Abstract
Disclosed are a display device and method and an advertisement sever. According to an embodiment, the display device includes a display, a communication circuit that communicates with an external electronic device, an interface circuit that receives a user input, and a processor that transmits input device information for the at least one input device to the external electronic device via the communication circuit, receives a first image for interfacing with a user through a most frequently used or most recently used input device among the at least one input device, and overlays the first image on the content, wherein the one input device is the most frequently used input device or the most recently used input device among the identified input devices.
Claims15
A display device comprising:
- a display;
- a communication circuit configured to communicate with an external electronic device;
- an interface circuit configured to receive a user input;
- and
- a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit and the interface circuit to allow the display to display content;
- wherein the processor is configured to
- identify at least one input device connected to the interface circuit,
- transmit input device information on the at least one input device to the external electronic device via the communication circuit,
- receive a first image for interfacing with a user through an input device most frequently used or most recently used among the at least one input device, and
- overlay the first image on the content and output the content to the display.
A server device comprising:
- a communication circuit configured to communicate with a display device;
- a processor electrically connected to the communication circuit;
- and
- a memory electrically connected to the processor,
- wherein the memory stores at least one memory causing, when being executed, the processor to
- identify one input device most frequently used or most recently used among at least one input device connected to the display device from input device information when the input device information is received from the display device via the communication circuit,
- search for advertisement content corresponding to the one input device and a first image for interfacing with a user through the one input device from the memory, and
- transmit the found advertisement content and the found first image to the display device via the communication circuit.
A display method by a display device, comprising:
- identifying at least one input device connected to the display device;
- transmitting input device information on the at least one input device to an external electronic device;
- receiving a first image for interfacing with a user through a most frequently used input device or a most recently used input device among the at least one input device from the external electronic device;
- and
- overlaying and outputting the first image on content being output on the display.
