Abstract: A contents navigation method includes: sensing a touch; generating sensing information based on the sensed touch; and determining, by using the sensing information, whether the sensed touch is a continuous movement, by sensing an electrical sensor, or a pressing, by sensing a mechanical button. If it is determined that the sensed touch is a continuous movement, a menu display is rotated according to the continuous movement of the electrical sensor based on the sensing information. If it is determined that the sensed touch is a pressing, the menu display is rotated according to the pressing of the mechanical button. A contents navigation apparatus includes: a graphic user interface (GUI) part to generate the menu display; an input sensing part to sense a touch and to generate sensing information based on the sensed touch; and a control part to control the GUI part.

Abstract: Disclosed are control method and system based on a preset mode, and more particularly to a control method and system based on a preset mode, wherein key code values of a plurality of external input channels are selectively set for an image output device and an audio-output device so a source-input device, an image output device, and an audio-output device are controlled simultaneously by simple inputs from a remote controller having a separate power-on and power-off button as well as a setting button.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling the operation of a screen saver during reproduction of content. The method includes the operations of receiving an instruction to reproduce content, checking whether the operation of the screen saver can be controlled, calculating a reproduction time of the content if the operation of the screen saver is controllable, and changing a set time of the screen saver so that the screen saver is not operated during the reproduction time.
