Abstract

There is provided a broadcasting receiving apparatus. The broadcasting receiving apparatus includes: a receiver which receives a broadcasting signal of a broadcasting channel; a UI generator which generates a data broadcasting UI; and a controller which controls the UI generator to generate a channel data broadcasting UI including a data broadcasting item corresponding to broadcasting contents of a tuned broadcasting channel if data broadcasting is received through the receiver.

Claims

1. A broadcasting receiving apparatus, comprising:

a receiver which receives a broadcasting signal of a broadcasting channel;

a user interface (UI) generator which generates a data broadcasting UI; and

a controller which controls the UI generator to generate a channel data broadcasting UI including a data broadcasting item corresponding to broadcasting contents of a tuned broadcasting channel if data broadcasting is received through the receiver.

2. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the broadcasting contents are included in service information of the tuned broadcasting channel.

3. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a storage unit, wherein

the controller builds a database including the data broadcasting item of the data broadcasting and stores the database in the storage unit.

4. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller selects a data broadcasting item equal to a keyword of the service information of the tuned broadcasting channel from the database, and controls the UI generator to generate the channel data broadcasting UI comprising the selected data broadcasting item.

5. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the channel data broadcasting UI further comprises an item on the service information of the tuned broadcasting channel.

6. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a user input unit, wherein

the controller controls the UI generator to display or conceal the data broadcasting UI according to an input of the user input unit.

7. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the UI generator further generates a first icon to display the channel data broadcasting UI, and

the controller controls the UI generator to display the channel data broadcasting UI if the first icon is selected.

8. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the UI generator further generates a second icon to display a preset default data broadcasting UI, and

the controller controls the UI generator to display the default data broadcasting UI if the second icon is selected.

9. The broadcasting receiving apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a display unit which displays the data broadcasting UI thereon.

10. A method of controlling a broadcasting receiving apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcasting signal of a broadcasting channel; and

generating a channel data broadcasting user interface (UI) which comprises a data broadcasting item corresponding to broadcasting contents of a tuned broadcasting channel if data broadcasting is received.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the broadcasting contents are included in service information of the tuned broadcasting channel.

12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising building and storing a database including the data broadcasting item of the data broadcasting.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the generating the data broadcasting UI comprises selecting a data broadcasting item equal to a keyword of the service information of the tuned broadcasting channel from the database and generating the channel data broadcasting UI including the selected data broadcasting item.

14. The method according to claim 10, wherein the channel data broadcasting UI further comprises an item on the service information of the tuned broadcasting channel.

15. The method according to claim 10, further comprising displaying or concealing the data broadcasting UI according to a user'"'"'s input.

16. The method according to claim 10, further comprising displaying a first icon to select the channel data broadcasting UI.

17. The method according to claim 10, further comprising displaying a second icon to select a preset default data broadcasting UI.
