Abstract

Provided are a rotatable display device and a method of displaying content using the same. The display device includes a display; and a controller configured to control the display to display first video content based on a first source, sense pivoting of the display while the first video content is displayed, and control the display, in response to the pivoting, to display second video content based on at least one second source different from the first source, the second video content being different from the first video content.

Claims (41)

1. A display device comprising:

a display; and

a controller configured to:

control the display to display first video content provided by a first external source,

sense pivoting of the display while the first video content is displayed, and

control the display, based on the pivoting of the display being sensed, to display second video content provided by at least one second external source different from the first external source, the second video content being different from the first video content,

wherein the second video content includes content-related information of the first video content provided by the at least one second external source, and

wherein the controller is further configured to control the display, based on the pivoting of the display being sensed, to display the first video content provided by the first external source on a first portion of a screen of the display and the content-related information of the first video content provided by the at least one second external source on a second portion of the screen of the display.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second video content comprises personalized content for a user of the display device.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second external source comprises a source selected by a user of the display device.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first external source comprises a broadcast signal, and

wherein the at least one second external source comprises a wired or wireless communication signal of the display device.

5. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to obtain information related to the second video content, and

wherein the personalized content comprises the content-related information of the first video content.

6. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the personalized content comprises at least one of a preloaded channel list and a menu list related to the first video content.

7. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one second external source comprises a signal from a mobile device, and

wherein the personalized content is identical to third video content being displayed on a screen of the mobile device.

8. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the personalized content comprises at least one of a still image stored in the display device and a mobile device.

9. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the personalized content comprises a user interface configured to control a peripheral device capable of communicating with the display device.

10. A method of displaying content on a display device, the method comprising:

displaying first video content provided by a first external source;

sensing pivoting of the display device while the first video content is displayed; and

based on the pivoting of the display device being sensed, displaying second video content provided by at least one second external source different from the first external source, the second video content being different from the first video content,

wherein the second video content includes content-related information of the first video content provided by the at least one second external source, and

wherein the displaying of the second video content comprises, based on the pivoting of the display device being sensed, displaying the first video content provided by the first external source on a first portion of a screen of the display device and the content-related information of the first video content provided by the at least one second external source on a second portion of the screen of the display device.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second video content comprises personalized content for a user of the display device.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one second external source comprises a source selected by a user of the display device.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first external source comprises a broadcast signal, and

wherein the at least one second external source comprises one of a wired and wireless communication signal of the display device.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the displaying of the second video content comprises obtaining information related to the first video content based on the at least one second external source, and

wherein the personalized content comprises the content-related information of the first video content.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the personalized content comprises at least one of a preloaded channel list and a menu list related to the first video content.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one second external source comprises a signal from a mobile device, and

wherein the personalized content is identical to third video content being displayed on a screen of the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the personalized content comprises at least one of a still image stored in the display device and a mobile device.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program that is executable to perform a method of displaying content on a display device, the method comprising:

displaying first video content provided by a first external source;

sensing pivoting of the display device while the first video content is displayed; and

based on the pivoting of the display device being sensed, displaying second video content provided by at least one second external source different from the first external source, the second video content being different from the first video content,

wherein the second video content includes content-related information of the first video content provided by the at least one second external source, and

wherein the displaying of the second video content comprises, based on the pivoting of the display device being sensed, displaying the first video content provided by the first external source on a first portion of a screen of the display device and the content-related information of the first video content provided by the at least one second external source on a second portion of the screen of the display device.
