Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In particular, the present invention can be configured by combining at least any one of individual components, individual functions, or individual steps included in each embodiment.

A schematic configuration of the entire system including the display control apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG.

In this figure, the broadcasting server 200 provides broadcasting contents, for example, a server provided in a terrestrial broadcasting station or a server provided in an IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) service provider.

The display control apparatus 100 may receive the broadcast content from the above-described broadcast server and allow the viewer to view the broadcast content. For example, the display control apparatus 100 may be a television 101 itself including a tuner capable of selecting a channel of the broadcast content, Or a set-top box 102 connected to a television, a wired or wireless broadcasting communication network, and transmitting the broadcasting contents received from the broadcasting communication network to a television set for display.

Hereinafter, the display control apparatus 100 will be described as an example of the television itself.

An example of a functional block of the display control apparatus 100 is as shown in Fig.

The display control device 100 includes a collecting unit 110, a schedule table generating unit 120, a display control unit 130, a storage unit 140, and a display unit 150. As shown in FIG.

The display unit 150 displays a broadcasting schedule table according to a user selection as well as received broadcast content, and may be configured to include an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) having low power consumption, for example. The function of receiving the broadcast content and displaying it on the display unit 150 for each channel corresponds to a known technology, so that the configuration is omitted for the sake of convenience in this embodiment.

The storage unit 140 stores broadcast content or program schedule table data received from the outside.

The collection unit 110 performs a function of receiving broadcast content and a function of extracting or receiving broadcast program schedule table data included in the broadcast content or from a separate server. So that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The broadcast program schedule table data may include various information on the program name of the broadcast content, the broadcast start time, the broadcast end time, the broadcast progress, the performer, and the like.

The schedule table generating unit 120 generates a schedule table having a 'now broadcast area' and a 'later broadcast area' for each channel using the broadcast schedule information collected by the collecting unit 110.

Here, the broadcast area is an area in which the representative content related to the broadcast content broadcasted at the current time in the corresponding channel is displayed.

For example, in the current broadcast area corresponding to the 010 channel, the representative content for the broadcast content currently being broadcasted on the 010 channel is displayed, and the current broadcast area corresponding to the 011 channel is displayed on the broadcast channel Representative content for the content is displayed.

The representative article content can be, for example, at least one of a previously stored representative image, a real-time captured image, and a real-time video. As a specific example, in the current broadcast area corresponding to the 010 channel, a representative image (which may be a previously stored broadcast content advertisement image) related to the broadcast content currently being broadcasted on the 010 channel, A captured image or a real-time video.

When the representative content is a real-time moving image, it is possible to view broadcasting contents broadcasted on the corresponding channel although the size is relatively small as compared with the entire screen of the display unit 150. [

As another example, the representative content of the current broadcast area where the focusing mark is located is a real-time video for the broadcast content being broadcasted at the current time in the corresponding channel, and the representative content of the current broadcast area in which the focusing mark is not located corresponds to the corresponding channel May be a real-time captured image of the broadcast content currently being broadcast at the current time.

Here, the focusing mark is for displaying the broadcast content selected by the user. For example, the focusing mark can be moved according to the user's key operation. A detailed description of the focusing mark will be given later.

An example of the program table generating unit 120 generated by the program table generating unit 120 is as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the channel region 151 is separately classified. However, the broadcast region 152 may be configured to include channel information.

Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of next broadcasting areas are included in a broadcasting area after each channel.

For example, in the 010 channel, three next broadcasting areas, that is, a first next broadcasting area, a second next broadcasting area, and a third next broadcasting area are displayed. In the 014 channel, two next broadcasting areas, And the second next broadcast area are displayed.

The next broadcast area included in the subsequent broadcast area is an area in which basic information related to the broadcast content scheduled to be broadcast on the corresponding channel is displayed. Here, the basic information on the broadcast content includes, for example, a broadcast program name, a broadcast time, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, in generating the broadcast schedule table, the schedule table generator 120 may configure the current broadcast zones for respective channels to have the same fixed size without considering the broadcast time of the broadcast content, The next broadcast area included in the area may be configured to have a size proportional to the broadcast time of the broadcast content.

That is, the size of the broadcast area is configured to have the same size irrespective of the broadcast time (i.e., the broadcast start time and the broadcast end time) of the broadcast content displayed in the current broadcast area, Is proportional to the broadcast time of the broadcast content displayed in the area.

For example, the next broadcast area in which the information on the two-hour broadcast content is displayed can be configured to be twice as large as the next broadcast area in which the information on the one-hour broadcast content is displayed.

