This can be applied.

In addition, when the display unit 151 is implemented as a touch screen having a touch sensor, it may also perform a function of an input device in addition to an output device. The touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151 or a change in capacitance occurring in a specific portion of the display unit 151 into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect not only the position and area where the touch object is touched on the touch sensor, but also the pressure at the time of the touch. Here, the touch object is an object that applies a touch to the touch sensor, and may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen or a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like. When there is a touch input to the touch sensor, a signal(s) corresponding thereto is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal(s) and then sends the corresponding data to the controller. Accordingly, the controller 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 has been touched, and the like.

The audio output unit 150 may receive the audio signal processed by the controller 180, for example, a stereo signal or a 5.1 channel signal, and output a sound corresponding thereto. To this end, the audio output unit 150 may be implemented with various types of speakers.

The sensing unit 140 may detect various situations around the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. More preferably, the detection unit 140 may be implemented to include a position detection sensor, a sound detection sensor, and a camera, and may detect the dog's position and the dog's voice.

For example, the position detection sensor may be implemented using various sensors such as a laser sensor, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a photo sensor, and an object moving in a preset place, the owner's house (for example, dog), and can recognize the position and distance of the dog. In addition, the sensing unit 140 may detect whether or not the dog is within the preset specific area based on the detected location of the dog when a specific area of the room is set in advance from the user (dog owner). .

Alternatively, the detection unit 140 may be implemented by additionally including a separate sensor (first sensor) to more accurately detect the position of the dog. For example, the first sensor may be attached to the dog's leash, and in this case, the sensing unit 140 may more accurately recognize the position of the dog based on the signal received from the first sensor.

In addition, the dog owner may additionally attach another sensor (second sensor) to a specific area, in this case, the first sensor attached to the dog's collar is at least one second sensor attached to the specific area at a certain distance When approaching within, the second sensor may transmit a signal to notify the detection unit 140 of this. And in this case, the detection unit 140 may recognize that the dog has approached the specific area from the signal received from the second sensor.

Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 may include a camera (not shown). In this case, the sensing unit 140 may recognize the location of the dog from the image received through the camera, and if there is a specific area set by the user, the dog approaches the specific area from the image taken from the specific area. It can be detected whether or not

In addition, the sensing unit 140 of the image display apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include various sensors for detecting the surrounding conditions of the image display apparatus 100 . For example, the detection unit 140 may further include a thermal sensor to recognize the position of the dog and the distance from the dog. In general, the standard body temperature of the dog is higher by distinguishing between humans and dogs. It can also recognize its location.

Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 may further include a voice recognition sensor. The sensing unit 140 may distinguish and recognize the dog's voice using the voice recognition sensor. For example, the sensing unit 140 may determine the state of the dog based on the voice received through the voice recognition sensor. For example, the sensing unit 140 may determine that the dog is bored and wants to attract the attention of the dog owner, if the dog makes a whining sound like a snoring, or is angry if the dog makes a growling sound It is also possible to judge the condition of the dog.

As such, judging the state of the dog based on the sound the dog makes may vary depending on the setting of the dog owner. That is, when the dog owner records a specific sound made by the dog and specifies the state of the dog in advance with respect to the recorded sound of the dog, the sensing unit 140 may determine the state of the dog based on this.

Meanwhile, the image display apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a wireless communication unit 110 . The wireless communication unit 110 may be configured to include a broadcast reception module (not shown) and a wireless communication module (not shown).

Accordingly, in the image display apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, an image signal corresponding to a channel selected or preset by a user may be received from the broadcast management server and displayed on the display unit 151 .

Meanwhile, the memory 160 stores data supporting various functions of the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory 170 may store a plurality of application programs (or applications) driven in the image display apparatus 100 , data for operation of the image display apparatus 100 , and commands. At least some of these application programs may be downloaded from an external server through wireless communication. In addition, at least some of these application programs may exist on the image display apparatus 100 from the time of shipment for a basic function (eg, replay of previously stored or previously received content) of the image display apparatus 100 . Meanwhile, the application program may be stored in the memory 170 , installed on the image display device 100 , and driven to perform an operation (or function) of the image display device 100 by the controller 180 . have.

