BROADCAST RECEIVER FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A broadcast reception apparatus for providing supplemental information and a method thereof are provided to make a user to view detailed content and download contents without entering every menu in order to receive the supplemental information. An input unit(110) has a ticker shortcut key. A signal reception unit(120) receives a broadcasting signal and supplemental information. A signal processing unit(140) processes the broadcasting signal and outputs it onto a screen. The signal processing unit displays the supplemental information on one side of the screen in a ticker manner. When the ticker shortcut key is selected, a control unit(130) controls the signal processing unit so that it outputs detailed information of the supplemental information onto the whole screen. A communication unit exchanges data with a server for providing the supplemental information. The control unit requests the detailed information of the supplemental information to the server if the ticker shortcut key is selected, and controls the communication unit so that it provides the detailed information to the signal processing unit if the detailed information is received.
