Abstract
A multifunctional display device and a method of controlling the same are disclosed herein. The method may include displaying a first card object in a first area of the display, displaying a second card object in a second area of the display, and partially displaying a third card object in a third area of the display to indicate that additional card objects are available for display. The first card object may be configured to display a video image and the second card object may have at least one link for connecting to a server. Based on a request to change the displayed card objects, the third card object may be displayed in the second area of the display and a fourth card object may be partially displayed in the third area of the display.

A method of controlling a display on a multifunctional display device, comprising:
- displaying a first card object in a first area of the display, the first card object configured to display a video image;
- displaying a second card object in a second area of the display, the second card object having at least one link for connecting to a content provider or to a storage device;
- displaying a third card object in a third area of the display such that the third card object is partially displayed on the display;
- receiving a request to change the displayed card objects;
- and
- displaying, in response to the request, the third card object in the second area of the display and partially displaying a fourth card object in the third area of the display,
- wherein the displaying the third card object in the second area of the display includes partially displaying the second card object in a fourth area of the display, the fourth area positioned between the first area and the second area, and
- wherein displaying the third card object in the second area of the display includes scrolling the third card object across the display from the third area to the second area and scrolling the second card object across the display from the second area to the fourth area.

A multifunctional display apparatus, comprising:
- a tuner configured to tune to a channel of a broadcast signal;
- a network interface configured to receive data packets;
- a display module;
- a wireless input interface to receive signals from a remote controller;
- a storage device to store data;
- and
- a processor to control the display module based on a signal from the remote controller, wherein:
- a first area of the display module displays a first card object configured to display a video received through a channel of the broadcast signal tuned by the tuner,
- a second area of the display module displays a second card object having at least one link configured to access a content server or a local storage device, and
- a third area of the display module partially displays a third card object, and
- wherein
- the signal from the remote controller causes the processor to control the display module to display the third card object in the second area of the display module and partially display a fourth card object in the third area of the display module,
- wherein the displaying the third card object in the second area of the display includes partially displaying the second card object in a fourth area of the display, displaying the third card object in the second area of the display includes scrolling the third card object across the display from the third area to the second area and scrolling the second card object across the display from the second area to the fourth area, and wherein the signal from the remote controller is generated by a touch input at the remote controller to scroll the card objects.