Meanwhile, the memory 160 may store various contents input by the user. For example, the memory 160 may store a user's voice directly recorded by the user through another device (eg, a recorder or a camera), content recorded with a dog's voice, or content directly recorded by the user. Alternatively, various information used to recognize the position of the dog as a result of the detection by the sensing unit 140, for example, information on a preset specific area, etc. may be stored in the memory 160 . Alternatively, the memory 160 may store information for the sensing unit 140 to determine the state of the dog through the dog's voice, such as a dog barking sound.

In addition, the memory 160 may store information on various channels of video signals received from the various external broadcast management servers. In addition, the memory 160 may store pre-stored content that matches the detection result of the detection unit 140 for the state of the dog or information on the channel. As such, the pre-stored content or channel matching the determined state of the dog may be preset by the user.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 controls the overall operation of the image display device 100 . The controller 180 determines the state of the dog based on the detection result of the sensing unit 140, and based on the determined state of the dog, pre-stored content or an image signal (broadcast content) received from the external broadcast management server. ) may be output through the output unit 150 . That is, the control unit 180, the control unit 180, based on the state of the dog determined as the dog's voice or the result of detecting the position of the dog, the corresponding pre-stored content or broadcast content of a preset channel through the output unit It can also be printed out.

Meanwhile, in the case of image information output through the output unit 150 , the controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits the pre-stored content or broadcast content of the preset channel according to the color sense of the dog. It is possible to correct the color of the image signal included in the . Information on the color vision of the dog may be stored in the memory 160 . In addition, the controller 180 of the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may correct the color of the image information output from the output unit 150 based on the pre-stored color vision information of the dog. To this end, the controller 180 of the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a color correcting unit 181 , and the color correcting unit 181 is configured as shown in FIG. 1 . , may be implemented by being included in the control unit 180 , or may be implemented outside the control unit 180 as a separate component from the control unit 180 .

On the other hand, the color vision of the dog may be measured in advance through an experiment based on a veterinary hospital or a pre-prepared test means. Looking at the results of studies on color vision in dogs so far, it can be inferred that dogs are red-green color blind. However, in general, dogs lack a sense of color and the shape of the skull is also different due to the influence of various breeds, so the color vision of a dog may also be different depending on the breed or characteristics of the dog, and the color of the dog may be different. The ability to distinguish between them may also be different. Accordingly, in the present invention, by allowing the color of the image information displayed in the output unit 150 to be corrected based on the color vision of the dog measured in advance, the image content more suitable for the dog owner's dog, that is, the content dedicated to the dog, is output to the output unit ( 150) can be output.

On the other hand, according to the above description, the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention describes that specific content is output through the output unit 150 based on the detected state of the dog, that is, the position or voice of the dog. did. However, unlike this, the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may output pre-stored content or broadcast content of a specific channel through the output unit 150 according to the owner's control.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which content is output under the control of a dog owner in the video display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits information related to the state of the dog to the user's mobile terminal 200 through the preset wireless communication network 210 . can For example, the image display device 100 detects the state of the dog, when the detected state of the dog matches the preset state, that is, the state of the dog determined based on the position of the dog or the sound the dog makes. Based on this, notification information for notifying the user may be transmitted.

For example, the controller 180 may recognize when a dog enters a specific area preset by the user, and transmit notification information for notifying it to a preset mobile terminal, that is, the dog owner's mobile terminal 200 . Alternatively, the controller 180 may transmit notification information for notifying the state of the dog to the mobile terminal 200 based on the state of the dog determined based on the sound the dog makes. For example, when the sound of the dog matches the sound previously recorded by the user, or when the state of the dog determined based on the sound made by the dog is a preset specific state, notification information for notifying it may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 200 . The notification information may include information on the current location of the dog, and the information on the location of the dog may include an image of the current state of the dog captured by the camera provided in the image display device 100 . .

