Abstract
An image processing apparatus and image processing method are provided. The image processing apparatus includes a video processor which processes and displays an image; a receiver which receives a key signal of a color; and a controller which controls the video processor to display contents corresponding to the color when receiving the key signal of the color.
Claims23
A display apparatus comprising:
- an image processor configured to process an image;
- a display configured to display the processed image;
- a storage configured to stores contents;
- a receiver configured to receive at least two user input signals, each user input signal corresponding to a color;
- and
- a controller configured to display a graphical user interface (GUI) for setting the color corresponding to a classification of the contents by a user on the display, perform a control operation for searching the stored contents in response to receiving the at least two user input signals, and control the image processor to process an image of a searched content from among the stored contents corresponding to the colors of the received user input signals to display the processed image of the searched content on the display,
- wherein when the at least two user input signals are received simultaneously, the controller controls the display to display contents corresponding to a color obtained by mixing colors, and
- wherein when the at least two user input signals are received sequentially, the controller controls the display to sequentially display contents corresponding to colors in order of reception.

An display method comprising:
- storing the contents;
- displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) for setting a color corresponding to a classification of the contents by a user;
- receiving at least two user input signals, each user input signal corresponding to a color;
- performing a control operation for searching the stored contents in response to receiving the at least two user input signals;
- and
- processing an image of a searched content from among the stored contents corresponding to a colors of the received user input signals to display the processed image of the searched content,
- wherein when the at least two user input signals are received simultaneously, processing the image comprises displaying contents corresponding to a color obtained by mixing colors, and
- wherein when the at least two user input signals are received sequentially, processing the image comprises sequentially displaying contents corresponding to colors in order of reception.
5 more elements
A content identifying apparatus comprising:
- an input unit comprising a plurality of keys, each of the keys assigned to a different color;
- a storage which sorts contents with respect to at least one of a color, a category and a genre and stores the contents;
- and
- a controller which, responsive to an actuation of at least two of the plurality of keys, searches the stored contents and identifies at least one of the contents having the colors in the contents that are assigned to the keys which are actuated, sorts contents giving priority to the contents having the colors in the contents, and sends the sorted contents to be displayed,
- wherein when the at least two keys are actuated simultaneously, the controller searches the stored contents and identifies at least one of the contents corresponding to a color obtained by mixing the colors assigned to the keys, and
- wherein when the at least two keys are actuated sequentially, the controller searches the stored contents and identifies at least one of the contents corresponding to colors assigned to the keys in order of reception.
