Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing video, which provides video data by being connected to an external display device, the apparatus comprising: a screen, which displays the video data and has a horizontal length X and a vertical length Y; a display device information reader, which reads display device information about a screen size of the external display device including a horizontal length X′ and a vertical length Y′; a graphical user interface (GUI) data storage unit, which stores data about a GUI displayed on the external display device; a GUI controller, which generates a control signal for changing at least one of a size and configuration of the GUI according to the screen size of the external display device; a GUI generator, which generates a GUI by changing the at least one of size and configuration of the GUI according to the control signal; and a video processor, which scales the video data according to ratio of X:X′ and Y: Y′, combines and processes the generated GUI and the scaled video data, wherein at least one of the display device information reader, GUI data storage unit, GUI controller, GUI generator and video processor, is implemented as a hardware component, and wherein the GUI generator comprises: a GUI scaling ratio calculator, which calculates a scaling ratio of the GUI according to the screen size of the external display device; and a GUI changer, which changes the size of the GUI according to the calculated scaling ratio, and the GUI scaling ratio is different from X:X′ and Y:Y′.