Such notification information may be output through the display unit 151 provided in the owner's mobile terminal 200 or through a sound signal. In this case, the competitor may control the image display apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention through the mobile terminal 200 . In addition, according to the owner's selection, pre-stored specific content or broadcast content broadcast on a specific channel may be output through the output unit 150 of the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. And, it goes without saying that the content output through the output unit 150 may be dog-only content whose color is corrected based on the color vision of the dog by the color correction unit 181 .

On the other hand, the video display device 100 may output the content to the output unit 150 based on the detected state of the dog as described above, and conversely, the output unit 150 may be turned off. of course there is In this case, the controller 180 of the video display device 100 may transmit a log record related to an on or off operation of the output unit 150 to the mobile terminal 200 of the owner. In this case, the dog owner may check the behavior of the dog while the owner is out on the basis of the log record.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in the image display device 100 configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present invention.

3 is a diagram illustrating an operation process of an image display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the control unit 180 of the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may detect the state of the dog using various sensors provided in the sensing unit 140 (S300). ). For example, the control unit 180 may determine whether the dog is in a sleeping state or a sleeping state based on the detection result of the sensing unit 140, or to determine whether the dog is actively moving. can Or, if your dog is barking or crying, you can detect it.

In addition, the controller 180 may determine whether the output of the content is necessary based on the detection result of the step S300 (S302). For example, as a result of detecting the state of the dog, the controller 180 may determine that the output of the content is not necessary when it is within a preset area. Alternatively, the controller 180 may determine that the output of the content is not necessary when the dog is dozing or sleeping.

And when it is determined that the output of the content is not necessary as a result of the determination of the step S302, the control unit 180 maintains the power of the output unit 150 in the off state (S308), and proceeds to step S300 again. Detect status. And it is determined again whether the output of the content is necessary based on the detected state of the dog.

However, as a result of the detection in step S300 , when the state of the dog meets the preset state, the controller 180 may determine that the output of the content is necessary. For example, when the dog approaches a specific area set by the dog owner, for example, an area in which a sofa, a flowerpot, or a computer is located, the controller 180 may determine that content output is necessary. Alternatively, the controller 180 may determine that the output of the content is necessary when the dog barks or cries at a volume higher than a certain level as a result of the detection in step S300 . Or, if the dog stays for a certain time or more while approaching within a certain distance from the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is determined that the dog wants to view the content, and it is determined that the output of the content is necessary. You may.

In this case, the controller 180 determines the content to be output from the output unit 150 based on the result of detecting the state of the dog (S304). The content output here may be content pre-stored in the memory 160 or broadcast content of a specific channel provided from an external broadcast management server.

Meanwhile, the content corresponding to the state of the dog may be predefined by the user, or may be set according to information provided by a related company, for example, a company that generates contents related to the dog. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2 , it may be content determined according to a user's direct selection received through the wireless communication network 210 .

And when the content to be output is determined in step S304 , the controller 180 may drive the output unit 150 and output the determined content through the output unit 150 . Here, the controller 180 may correct the color of the image information included in the determined content based on the pre-stored color vision information of the dog. That is, in step S306, the controller 180 may convert and output the content determined in step S304 into content for dogs whose color is corrected based on the color vision information of the dog.

And when the content is output from the output unit 150, the control unit 180 may proceed to step S300 again, to detect the state of the dog again. And it can proceed to step S302 to determine again whether the output of the content is required according to the detected state of the dog. And based on the determined result, the power of the output unit 150 may be turned off (S308). For example, as a result of re-detecting the state of the dog in step S300, the controller 180 determines that the output of the content is not necessary if the dog is dozing or sleeping, or if the dog stops crying and does not enter a preset specific area. You may. In this case, the controller 180 may proceed to step S308 to turn off the power of the output unit 150 .

