Abstract

An image display device includes: a tuner for receiving a broadcasting signal; a control unit for setting an OSD language or a caption language by extracting language information from the received image display device, and outputting the received broadcasting signal and multimedia data inputted from an external device; a storage unit for storing a plurality of language data; and a communication unit for transmitting information on the OSD language or the caption language to the external device, and receiving the multimedia data including audio data or caption data.

Claims

1. An image display device comprising:

a tuner for receiving a broadcasting signal;

a control unit for setting an OSD language or a caption language by extracting language information from the received image display device, and outputting the received broadcasting signal and multimedia data inputted from an external device;

a storage unit for storing a plurality of language data; and

a communication unit for transmitting information on the OSD language or the caption language to the external device, and receiving the multimedia data including audio data or caption data.

2. The image display device according to claim 1, wherein the external device is a recording medium reproducing apparatus.

3. The image display device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit extracts the language information from TTX (teletex) of the received broadcasting signal or a caption unicode set.

4. The image display device according to claim 1, wherein when it is possible for the external device to select and reproduce the OSD language or the caption language, the communication unit receives the multimedia data reproduced in the same language as the OSD language or the caption language.

5. An image display device comprising:

a tuner for receiving a broadcasting signal;

a storage unit for storing a plurality of language data;

a control unit for extracting language information from the broadcasting signal, setting an OSD language or a caption language to an extracted language when the extracted language information coincides with any one of the language data stored in the storage unit, and controlling the received broadcasting signal to be outputted.

6. The image display device according to claim 5, wherein the control unit extracts the language information from a TTX (teletex) of the received broadcasting signal or a caption unicode set.

7. A displaying method comprising:

transmitting a set language information to an external device;

receiving multimedia data reproduced according to the language information from the external device; and

outputting the multimedia data.

8. The displaying method according to claim 7, wherein the external device is a recording medium reproducing apparatus.

9. The displaying method according to claim 7, wherein the multimedia data is video data including at least one of an audio data and a caption data.

10. The displaying method according to claim 7, wherein the language information is an OSD language or a caption language.

11. A recording medium reproducing apparatus comprising:

a recording medium reproduction unit for reproducing a recording medium;

a communication unit connected to an image display device to receive a language information of an OSD language or a caption language of the image display device and transmit a reproduced multimedia data according to the received language information; and

a control unit for selecting a reproduction language from the recording medium according to the language information and reproducing the multimedia data.

12. The recording medium reproducing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein when the reproduction language coinciding with the language information is not stored in the recording medium, the control unit reproduces the recording medium in a reproduction language initially set in the recording medium.
