Abstract

A multifunctional display device includes a processor to control display of information during booting of an operating system. The operating system is booted in response to a predetermined signal and displayed the information includes first information corresponding to visual information, and second information indicating that the operating system is currently booting. The operating system is one which controls display of multimedia content.

Claims

1. A multifunctional display device, comprising:

a display;

a storage device to store data;

a tuner to receive a broadcast signal;

a network interface to receive packet data;

an input interface to receive signals from a wireless remote controller;

a processor to control display of information during booting of an operating system, wherein operating system is booted in response to a predetermined signal and wherein the information includes;

first information corresponding to visual information, and

second information indicating that the operating system is currently booting, wherein the operating system controls display of multimedia content.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the multimedia content includes information received through the network interface and one or more applications to be executed.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the media information includes at least one image stored in the storage device.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the visual information includes a plurality of images stored in the storage device, the images sequentially displayed during booting of the operating system.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the visual information includes video from a predetermined channel received through the tuner.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the second information includes a status bar indicating a status of booting the operating system.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor controls the display of third information after operating system booting has been completed, the third information includes a menu having one or more options for replacing the first information with fourth information.

8. The device of claim 7, wherein the fourth information corresponds to execution of an internet browser.

9. The device of claim 7, wherein the fourth information corresponds to a media library, the media library including one or more files stored in the storage device or a memory coupled to the display device.

10. The device of claim 1, wherein the visual information corresponds to execution of a predetermined application.

11. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor controls display of third information which allows for selection of a change of the first information.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the first information is received through the tuner and the third information is generated by an OSD processor.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the first and third information are simultaneously displayed.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein the third information allows for selection of one of a plurality of predetermined television channels to be displayed during booting of the operating system.

15. An information management method comprising:

displaying information on a screen of a display device during booting of an operating system, wherein;

the operating system is booted in response to a predetermined signal,

the first information corresponds to visual information, and

the second information indicates that the operating system is currently booting, wherein the operating system controls display of multimedia content and wherein the display device includes a storage device to store data, a tuner to receive a broadcast signal, a network interface to receive packet data, and an input interface to receive signals from a wireless remote controller.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the multimedia content includes information received through the network interface and one or more applications to be executed.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

displaying third information after operating system booting has been completed, wherein the third information includes a menu having one or more options for replacing the first information with fourth information.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the fourth information corresponds to execution of an internet browser.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the fourth information corresponds to a media library, the media library including one or more files stored in the storage device or a memory coupled to the display device.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein the first information is received through the tuner and the third information is generated by an OSD processor.