Meanwhile, in step S302, the controller 180 may output other content through steps S304 and S306 based on the detected state of the dog. Alternatively, if the state of the dog detected in the step S300 is not changed, the controller 180 may keep the state in which the currently output content is outputted or repeatedly output it.

Meanwhile, according to the above description, the state of the dog detected in the step S300 has been described as being detected by the position and / or voice of the dog. Accordingly, the controller 180, in the step S304, in determining the content to be output to the output unit 150 based on the detected state of the dog, the content is determined according to the detected position and / or voice of the dog you might as well make it

Figure 4, in this case, by recognizing the position and / or voice of the dog, shows in more detail the operation process of determining the content to be output.

Referring to FIG. 4 , if the controller 180 of the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the state of the dog in step S300 and determines that the output of the content is necessary, in step S300 It is possible to recognize the position and / or voice of the dog based on the detection result (S400).

For example, in step S400 , the controller 180 may detect whether the current location of the dog or the dog approaches a specific area preset by the user based on the detection result of the detection unit 140 . For example, the controller 180 may recognize the position of the dog from the sensor (first sensor) attached to the dog's leash in the step S400, and at least one other sensor (second sensor) set by the dog owner in a specific area. By using a signal received from the sensor), it is possible to detect whether the dog has approached the specific area more than a certain distance.

Alternatively, when the dog makes a sound, the controller 180 may detect the sound and determine the dog's current psychological state, that is, the dog's emotional state, such as boredom, anger, and pleasure, based on the sensed sound. Here, when the detected sound matches a preset sound, the controller 180 may determine the state of the dog in a preset state by the owner. For example, when the dog's cry matches a preset sound (for example, when the user matches the dog's cry with the sound set by the user as the dog's longing voice) or If it is determined that the state of the dog is free or bored based on a preset judgment criterion, it can be recognized.

As such, in the step S400, whether the dog approaches a specific area preset by the dog owner or detects the sound the dog makes and can determine the state of the dog based on the sensed sound.

As such, when the dog approaches a preset specific area (eg, sofa, flowerpot, etc.) within a certain distance, or when the emotional state of the dog is determined based on the sound of the dog, the controller 180 controls the current position of the dog or the determined According to the emotional state, pre-stored content or broadcast content of a preset specific channel may be determined as content to be output through the output unit 150 (S402). For example, if, as a result of the recognition in step S400, the dog approaches a predetermined specific area within a predetermined distance, the controller 180 may determine the output of content for preventing the dog from approaching in advance. Such content may include, for example, "No!", "Stop!", "Stop!" recorded by the user's voice. It may include voice information including a warning sound, such as, or may include image information recorded directly by the user applying the formulation to the dog. Alternatively, it may be content including other preset image information and/or sound information for diverting the dog's attention.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 of the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may determine the content to be output based on the emotional state of the dog determined based on the sound of the dog in step S402. For example, if the determined emotional state of the dog is a state in which the dog owner misses the dog owner, the controller 180 may determine the output of the content including the image information of the dog owner recorded in step S402. Or, if the determined state of the dog is a boring state, if the state is boring, it is possible to determine the output of the content including sound information and / or image information that the dog may be interested. In this case, the determined content may be content pre-stored in the memory 160, that is, content directly input or stored by the dog owner, or the dog owner responds to the dog's emotional state, bored state, or boring state in advance. It may be broadcast content of a specific channel set in advance.

Meanwhile, according to the above description, it goes without saying that the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may receive the content to be output directly selected from the user. In this case, when it is determined that the output of the content is necessary, the controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits information for informing of this to a preset mobile terminal, that is, the mobile terminal 200 of the owner, and outputs the information directly from the user. You can also select the content to be.

