Abstract

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus including a display, a memory configured to store color feedback information for input objects, a user interface configured to receive a user command, and a controller configured to control the display to provide color feedback corresponding to an input object input according to the user command based on the color feedback information stored in the memory in response to the user command being received.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display; a memory configured to store color feedback information for input objects; a user interface configured to receive a user command; and a controller configured to control the display to provide color feedback corresponding to an input object based on the color feedback information stored in the memory.

2 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the memory is configured to store at least one of color feedback information for letter types and color feedback information for individual letters.

3 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the letter types include at least one of a capital type, a small letter type, a number type, a special symbol type, and a letter type including double consonants.

4 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein, the display is configured to display an input handwriting when a handwriting input is received, and the controller is configured to provide color feedback corresponding to a preset letter recognized by the handwriting input on the displayed handwriting based on the color feedback information stored in the memory.

5 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to provide a color corresponding to the preset letter to the displayed handwriting with a highlighter effect.

6 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display is configured to display an input window, and the controller is configured to provide color feedback corresponding to a preset key input to the input window based on the color feedback information stored in the memory.

7 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the preset key includes at least one among special keys included on a keyboard, and the controller is configured to provide the color feedback by changing a color of the input window to a color corresponding to the preset key based on color feedback information corresponding to the special keys.

8 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the controller is configured to provide color feedback by changing a color of the input window to a color determined based on a priority set to a plurality of special keys when a plurality of special keys are simultaneously active.

9 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the controller is configured to provide color feedback by alternately changing a color of the input window to colors corresponding to a plurality of special keys when a plurality of special keys are simultaneously active.

10 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to provide a user interface (UI) for enabling selection of an input object and a feedback color according to a preset event, and is configured to store an input object selected on the UI and a color corresponding to the selected input object as color feedback information corresponding to the selected object.

11 . A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving a user command; and providing color feedback corresponding to an input object according to the user command based on color feedback information pre-stored according to input objects.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the color feedback information pre-stored according to the input objects includes at least one of color feedback information for letter types and color feedback information for individual letters.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the letter types include at least one of a capital type, a small letter type, a number type, a special symbol type, and a letter type including double consonants.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising displaying a handwriting input,
wherein the providing of the color feedback includes providing color feedback corresponding to a preset letter recognized by the handwriting input on the displayed handwriting based on the pre-stored color feedback information.

15 . The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the providing of the color feedback includes providing a color corresponding to the preset letter to the displayed handwriting with a highlighter effect.

16 . The method as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising displaying an input window,
wherein the providing of the color feedback includes providing color feedback corresponding to a preset key input to the input window based on the pre-stored color feedback information.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the preset key includes at least of a plurality of special keys included on a keyboard, and the providing of the color feedback includes providing the color feedback by changing a color of the input window to a color corresponding to the input special key based on color feedback information corresponding to the special keys.

18 . The method as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the providing of the color feedback includes providing the color feedback by changing a color of the input window to a color determined based on a priority set to a plurality of special keys when a plurality of special keys are simultaneously active.

19 . The method as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the providing of the color feedback includes providing the color feedback by alternately changing a color of the input window to colors corresponding to a plurality of special keys when a plurality of special keys are simultaneously active.

20 . The method as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising:
providing a user interface (UI) enabling selection of an input object and a feedback color according to a preset event; and storing an input object selected on the UI and a color corresponding to the selected input object as color feedback information corresponding to the selected object.
