Abstract

A display terminal and a method for displaying content on the display terminal are embodied and broadly disclosed herein. The method may include displaying an indicator that indicates a presence of at least one new content available in a channel; displaying a list of the at least one new content in response to an acknowledgement request corresponding to the indicator; and connecting to the channel to display the at least one new content in response to an input, wherein the input is a selection of one or more of the at least one new content in the displayed list.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

a display;

a wireless communication unit; and

a controller coupled to the display and the wireless communication unit, the controller configured to;

connect to a server via the wireless communication unit;

receive a message indicating that video contents are being uploaded in real time to the server when an external device which is connected with the server uploads the video contents to the server in real time;

display the message when the message is received; and

display on the display the video contents based on a selection of the message when the video contents are currently being uploaded in real time from the external device.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the server is shared between a plurality of devices designated to share the video contents.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the message is received through the server.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the server is based on at least one of a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), a digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), MediaFlow, or an Internet protocol-TV (IP-TV).

5. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one new video content for uploading is stored on the external device designated to share the server.

6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a camera,

wherein the video contents are captured by the camera in response to a capture command, and

wherein the video contents are immediately uploaded through the server when the video contents capture is complete.

7. A method for sharing content at a device, the method comprising:

accessing a server via a wireless communication unit;

receiving a message indicating that video contents are being uploaded in real time to the server when an external device which is connected with the server uploads the video contents to the server in real time;

displaying the message on a display when the message is received; and

displaying the video contents on the display based on a selection of the message when the video contents are currently being uploaded in real time from the external device on the display.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the server is shared between a plurality of devices designated to share the contents.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the message is received through the server.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the server is based on at least one of a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), a digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), MediaFlow, or an Internet protocol-TV (IP-TV).

11. The method of claim 7, wherein at least one new video content for uploading is stored on the external device designated to share the server.

12. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

capturing the video contents using a camera in response to a capturing command; and

immediately uploading the video contents through the server without a separate control command for uploading the video contents.