5 is a diagram illustrating an operation process of directly selecting content to be output from a user based on a result of detecting the state of the dog in this case.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the controller 180 of the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the output of the content is necessary in the step S302, pay attention to the information related to the state of the dog. It can be transmitted to the mobile terminal 200 . Here, the information related to the state of the dog may include information about the current state of the dog, that is, the position of the dog and/or the determined emotional state of the dog, or may include image information photographing the appearance of the dog. may be

To this end, when it is determined that the output of the content is necessary in step S302, the controller 180 recognizes the position of the dog and/or the voice of the dog detected by the sensing unit 140 (S500). For example, as described in step S400, the controller 180 may recognize when the dog enters a preset specific area by the owner or recognize the emotional state of the dog based on the sound the dog makes. .

And when the location of the dog or the emotional state of the dog is recognized, the controller 180 transmits information related to the current state of the dog to a preset mobile terminal based on the recognized result (S502). Here, the mobile terminal may be the dog owner's mobile terminal 200, and the controller 180 controls the wireless communication unit 110, and notification information including the result of recognizing the location and emotional state of the dog in step S500. may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 200 .

In this case, the competitor may check the transmitted notification information through the mobile terminal 200 and determine the content to be output from the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention (S504). For example, the controller 180 may select at least one of the contents pre-stored in the memory 160 in step S504, or may select a broadcast content broadcast on a specific channel. In this case, at least one pre-stored content selected by the user or broadcast content broadcast on a specific channel selected by the user may be output through the output unit 150 in step S306.

Meanwhile, according to the above description, the content output from the image display device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include image information, and the controller 180 of the image display device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include image information. mentioned above that the color of the image information of the content to be output may be corrected and output based on the color vision information of the dog.

6 illustrates an operation process of outputting currently determined content based on the result of detecting the state of the dog in the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention in this case.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the controller 180 of the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention determines whether there is pre-stored color vision information of a dog when the content to be output is determined in step S302. Confirm (S600). Here, the pre-stored color vision information of the dog may be pre-stored by the user, and may include a result of measuring the color vision of the dog through a veterinary hospital or a company that provides a related service.

And, as a result of the check in step S600, if there is pre-stored color vision information of the dog, the controller 180 determines whether the content currently output is determined based on the pre-stored color vision information of the dog is the content that needs color correction. It can be (S602).

For example, the controller 180 analyzes the image information included in the content determined to be output in the step S302, and according to the color vision characteristic of the dog confirmed in the step S600, the color that the dog cannot distinguish or is difficult to distinguish; That is, it may be determined whether a color that is color-blind or color-blind is included.

And, as a result of the determination, if the color of the image information included in the content includes the color of the dog colorblind or colorblind above a certain level, it may be determined that the content is content requiring color correction. Alternatively, when the content for which the output has been determined is broadcast content broadcast on a specific broadcast channel, the controller 180 may determine whether the content requires color correction based on the broadcast channel. In this case, when a specific channel is selected by the dog owner, the controller 180 may determine whether the color of the broadcast content needs to be corrected based on a result of parsing the broadcast content received from the channel.

And as a result of the determination in step S602, the content whose current output is determined does not include content that does not require color correction, that is, image information, or the dog does not contain a certain level of color blindness or color weakness. , or in the case of content previously produced exclusively for companion animals, the controller 180 may determine that color correction of the content is not necessary. In this case, the controller 180 may control the output unit 150 so that the content whose current output has been determined is output from the output unit 150 ( S608 ).

Meanwhile, as a result of the determination in step S502, if it is necessary to correct the color of the content for which the current output is determined, the controller 180 corrects the color of the image information included in the content based on the color vision information of the dog checked in the step S600. It can be done (S604). For example, the controller 180 may control a color that the dog cannot recognize, that is, a color that is colorblind or colorblind based on the color vision information of the dog, among the colors of the image information of the content for which the output is determined, a color that the dog can recognize. can be corrected with Alternatively, the controller 180 may convert the image information of the content into a black-and-white image, and correct the degree of contrast of the black-and-white image to be different depending on the color, so that the color of the image information is the black-and-white image through the different contrast. It can also be differentiated from the video.