Thereafter, a larger number of next broadcast areas may be displayed in the broadcast area than the one shown in FIG. 3 according to the user's selection, or the next broadcast area after the time zone shown in FIG. 3 may be displayed through scrolling . When scrolling, the next broadcast area on the front side (i.e., the left side) may not be displayed. For example, although not shown in FIG. 3, the third next broadcast area exists after the second next broadcast area, and when the third next broadcast area is shown, the first next broadcast area in front of the channel is not displayed I can not.

That is, each subsequent broadcast area may be displayed within the range of the broadcast area.

However, the channel region corresponding to the fixed region, and particularly the current broadcast region, can always be displayed at that position even when scrolling the broadcast region thereafter.

FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of the broadcast schedule table, and the actual broadcast schedule table is the same as FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, and the description related to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 will be described later.

The display control unit 130 controls the display unit 150 to display the broadcast schedule table generated by the schedule table generator 120. [

In addition, when the above-described focusing mark is located in the current broadcasting area of any one of the channels, the display control unit 130 detects the selection of the 'first movement button' (for example, the upward movement button) The focusing mark is moved to the current broadcasting area of the previous channel without considering the broadcasting time. Here, the detection of the selection of the 'first movement button' may be detected, for example, by using the first movement button pressing signal received by the user by depressing the 'first movement button' provided on the remote controller or included in the keypad Quot; first movement button " To this end, the display control unit 130 may include a kind of user's command sensing unit (not shown).

In contrast, when the focusing indicator detects the selection of the 'first movement button' in a state where the focusing mark is located in any one of the following broadcasting areas included in the subsequent broadcasting area of any one channel, If a plurality of next broadcast areas are included in the broadcast area, one of the plurality of next broadcast areas is selected in consideration of the broadcast time of each broadcast content, and the focusing mark is moved to the selected broadcast area.

For example, if the focusing control unit 130 detects the selection of the 'first movement button' of the user in a state where the focusing mark is located in any one of the following broadcast areas included in a subsequent broadcast area of one channel, It is possible to control the focusing markers to move to the next broadcasting area that overlaps the broadcasting time of the broadcasting content corresponding to the next broadcasting area in which the current focusing mark is located among a plurality of next broadcasting areas included in the broadcasting area.

The technique itself for selecting an area in which the focusing mark is to be moved in consideration of the broadcast time corresponds to a known technique, and will be described with reference to FIG.

According to an aspect of the present invention, when the selection of the user's first movement button is detected, the display control unit 130 determines whether the current focusing mark is positioned in the current broadcast area or in the next broadcast area of the broadcast area In particular, when the focusing control unit 130 detects the selection of the " first moving button " in a state where the focusing mark is currently located in the broadcasting area, the display control unit 130 moves the focusing mark to the current broadcasting area of the previous channel. .

Here, the 'previous channel' refers to a channel immediately preceding a channel in which the current focusing mark is located based on a predetermined order, and is preferably a channel selected in accordance with a channel order included in the broadcast schedule table shown in FIG. Lt; / RTI >

For example, when the user selects the first movement button in a state in which the focusing mark is positioned in the current broadcasting area 1155 of the 012 channel as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the display control unit 130 The focusing mark can be moved to the current broadcasting area 1156 of the 011 channel.

In FIG. 4 (a), a focusing mark is located on the border of the current broadcasting area 1155 of the currently selected broadcasting channel, and in FIG. 4 (b), the focusing mark is located in the current broadcasting area 1156 of the previous channel It can be seen that it is moving. It is needless to say that the focusing mark may be formed in various forms that the user can identify.

Meanwhile, the display control unit 130 displays a 'second movement button' (e.g., " first movement button ") in a state where the focusing mark is positioned in the current broadcasting area of any one channel, When the user selects the downward movement button, the controller controls the focusing indicator to move to the current broadcasting area of the next channel without considering the broadcasting time of the broadcasting contents. In addition, when the focusing mark is detected in the next broadcasting area included in the subsequent broadcasting area of any one of the channels, if the 'second moving button' is selected by the user, If the area is included, the controller selects one of the plurality of next broadcast areas in consideration of the broadcast time of the broadcast content, and controls the focusing markers to move to the selected broadcast area.

When the selection of the 'second movement button' is detected, only the direction of movement of the focusing markers corresponds to the process of detecting the 'first movement button' selection described above, so that detailed description will be omitted.

That is, when the user selects the 'second movement button' in the state of FIG. 4 (a), the display control unit 130 moves the focusing mark to the current broadcasting area of the 013 channel as shown in FIG. 4 (c).

When the user selects the 'OK' button in the state where the focusing mark is currently positioned on the broadcast area, the display controller 130 can control the screen switching to the channel on which the focusing mark is located.

For example, if the user selects the 'OK' button in the state of FIG. 4A, the display control unit 130 removes the broadcast schedule table and controls the broadcast content of the 012 channel to be displayed on the display unit 150 as a whole can do.

