Abstract

A display apparatus, including a display configured to display an image, at least one sensor configured to generate sensing data relating to a position of a user with respect to the display apparatus, a memory configured to store background image data relating to a background image of a background area behind the display, and a processor configured to generate a content screen based on the background image data and the sensing data and control the display to display generated content screen, wherein the content screen includes at least one graphic object disposed on the background image, and wherein at least one from among the background image and the at least one graphic object are changed in response to a change of the sensing data.

Claims (28)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display configured to display an image;

at least one sensor configured to generate sensing data relating to a position of a user with respect to the display apparatus;

a memory configured to store background image data relating to a background image of a background area behind the display; and

a processor configured to generate a content screen based on the background image data and the sensing data and control the display to display the generated content screen,

wherein the content screen includes the background image and at least one graphic object disposed on the background image, and

wherein at least one from among the background image and the at least one graphic object are changed in response to a change of the sensing data.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a user movement determined based on the sensing data, change at least one from among a position, a color, and a size of the at least one graphic object based on the user movement.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a user movement determined based on the sensing data, change at least a part of the at least one graphic object based on the user movement.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to a determination based on the sensing data that the user is positioned within a predetermined distance from the display apparatus control the display to remove at least a part of the at least one graphic object.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to receiving a user input while the at least one graphic object is displayed, control the display to rotate the at least one graphic object based on the user input.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to change a brightness of the content screen in response to a user movement determined based on the sensing data.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the content screen further includes a shadow of the at least one graphic object, and

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to change the shadow in response to a change of the at least one graphic object.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one camera configured to acquire an image having an angle of view of 360 degrees with reference to the display apparatus,

wherein the background image data is acquired by using a camera from among the at least one camera to photograph the background area behind the display apparatus.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor is further configured to include at least one camera having an angle of view of at least 180 degrees with reference to the display apparatus, and

wherein the at least one camera is further configured to acquire the sensing data.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to deactivate the display in response to determining that the user is not present in a peripheral area of the display apparatus based on the sensing data.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content screen comprises an image generated by combining the at least one graphic object with the background image.

12. A method for controlling a display apparatus that includes a display, the method comprising:

storing background image data relating to a background image of a background area behind the display;

acquiring, from at least one sensor, sensing data relating to a position of a user with respect to the display apparatus;

generating a content screen based on the background image data and the sensing data; and

displaying the generated content screen,

wherein the content screen includes the background image and at least one graphic object disposed on the background image, and

wherein at least one from among the background image and the at least one graphic object are changed in response to a change of the sensing data.