In addition, the controller 180 may proceed to step S306 so that the color-corrected content is output from the output unit 150 . Accordingly, in the present invention, based on the color vision information measured in advance of the dog, the color of the dog is colorblind or colorblind is detected in advance, and the color of the content output from the output unit 150 is corrected based on the detected color. . In addition, the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention uses the color correction unit 181 even if the content is not previously created or produced as content for dogs, that is, even if the image is taken directly by the user. Since this can be corrected, it is possible to output the dog-only content customized to the dog owner's dog.

Meanwhile, in the above description, it is assumed that there is a pre-stored color vision measurement result of the dog in step S600, but the present invention may be applied even when there is no color vision measurement result of the dog. For example, the memory 160 may store the color vision measurement result of a general dog measured according to the breed of the dog or the age or weight of the dog. Also, the controller 180 may correct the color of the content based on the pre-stored color vision measurement result.

Meanwhile, the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may correct the color of the content output from the output unit 150 according to the user's selection when the dog and the user watch the content together.

7 illustrates an operation process of outputting content based on the result of detecting the state of the dog in this case, when the owner is with the dog.

Referring to FIG. 7 , when the output of specific content is determined in step S302, the controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention may recognize the location of the user, that is, the dog owner and the dog (S700). And as a result of recognizing the position of the dog owner and the dog, it is determined whether the user and the dog are together (S702). Here, step S702 may include a case where the distance between the user and the dog recognized in step S700 is within a preset distance. For example, the control unit 180 can distinguish and recognize the user and the dog through the thermal sensor of the sensing unit 140, and use various sensors such as an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, or a laser sensor to separate the dog from the dog. It can recognize the distance between the puppets.

And as a result of the determination in step S702, if the user and the dog are not together, for example, if the recognized distance between the user and the dog is more than a preset distance, the controller 180 is based on the color vision of the dog. Thus, color-corrected content can be output (S706). Accordingly, even if the owner is indoors, the color of the content for which the output is determined may be corrected and output based on the color vision of the dog.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S702 that the user and the dog are together, the controller 180 may output color-corrected content through the output unit 150 based on the user's selection (S704). . In step S704, the user may choose to correct the color of the content for the dog and output it, in this case, the content selected by the user may be output through the display unit 151 after color correction based on the color vision of the dog. .

In the above description, the operation process in which preset content is output through the output unit 150 based on the state of the dog detected by the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail.

In the following description, an example of outputting content according to the above-described operation process in the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying exemplary drawings.

8 illustrates an example of outputting content based on the location and/or voice of a dog in the video display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 8 (a), in FIG. 8 (a), when the dog 250 approaches a specific area preset by the dog owner, preset content is output based on the position of the dog 250 It is showing an example.

For example, the controller 180 of the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can recognize the position of the dog 250, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, and thus the position of the dog. At least one of various sensors may be used to recognize . For example, the control unit 180 may recognize the position of the dog 250 using a laser sensor or an infrared sensor provided in the sensing unit 140, or a photo sensor or a thermal sensor using a camera, The current position of the dog 250 and the distance between the dog 250 and the image display device 100 can be recognized.

Alternatively, the controller 180 recognizes a position of the first sensor based on a direction in which a signal is received from at least one other sensor (a first sensor) attached to the outside of the image display device 100 and a reception time of the signal. can do. In this case, the first sensor may be attached to the leash of the dog 250 as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, and as such, when the first sensor is attached to the leash of the dog 250, the position of the dog more accurately can recognize

Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may determine whether the dog is approaching a preset specific area, for example, the sofa 800 based on the recognized position of the dog. For example, the controller 180 may determine whether the dog is approaching the specific area by using the recognized location and distance of the dog 250, and information on a preset indoor space. Or more simply, using at least one other sensor (second sensor) attached to the specific area, when a signal notifying the approach of the first sensor is received from the second sensor, the dog 250 Approaching this preset specific area may be detected.

