| 20080259025 | DEVICE FOR USER INTERFACE USING ROTATABLE INPUT DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING USER INTERFACE - Provided are a device for a user interface for efficient navigation and a method of operating the device interface. The device for a user interface includes a rotatable input device which is manipulated by a user, a contact detection device which detects whether the user contacts the rotatable input device and generates a first input signal if it is detected that that the user contacts the rotatable input device, a rotation detection device which detects a rotation of the input device and generates a second input signal if the rotation of the input device is detected, and a control device which performs a first operation based on at least one of the first and second input signals. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090015593 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY CHANGING COLOR - Provided are a method and an apparatus for automatically changing a color of a user interface of an image displaying apparatus, and a computer readable recording medium storing a program for executing the method. The method of automatically changing the color includes: analyzing a color distribution of a predetermined image; determining a representative color based on the analyzed color distribution; and setting a color of a predetermined region in an apparatus displaying the image as the representative color. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090237368 | USER INPUT APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE BY USING THE USER INPUT APPARATUS - Provided is a user input apparatus for controlling an image display device including: a first input unit receiving an instruction to perform a predetermined function of controlling the image display device when a discontinuous signal is received; a second input unit coupled to the first input unit and receiving an instruction to perform a predetermined function of controlling the image display device when a continuous signal is received; and a controller generating a control signal for performing a second function in conjunction with a first function in the image display device when the continuous signal is received from the second input unit within a predetermined period of time after an instruction to perform the first function of controlling the image display device is received from the first input unit. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090295549 | DISPLAY TAG, DISPLAY TAG SYSTEM HAVING DISPLAY TAG, AND METHOD FOR WRITING DISPLAY TAG INFORMATION - A display tag is provided. A display tag includes a sensing unit which captures an image displayed on a screen of an external tag writer, if a sensing unit is disposed opposite the screen; and a display unit which displays a captured image. Therefore, a user can visually recognize content related to tag information, and thus user convenience is enhanced. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090299541 | CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A control device which controls the power of a plurality of apparatuses in a home network, and a method thereof are provided. The control device includes an input unit which receives a power off command, and a control unit which concurrently turns off apparatuses which are currently turned on among the plurality of apparatuses in response to the power off command received by the input unit. Therefore, it is possible for a user to concurrently turn off currently running apparatuses so user convenience can increase. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090300620 | CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE (UI) THEREOF - A control device which displays menus generated based on tasks is provided. The control device includes an input unit which receives a user command for performing a task, and a control unit which, if a task to be performed is selected via the input unit, generates a menu list showing menus for each of a plurality of apparatuses available to perform the selected task. Therefore, it is possible for a user to conveniently perform a desired task. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090320024 | CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A control device for displaying a menu generated based on the media included in the devices within a home network. The control device includes a media information collection unit which collects information on media that can be processed by devices within a home network, a control unit which generates a task list for tasks that can be performed based on the collected information, and a display unit which displays the generated task list. A user thereby may control the devices within a home network using the menu generated based on the media included in the devices, making it possible to improve convenience to the user. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100118195 | REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF, AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS CONTROLLED BY REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE - A remote control device capable of being separated into two or more parts is provided. The remote control device includes a first remote controller, and a second remote controller which is capable of being connected to or separated from the first remote controller. If the first remote controller and the second remote controller are connected, the first remote controller and the second remote controller may function as a single unit, or if not, the first remote controller and the second remote controller may function as individual units. | 05-13-2010 |
