An image display device and method may be provided for pairing with a remote control device for transmitting a command to the image display device. Upon power-on, the image display device may be paired with the remote control device. When the image display device is power-on, a guide screen may be displayed to indicate how to pair the image display device with the remote control device. A user may easily pair the remote control device with the image display device through the pairing guide screen.
1. A method of operating an image display device, comprising:
receiving a power-on signal;
displaying a Graphic User Interface (GUI) including a guide screen for pairing a remote controller with the image display device, wherein the guide screen provides information about a button to input a pairing command from among buttons of the remote controller;
performing a pairing process between a remote controller and the image display device based on a pairing command;
displaying a screen indicating a pairing in progress;
establishing a pairing between the remote controller and the image display device based on information provided in the guide screen of the GUI; and
displaying a pointer based on a movement of the remote controller after establishing the pairing between the remote controller and the image display device.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising displaying a message indicating a pairing completion.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the pairing process comprises:
transmitting pairing-available frequency channel information to the remote controller, and
receiving a selected frequency channel information of the remote controller.
4. An image display device comprising:
a display;
a radio signal transceiver for receiving a power-on signal; and
a controller to control the display to display a Graphic User Interface (GUI) including a guide screen for pairing a remote controller with the image display device, to perform a pairing process between the remote controller and the image display device based on a pairing command, to control the display to display a screen indicating a pairing in progress, and to establish a pairing between the image display device and the remote controller based on information provided in the guide screen of the GUI, wherein the guide screen provides information about a button to input the pairing command from among a plurality of buttons of the remote controller,
wherein the controller controls the display to display a pointer based on a movement of the remote controller after establishing the pairing between the remote controller and the image display device.
5. The image display device according to claim 4 , wherein the controller controls the display to display a message indicating a pairing completion.
6. The image display device according to claim 4 , wherein the radio signal transceiver transmits pairing-available frequency channel information to the remote controller, and receives a selected frequency channel information of the remote controller.