Meanwhile, in these various methods, when it is detected that the dog 250 is approaching a specific area preset by the user, the controller 180 may determine that the output of the content is necessary. In addition, the controller 180 may output the preset content corresponding to the detected state of the dog 250 , that is, the state of the dog 250 approaching a specific area through the output unit 150 . Here, the output content may be content preset to be output when the user approaches the state of the dog 250, that is, when the dog 250 approaches a specific area, the user directly records or shoots, or the user records the content. It can be one content. Fig. 8 (a) shows an example of such a case.

Meanwhile, according to the above description, the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may output specific content according to the current emotional state of the dog 250 as well as the position of the dog 250 as described above.

For example, the controller 180 of the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may determine the emotional state of the dog 250 based on the sound of the dog 250 , that is, the dog's voice. For example, the control unit 180 detects the voice of the dog 250 using the sound detection sensor provided in the sensing unit 140, and based on a result of matching the sensed voice with pre-stored voice data. It is possible to determine the emotional state of the dog (250). Here, the pre-stored voice data may be one in which the user presets a specific voice of the dog 250 to correspond to a specific state of the dog 250 . Alternatively, it may be provided by a company that provides services related to the present invention.

Therefore, the controller 180 may recognize the voice of the dog 250, and determine the emotional state of the current dog (250). And based on the determined emotional state of the dog 250, the corresponding content may be output through the output unit 150. For example, the control unit 180, as shown in Figure 8 (b), when the dog 250 makes a whining sound (whine), by recognizing such a voice of the dog, the dog 250 misses the current dog owner. can recognize that In addition, the content corresponding to the emotional state of the dog 250 can be output through the output unit 150 .

Meanwhile, the content output through the output unit 150 may include audio information and/or image information as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B . In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8 , if the content output from the output unit 150 includes image information, the pre-stored color vision of the dog 250 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above. It goes without saying that colors may be output in a corrected state based on the information.

Accordingly, in the present invention, even if the content is not previously produced or created as content for dogs, the content that the user has arbitrarily produced can be corrected and output based on the color vision information of the dog 250 . Accordingly, in the present invention, not only the content previously stored by the user, but also the broadcast content transmitted from an external broadcast management server may be output by correcting the color based on the color vision information of the dog 250 . Accordingly, in the present invention, the user can freely select content or broadcast content pre-stored in the memory 160 and output it through the output unit 150 as content exclusively for the dog 250 .

9A and 9B show examples of such a case.

First, referring to FIG. 9A , the control unit 180 of the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention detects the state of the dog 250 when it is necessary to output the content based on the result of detecting the state of the dog 250 . ) shows an example of transmitting notification information including a result of detecting the state of the dog owner to the mobile terminal 200 .

That is, for example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9A, when the dog 250 approaches a predetermined specific area (eg, the sofa 800) within a certain distance, according to an embodiment of the present invention The controller 180 of the image display device 100 may detect this and determine that the output of the content is necessary. In this case, the control unit 180, as shown in (b) of Figure 9a, the detected state of the dog 250, that is, notification information 210 for notifying the situation that the dog 250 approaches the preset specific area. ) can be transmitted to the peg, that is, the user's mobile terminal 200 . And the notification information 210 may include image information including an image of the dog 250 as shown in (b) and (c) of Figure 9a.

Such image information may be obtained through various paths. For example, the image information may be acquired through a camera provided in the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Alternatively, if there is a pre-installed image information acquisition device such as a web cam or CCTV, it may be acquired from the image information acquisition device. In this case, the controller 180 may control the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit the image information obtained by the image information obtaining device to the mobile terminal 200 .

