Abstract

A display device comprising a memory in which a first application corresponding to a first content provision server and a second application corresponding to a second content provision server are stored; a display; and a processor to control, by executing the first application, the display to display a recommendation content list of content of the first content provision server based on a content use history of a user so that the content included in the recommended content list is aligned in a preset alignment. The preset alignment can be the same as an alignment of a recommendation content list of content of the second content provision server to be provided through the second application.

Claims (50)

1 . A display device comprising:

a memory storing a first application corresponding to a first content provision server and a second application corresponding to a second content provision server;

a display; and

a processor configured to:

by executing the first application,

input metadata of content of the second content provision server into a neural network model and obtain information of same type as a partial information in metadata of content of the first content provision server,

obtain a content use history based on the partial information and the obtained information,

control the display to display a recommended content list of content of the first content provision server aligned according to a preset alignment that is a same as an alignment of a recommended content list of content provided by the second content provision server, the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server being based on the content use history of a user,

wherein a metadata type of the content of the second content provision server is different from a metadata type of the content of the first content provision server,

wherein the neural network model is trained to convert the metadata of the content of the second content provision server into a same type as the metadata of the content of the first content provision server,

wherein the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server is different from a pre-recommended content list of content of the first content provision server before being aligned according to the preset alignment,

the alignment of the recommended content list of content provided by the second content provision server is used to display a recommended content list of content of the second content provision server that is based on the content use history of the user,

the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server including a plurality of contents obtained from the first content provision server,

the content use history includes information related to metadata of a plurality of contents provided through the first application and the second application, the second application providing a plurality of contents received from the second content provision server, and

the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server and the recommended content list of content of the second content provision server are aligned to be different from each other prior to the preset alignment based on the metadata respectively to provide the plurality of contents received from the first content provision server through the first application and provide plurality of contents received from the second content provision server through the second application.

2 . The display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

by executing the second application,

control the display to display the recommended content list of the content of the second content provision server based on the content use history associated with the user.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:

provide information related to the preset alignment of the content of the first content provision server included in the recommended content list provided through the first application to the second application, and

wherein the second application provides the recommended content list of the content of the second content provision server based on the information related to the preset alignment.

4 . The display device of claim 3 ,

wherein the preset alignment of the content of the first content provision server included in the recommended content list is determined based on at least one of genres of contents, producers of contents, directors of contents, and actors of contents.

5 . The display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the content use history associated with the user includes at least one of genre information of contents received from the first content provision server and the second content provision server, use frequency information of the first application and the second application, and time information based on contents being received from the first content provision server and the second content provision server.

6 . The display device of claim 1 ,

wherein metadata formats of the content of the first content provision server are same as metadata formats of the content of the second content provision server.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

based on a specific content being selected from the recommended content list, control the display to display a deep link item including information on a third application that supports reproduction of the specific content.

8 . A control method for a display device storing a first application corresponding to a first content provision server and a second application corresponding to a second content provision server, the control method comprising:

by executing the first application,

inputting metadata of content of the second content provision server into a neural network model and obtaining information of a same type as a partial information in metadata of content of the first content provision server,

obtaining a content use history of a user based on the partial information and the obtained information; and

displaying, on a display, a recommended content list of content of the first content provision server aligned according to a preset alignment that is a same as an alignment of a recommended content list of content provided by the second content provision server, the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server being based on the content use history of the user,

wherein the metadata type of the content of the second content provision server is different from a metadata type of the content of the first content provision server,

wherein the neural network model is trained to convert the metadata of the content of the second content provision server into a same type as the metadata of the content of the first content provision server,

wherein the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server is different from a pre-recommended content list of content of the first content provision server before being aligned according to the preset alignment,

the alignment of the recommended content list of content provided by the second content provision server is used to display a recommended content list of content of the second content provision server that is based on the content use history of the user,

the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server including a plurality of contents obtained from the first content provision server,

the content use history includes information related to metadata of a plurality of contents provided through the first application and the second application, the second application providing contents received from the second content provision server,

the recommended content list of content of the first content provision server and the recommended content list of content of the second content provision server is aligned are aligned to be different from each other prior to the preset alignment based on the metadata respectively to provide the plurality of contents received from the first content provision server through the first application and provide plurality of contents received from the second content provision server through the second application.

9 . The control method of claim 8 , further comprising:
