Abstract

An image processing apparatus with a display unit includes: a communication unit which communicates with a server that stores therein content organization information of a video content; an input unit through which a video signal contained in the video content is input; a processing unit which processes the video content; and a controller which controls the processing unit to display the video content based on the content organization information on the display unit.

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus with a display unit, comprising:

a communication unit which communicates with a server that stores therein content organization information of a video content;

an input unit through which a video signal contained in the video content is input;

a processing unit which processes the video content; and

a controller which controls the processing unit to display the video content based on the content organization information, on the display unit.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the video content comprises appendix information.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the content organization information comprises at least one of source information of the video signal and source information of the appendix information.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the video signal comprises a broadcasting signal, an internal image input from an internal video source, an external image input from an external video source, and a server image input from the server.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the source information of the video signal comprises at least one of a channel name, a channel number, an image size and a genre.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the appendix information comprises at least one of an image, a moving picture and a text.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the source information of the appendix information comprises a link address of the appendix information.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller controls the processing unit to create a content list based on the content organization information received from the server.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a user input unit,

wherein the controller controls the processing unit to display the video content on the display unit based on the content organization information selected through the user input unit.

10. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the content organization information uses a tag format.

11. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving content organization information of a video content;

receiving the video content based on the content organization information; and

displaying the video content.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the receiving the video content comprises receiving a video signal contained in the video content.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the receiving the video content comprises receiving appendix information contained in the video content.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the content organization information comprises at least one of source information of the video signal and source information of the appendix information.

15. The method according to claim 14, wherein the source information of the video signal comprises at least one of a channel name, a channel number, an image size and a genre.

16. The method according to claim 14, wherein the appendix information comprises at least one link address of an image, a moving picture and a text.

17. The method according to claim 11, further comprising creating a content list based on the content organization information,

wherein the receiving the video content comprises receiving the video content based on the content organization information selected in the content list.

18. An image processing system comprising:

a server which stores therein content organization information of a video content; and
