time. In addition, the pop-up window may provide an interface to select "Yes" (or "OK") or "No" (or "Cancel"). "Yes" may mean that the user sets the sleep reservation time. "No" may mean that the user does not set the sleep reservation time.

In steps 262 to 264, whether to set the sleep reservation time may be determined based on the user's selection of the setting confirmation message.

In operation 262, the processor 120 may receive a response from the user to confirming the setting of the sleep reservation time. If the user's response is "yes", step 264 may be executed. If the user's response is "no", step 290 may be executed.

In operation 264, the processor 120 may set an end time of the first program as a bedtime reservation time of the imaging apparatus 100.

The processor 120 may store information about the first program in the memory 130. Here, the information about the first program may include an ID of the first program.

In addition, the processor 120 may store the set sleep reservation time in the memory 130.

Next, the case where the sleep reservation is set will be described.

Having a sleep reservation set may mean that step 264 was previously executed as steps 210-290 of FIG. 2 are repeated. Thus, in the description of steps 255 to 284 below, the previous sleep reservation program that was selected by the user to set the sleep reservation time in the previous iteration is referred to as the first program, and by the user in the current iteration. The selected current sleep reservation program is called a second program.

In operation 255, the processor 120 may check whether the first program and the second program are the same program. The processor 120 may check whether the first program and the second program are the same program by comparing the ID of the first program and the ID of the second program. The processor 120 may extract the ID of the first program from the memory 130. Here, the ID may be replaced with other information of the program (eg, channel and title, etc.).

Steps 272 and 274 can be executed if the first program and the second program are different programs. In steps 272 and 274, the processor 120 may change the sleep reservation time to the end time of the second program. That is, when the user consecutively selects different programs as the sleep reservation program, the processor 120 may update the sleep reservation time using the end time of the later selected program.

If the first program and the second program are the same program, steps 282 and 284 may be executed. In steps 282 and 284, the processor 120 may cancel the setting of the sleep reservation time. That is, when the user continuously selects the same program as the sleep reservation program, the processor 120 may cancel the setting of the sleep reservation time.

In operation 270, the processor 120 may output a pop-up window including a change confirmation message through the output unit 140. The change confirmation message may be a message for confirming whether to change the sleep reservation time to the end time of the second program. In addition, the pop-up window may provide an interface to select "Yes" (or "OK") or "No" (or "Cancel"). "Yes" may mean changing the bedtime reservation time. "No" may mean not changing the bedtime.

In steps 272 to 274, the processor 120 may determine whether to change the sleep reservation time based on the user's selection of the change confirmation message.

In step 272, the processor 120 may receive a user response to confirming the change of the bedtime reservation time. If the user's response is "yes", step 274 may be executed. If the user's response is "no", step 290 may be executed.

In operation 274, the processor 120 may set an end time of the second program as a bedtime reservation time of the imaging apparatus 100.

The processor 120 may store the information about the second program in the memory 130 in place of the information about the first program. Here, the information about the second program may include an ID of the second program.

In addition, the processor 120 may store the changed sleep reservation time in the memory 130.

In operation 280, the processor 120 may output a pop-up window including a cancellation confirmation message through the output unit 140. The cancellation confirmation message may be a message for confirming whether to cancel setting of the sleep reservation time. In addition, the pop-up window may provide an interface to select "Yes" (or "OK") or "No" (or "Cancel"). "Yes" may mean that the setting of the sleep reservation time is canceled. "No" may mean that the setting of the sleep reservation time is not canceled.

In steps 282 to 284, the processor 120 may determine whether to cancel the setting of the sleep reservation time based on the user's selection for the cancellation confirmation message.

In step 282, the processor 120 may receive a user response to confirming the cancellation of the setting of the sleep reservation time. If the user's response is "yes", step 284 may be executed. If the user's response is "no", step 290 may be executed.

In operation 284, the processor 120 may cancel setting of the sleep reservation time.

The processor 120 may delete information about the first program in the memory 130. Here, the information about the first program may include an ID of the first program.

In addition, the processor 120 may delete the sleep reservation time in the memory 130.

In operation 290, the processor 120 may check whether the sleep reservation time is set and whether the current time reaches the sleep reservation time.

If the sleep reservation has been set and the current time reaches the sleep reservation time, at step 295, the processor 120 may execute the sleep reservation.

As an operation of executing the sleep reservation, the processor 120 may stop the output of the viewing program, cut off power supplied to the imaging apparatus 100, or stand by for an operation state of the imaging apparatus 100. -by) state can be switched. In addition, the processor 120 may delete the sleep reservation time in the memory 130 before executing the sleep reservation.

If the sleep reservation is not set or the current time does not reach the sleep reservation time, step 210 may be repeated. Here, it is exemplary that the steps 210-295 are repeated in step 210. The repetition of steps 210-295 can be repeated from one of steps 210, 215, 220, 230, and 240. Further, step 210, step 215, step 220, step 230, step 240, steps 250 to 250, step 290 may optionally be executed and executed in parallel with each other. Can be.
