Abstract: A display apparatus and a method for scheduling a broadcast using the same. The broadcast scheduling method includes generating a program information table, in which broadcast information is arranged, if a broadcast program selected by a user in the program information table is moved into an area adjacent to an icon, displaying the broadcast program being added to an item folder, and scheduling the broadcast program.

Abstract: A method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) and an electronic device using the method are provided. The method includes forming one or more groups of GUI items other than a GUI item selected by a user, moving the GUI items in the one or more groups, and enlarging and displaying the selected item on an area formed by movement of the GUI items. Therefore, it is possible to provide a GUI which enables easy manipulation and which is displayed with superior visual effect on a screen that is relatively small in size.

Abstract: Disclosed are a main image processing apparatus, a sub image processing apparatus and a control method thereof. The control method of the sub image processing apparatus includes receiving a user's touch input through the sub image processing apparatus; determining which contents correspond to a touched area where the touch input occurs; sensing change in location of the touch input; and transmitting a control command for the contents to the main image processing apparatus in response to the sensed change in the location of the touch input. With this, it is more convenient for a user to control the main image processing apparatus through the sub image processing apparatus supporting the touch input.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for displaying a contents list. The method includes: displaying a loading image, which is preset for displaying, on a loading region to display a thumbnail image corresponding to contents of the loading image, wherein the loading image corresponds to the thumbnail images; animating the loading image displayed in the loading region; and displaying the thumbnail image in the loading region, by substituting the thumbnail image for the loading image.

Abstract: Disclosed are a display apparatus which displays contents and a method of controlling the same, the display apparatus including: a display unit; a user selection unit; a user interface generator which generates user interface information; an image processor; and a controller which controls the user interface generator to generate a guide image indicating a contents search mode on an edge of the display unit if performing a first operation to set up the contents search mode through the user selection unit, displays searched contents if performing a second operation to search contents while displaying the guide image, and controls the image processor to play selected contents if performing a third operation to select contents from searched contents.

Abstract: An on-screen-display (OSD) item displaying method and a display apparatus applying the OSD item displaying method. In the method an OSD menu containing a plurality of OSD items is displayed on an OSD menu display area, and when an event occurs, an event OSD item associated with the event may be displayed using the OSD menu display area and a content display area. Therefore, the display apparatus can selectively display the OSD menu on the content display area, which enables a user to more easily recognize important information.

Abstract: A method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) and a broadcast receiving apparatus applying the same are provided. According to the method for providing a GUI in the broadcast receiving apparatus, a list of pieces of item information pertaining to an item selected from among a plurality of items is displayed, wherein the pieces of item information may be acquired through a network. Therefore, if a user selects a specific item, it is possible to automatically provide the user with a list of item information which pertains to the selected item and which may be acquired through a network.

Abstract: An input device for effective navigation, a user interface device and a user interface method, and a computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program to perform the method, the user interface device including a display unit, a rotatable input unit used to instruct a movement and a selection of a highlighted item in the display unit, and a control unit to control the device to perform a function corresponding to the received signal when a movement signal or a rotation signal is received from the input unit.

Abstract: A user interface apparatus and method requiring a limited number of input keys, and a computer-readable recording medium storing the same, the user interface apparatus including a display unit to display a menu; an input unit to include one or more input keys; and a control unit to control a creation of a menu screen having a layout that is visually similar to the layout of the input unit, a display of the menu on the display unit, and a selection of a menu item determined according to the layout in response to a key input via the input unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a UI generating part to generate a first user interface including at least one UI menu item to select a function; a user input part to receive a user instruction to adjust a size of the UI menu item; and a controller to control the UI generating part to increase or decrease the size of the UI menu item of the first user interface depending on the user instruction, and display the UI menu item with the increased or decreased size.

Abstract: A display apparatus comprises: a user interface (UI) generator which generates a UI having a plurality of regions in which at least one of a plurality, of menu items is displayed to select an operation; a display unit which displays the UI; a user input unit which receives a command to edit the menu items; and a controller which controls the UI generator to edit an arrangement of the menu items on the UI according to the command.

Abstract: Provided are a user interface method of enabling a user to conveniently use a terminal allowing multi-tasking, and a computer readable recording medium storing the method. The user interface method includes classifying applications capable of being executed by the apparatus into groups, in such a manner as to classify one or more applications that perform similar functions into the same group; and displaying a window for executing a corresponding application, for each of the groups.
