An image display apparatus includes a display configured to display a first image corresponding to a region of a 360-degree image, and to display an indicator in a three-dimensional (3D) shape including a pointer pointing to a location of the region, a sensor configured to sense an input for moving the region, and a controller configured to control movement of the region and to display a second image corresponding to a region to which the region has been moved, and to move the pointer within the indicator based on the movement of the region. The pointer is movable in an altitudinal direction and an azimuthal direction within the indicator.

A display device includes a display unit configured to display a plurality of pieces of content received from a plurality of source devices connected to the display device; and a control unit configured to receive a control activation request for a first source device of the plurality of source devices from a remote control device, activate control of the first source device in response to the received control activation request, and control an operation of the first source device in response to the signal received from the remote control device.

Disclosed is an operating method of an image display apparatus. The operating method includes displaying a first image on a display, displaying a first pointer on the display, the first pointer being linked to a first remote control device, displaying a second pointer on the display, the second pointer being linked to a second remote control device, the second pointer having a different shape than the first pointer, receiving a first user screen view command from the first remote control device, displaying a second image, the second image being a demagnified version of the first image, and displaying a first user screen on an area of the display where the second image is not displayed.

A remote controller is provided. More particularly, the remote controller may control a display device using a tilt switch. The remote controller may control different functions of the display device using a plurality of extending portions of the tilt switch.

A method is implemented at an Internet-connected remote control device for reviewing content channels on an Internet-connected display device that is associated with the remote control device via a user account maintained at a server. In response to receiving a user actuation of a user button, the remote control identifies a first Internet content channel that is currently being displayed on the display device, and obtains a preferred channel list including a sequence of Internet content channels that is associated with the user account and includes the first Internet content channel. The remote control then identifies a second Internet content channel that follows the first Internet content channel in the preferred channel list, and transmits to the server a first channel change message including information of the second Internet content channel to cause the Internet-connected display device to display media content provided by the second content channel.

The present invention discloses a multimedia device capable of processing a recognized speech-based command. In one embodiment, the device may include a memory to store at least one application therein; an application manager for executing any of the at least one application stored in the memory; and a controller configured to receive from the application manager a list of at least one recognized speech-based command that can be executed by the executed application, wherein the controller is configured: to control a network interface module to transmit any speech-based data received from an outside and the list to the server; and to control the executed application or execute a function non-specific to the currently-executed application, based on a feedback result value received from the server via the network interface module.

Implementations generally relate to a message system. In some implementations, a method includes detecting activation of a screen saver that is displayed on a user interface associated with a television platform. The method further includes determining one or more messages to be displayed on the user interface in response to the detecting of the activation of the screen saver. The method further includes displaying the one or more messages on the user interface based on one or more predetermined policies. The method further includes removing the one or more messages from the user interface based on the one or more predetermined policies.

A display device is provided, which includes a jog switch which performs a moving operation in a plurality of directions and a push operation, a display unit which displays a first user interface (UI) for adjusting a channel or a volume of the display device or a second UI for adjusting other functions of the display device in accordance with a first operation of the jog switch, and a control unit which adjusts a selected function of the display device in accordance with a second operation of the jog switch in which is performed in a state where the first UI or the second UI is displayed. The jog switch is formed to project for a predetermine height from a surface of the display device, and thus a user can find the jog switch easily and promptly even is the jog switch is obstructed from view.

An architecture to assemble and manage usage information and populate one or more panels in an intelligent TV. The architecture includes a usage statistics provider module adapted to assemble one or more of usage information and installation information and query the one or more of usage information and installation information to populate one or more of icons and information in a view or panel on the intelligent TV. The architecture further includes a panel manager adapted to assemble the one or more of icons and information into a requested view. A display controller displays the view on a display of the intelligent TV. A silo manager sorts information in at least one panel subcategory based at least on the one or more of usage information and installation information, where the at least one subpanel panel includes a plurality of icons each representing an app or content.

Remote control devices to interface with audience measurement meters are disclosed. An example remote control device to interface with an audience measurement meter includes an audience management controller to, responsive to a gender value input via a user interface of the remote control device, store the gender value, responsive to an age value input via the user interface of the remote control device, store the age value, generate a message including the gender value and age value, and a transmitter to transmit the message to the audience measurement meter, the message including a sequence of infrared codes.
