Abstract
An operation-mode conversion apparatus for an image display compound device includes a power-state detector which detects a power state of the compound device, an operation-mode determination unit which determines a present operation mode of the compound device, and an operation-mode controller which converts the operation mode of the compound device based on the power state, the present operation mode, and whether one of an optical storage medium and a movable memory is detected by the compound device, in response to a user input signal, regardless of the preset operation mode.
Claims30
A television (TV) apparatus comprising:
- a display unit;
- a power-state detector configured to detect a power state of the TV apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to automatically change an operation mode of the TV apparatus from a TV broadcast mode to a movable memory reproduction mode in response to a detection of a movable memory connected to the TV apparatus, the detected power state of the TV apparatus, and a receiving of a user input signal corresponding to a reproduction key.
A television (TV) apparatus comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to automatically change an operation mode of the TV apparatus from a TV broadcast mode to a movable memory reproduction mode in response to a detection of a movable memory connected to the TV apparatus and a receiving of a user input signal corresponding to a reproduction key, wherein the controller changes the operation mode of the TV apparatus to the movable memory reproduction mode when the power state indicates that the TV apparatus is in a standby mode and the movable memory is detected by the TV apparatus.
A television (TV) apparatus comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to automatically change an operation mode of the TV apparatus from a TV broadcast mode to a movable memory reproduction mode in response to a detection of a movable memory connected to the TV apparatus and a receiving of a user input signal corresponding to a reproduction key, wherein the controller changes the operation mode of the TV apparatus to the TV broadcast mode when a channel conversion key is input, even when the movable memory is detected by the TV apparatus.
An operation-mode conversion method of a television (TV), the operation-mode, conversion method comprising:
- checking a power state of the TV;
- determining a present operation mode of the TV;
- and
- selectively converting the operation mode of the TV based on the power state and the present operation mode, and based on the power state and a detection of a movable memory by the TV, in response to a user input signal, regardless of the present operation mode.
