Abstract

A method of displaying information when an electronic apparatus is booted is provided. The method includes storing specific information, the specific information being monitored and collected from data created when the electronic apparatus operates, in an information file, and executing the information file storing the specific information during booting of the electronic apparatus and displaying the specific information.

Claims

1. A method of displaying information when an electronic apparatus is booted, the method comprising:

displaying a setting screen comprising a plurality of items for selecting specific information according to a user'"'"'s input;

selecting at least one item from among the plurality of items according to a user'"'"'s input on the setting screen;

monitoring and collecting specific information corresponding to the selected at least one item from data created when the electronic apparatus operates;

determining whether the collected specific information satisfies at least one storage condition corresponding to the selected at least one item from among a plurality of storage conditions, each of which is configured to be set for the plurality of items, respectively;

in response to the collected specific information satisfying the at least one storage condition, generating an information file name corresponding to the selected at least one item for storing the collected specific information and storing the collected specific information as an execution image in the generated information file name when the collected data satisfies the storage condition for the selected at least one item;

changing a booting code to comprise the generated information file name in an executive command for displaying the collected specific information recorded in the booting code; and

executing the at least one information file storing the collected specific information as the execution image during booting of the electronic apparatus and displaying the collected specific information,

wherein when a plurality of items is selected, separate information file names are generated for the respective items and execution images of the items are respectively stored in the separate information file names.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the monitoring and collecting comprises periodically monitoring and collecting data related to the selected at least one item from the data created when the electronic apparatus operates.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the execution image comprises the collected specific information and a display program to display the collected specific information.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the storing of the collected specific information as the execution image comprises storing the execution image as an information file name designated in advance in an executive command for displaying the collected specific information recorded in a booting code.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein when a plurality of items is selected, execution images of the respective items are stored in an integrated manner in one place that is the designated information file name.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

further displaying progress of a booting process while booting the electronic apparatus.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing a plurality of advertisements in advance;

analyzing Internet search history of a user comprised in the data created when the electronic apparatus operates to select an advertisement relevant to a search term with a high frequency of search among the stored advertisements; and

displaying the selected advertisement in booting.

8. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display unit configured to display an image;

a storage unit configured to store a booting code and data created when the electronic apparatus operates; and

a controller configured to;

display a setting screen comprising a plurality of items for selecting specific information on the display unit according to a user'"'"'s input,

select at least one item from among the plurality of items according to a user'"'"'s input on the setting screen,

periodically monitor and collect specific information corresponding to the selected at least one item from the stored data,

determine whether the collected specific information satisfies at least one storage condition corresponding to the selected at least one item from among a plurality of storage conditions, each of which is configured to be set for the plurality of items, respectively,

in response to the collected specific information satisfying the at least one storage condition, generate an information file name corresponding to the selected at least one item for storing the collected specific information and store the collected specific information as an execution image in the generated information file name when the collected data satisfies the storage condition for the selected at least one item,

change the booting code to comprise the generated information file name in the executive command for displaying the collected specific information recorded in the booting code, and

execute the at least one information file storing the collected specific information as the execution image, according to an executive command of the booting code during booting of the electronic apparatus and to display the collected specific information on the display unit,

wherein when a plurality of items is selected, the controller is configured to generate separate information file names for the respective items and to respectively store execution images of the items in the separate information file names.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8, wherein, when an item to collect is selected by a user input through a booting image collecting program, the controller is configured to periodically monitor and collect data related to the selected at least one item from the data created when the electronic apparatus operates to store the collected data as the execution image, and to execute the execution image according to an executive command of the booting code during booting of the electronic apparatus to display the stored data of the execution image on the display unit.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to store the execution image as an information file name designated in advance in the executive command for displaying the collected specific information recorded in the booting code.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to display progress of a booting process.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 8, wherein the controller stores a plurality of advertisements in advance, analyzes Internet search history of a user comprised in the data created when the electronic apparatus operates to select an advertisement relevant to a search term with a high frequency of search among the stored advertisements, and displays the selected advertisement at booting.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 8, wherein when a plurality of items is selected, execution images of the respective items are stored in an integrated manner in one place that is a designated information file name.
