Abstract: A method for executing a user command in a display device including receiving, from an input device, a signal that indicates a movement direction of the input device, determining the movement direction of the input device based on the received signal, determining one of a plurality of functions of the display device that corresponds to the movement direction from among the plurality of functions of the display device, and executing the determined function.

Abstract: A method for executing a user command based on spatial movement of a user input device and an image apparatus having the same are provided. According to the method for executing a user command, a user command which is determined based on the spatial movement of the user input device is executed. Accordingly, a method for inputting a user command becomes more diverse and convenient to use, and a more compact user input device may be provided.

Abstract: Provided are a remote controller and a method of controlling the remote controller, wherein the remote controller is operable to be in one of a first operating mode or a second operating mode, and which is connectable to a docking station, the remote controller including: an internal display screen, which displays at least one digital image; and a controller which may be operable to change between the first and second operating modes, wherein if the remote controller is connected to the docking station and if the remote controller is in the second operating mode, the controller controls the remote controller to change to the first operating mode to provide predetermined multimedia content.

Abstract: An information providing method and an electronic apparatus thereof are provided. According to the information providing method of the electronic apparatus, when a video call is made, a user making the video call is identified, at least one piece of information-of-interest of the identified user is acquired based on user's usage information on social network services (SNSs), and the at least one piece of information-of-interest is displayed on a video call screen.

Abstract: A method for providing Graphical User Interface (GUI) for selecting a broadcast channel, and a broadcast receiving apparatus having the same are provided. The GUI for selecting a broadcast channel includes a keypad having a pointer to be moved by manipulation of a user on a remote control apparatus and keys selectable by the pointer, and then the user is able to input a preferred broadcast channel by using the keypad and the pointer. Accordingly, the user is able to input a preferred broadcast channel without using the number keys, so the number keys may be omitted in the remote control apparatus. As a result, miniaturization of the remote control apparatus is possible.

Abstract: A method for executing a user command in a display device including receiving, from an input device, a signal that indicates a movement direction of the input device, determining the movement direction of the input device based on the received signal, determining one of a plurality of functions of the display device that corresponds to the movement direction from among the plurality of functions of the display device, and executing the determined function.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying a contents list. The method includes: displaying a loading image on a loading region to display a thumbnail image before the thumbnail image is displayed, animating the loading image displayed in the loading region such that a center coordinate of the loading image is maintained; and displaying the thumbnail image in the loading region, by substituting the loading image with the thumbnail image. The loading image represents a state in which the thumbnail image is loading, the animating the loading image comprises pivoting the loading image by a preset degree of an angle, and the pivoting the loading image by the preset degree of the angle comprises displaying a plurality of loading images by differentiating pivoting speeds of the plurality of loading images.

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: There are provided a video processing apparatus, a video processing system, and an information providing method in the video processing apparatus. The video processing apparatus includes: a communication part performing communication with a service providing server providing broadcasting services; a video processing part performing video processing with respect to the broadcasting services; an output part outputting information on the broadcasting services; and a controller controlling the communication part, the output part and the video processing part to transmit user information and viewing information with respect to the video processing apparatus to the service providing server, to receive recommendation information based on the user information and the viewing information from the service providing server, and to output the received recommendation information, respectively.
