Abstract

A display apparatus which corrects input characters by moving a cursor in word units is provided. The display apparatus includes a communication interface configured to receive a control command for a character input from a control device, a display configured to display characters corresponding to the control command, and a controller configured to control the display to move a cursor in word units when a correction command to correct the displayed characters is received.

Claims

1. A display apparatus which is configured to be connected to a control device, the display apparatus comprising:

a communication interface configured to receive a control command for a character input from the control device;

a display configured to display characters corresponding to the control command; and

a controller configured to control the display to move a cursor in word units when a correction command to correct the displayed characters is received.

2. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display displays a user interface (UI) window including a first region configured to display the characters corresponding to the control command, and a second region configured to display an on-screen keypad for character input.

3. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the display displays a selected character in the first region when a character on the on-screen keypad is selected.

4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the display displays a region of one of the first region and the second region which is currently being selected with a highlight and displays a first word of the first region with a highlight when a highlighted region moves to the first region.

5. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the display displays a region of one of the first region and the second region which is currently being selected with a highlight and moves the highlight in word units when a horizontal moving command is received from the control device in a state in which the highlight is displayed in a specific word of the first region.

6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the display replaces the word displayed with the highlight with input characters when a character input is received in a state in which the highlight is displayed in the specific word of the first region.

7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the controller controls the display to move the cursor in character units when a selection command is received in a state in which the highlight is displayed in the specific word of the first region.

8. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the on-screen keypad comprises a word moving region configured to move the cursor horizontally in word units.

9. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the on-screen keypad has a QWERTY keyboard layout.

10. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller controls the display to move the cursor in word units only when the characters being displayed in the display are more than a preset number of words.

11. A display apparatus, comprising:

a user manipulator configured to receive a control command for a character input;

a display configured to display characters corresponding to the control command; and

a controller configured to control the display to move a cursor in word units when a correction command to correct the displayed characters is received.

12. A method of displaying a user interface (UI) of a display apparatus which is configured to be connected to a control device, the method comprising:

receiving a control command for a character input from the control device;

displaying characters corresponding to the control command; and

moving a cursor in word units when a correction command to correct the displayed characters is received.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the displaying comprises displaying a UI window including a first region configured to display the characters corresponding to the control command, and a second region configured to display an on-screen keypad for character input.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the displaying comprises displaying a selected character in the first region when a character on the on-screen keypad is selected.

15. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the displaying includes displaying a region of one of the first region and the second region currently being selected with a highlight and displaying a first word of the first region with a highlight when a highlighted region moves to the first region.

16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the displaying includes displaying a region of one of the first region and the second region which is currently being selected with a highlight and the moving includes moving a highlight in word units when a horizontal moving command is received from the control device in a state in which the highlight is displayed in a specific word of the first region.

17. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein the displaying includes replacing and displaying the selected specific word with input characters when a character input is received in a state in which the specific word of the first region is displayed with the highlight.

18. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein the moving includes moving the cursor in character units when a selection command is received in a state in which the specific word of the first region is displayed with the highlight.

19. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the on-screen keypad comprises a word moving region configured to move the cursor horizontally in word units.

20. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the on-screen keypad has a QWERTY keyboard layout.

21. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the moving includes moving the cursor in word units when the characters being displayed are more than preset words and moving the cursor in character units when the characters being displayed are less than a preset number of words.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing a user interface (UI) display method, the UI display method comprising:

receiving a control command for a character input from a control device;

displaying characters corresponding to the control command; and

moving a cursor in word units when a correction command to correct the displayed characters is received.
