Abstract

An image display device according to an embodiment may have demo modes and comprises a display module, a display processing module, and a control module. The display module is configured to display demo images in the demo modes. The display processing module is configured to supply the display module with a selection screen to select “stand use” or “wall hanging use” of the image display device. The control module is configured to supply the display module with one selection screen recommending a first demo mode when the stand use is selected, or with other selection screen recommending a second demo mode when the wall hanging use is selected.

Claims

1. An image display device comprising demo modes, the device comprising:

a display module configured to display demo images in the demo modes;

a display processing module configured to supply the display module with a selection screen to select a manner of use of the image display device; and

a control module configured to supply the display module with

a first selection screen recommending a first demo mode, or

a second selection screen recommending a second demo mode if the manner of use of the image display device for the second demo mode differs from that for the first demo mode, the second demo mode being different from the first demo mode.

2. The image display device of claim 1, wherein the manner of use of the image display device includes stand use for the first demo mode and wall hanging use for the second demo mode.

3. The image display device of claim 1, wherein the first demo mode includes a sticker demo, and the second demo mode includes a cloud demo.

4. The image display device of claim 1, wherein a first button indicating the first demo mode is displayed in the first selection screen, and recommendation of the first demo mode is indicated by reversed/inverted display or highlighted display of the first button.

5. The image display device of claim 1, wherein a second button indicating the second demo mode is displayed in the second selection screen, and recommendation of the second demo mode is indicated by reversed/inverted display or highlighted display of the second button.

6. The image display device of claim 1, further comprising:

a height detecting module configured to detect whether or not the image display device has a predetermined height;

wherein the manner of use of the image display device includes use of the image display device in a storefront; and

wherein the control module is configured to supply the display module with

the first selection screen when the storefront use is selected and if the height detecting module detects that the image display device has the predetermined height, or

the second selection screen when the storefront use is selected and if the height detecting module detects that the image display device does not have the predetermined height.

7. The image display device of claim 6, wherein the height detecting module comprises a distance sensor configured to measure a distance from a floor surface to a particular position of the image display device, a result of measurement by the distance sensor being used to detect whether or not the image display device has the predetermined height.

8. The image display device of claim 1, further comprising:

a height detecting module configured to detect whether or not the image display device has a predetermined height;

wherein the manner of use of the image display device includes use of the image display device in a storefront; and

wherein the control module is configured to execute

an operation of the first demo mode when the storefront use is selected and if the height detecting module detects that the image display device has the predetermined height, or

another operation of the second demo mode when the storefront use is selected and if the height detecting module detects that the image display device does not have the predetermined height.

9. The image display device of claim 8, wherein the height detecting module comprises a distance sensor configured to measure a distance from a floor surface to a particular position of the image display device, a result of measurement by the distance sensor being used to detect whether or not the image display device has the predetermined height.

10. A method of controlling an image display device comprising demo modes, the method comprising:

displaying demo images in the demo modes;

displaying a selection screen to select a manner of use of the image display device; and

displaying a first selection screen recommending a first demo mode, or a second selection screen recommending a second demo mode if the manner of use of the image display device for the second demo mode differs from that for the first demo mode, the second demo mode being different from the first demo mode.

11. The display control method of claim 10, wherein the manner of use of the image display device includes stand use for the first demo mode and wall hanging use for the second demo mode.

12. The display control method of claim 10, wherein the manner of use of the image display device includes use of the image display device in a storefront, the method further comprising:

detecting whether or not the image display device has a predetermined height; and

displaying the first selection screen when the storefront use is selected and if it is detected that the image display device has the predetermined height, or displaying the second selection screen when the storefront use is selected and if it is detected that the image display device does not have the predetermined height.

13. The display control method of claim 10, wherein the manner of use of the image display device includes use of the image display device in a storefront, the method further comprising:

detecting whether or not the image display device has a predetermined height; and

executing an operation of the first demo mode when the storefront use is selected and if it is detected that the image display device has the predetermined height, or executing another operation of the second demo mode when the storefront use is selected and if it is detected that the image display device does not have the predetermined height.

14. An image display device comprising demo modes, the device comprising:

a display module configured to display demo images in the demo modes;

a display processing module configured to supply the display module with a selection screen to select stand use or wall hanging use of the image display device; and

a control module configured to supply the display module with

one selection screen recommending a first demo mode when the stand use is selected, or

other selection screen recommending a second demo mode when the wall hanging use is selected.
