Abstract
A method of operating an image display apparatus includes receiving image contents, performing a social network service (SNS) according to the image contents, receiving a reference time set according to information corresponding to an image contents reproduction time of a plurality of image display apparatuses interworking with the SNS, and displaying the image contents according to the reference time.
Claims28
A method of operating an image display apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving image contents;
- performing a social network service (SNS) according to the image contents;
- receiving a reference time set according to information corresponding to an image contents reproduction time of a plurality of image display apparatuses interworking with the SNS;
- and
- displaying the image contents according to the reference time.
An image display apparatus comprising:
- a display unit configured to display the received the image contents;
- a controller configured to control an operation of a social network service (SNS) according to received image contents;
- and
- a network interface unit configured to receive a reference time set according to information corresponding to an image contents reproduction time of a plurality of image display apparatuses interworking with the SNS,
- wherein the controller is configured to control a displaying of the image contents according to the reference time.
A method of operating an image display apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving and displaying image contents;
- performing a social network service (SNS) according to the image contents;
- requesting SNS data related to the image contents;
- receiving the SNS data and a creation time of the SNS data which is determined based on an image contents reproduction time;
- and
- outputting the SNS data according to the creation time of the SNS data.

- a display configured to display the received image contents;
- a controller configured to perform a social network service (SNS) according to received image contents and requesting SNS data related to the image contents;
- and
- a network interface unit configured to receive the SNS data and a creation time of the SNS data which is determined according to an image contents reproduction time,
- wherein the controller outputs the SNS data according to the creation time of the SNS data.
A method of operating a server, the method comprising:
- receiving information corresponding to an image contents reproduction time of one of a plurality of image display apparatuses interworking with a social network service (SNS) based on image contents and SNS data related to the image contents;
- determining a creation time of the SNS data according to the image contents reproduction time;
- receiving a request for the SNS data from at least one of the plurality of image display apparatuses;
- and
- transmitting the SNS data to at least one of the plurality of image display apparatuses to be displayed by being synchronized with the image contents, according to a determined creation time of the SNS data.
