3, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 receives a channel list configured in response to a user input and matching information (e.g., matching advertisement contents, channel related guide information, channel related broadcast contents Information, etc.) on the screen of the broadcast receiving terminal 140 (step S310). The user input may be a button input from the RCU 170 (e.g., a numeric key or a predefined special key), an input interface implemented on the broadcast receiving terminal 140 (e.g., a keypad, a button, Touch or the like). The channel list and matching information may be displayed in a transparent or translucent form so as not to interfere with the viewing of the broadcast content of the currently selected channel and may be displayed in a predetermined area of the screen of the broadcast receiving terminal 140 Top right, bottom right of the screen, etc.).

The channel list configured in response to user input may be configured in a variety of ways. For example, the channel list configured in response to user input may be a direct channel access (DCA) list. In this case, the channel list may be generated as a channel autocomplete list according to user input. For example, when the number '1' is inputted through the user input, the channel list may be generated as a list of channels including the number '1' (for example, channel 1, channel 11, channel 111, Also, the channel list configured in response to the user input may be composed of 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 inputted through the user input, if the channel 1 is a news channel, the channel list is a list of news channels including the channel 1 (for example, a news channel 1, a news channel 9, , News channel 23). In addition, the channel list configured in response to the user input may be composed of a specific channel corresponding to the user input and a predetermined plurality of recommended channels mapped to the specific channel. For example, a channel list may be generated such that other channels provided by a broadcaster such as a specific channel input by the user are included in the channel list. Also, the channel list configured in response to the user input may be composed of a specific channel corresponding to the user input and a plurality of user preference channels. For example, the channel list can be generated such that the channels that are frequently viewed by the user, determined through the viewing history in the broadcast receiving terminal 140, or the channels that are most watched by all users using the broadcasting service are included in the channel list.

Matching information matched with the channel list can also be matched in various ways. The matching information matching the generated channel list may be information matched to the channel group of the 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 can be matched to the channel list and displayed. Also, the information matched with the generated channel list may be individual channel matching information associated with each channel constituting the channel list. In this case, it is also possible to display only individual channel matching information for one channel according to a predetermined setting, or sequentially display matching information related to each channel of the channel list in accordance with a predetermined timing. In addition, information to be matched with the generated channel list may be information common to all channels (for example, when the corresponding information should be frequently exposed by sponsorship).

Displaying the matching information matched with the channel list and the channel list displays common information, channel group matching information matched with the channel group of the channels constituting the channel list, and individual channel matching information of the channel list together with the channel list Lt; / RTI > 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 performs a subsequent procedure (e.g., steps S320 and S330) Can be performed.

The matching information may be displayed in the form of text information, image information, QR code, moving picture clip, etc., according to an implementation example. The matching information is linked to a target action for providing additional information. For example, the target action may include additional information associated with matching information, such as displaying additional side information associated with the matching information, triggering execution of the application associated with the matching information, selecting VOD content associated with the matching information, participating in an event associated with the matching information, Or operations.

The user can select a target action for the matching information through the broadcast receiving terminal 140 (step S320). The selection of the target action for the matching information may be performed, for example, by clicking on the displayed matching information, clicking on a predetermined area of the screen of the broadcast receiving terminal 140 (e.g., clicking on the selection icon) And can be accomplished by an operation operation such as a determined key or key combination. When the user selects the target action for the matching information, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 can execute the target action linked with the selected matching information in response to the user's selection (step S330).

Also, as described later, the method for providing the sub information matched to the channel list according to the embodiment of the present invention may adaptively change and display the matching information according to the additional user input subsequent to step S310 .

First, after displaying the channel list and the matching information, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 may receive the navigation operation of the user moving the focus from the displayed channel list to another channel (step S340). For example, in the channel list composed of the channel 1, the channel 11, the channel 111 and the channel 123, the focus is initially focused on the channel 1, and the focus can be moved to the channel 11 by a direction key operation of the user interface or a click on the screen. In this case, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 may display matching information matched with a specific channel whose focus has been shifted in accordance with the navigation operation (step S350). For example, initially, when an advertisement matching a channel list is displayed together with a channel list and the focus is moved to the channel 11, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 changes the previously displayed advertisement and outputs matching information 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 the matching information, the broadcast receiving terminal 140 may display the channel list configured in response to the additional user input and the matching information matching the channel list (step S360). For example, when the channel 1, the channel 11, the channel 111, and the channel 123 are generated as the channel list by the first user input number '1' and subsequently the additional input '2' is received, Display a new channel list comprising channels 12 and 123 in response to user inputs '1' and '2', and display matching information matching the new channel list 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).

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

The channel list 410 shown in FIG. 4 shows only a channel number for convenience of explanation. However, in order to provide information on a channel to a user according to an embodiment, a channel name (e.g., MBC, KBS, etc.) And additional information such as a genre (e.g., news channel, movie channel, etc.) can be displayed in the channel list. In addition, the matching information 420 may be displayed along with the channel list 410. 4 illustrates that the matching information 420 is located at the lower end of the channel list 410. The matching information 420 may be a different area on the screen (for example, the left area of the channel list 410) Lt; / RTI >

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

For example, when the channel list 410 shown in FIG. 4 is assigned a focus (indicated by a bold solid line) on the channel 1 and a downward navigation operation is received, the channel list 510 shown in FIG. 5 Similarly, the focus can be moved to channel 11, which is the lower channel. In this case, the matching information is changed so that the information 520 matching the channel 11 can be displayed.

6 is an exemplary screen in which a channel list configured according to an additional user input and matching information matched to 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, the channel list 610 shown in FIG. A new channel list including channel 12 and channel 123 may be displayed in response to user inputs '1' and '2'. In this case, the matching information may be changed and information 620 matching the new channel list 610 may be displayed.

With this configuration, the present invention can provide the user using the broadcast service with the channel list as well as the customized supplementary information matched to the channel list, thereby exposing the supplementally targeted information effectively to the user.
