Abstract

An electronic device and a method for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) are disclosed. The electronic device includes a storage configured to store a first set of pixel data and a second set of pixel data, a controller configured to detect a request for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for recording reservation and access the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data in response to detecting the request and a formatter configured to convert format of the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data to output 3D format.

Claims

1. A method for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI), comprising:

detecting a request for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for recording reservation;

accessing from a storage a first set of pixel data and a second set of pixel data in response to detecting the request, wherein the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data display the GUI including a calendar, wherein at least one date cell of the calendar includes a stereoscopic image indicating recording reservation information; and

converting format of the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data to output 3D format.

2. The method of the claim 1, wherein the GUI is displayed as a stereoscopic image including the calendar on at least one face of a polyhedron.

3. The method of the claim 1, wherein the stereoscopic image is differently displayed according to the recording reservation.

4. The method of the claim 1, wherein the stereoscopic image includes one or more layer according to the reservation information, each layer being associated with one program.

5. The method of the claim 1, further comprising:

detecting a user action selecting one date cell of the calendar; and

forming a third set of pixel data for displaying a detail recording reservation list associated with the selected date cell in response to detecting the user action.

6. The method of the claim 5, the detail recording reservation list includes at least one of title, time information or thumb nail.

7. A method for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI), comprising:

detecting a request for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for recording reservation;

accessing from a storage a first set of pixel data and a second set of pixel data in response to detecting the first request, wherein the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data display the GUI as a stereoscopic image including a calendar on at least one face of a polyhedron; and

converting format of the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data to output 3D format.

8. The method of the claim 7, further comprising modifying the accessed first set of pixel data and the accessed second set of pixel data according at least one of size information, depth information or location information.

9. The method of the claim 7, wherein at least one date cell of the calendar includes a stereoscopic image indicating recording reservation information.

10. The method of the claim 7, wherein date cells of the calendar are differently displayed according to the recording reservation.

11. The method of the claim 10, wherein at least one of color or thickness of the date cells is differently display.

12. The method of the claim 7, further comprising:

detecting a user action selecting one date cell of the calendar; and

forming a third set of pixel data for displaying a detail recording reservation list associated with the selected date cell in response to detecting the user action.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a storage configured to store a first set of pixel data and a second set of pixel data;

a controller configured to detect a request for providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for recording reservation and access the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data in response to detecting the request, wherein the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data display the GUI including a calendar, wherein at least one date cell of the calendar includes a stereoscopic image indicating recording reservation information; and

a formatter configured to convert format of the first set of pixel data and the second set of pixel data to output 3D format.

14. The electronic device of the claim 13, wherein the controller modifies the accessed first set of pixel data and the accessed second set of pixel data according at least one of size information, depth information or location information.

15. The electronic device of the claim 13, wherein the GUI is displayed as a stereoscopic image including the calendar on at least one face of a polyhedron.

16. The electronic device of the claim 13, wherein the stereoscopic image is differently displayed according to the recording reservation.

17. The electronic device of the claim 13, wherein color of date cells of the calendar is differently displayed according to the recording reservation.

18. The electronic device of the claim 13, wherein the stereoscopic image includes one or more layer according to the reservation information, each layer being associated with one program.

19. The electronic device of the claim 13, wherein the controller detects a user action selecting one date cell of the calendar and forms a third set of pixel data for displaying a detail recording reservation list associated with the selected date cell in response to detecting the user action.

20. The electronic device of the claim 19, the detail recording reservation list includes at least one of title, time information or thumb nail.
