Abstract
Disclosed are a method for controlling a device including at least one memory, and a smart TV. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, from a remote controller, a signal for executing at least one application; outputting video data and audio data of the executed application; temporarily storing the executed application in an internal memory; swapping, to an external memory, a page corresponding to a specific application of the at least one application stored in the internal memory; and displaying information on the application swapped to the external memory.
Claims11
A television (TV) containing a kernel memory, comprising:
- a remote controller interface configured to receive a signal for executing at least one application;
- a display module configured to output video data of the executed application;
- a speaker configured to output audio data of the executed application;
- a kernel memory configured to temporarily store the executed application;
- a memory interface module configured to be connected with at least one external memory;
- and
- a memory controller configured to swap a page corresponding to a specific application among at least one application stored in the kernel memory to the external memory,
- wherein the display module is configured to:
- output a first message for guiding existence of the specific application swapped to the specific external memory when the remote controller interface receives a first user input for removing the specific external memory before the memory interface module and the external memory are disconnected,
- output a second message for inquiring a user about whether to swap to a different external memory or an internal memory when the remote controller interface receives a second user input for confirming disconnecting of the specific external memory,
- wherein the memory controller is configured to swap the page corresponding to the specific application to the different external memory or the internal memory when the remote controller interface receives a third user input for confirming swapping to the different external memory or the internal memory.
A method of controlling a device containing at least one memory, comprising:
- receiving a signal for executing at least one application from a remote controller;
- outputting video data and audio data of the executed application;
- temporarily storing the executed application in an internal memory;
- swapping a page corresponding to a specific application among at least one application stored in the internal memory to an external memory;
- displaying information on the specific application swapped to the external memory;
- outputting a first message for guiding existence of the specific application swapped to the specific external memory when a remote controller interface receives a first user input for removing the specific external memory before the device and the external memory are disconnected;
- outputting a second message for inquiring a user about whether to swap to a different external memory or the internal memory when the remote controller interface receives a second user input for confirming disconnecting of the specific external memory;
- and
- swapping the page corresponding to the specific application to the different external memory or the internal memory when the remote controller interface receives a third user input for confirming swapping to the different external memory or the internal memory.
