Embodiment Construction

[0033] Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of a user interface apparatus and method for processing a display object according to example embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of executing content by navigating a content list according to an example embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] In order to execute content such as broadcast programs, pictures, or music, a user executes a user interface displaying a content list (S410). At this time, the user interface may be selected by the user, or the user interface may be automatically executed from the device executing the content.

[0036] The user interface displays a content list including a plurality of contents, and forms part of the contents into blocks. Content belonging to a block is identified with an identifier by which a user can select content within the content. The identifier preferably includes ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a user interface for processing displayed objects. A user interface method for navigating displayed objects and selecting an object among the objects in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of grouping a predetermined portion of selectable objects into a block, mapping the selectable objects to selection input keys of the user input device, and activating an object among the selectable objects by the selection input key.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a user interface method and apparatus for manipulating display objects, and more particularly, to a user who can quickly and efficiently select and execute his or her desired content by navigating through a list of grouped content. Background technique [0002] The EGP (Electronic Program Guide) currently used in digital television is very similar in format to the broadcast program table commonly found in newspapers, so users can easily use the EPG. Typically, an EPG is structured to allow a user to select a desired program using a 4-way key mounted on a remote control device such as a remote control. The 4-direction key can also be used when the user searches multiple picture lists in the display device controlled by the remote control device to watch a specific picture or searches multiple music files to listen to specific music. [0003] However, when the 4-direction key is used to search a content list to execute c...
