Also, functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present embodiment may be easily inferred by programmers in the art to which the present embodiment belongs.

5 is an exemplary view of a first UI and a second UI.

The first UI is a terminal UI set as a menu for outputting content mounted in the portable terminal 110, and is a UI suitable for operating on the display unit 220 of the portable terminal 110. That is, the first UI refers to a UI suitable for operating on a touch screen when the display unit 220 of the portable terminal 110 is implemented as a touch screen.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the first UI includes 'video', 'music', 'photo', 'store', 'Today`s pick', 'mounted' inside the portable terminal 110. 'Hot Clip', 'Buddy Card', 'Application' and so on.

On the other hand, the second UI is a UI that is set so that a predetermined specific menu among the menus included in the first UI is preferentially displayed. The second UI is basically operated on the external output device 130 and is received from an input means having a direction key or direction. And a cursor 610 that operates according to the control signal and is moved according to a direction key signal of an input means having a direction key or directionality. Here, the input means having a direction key or the direction may be a direction key of the remote controller or the external output device 130, and the like.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the second UI may include a menu included in the first UI as a 'terminal menu group', 'image structure-oriented menu group', 'channel type auto play service menu group', ' Application menu group.

6 and 7 illustrate examples of the first UI and the second UI.

The first UI illustrated in FIG. 6A is a terminal UI set as a menu for outputting content mounted in the portable terminal 110, and is suitable for operation on the display unit 220 of the portable terminal 110. As the UI, the portable terminal 110 displays the first UI on the display unit 220, and the first UI is 'video', 'music', 'photo', 'store' as shown in FIG. And it may be composed of a kind of wallpaper divided into 'toolbox'.

When the user selects 'store', the sub-menus corresponding to 'store' of the first UI, 'paid movie', 'free movie', 'cable TV', 'overseas series' and 'sport' may be displayed.

Meanwhile, when the external output mode is input while the mobile terminal 110 of FIG. 6A illustrates the first UI, the portable terminal 110 switches the first UI to a second UI that is an external output UI. As shown in FIG. 6B, the second UI is switched to appear on the screen of the external output device 130.

The second UI illustrated in FIG. 6B is a UI configured to first display a predetermined menu among menus included in the first UI, and is basically operated on the external output device 130.

For example, menus such as 'Pay Movie', 'Free Movie', 'Cable TV', 'Overseas Series', and 'Sports', which are sub-menus corresponding to 'Image Structure-oriented Menu Group' of the second UI, are external. It may appear on one side of the main screen of the output device 130.

In this case, the user may directly select the specific content by directly operating the remote controller or the portable terminal 110, and the second UI operates according to a control signal received from an input means having a direction key or directionality, and a direction key or an external output device of the remote control. A UI including a cursor 610 that is moved according to the direction key signal of 130.

That is, as shown in (B) of FIG. 6, the cursor is moved according to a control signal received from an input means (direction key of the remote control or direction key of the external output device 130) having a direction key or directionality by a user's operation. 610 may appear in the 'Overseas Series'.

As shown in (A) of FIG. 7, the sub-menus 'paid movie', 'free movie', 'cable TV', which are the sub-menus corresponding to the 'store' of the first UI of the portable terminal 110, 'Overseas Series' and 'Sports' can be displayed, and when the 'Overseas Series' is selected by the user's selection, the genre information, cast information, synopsis, etc. Information, content providing information, and the like may be output.

When the external output mode is input while the mobile terminal 110 of FIG. 7A illustrates the first UI, the portable terminal 110 switches the first UI to a second UI that is an external output UI of FIG. 7. As shown in (B), the second UI is switched to appear on the screen of the external output device 130.

As shown in FIG. 7B, when the user outputs specific content, the user operates the direction key of the remote control or the direction key of the external output device 130 to move the cursor 610 to 'rent', ' You'll be able to choose any of the menus: Drive, Rent All, and Wish List.

On the other hand, when the user moves the cursor 610 to select 'subscription', the mobile terminal 110 may periodically download new updated information about specific content, and according to the user's selection, the external output device 130 may appear through.

6 and 7, the portable terminal 110 shows only the first UI as a screen suitable for the horizontal. However, this is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present embodiment, and is commonly used in the technical field to which the present embodiment belongs. If the user has a knowledge of the mobile terminal 110 is provided with a location recognizer (not shown) to recognize the rotational direction, tilt or movement of the terminal to display a vertically suitable first UI on the screen can be variously modified and modified will be.

For example, the position recognizing unit may be a gyro sensor for detecting the angular velocity of the terminal movement of the yaw axis and the pitch axis. The gyro sensor may be attached and configured to capture the angular velocity of the movement in both the yaw axis and the pitch axis in order to recognize rotation, tilt, or movement of the terminal in up, down, left, and right directions.

That is, the terminal controller 240 extracts only a desired band by removing a high frequency noise component from the motion signal of the terminal captured by the gyro sensor, and rotates the terminal up / down / left / right using a signal processed from the gyro signal. Tilt or movement can be recognized.

For example, when the terminal is rotated vertically by the user's operation, the terminal controller 240 may recognize that the terminal is rotated vertically using a gyro sensor and output a screen suitable for the portrait mode. When the terminal is rotated horizontally by the operation of the terminal control unit 240 is to recognize that the terminal is rotated horizontally by using a gyro sensor to output a first UI suitable for the landscape mode on the screen.

On the other hand, the position recognition unit is not only a gyro sensor, but also rotates the terminal up, down, left, and right by using sensors such as an angular velocity sensor, an acceleration sensor, an inclinometer, a tilt sensor, and a G sensor. Tilt or motion can be detected.
