An apparatus for providing multiple screens, the apparatus comprising:

• a service processing module which generates a display screen, a plurality of logical screens, and an overlay screen displaying a plurality of services and associates the logical screen and the overlay screen with the plurality of services;
• and
• an output module which maps the logical screen generated by the service processing module to different areas on the display screen and overlays the overlay screen on the display screen,
• wherein the plurality of services comprises at least one of video information, audio information, or data information,
• wherein each of the logical screens and the overlay screen comprises information regarding an associated service context, and a service displayed on the each of the logical screens and the overlay screen is set in the associated service context, and
• wherein a service displayed on the overlay screen comprises at least one of a subtitle, a closed caption, a user interface for setting functions for displaying the plurality of services, and an application corresponding to data information of the plurality of services.

An apparatus for providing multiple screens, the apparatus comprising:

• a digital signal processing module which receives at least one of video information, audio information, and data information and restores a plurality of services based on the at least one of the video information, the audio information and the data information which is received;
• a service processing module which generates a display screen, a plurality of logical screens, and an overlay screen for displaying the plurality of services restored by the digital signal processing module;
• and
• an output module which maps the plurality of logical screens generated by the service processing module on the display screen and overlays the overlay screen on the display screen,
• wherein each of the logical screens and the overlay screen comprises information regarding an associated service context, and a service displayed on the each of the logical screens and the overlay screen is set in the associated service context, and
• wherein a service displayed on the overlay screen comprises at least one of a subtitle, a closed caption, a user interface for setting functions for displaying the plurality of services, and an application corresponding to the data information of the plurality of services.
