A method and apparatus for fast access to internet applications (apps) using a remote control is disclosed herein. The method includes accessing a web app group, selecting an app from the web app group, adding the selected app to an input list, and accessing the selected app via an input button on the remote control.

An image processing terminal for performing a different operation according to a force input and upgrade of software and a method of upgrading the software are disclosed. The image processing terminal comprises a processor, a memory connected to the processor and a communication unit configured to receive a control signal having information concerning a force input from a remote controller or receive control command information and updated control command information from a computer processing device or a storage device, according to a selection of a key by a user. Here, the memory stores program commands by which the processor performs different operations or different screens according to the control command information or the updated control command information though the control signal corresponding to the force input to the same key is received from the remote controller.

An image processing terminal and a method for controlling an external device are disclosed. The image processing terminal comprises a receiving unit configured to receive a control signal including information about a normal input or a force input applied to a specific key of a remote controller; and a processor configured to control the image processing terminal or an external device connected to the image processing terminal according to the received control signal. Here, the processor controls an operation of the external device in response to the force input applied to the specific key of the remote controller, an operation of controlling the external device according to the force input applied to the specific key is different from an operation of controlling the image processing terminal or an operation of controlling the external device according to the normal input applied to the specific key.

An electronic apparatus, control method thereof, remote control apparatus that controls the electronic apparatus, and control method thereof. The remote control apparatus includes a communication unit which communicates with the electronic apparatus; a user input unit which receives a user button selection indicating an input button; a sensing unit which senses movement of the remote control apparatus; and a control unit which controls the communication unit to transmit information about the user button selection to perform a function corresponding to the input button if the remote control apparatus is in a button input mode, and to transmit information about the movement of the remote control apparatus to the electronic apparatus to control the electronic apparatus by the movement if the remote control apparatus is in a motion recognition mode. Accordingly, controlling a game or a multimedia content is easier, and the user is provided with a new and interesting experience.

Disclosed are a first display device including a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with a second display device, a display, and a controller configured to transmit data on specific content to the second display device when a user command corresponding to output of the specific content is received by the second display device through the wireless communication interface, and a second display device including a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with the first display device, a display, and a controller configured to transmit specific content to the display when data on the specific content is received from the first display device through the wireless communication interface.

There is provided a technique for easily determining a position of a page that is displayed in an electronic document. A television receiver (1) includes a table-of-contents image generating unit (112) that generates a table-of-contents image which represents a table of contents of an electronic document and which is to be displayed on a display, the table of contents having two or more layers; and a text image generating unit (113) that generates a text image which represents a text of the electronic document and which is to be displayed on the display. The table-of-contents image generating unit changes an upper-level item that is opened in a generated table-of-contents image to a changed upper-level item, in response to a change of an upper-level item including an item corresponding to the text image generated by the text image generating unit.

The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for configuring a user interface of a portable mobile communication device. An exemplary method includes determining, by at least one of the portable mobile communication device or an electronic device in communication with the portable mobile communication device, a direction associated with a user's gaze. Additionally, the method includes at least one of: in response to determining the direction associated with the user's gaze is at least partially towards a display associated with the electronic device, configuring the portable mobile communication display to function as a touch pad that enables interaction with a user interface displayed on the electronic device; or in response to determining the direction associated with the user's gaze is at least partially towards a display associated with the portable mobile communication device, configuring the portable mobile communication device display to display a user interface.
