Abstract: A method of performing data communication with a terminal and a receiver using the same enables viewing of a broadcast program and a video program of an external device outside the home. The method includes steps of receiving a control signal from a terminal via a network, the control signal including a request signal identifying a specific video program; processing, in response to the received control signal, the specific video program according to characteristic information of the terminal; and transmitting the processed video program to the terminal via the network. The characteristic information for the terminal may or may not be included in the control signal, since a system controller of the receiver may access a user information storage unit to retrieve terminal characteristic information indicating the appropriate format conversion for the terminal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for setting a language in a television receiver enable one language setting operation performed in a first menu, corresponding to one of a plurality of language-specific functions, to automatically set a preferred language for one or more other functions. The method includes steps of setting a language in a first menu according to a user selection, the first menu corresponding to one function of a plurality of language-specific functions; and automatically setting a language of at least one other function of the plurality of language-specific functions to the language set according to the user selection, the language of the at least one other function being set interoperably with the first menu. Thus, if at least one language is selected in the first menu, a language of at least one other function is set to the first-menu language.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a TV and a control method of the same which is capable of displaying function information or an error checkup menu etc. of a TV in accordance with a request of a user, in particular to a TV in accordance with the present invention comprises a service-related site server for providing function information and error item information of a product, a storing unit for storing proper information of the product and contact information of the service-related site, and a controlling unit for displaying the function information on a screen of the product by using the contact information and proper information and controlling in order to restore automatically an error occurred in the product, accordingly a user can be provided product information easily and an error occurred in a TV can be restored automatically.

Abstract: An image display apparatus and method are discussed. According to an embodiment, the image display apparatus includes a signal receiver configured to receive broadcasting signals including broadcasting schedule information, and to process the received broadcasting signals; a storage configured to store the broadcasting schedule information and at least one broadcasting material processed by the signal receiver; and a controller configured to determine whether at least part of a particular broadcasting material identified in the broadcasting schedule information is stored in the storage when a broadcasting schedule information display command is received from a user, and to output a control signal based on this determination result, so as to display modified broadcasting schedule information including information regarding the particular broadcasting material.

Abstract: A control method and a control system for a home network system in a multi-user environment are disclosed. The control system includes a plurality of slave devices, a user ID receiver receiving user ID data from a user, and a master device coupled to the slave devices for operation control. The master device includes a memory and a controller coupled to the memory and the user ID receiver. The memory initially prestores user-specific control settings preset by a plurality of preregistered users and user ID data of the preregistered users. Then, the controller authenticates the user upon receiving the user ID data from the user ID receiver, and it automatically controls operational functions of the slave devices according to the user-specific control settings of the authenticated user, which is extracted from the memory.

Abstract: Disclosed is a learning data base building method which can achieve data update in an optimum memory size and simultaneously build a systematic data configuration. Moreover, a video apparatus having a learning function and learning function control method therefor which can provide systematic, simple and effective learning by using a learning data base. The learning data base building method includes the steps of arranging vocabulary data in order of frequency in use thereof, grouping the arranged vocabulary data classified by subjects, and producing index for reading in consecutive order the groups of the vocabulary data classified by subjects.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a TV which is capable of displaying an OSD (On Screen Display) with a user request language and format, in particular to a TV having an OSD function and a control method of the same which is capable of generating a pertinent OSD by being provided a user OSD set menu and an OSD generation program corresponding to the original information of a TV, satisfying a desire of a user by displaying the generated OSD on a screen, and improving the convenience.
