Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing an object corresponding to output content are provided. The method includes outputting content on a screen, extracting a fingerprint of the content at predetermined time intervals, transmitting the extracted fingerprint to a server, receiving event information related to the content, and in response to an output mode being set as a first mode, displaying an object corresponding to the content on the screen, and in response to the output mode being set as a second mode, displaying additional information of the object corresponding to the content on the screen.
Claims18
A method of providing an object of content in a display apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a setting of an output mode of information received from a server;
- outputting content on a screen of the display apparatus;
- extracting, by the display apparatus, automatically a fingerprint from the content at predetermined time intervals;
- transmitting, by the display apparatus, the extracted fingerprint to the server;
- receiving, by the display apparatus, from the server, information corresponding to the content based on the transmitted fingerprint, wherein the information received from the server includes a skip flag, and a first value or a second value is recorded in the skip flag;
- checking, by the display apparatus, the skip flag included in the information received from the server;
- in response to the second value being recorded in the skip flag, checking the setting of the output mode;
- in response to the output mode being a first mode according to the checking of the setting of the output mode, displaying an object about the received information, the object including a graphic item included in the received information and a graphic icon to enter a second mode, and in response to the output mode being the second mode according to the checking of the setting of the output mode, displaying detailed information of the received information on the screen, the detailed information including the graphic item and additional information of the graphic item;
- and
- in response to the first value being recorded in the skip flag, displaying the object including the graphic item included in the received information and the graphic icon to enter the second mode regardless of whether the set output mode is the first mode or the second mode.
A content processing apparatus comprising:
- a signal processor configured to automatically extract a fingerprint of content output on a screen at predetermined time intervals;
- a communication unit configured to transmit the extracted fingerprint to a server and receive information corresponding to the content based on the transmitted fingerprint from the server, wherein the information received from the server includes a skip flag, and a first value or a second value is recorded in the skip flag;
- a display configured to display a user interface (UI) for receiving a setting of an output mode of the information received from the server;
- and
- a controller configured to check the skip flag included in the information received from the server, and in response to the second value being recorded in the skip flag, check the setting of the output mode, and in response to the output mode being a first mode according to the checking of the setting of the output mode, display an object about the received information, the object including a graphic item included in the received information and a graphic icon to enter a second mode, and in response to the output mode being the second mode according to the checking of the setting of the output mode, display detailed information of the received information on the screen, the detailed information including the graphic item and additional information of the graphic item,
- wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to the first value being recorded in the skip flag, display the object including the graphic item included in the received information and the graphic icon to enter the second mode regardless of whether the set output mode is the first mode or the second mode.
