- control unit (170) may synthesize or create a present image (P13) or a future image (P14) of a person based on a past image (P12) of the person through the artificial intelligence. This can be implemented by adjusting facial features and skin tones in a person image, making the skin smooth or rough, and removing or creating wrinkles.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a screen displayed on the video display device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
- control unit (170) when entering the setting menu of the video display device (100), the control unit (170) can display a login screen (or account setting screen) (6000) on the display (180).
- the above login screen may display at least one icon (6010, 6020) of a preset account and an icon (6030) for adding an account.
- the above user can log in by selecting his/her account icon from at least one account icon (6010, 6020).
- the user can log in by creating a new account through the add account icon (6030).
- control unit (170) may display a user guide (6100) on the display (180) to guide the user's use of the video display device (100).
- the user guide (6100) may be displayed when the user manipulates a menu and/or when a specific event occurs (e.g., an external device connection event).
- a guide agent (6110) may be displayed on the user guide (6100).
- the guide agent (6110) may be, for example, a virtual human.
- control unit (170) can change, create or synthesize the appearance of the guide agent (6110) so that the appearance of the guide agent (6110) appears to age naturally over time.
- the changing, creating or synthesizing of the appearance is as described in Fig. 10. Accordingly, the user can feel as if the image display device (100) is a companion device while watching the change in the appearance of the guide agent (6110).
- the above-described present disclosure can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a medium in which a program is recorded.
- the computer-readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like, and also includes those implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission via the Internet).
- the computer may include a control unit (170) of an image display device and a control unit (280) of a remote control device.
