Abstract

Disclosed are a display apparatus and an image displaying method, which can increase a battery usage time. The display apparatus includes a display including a screen for displaying an image; and a controller configured to provide the display a first user interface (UI) for selecting at least one among a plurality of regions in the screen, provide the display a second UI for adjusting a displaying position of the image to be displayed on at least one region selected through the first UI, and control the display to display the image at the displaying position adjusted through the second UI, and make the other regions of the screen except the region where the image is displayed be in a power-saving mode. According to the present invention, it is possible to not only increase a battery usage time but also display information at a position desired by a user.

Claims (28)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a display comprising a screen;

a user input interface for receiving a user touch input; and

a processor configured to:

based on a user touch input for selecting a first region among a plurality of regions in the screen being received, control the display to display an image on the selected first region, and

make the other regions of the screen except the first region where the image is displayed be in a power-saving mode,

wherein the image is displayed in the selected first region after a release of the user touch input, and

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a menu for receiving the user touch input, the menu comprising a menu item of at least one of movement, rotation or size adjustments of the first region.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the image in the first region in response to a second user touch input for the power-saving display mode.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the image in the first region in response to occurrence of an event.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the event occurs from an external apparatus.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the menu is displayed in response to selection of the first region.

6. The display apparatus according claim 1 , wherein, based on the menu item of the at least one of the movement, the rotation or the size adjustments of the first region being selected the processor is further configured to hide menu items of the others of the movement, the rotation or the size adjustments of the first region.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the menu in a second region adjacent to the selected first region.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the menu throughout at least one region among the plurality of regions.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a gyroscope configured to sense an orientation of the display,

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the image in the first region which is activated corresponding to the sensed orientation of the display.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a global positioning system (GPS) for sensing a location of the display apparatus,

wherein the processor configured to control the display to display the image in the power-saving mode according to the location sensed by the GPS.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a GPS for sensing a location of the display apparatus,

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the image in a normal display mode according to the location sensed by the GPS.

12. An image displaying method of a display apparatus, comprising:

based on a user touch input for selecting a region among a plurality of regions in a screen of the display apparatus being received, displaying an image on the selected region; and

making the other regions except the selected region where the image is displayed be in a power-saving mode,

wherein the image is displayed in the selected region after a release of the user touch input, and

further comprising:

displaying a menu for receiving the user touch input, the menu comprising a menu item of at least one of movement, rotation or size adjustments of the region.

13. A nonvolatile recording medium which stores a program for performing the image displaying method according to claim 12 .
