DIGITAL BROADCAST RECEIVER CONTROLLED BY SCREEN REMOTE CONTROLLER AND SPACE REMOTE CONTROLLER AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A method is described for controlling a television. While receiving and displaying a broadcast signal on a screen of the television, the television receives a first signal from a remote controller and displays a control icon corresponding to the remote controller on the screen. The screen is partitioned into a first and second partition, the first partition being a broadcast signal display region continuing to display the broadcast signal, and the second partition being a television control region that includes television control icons and/or subregions. A second signal is wirelessly received from the remote controller, the second signal representing a movement of the remote controller. The control icon is moved across the screen of the television in response to the movement of the remote controller. A channel list is displayed based on whether the second sign is recognized within or out of the second partition.

主权项

1. A digital broadcast receiver controlled by a motion remote controller, the digital broadcast receiver comprising:
an infrared (IR) module configured to receive an IR signal from the motion remote controller; a controller configured to change a power-off state of the broadcast receiver into a power-on state of the broadcast receiver based on the received IR signal; and a radio frequency (RF) module configured to receive an RF signal from the motion remote controller, wherein the controller is further configured to:
display a screen remote controller in a predetermined region on a screen and during displaying of a broadcast program on the screen, wherein the screen remote controller comprises at least first, second and third control regions, the first control region corresponding to at least one number used to change at least one channel of the broadcast receiver, the second control region corresponding to at least one special character used to identify a major channel number with a minor channel number and the third control region corresponding to a function item for returning to a previous channel,move a position of a pointer within the screen remote controller based on movement information of the motion remote controller included in the RF signal, andchange a current channel into another channel in response to the pointer being located at a specific control region among the first, second and third control regions within the screen remote controller and a specific button signal being received from the motion remote controller.
