Abstract
An image display apparatus and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The method for operating an image display apparatus includes displaying an image of specific content, receiving a wheel input from an input device, moving a screen or an object within the screen according to the wheel input, and displaying the moved screen or object. A distance for which the screen or the object within the screen moves according to the wheel input is changed based on the displayed content.
Claims14
A method for operating an image display apparatus, comprising:
- displaying an image of specific content;
- receiving a wheel input from an input device;
- moving a screen or an object within the screen according to the wheel input and displaying the moved screen or object,
- outputting a message prompting for a wheel input from the input device, when a movement distance is not pre-stored for a wheel input from the input device;
- storing a movement distance for the wheel input, upon receipt of the wheel input from the input device in response to the message, when the movement distance is not pre-stored for the wheel input from the input device,
- controlling a wheel sensitivity for a first input device;
- and
- controlling a wheel sensitivity for a second input device;
- wherein a distance for which the screen or the object within the screen moves according to the wheel input is changed based on a type of the displayed content, and
- wherein the wheel sensitivities of the first and second input devices are equal regardless of type of input devices for a same content image.

An image display apparatus comprising:
- a display to display an image of specific content;
- an interface to receive a wheel input from an input device;
- a memory to store a movement distance for the wheel input, upon receipt of the wheel input from the input device, when a movement distance is not pre-stored for the wheel input from the input device;
- and
- a controller to control movement of a screen or an object within the screen according to the wheel input and to control display of the moved screen or object, wherein the controller changes a distance for which the screen or the object within the screen moves according to the wheel input, based on a type of the displayed content,
- wherein when the movement distance is not pre-stored for a wheel input from the input device, the display outputs a message prompting for a wheel input from the input device, and
- wherein upon receipt of wheel inputs from first and second input devices while the image of the content is displayed, the controller controls movement of the screen or the object within the screen moves for the same distance regardless of type of input devices for a same content image according to the wheel inputs and controls display of the moved screen or object.
