Image display apparatus and method for operating the same

An image display apparatus configured to receive a television broadcast from one of a landline, a satellite and another connection, the image display apparatus comprising:

• a network interface unit;
• a display;
• a memory;
• and
• a controller operatively connected to the display and the memory, the controller configured to
• reproduce content, the content being at least one of a television broadcast image, another broadcast image, a text, audio or image file stored within the image display apparatus, a text, audio or image file stored remotely from the image display apparatus, and a connected Web page,
• display a content save object for storing the reproduced content with an image related to the reproduced content during content reproduction,
• store at least a part of the reproduced content as stored content upon selection of the content save object,
• simultaneously display 1) a content object representing the stored content, and 2) an object representing one of a user and an electronic device connected to the image display apparatus via a wired or wireless network or from a network linked to the connected wired or wireless network,
• receive a move command to move the stored content to the one of the user and the electronic device, and
• transmit the stored content to the one of the user and the electronic device via the connected wired or wireless network through the network interface unit,
• wherein the controller is configured to display an icon representing the stored content moving between the content object and the object representing one of the user and the electronic device,
• wherein a shape of the icon is determined based on a type of the stored content, the type being one of a broadcast image type, an audio data type, a Web page type, and an e-book page type, and
• wherein the object includes user objects corresponding to users connected to the network and network connection state information for the user objects, respectively;
• display an object asking whether to change the size of the stored content to be transmitted according to a network connection state on the display;
• and
• scale down the stored content upon a selection for changing the size of the stored content to be transmitted,
• wherein the transmit step transmits the scaled down stored content to the selected user or electronic device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions configured to cause an image display apparatus configured to receive a television broadcast from one of a landline, a satellite and another connection to perform the following steps:

• reproducing content, the content being at least one of a television broadcast image, another broadcast image, a text, audio or image file stored within the image display apparatus, a text, audio or image file stored remotely from the image display apparatus, and a connected Web page;
• displaying a content save object for storing the reproduced content with an image related to the reproduced content during content reproduction;
• storing at least a part of the reproduced content as stored content upon selection of the content save object;
• simultaneously displaying 1) a content object representing the content, including the stored content, and 2) an object representing one of a user and an electronic device connected to the image display apparatus via a wired or wireless network or from a network linked to the connected wired or wireless network;
• receiving a move command to move the stored content to the one of the user and the electronic device;
• and
• transmitting the stored content to the one of the user and the electronic device via the connected wired or wireless network,
• wherein the step of receiving a move command comprises displaying an icon representing the stored content moving between the content object and the object representing one of the user and the electronic device,
• wherein a shape of the icon is determined based on a type of the stored content, the type being one of a broadcast image type, an audio data type, a Web page type, and an e-book page type, and
• wherein the object includes user objects corresponding to users connected to the network and network connection state information for the user objects, respectively,
• displaying an object asking whether to change the size of the stored content to be transmitted according to a network connection state on the display;
• and
• scaling down the stored content upon a selection for changing the size of the stored content to be transmitted,
• wherein the transmitting step transmits the scaled down stored content to the selected user or electronic device.