As another example, when the user selects the 'OK' button selection in the state of FIG. 4B, the display control unit 130 removes the broadcast schedule table and controls the broadcast content of the 011 channel to be displayed on the display unit 150 as a whole can do.

A feature of the present invention can be seen by comparing FIG. 4 and FIG.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a conventional broadcast schedule table. As shown in FIG. 5, information on broadcast contents currently broadcast on each channel of the current time is distinguished from information on scheduled broadcast contents in the broadcast schedule table The same form.

That is, information on all broadcast contents is displayed in an area of a size proportional to the broadcast time of the corresponding broadcast content.

In this case, since the information of each broadcasting contents is mixed with each other based on the time axis, it is not easy to identify the broadcasting contents being broadcast on each channel of the broadcasting system.

In addition, in all cases, if the focusing mark moves in consideration of the broadcast time of the broadcast content, it may inconvenience a user who wants to select a currently broadcast channel.

For example, if the user selects a 'downward movement button' while the focusing mark is located in the information display area 1158 of the currently broadcasted content of the 012 channel, The area of the information display area 1159 of the broadcasted content and the area of the information display area 1160 of the content scheduled to be broadcasted next to the channel 013 overlap most of the broadcast time (the information display area 1160 )) To move the focusing mark.

This does not correspond to the user's desire to move the focusing mark to the information display area 1159 of the current broadcast content of channel 013 for channel change in the information display area 1158 of the current broadcast content of 012 channel.

For this reason, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the present invention distinguishes the broadcast area and the following broadcast area from the broadcast schedule table. When the selection of the 'up move button' or the 'down move button' Thereby minimizing user inconvenience by allowing focusing mark movement only to the current broadcast area of the channel.

On the other hand, the display control unit 130 controls the detailed information pop-up window including the broadcast content detailed information to be displayed in a separate area, which is distinguished for each channel, whenever the focusing mark is positioned on the current broadcast area of any one channel.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a broadcast schedule table according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 130 controls the current broadcast area 1152 of the 013 channel, When the marker (red frame) is positioned, a detailed information pop-up window 1154 including broadcast content detailed information can be displayed in an area near the 013 channel, for example, a subsequent broadcast area of the 013 channel.

Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the broadcast content detailed information may include a program name or a broadcast time.

If the user operates the " up-shift button " in this state, the display control unit 130 places the focusing mark on the 012-channel current broadcasting area, and sets the focusing mark in the area near the 013 channel, The detailed information pop-up window including the broadcast content detailed information is displayed in the area.

When a detailed information pop-up window is placed in a predetermined fixed area on the display, for example, a vacant space (not shown) (hereinafter referred to as a top fixed display area) above the broadcast schedule table regardless of the selected channel, Every time the focusing mark is moved from the current broadcasting area of the channel to the current broadcasting area of the other channel, the viewer must turn his gaze to the upper fixed display area above the broadcasting schedule table to check the broadcasting contents detail information of the broadcasting contents currently being broadcast on the corresponding channel There is a hassle.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, the broadcast content detailed information is displayed in the vicinity of the channel in which the focusing mark is located, so that the user does not need to look far in order to check the detailed information of the broadcast content of the selected channel.

In the above description, the focus mark is moved up and down on the broadcast schedule table. However, it is needless to say that the focus mark may move left / right on the broadcast schedule table.

That is, when the selection of the 'right movement button' or the 'left movement button' is detected by the user, the display control unit 130 may control the focusing markings to move leftward and rightward.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the selection of the 'right movement button' of the user is detected in a state in which the focusing mark is positioned in the current broadcast area of the channel 013, the display control unit 130 displays' The information about the broadcast content is displayed, and then the focusing mark can be moved to the broadcast area 1153. [

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 130 may display a 'program progress bar' together with a real-time captured image in a broadcast area so that the current broadcast progress can be known.

When the user desires to view the broadcast program information as described above, the display control device 100 collects the broadcast program information, and then, using the collected broadcast program information, And controls the display of the generated program schedule so that the readability of the information on the broadcast content broadcast on each channel at the current time is increased.

When the user moves the focusing mark up / down, the display control device 100 displays the previous channel / after channel without considering the broadcast time of each broadcast content in the state where the focusing mark is located in the current broadcast area of any one channel. So that operations for changing and viewing the channel can be easily performed.

Meanwhile, it goes without saying that the process of performing each of the above-described embodiments can be performed by a program or an application stored in a predetermined recording medium (for example, a computer-readable). Here, the recording medium includes an electronic recording medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk, and an optical recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disk).

At this time, the program stored in the recording medium may be executed on hardware such as a computer or a smart phone to perform each of the above embodiments.
