FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a broadcast receiving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 9 to 17 are views referred to explain the operation method of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 8, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 accesses an electronic device for storing home screen information (S810).

The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can be connected to an electronic apparatus by an electronic apparatus connection input. Here, the electronic device may be an adjacent mobile terminal.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), a case where the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 approach each other within a predetermined distance and are tagged will be exemplified. Thereby, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can be connected to the mobile terminal 600c by the near field communication by the network interface unit 130. [

As another example, as shown in Fig. 11C, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can be connected to the server 700 via the network 1107. Fig. For example, when specific user login information for the server 700 is input, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can access the server 700 by wire communication or wireless communication by the network interface unit 130 .

On the other hand, the home screen information stored in the electronic device may be home screen information used in the electronic device. Alternatively, home screen information used in other electronic devices may be stored by an electronic device connected to the broadcast receiving device.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 approach each other within a predetermined distance and are tagged, the mobile terminal 600c transmits, The home screen information for the user can be stored.

As another example, when the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 connects to the server 700 via the network 1107 by the specific user login information of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100, the server 700 , And may store home screen information for the mobile terminal 600a, which is used by a specific user, among the home screen information stored therein. As described later, home screen information about the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user can be transmitted to the broadcast receiving apparatus.

On the other hand, the home screen information may include a background image and a plurality of execution items. For example, FIG. 10A illustrates that the main home screen of the home screen information is displayed on the mobile terminal 600b. The main home screen 1010 of FIG. 10A may include a background image 1011 and a plurality of application items 1012. 10A, when the main home screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 600b and there is a screen switching input, the screen is switched to display a first sub-home screen including another background image and additional application items . Thus, according to the user setting and input, the additional sub-home screen can be continuously displayed.

On the other hand, the home screen information described in this specification includes, as shown in Fig. 10 (a), a background image 1011, a main home screen including a plurality of application items 1012, A sub-home screen including an image and additional application items, and the like.

Since the home screen information includes a background image and a plurality of execution items, the home screen information may be called home launcher information or home screen launcher information, but is hereinafter collectively referred to as home screen information.

Next, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 receives the home screen information from the connected electronic device (S820).

12 (a), when the mobile terminal 600c and the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 are connected by near field communication, the network interface unit 130 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 transmits, The home screen information of the mobile terminal 600c can be received through the near field communication module.

In order to receive the home screen information, the mobile terminal 600c may be in the state of entering the external transmission mode for transmitting the used home screen information to the outside. When the mobile terminal 600c enters the external transmission mode, the home screen information of the user of the mobile terminal 600c is stored in the near field communication module in the mobile terminal 600c, and when the mobile terminal 600c is tagged with the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 , The network interface unit 130 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 can receive the home screen information of the mobile terminal 600c through the near field communication module.

11C, when the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 accesses the server 700 with specific user login information, the network interface unit 130 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 transmits the login information to the server 700 And can receive home screen information about the mobile terminal 600a used by the stored specific user.

For receiving the home screen information, the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user can enter the external transmission mode as shown in FIG. 11B. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 600a used by a specific user can transmit the home screen information of the mobile terminal 600a to the server 700 through the network 1105, and as shown in FIG. 11C, The broadcast receiving apparatus 100 transmits the home screen information of the mobile terminal 600a from the server 700 via the network 1107 to the server 700 in accordance with the user login information .

Next, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 scales at least one of the background image or the plurality of execution items in the home screen information (S830).

The control unit 170 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 may scale at least one of the background image or the plurality of execution items in the home screen information received through the network interface unit 130. [

For example, when the home screen is received and the information of the electronic device in which the home screen is used, in particular, the screen setting information of the electronic device, is received together, the control unit 170 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 transmits, It is possible to scale at least one of the background image or the plurality of execution items in the received home screen information in consideration of the screen setting information beam and the screen setting information of the electronic device. Preferably, both the background image and the plurality of execution items can be scaled.

Here, the screen setting information may include at least one of resolution information, horizontal / vertical mode information, aspect ratio information, and horizontal / vertical size information.

On the other hand, the scaling of the home screen may be a concept including at least one of switching the aspect ratio in the home screen, switching the horizontal mode or the vertical mode of the home screen, or changing the size of the background image, execution item image or text in the home screen .

Further, the scaling of the home screen may be a concept that includes scaling only a part of the background image in the home screen, or scaling only some items among the execution items.

Such scaling can also be performed selectively by user input. It is also possible to divide a part of the home screen and to scale only the divided area according to the user setting.

Next, the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 displays a home screen including a scaled background image or an execution item (S840).

The control unit 170 of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 controls the display 180 to display a home screen including a scaled background image or an execution item

For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the scaled home screen 1020 is displayed on the display (not shown) of the broadcast receiving apparatus 100 as compared with the home screen 1010 of the mobile terminal 600b of FIG. 180 < / RTI >

This makes it possible to share a home screen to be used for each of a plurality of electronic apparatuses for a specific user, thereby enhancing user convenience.

In particular, the home screen of the mobile terminal can be used as a home screen of a broadcast receiving apparatus such as a TV. Thus, when a broadcast receiving apparatus such as a TV is used, the user can use the broadcast receiving apparatus just as the user uses the mobile terminal.

On the other hand, if there is a shared home screen display input while displaying a predetermined image, it is also possible to display the home screen. In this case, when a plurality of home screens are shared, the displayed home screen may be a home screen related to the displayed image. For example, if there is a shared home screen display input while watching a sports video, it is also possible to select and display a home screen having a home screen including a sports image or an execution item related to sports among a plurality of home screens .

On the other hand, when displaying a home screen, it can be displayed together with a broadcast image. Accordingly, at least one of the broadcast image or the scaled home screen may be displayed transparently.

Alternatively, only a part of the scaled home screen may be displayed. For example, according to the user input, only a part of the scaled home screen may be displayed together with the broadcast image. This makes it possible to easily grasp at least a part of the contents of the shared home screen while watching the broadcast video.
