Abstract

A display apparatus and a method of controlling the same are provided. The display apparatus includes: a display configured to display content on a screen; a user interface configured to receive a user command; and a processor configured to control the display to display a keyword associated with the displayed content and to update, in response to the displayed content being changed according to the received user command, the displayed keyword to an updated keyword associated with changed content.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display configured to display content on a screen;

a user interface configured to receive a user command; and

a processor configured to control the display to display a keyword associated with the displayed content and to update, in response to the displayed content being changed according to the received user command, the displayed keyword to an updated keyword associated with changed content.

2. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display associated content information obtained according to the displayed keyword.

3. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein:

the processor is further configured to, when a content refresh function is off, control the display to maintain the displayed associated content information and to update the displayed keyword to the updated keyword associated with the changed content; and

the processor is further configured to, when the content refresh function is on, control the display to update the displayed keyword to the updated keyword associated with the changed content and to update the displayed associated content information to updated associated content information obtained according to the updated keyword.

4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a graphic user interface (GUI) for selection of an on/off state of the content refresh function.

5. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the associated content information obtained according to the displayed keyword in a preset content search domain selected according to a preset event.

6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the content search domain is selected from among at least one of a video content domain, a web browser domain, and an application domain.

7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the content on a screen from among multi-screens simultaneously presented on the display, and to display the associated keyword and the associated content information on at least one other screen among the multi-screens.

8. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein:

the processor is further configured to control the display to simultaneously present multi-screens on the display;

the processor is further configured to control the display to display a selection GUI for selection of one of the multi-screens; and

the processor is further configured to control the display to enlarge a screen, among the multi-screens, focused by the selection GUI and to relatively reduce and display one or more remaining screens, among the multi-screens, when the selection GUI is focused on the screen according to a user command.

9. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to focus at least one item contained in the multi-screens by the selection GUI according to the received user command, to enlarge the screen to which the at least one item focused by the selection GUI belongs, and to relatively reduce and display the one or more remaining screens.

10. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein, in response to the at least one item focused by the selection GUI being selected, the processor is further configured to control the display to display a content executing image corresponding to the selected item while maintaining an enlarged screen size.

11. A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying content and a keyword associated with the content according to a preset event; and

in response to the displayed content being changed according to a user command, updating the displayed keyword to an updated keyword associated with the changed content.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the displaying the keyword comprises displaying associated content information obtained according to the displayed keyword.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the updating comprises:

when a content refresh function is off, maintaining the displayed associated content information and updating the displayed keyword to the updated keyword associated with the changed content; and

when the content refresh function is on, updating the displayed keyword to the updated keyword associated with the changed content and updating the displayed associated content information to updated associated content information obtained according to the updated keyword.

19. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program executable by a computer for performing the method of claim 11.

14. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to control to;

output, for display, content;

output, for display, a keyword associated with the output content; and

update, in response to the output content being changed, the output keyword to an updated keyword associated with changed content.

15. The image processing apparatus as claimed in claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to control to output, for display, associated content information obtained according to the output keyword.

16. The image processing apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to control to output, for display, the content on a screen from among multi-screens simultaneously output, and to output, for display, the associated keyword and the associated content information on at least one other screen among the multi-screens.

17. The image processing apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to control to:

simultaneously output, for display, multi-screens;

output, for display, a selection GUI for selection of one of the multi-screens; and

enlarge a screen, among the multi-screens, focused by the selection GUI and to relatively reduce and display one or more remaining screens, among the multi-screens, when the selection GUI is focused on the screen according to a user command.

18. The image processing apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to control to focus at least one item contained in the multi-screens by the selection GUI according to a user command, to enlarge the screen to which the at least one item focused by the selection GUI belongs, and to relatively reduce and output, for display, the one or more remaining screens.
