7 illustrates an example of a screen displayed when loading is completed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, it is possible to select whether to execute the loaded content after the loading content is completed or to continue the application 'GoStop' that was being executed. If the user is interested in the 'GoStop' game and wants to continue, the user can select 'Continue the game', and if the user wants to play the content that is being loaded, the user can select 'Play music file'. In other words, even when the loading ends, the user's choice can be widened.
8 is a flowchart illustrating an application processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In step S11, the content providing server is connected on the video display device.
In step S12, the content to be executed is selected.
In operation S13, the image display device determines an overall loading time of the selected content. In determining the loading time, the metadata of the content, the total capacity of the content stored in the metadata, and the loaded capacity may be used.
In step S14, it is determined whether the loading time exceeds a predetermined time. The predetermined time can be a typical time that is felt boring to wait for loading from a human standpoint. The predetermined time may be preset or input.
In step S15, when the loading time exceeds a predetermined time, the application is executed. Prior to this, an execution selection of an application by a user may be input.
In step S16, as the completion of loading of the content approaches, a usage record of the application may be stored.
In step S17, the loading time is completed, the loading is completed and the loaded content can be executed. Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 7, even when loading is terminated, the user may continue the running application.
Steps S16 and S17 may be reversed. For example, when loading is terminated and the user executes the content, the executed application is terminated and the usage record of the application may be stored at this time.
Thus, the video display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, when loading other content later, extracts the latest usage state for the previously executed application, and can execute the application from that point of time based on the latest usage state. By doing so, application continuity can be maintained.
The image display device and the application processing method according to the present invention are not limited to the configuration and method of the embodiments described as described above, but the embodiments are all or part of each embodiment so that various modifications can be made. May be optionally combined.
On the other hand, the application processing method of the image display device of the present invention can be implemented as a processor-readable code on a processor-readable recording medium provided in the image display device. The processor-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by the processor is stored. Examples of the processor-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage device, and the like, and may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave such as transmission over the Internet. . The processor-readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the processor-readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
