Abstract

A display device with a window includes a display panel configured to detect touch and to display an image, a back-facing photographing part configured to photograph a background that includes a space behind the display panel, and a panel driver configured to display a background image photographed by the back-facing photographing part on the display panel and to magnify or demagnify the background image by a touch gesture performed on the display panel so as to display the magnified or demagnified image on the display panel.

Claims

1. A display device with a window, comprising:

a display panel configured to detect touch and to display an image;

a back-facing photographing part configured to photograph a background that includes a space behind the display panel; and

a panel driver configured to display a background image photographed by the back-facing photographing part on the display panel and to magnify or demagnify the background image by a touch gesture performed on the display panel so as to display the magnified or demagnified image on the display panel.

2. The display device of claim 1, further comprising:

a user sensor configured to sense whether or not a user is present in a predetermined sensing region;

a front-facing photographing part configured to photograph a foreground that includes a space in front of the display panel; and

a location determining unit configured to calculate a display location for an information window from a foreground image photographed by the front-facing photographing part.

3. The display device of claim 2, wherein when the user sensor detects a user'"'"'s presence in the predetermined sensing region, the front-facing photographing part photographs the foreground including the user.

4. The display device of claim 2, wherein when the user sensor detects a user'"'"'s presence in the predetermined sensing region, the panel driver displays an information symbol and a scale bar on the display panel.

5. The display device of claim 4, wherein when the information symbol is touched, the panel driver displays the information window on the display panel in accordance with the display location for the information window.

6. The display device of claim 4, wherein when the user sensor detects a user'"'"'s absence in the predetermined sensing region, the panel driver removes at least one of the background image displayed on the display panel, the foreground image, the information symbol, the scale bar, and the information window.

7. The display device of claim 4, wherein the panel driver displays the information window on the display panel such that the information window corresponds to an eye level of the user.

8. The display device of claim 2, wherein the information window comprises:

a first symbol configured to provide previous images of the background that are categorized by time period;

a second symbol configured to provide a map showing regions included in the background;

a third symbol configured to provide a search function for facilities or tourist attractions included in the background and also provide location information of the facilities or tourist attractions; and

a fourth symbol configured to activate the back-facing photographing part to capture an image of the background and transmit the captured image of the background to an external device.

9. The display device of claim 8, wherein the first symbol further offers at least one sub-symbol configured to give at least one style effect to the background image.

10. The display device of claim 1, wherein when a specific region included in the background image is touched, the panel driver displays a sign that indicates the specific region on the display panel for a predetermined period of time.

11. The display device of claim 1, wherein the panel driver displays a regional information window that includes regional information associated with the specific region on the display panel and also displays a sign that indicates the specific region on the display panel.

12. The display device of claim 11, wherein the regional information window is displayed on the display panel to correspond to an eye level of a user.