On the other hand, when the notification information is received in this way, the mobile terminal 200 has a menu through which the user can select content to be output on the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in (b)d of FIG. 9a. The screen 220 may be displayed on the display unit. In addition, the mobile terminal 200 may receive a selection from the user to output at least one content through the output unit 150 .

Meanwhile, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9A , the content to be output may include content previously stored by the user (User contents: 230) and content of a specific broadcasting channel (TV contents: 240).

For example, the content selected by the user may include content directly recorded or photographed by the user as shown in (c) of FIG. 9A . For example, when the user records a voice for warning the dog with the user's voice in order to block the behavior of the dog, the recorded content may be stored in the memory 160, and information about the recorded content ( 234 ) may be displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 200 . In addition, when the user records his/her own video to warn the dog, the recorded content may also be stored in the memory 160 , and information 232 on the recorded content is displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 200 . can be displayed on the

And when the user selects a specific content, the user's mobile terminal 200 may transmit information on the content selected by the user to the video display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention through a preset wireless communication network. In this case, the content selected from the mobile terminal 200 may be output through the output unit 150 . 9A (a) shows an example in which the content 900 selected by the user is output in this case.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 9A (a), an example in which content recorded with only the user's voice is output according to the user's selection. On the other hand, if the user selects to output the content including his/her own image, the user's Of course, the user's image along with the voice may be output through the display unit 151 . In addition, when the content including image information is output as described above, the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention corrects and outputs the image information color of the content whose output is determined based on the preset color vision information of the dog. Of course you can.

On the other hand, unlike shown in FIG. 9A , in the present invention, it goes without saying that broadcast content transmitted from a broadcast channel according to a user's selection may be output through the output unit 150 .

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9B, if the user selects to output broadcast content, the user's mobile terminal 200 may display multiple may display on the display unit 151 information on a broadcast channel of and broadcast content broadcast in each broadcast channel. In this case, the user may select a broadcast content to be output from the image display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and information on the broadcast channel selected by the user may be received by the controller 180 .

In this case, the controller 180 controls the wireless communication unit 110 to receive the broadcast content transmitted from the selected channel based on the received information. In addition, the controller 180 outputs the received broadcast content through the output unit 150 . Fig. 9B (c) shows such an example.

Meanwhile, when the broadcast content is received, the controller 180 may determine whether the image information included in the broadcast content needs color correction. And, as a result of analyzing the color of the image information of the received content, when it is determined that color correction is necessary, such as when the color of the dog is colorblind or colorblind is included at a certain level or more, the controller 180, It is possible to correct the color of broadcast content. Here, the controller 180 may correct the color of the broadcast content based on the measured color vision measurement result of the dog 250 . And if there is no pre-measured color vision measurement result of the dog 250, the controller 180 is the breed of the dog 250, based on the pre-measured result according to the characteristics of the dog 250, such as age or weight. The color of the broadcast content may be corrected and output. For example, such a pre-measured result is a result of measuring the color vision of a related company providing a service according to an embodiment of the present invention of the same breed as the dog 250 and general other dogs of the same age as the dog 250 can be

On the other hand, in the above description, it has been described as an example that color-corrected content for dogs is output based on the results of pre-measured color vision of the dog. However, if there is no such test result, the dog is red-green based on the results of research to date. It goes without saying that color-corrected dog-only content may be output from the output unit 150 on the assumption of color blindness.

The present invention described above can be implemented as computer-readable code on a medium in which a program is recorded. The computer-readable medium includes all types of recording devices in which data readable by a computer system is stored. Examples of computer-readable media include Hard Disk Drive (HDD), Solid State Disk (SSD), Silicon Disk Drive (SDD), ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage device, etc. There is also a carrier wave (eg, transmission over the Internet) that is implemented in the form of. In addition, the computer may include the control unit 180 of the terminal. Accordingly, the above detailed description should not be construed as restrictive in all respects but as exemplary. The scope of the present invention should be determined by a reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all modifications within the equivalent scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
