Patent number: 8659708Abstract: The present invention relates to Digital Television (DTV) controlled by a 3-Dimensional (3-D) pointing device, including a receiving unit configured to receive an operation signal generated by a manipulation for the 3-D pointing device; a display configured to display a movable indicator and at least one pop-up object selectable by the indicator when the operation signal is received; and a controller configured to generate a control signal corresponding to the received operation signal and to make the indicator disappear from the display if the operation signal is not received during a preset first time. According to the present invention, the 3-D pointing device may not transmit an operation signal if the 3-D pointing device is not manipulated during a set time. Accordingly, the period for which the power source of the 3-D pointing device is used can be increased by optimizing the consumption of the power source of the 3-D pointing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Sanghyun Cho, Joomin Kim, Gyuseung Kim, Janghee Lee, Jaekyung Lee, Youngwan Lim, Sijin Kim, Youk Kwon, Kunsik Lee

Publication number: 20140033253Abstract: The present invention relates to an image display device and a method for operating same. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for operating an image display device uses a remote controller, and comprises the steps of: displaying a pointer in a first area of a display; receiving movement coordinate information of the pointer from the remote controller; restoring the first area using a prestored image when the first area does not overlap a second area where a pointer is displayed, based on the movement coordinate information; storing an image of the second area; and displaying a pointer in the second area. This enables the pointer of the remote controller to be easily displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2012Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventors: Sang Hyun Cho, Woo Seok Ahn, Youk Kwon, Jang Hee Lee, Young Wau Lim
