3 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method for providing additional information matched to a channel list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the steps of FIG. 3, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 includes a channel list configured in response to a user input and matching information matched to the channel list (eg, matched advertisement content, channel-related guide information, channel-related broadcast content Information, etc.) is displayed on the screen of the broadcast receiving terminal 140 (step S310). User input is a button input from the RCU 170 (for example, a numeric key or a special key designated in advance), an input interface implemented on the broadcast receiving terminal 140 (for example, a keypad, a button, or a touch screen). It can be made by input through touch, etc.). The channel list and matching information may be displayed in a transparent or semi-transparent form so as not to interfere with viewing of the broadcast content of the currently selected channel, and a predetermined area of the screen of the broadcast reception terminal 140 (for example, It can be displayed on the top right, bottom right of the screen, etc.).

The channel list configured in response to a user input may be configured in various ways. For example, a channel list configured in response to a user input may be a Direct Channel Access (DCA) list. In this case, the channel list may be generated as an auto-complete list of channels according to a user input. For example, when the number '1' is input through a user input, the channel list may be generated as a list of channels including the number '1' (eg, channel 1, channel 11, channel 111, and channel 123). Also, the channel list configured in response to a user input may include a specific channel corresponding to the user input and a plurality of channels corresponding to the genre of the specific channel. For example, when the number '1' is input through a user input, if channel 1 is a news channel, the channel list is a list of news channels including channel 1 (e.g., news channel 1, news channel 9, news channel 15 , News channel 23) Can be created. In addition, the channel list configured in response to a user input may include a specific channel corresponding to the user input and a plurality of predetermined recommendation channels mapped to the specific channel. For example, a channel list may be generated so that other channels provided by a broadcaster, such as a specific channel input by a user, are included in the channel list. In addition, a channel list configured in response to a user input may include a specific channel corresponding to the user input and a plurality of user preferred channels. For example, a channel list may be generated such that channels frequently viewed by a user determined through a viewing history in the broadcast reception terminal 140 or channels most viewed by all users using a corresponding broadcast service are included in the channel list.

Matching information matching the channel list may also be matched in various ways. The matching information matching the generated channel list may be information matching a channel group of channels constituting the channel list. For example, if the channel list is a channel list composed of movie channels, additional information related to the movie may be matched to the channel list and displayed. Further, the information matching the generated channel list may be individual channel matching information related to each channel constituting the channel list. In this case, it may be implemented to display only individual channel matching information for one channel according to a predetermined setting, or to display matching information related to each channel of the channel list sequentially according to a predetermined timing. In addition, the information matching the generated channel list may be information common to all channels (eg, when the information is frequently exposed by sponsorship).

In addition, displaying the channel list and matching information matching the channel list is to display common information along with the channel list, channel group matching information matching the channel group of the channels constituting the channel list, and individual channel matching information of the channel list. Can be configured. In this case, the user of the broadcast receiving terminal 140 first selects one of the displayed common information, channel group matching information, and individual channel matching information, and then follows the selected information (e.g., steps S320 and S330). You can do it.

The matching information may be displayed in the form of text information, image information, QR code, video clip, or the like, depending on implementation. The matching information is linked with the target action to provide additional information. For example, the target action is additional information related to matching information such as displaying additional additional information related to matching information, triggering execution of an application related to matching information, selecting VOD content related to matching information, participating in an event related to matching information, etc. Or it can be implemented as an operation.

The user may select a target action for matching information through the broadcast reception terminal 140 (step S320). The selection of the target action for the matching information is, for example, a click of the displayed matching information, a click of a predetermined area of the screen of the broadcast reception terminal 140 (for example, a click of a selection icon), or the RCU 170 in advance. It can be made by an operation operation such as a determined key or key combination. When the user selects a target action for matching information, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 may execute a target action linked with the selected matching information in response to the user selection (step S330).

In addition, as will be described later, the method for providing additional information matched to a channel list according to an embodiment of the present invention may adaptively change and display the matching information according to an additional user input following step S310. .

First, after displaying the channel list and matching information, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 may receive a user's navigation operation of moving the focus to another channel on the displayed channel list (step S340). For example, in a channel list consisting of channel 1, channel 11, channel 111, and channel 123, the focus is initially on channel 1, and then the focus may be moved to channel 11 by manipulating a direction key on a user interface or clicking on a screen. In this case, the broadcast reception terminal 140 may display matching information matching the specific channel to which the focus has been moved according to the navigation operation (step S350). For example, if an advertisement matching the channel list is initially displayed along with the channel list and the focus is moved to channel 11, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 changes the previously displayed advertisement to match the matching information to channel 11 Can be displayed. When the user selects a target action for the changed information (step S320), the broadcast receiving terminal 140 executes a target action for the changed information (step S330).

In addition, after displaying the channel list and matching information, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 may display a channel list configured in response to an additional user input and matching information matching the channel list (step S360). For example, when channel 1, channel 11, channel 111, and channel 123 are generated as a channel list by the first user input number '1', and additional input '2' is subsequently received, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 In response to user inputs '1' and '2', a new channel list including channels 12 and 123 is displayed, and matching information matching the new channel list can be displayed by changing the previously displayed matching information. have. When the user selects a target action for the changed information (step S320), the broadcast receiving terminal 140 executes a target action for the changed information (step S330).

As shown in FIG. 4, the channel list and matching information configured in response to a user input according to an embodiment of the present invention are determined in a predetermined area on the screen of the video output device 160 of the broadcast reception terminal 140 (eg For example, it may be displayed on the upper right of the screen). The channel list 410 shown in FIG. 4 displays only channel numbers for convenience of description, but channel names (for example, MBC, KBS, etc.) or channel information are provided to users according to implementation examples. Additional information such as a genre (eg, a news channel, a movie channel, etc.) may be displayed in the channel list. Also, matching information 420 may be displayed together with the channel list 410. In FIG. 4, the matching information 420 is shown to be located at the bottom of the channel list 410, but is not limited thereto, and the matching information 420 is another area on the screen (eg, the left area of the channel list 410). It can also be displayed on.

5 is an exemplary screen in which a channel list and matching information are displayed according to a navigation operation on a channel list according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when a focus (indicated by a thick solid line) is assigned to channel 1 in the channel list 410 of FIG. 4 and a downward navigation operation is received, the channel list 510 shown in FIG. Likewise, the focus can be shifted to the channel 11 below it. In this case, the matching information may be changed so that the information 520 matching the channel 11 may be displayed.

6 is an exemplary screen in which a channel list configured according to an additional user input and matching information matching the channel list are displayed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when the number '2' is input as an additional user input following the initial user input number '1' in the channel list 410 of FIG. 4, as shown in the channel list 610 shown in FIG. A new channel list including channels 12 and 123 may be displayed in response to user inputs '1' and '2'.
