Claims (50)

1. A character correcting method of a display apparatus, the character correcting method comprising:

displaying at least one word in a character input window;

displaying, in response to one of the at least one word displayed in the character input window being selected, a first graphical user interface (GUI) in which the selected word is displayed by a character unit; and

displaying, in response to one of a plurality of characters displayed in the first GUI being selected, a second GUI at a top area and a bottom area of the selected character, the second GUI being used to edit the selected character.

2. The character correcting method of claim 1 ,

wherein the display apparatus is controlled depending on a user manipulation, and

wherein the second GUI comprises at least one of a delete item for deleting the selected character and an insert item for inserting a blank space in front of the selected character.

3. The character correcting method of claim 2 , wherein

the delete item is arranged at the bottom area of the selected character.

4. The character correcting method of claim 2 , wherein

the insert item is arranged at the top area of the selected character.

5. The character correcting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, in response to one of the plurality of characters of the at least one selected word being selected, at least one recommended word using the plurality of characters except for the selected character.

6. The character correcting method of claim 1 , further comprising:

changing, in response to a user command being input to select one of the plurality of characters in order to change the selected character after the second GUI is displayed, the previously selected character to a newly selected character; and

displaying the newly selected character.

7. The character correcting method of claim 1 , wherein

the display apparatus is controlled depending on a motion of a user, and

in response to detecting that, after the first GUI is displayed, the motion of the user is input and detected, and the motion of the user moves in a left direction or a right direction while maintaining the motion of the user, multi-characters, of the plurality of characters displayed in the first GUI, are selected.

8. A display apparatus comprising:

a display which displays at least one word in a character input window;

an input unit which receives a user manipulation; and

a controller which controls the display to display, in response to one of the at least one word displayed in the character input window being selected through the input unit, a first graphical user interface (GUI) in which the selected word is displayed by a character unit, and display, in response to one of a plurality of characters displayed in the first GUI being selected through the input unit, a second GUI at a top area and a bottom area of the selected character, the second GUI being used to edit the selected character.

9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein

the second GUI comprises at least one of a delete item for deleting the selected character and an insert item for inserting a blank space in front of the selected character.

10. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the controller controls the display to position the delete item at the bottom area of the selected character.

11. The display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the controller controls the display to position the insert item at the top area of the selected character.

12. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein,

in response to one of the plurality of characters of the at least one selected word selected, the controller provides at least one recommended word using the plurality of characters except for the selected character.

13. The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein,

in response to a user command being input to select one of the plurality of characters in order to change the selected character after the second GUI is displayed, the controller controls the display to change the previously selected character to a newly selected character and display the newly selected character.

14. A character correcting method of a display apparatus, the character correcting method comprising:

displaying a word comprising a plurality of characters in a character input window;

displaying, in response to one of the plurality of characters being selected, a graphical user interface (GUI) at a top area and a bottom area of the selected character, the GUI being configured to edit the selected character; and

displaying a virtual keyboard configured to replace the selected character with a character entered on the virtual keyboard.

15. The character correcting method of claim 14 ,

wherein the display apparatus is controlled depending on a user manipulation, and

wherein the GUI comprises at least one of a delete item for deleting the selected character and an insert item for inserting a blank space in front of the selected character.

16. The character correcting method of claim 15 , wherein the delete item is arranged at the bottom area of the selected character.

17. The character correcting method of claim 15 , wherein the insert item is arranged at the top area of the selected character.

18. The character correcting method of claim 14 , further comprising:

providing, in response to one of the plurality of characters being selected, at least one recommended word using the plurality of characters except for the selected character.

19. The character correcting method of claim 14 , further comprising:

changing, in response to a user command being input to select one of the plurality of characters in order to change the selected character after the GUI is displayed, the previously selected character to a newly selected character entered via the virtual keyboard; and
