Therefore, it is possible to use a personalized service while protecting the privacy of a plurality of users.

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to control the image display device such as volume control, channel change, etc. using the portable terminal. Therefore, the image display apparatus may grant or cancel the control right of the image display apparatus to a specific terminal.

However, when a plurality of users log in and control the image display device, conflicting commands may be input or other users may feel uncomfortable.

Accordingly, when the second user account is logged in while being logged in with the first user account, the present invention may cancel the control authority of the image display apparatus granted to the first mobile terminal. That is, in the common mode, it may be set such that no mobile terminal can control the image display device.

In a common mode in which a plurality of users are logged in, the image display apparatus logs out of the second user account when receiving a logout input of the second user account.

Then, only one first user account remains in the account that is logged in again in the common mode. Accordingly, the image display apparatus switches the common setting screen to a screen based on the first user account setting. That is, since only one user is logged in again, a personalized screen is provided.

In this case, the control authority of the image display apparatus can be granted to the first portable terminal.

Alternatively, in the common mode state, when the image display device receives a logout input of the first user account, the image display device logs out of the first user account.

Then, only one second user account remains in the account that is logged in again in the common mode, and the image display device switches the common setting screen to a screen based on the second user account setting.

On the other hand, even in this case, the second mobile terminal can be given the control authority of the video display device.

Meanwhile, referring back to FIG. 8, the operation method of the portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described again. First, the portable terminal transmits login information of the user account to the image display apparatus (S810).

Subsequently, when receiving information for displaying a screen based on the setting of the user account from the image display apparatus (S820), the portable terminal displays a screen based on the same user account setting as the screen displayed on the image display apparatus. (S830)

On the other hand, as described above, the mobile terminal may control the image display device by obtaining the control authority of the image display device from the image display device after login.

Subsequently, when there is a login of the video display device of another user, a message informing the login of another user account may be received from the video display device.

In addition, when there are a plurality of user account logins, the video display device may be switched to the common setting screen, and may transmit information for displaying the common setting screen to the mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal can display a menu for selecting whether the user displays a screen for each account or a common setting screen, and displays the selected screen.

That is, the user may select to watch the same screen as the video display device or to view a screen for each personalized account.

Meanwhile, a menu for selecting whether a user displays a screen for each account or a common setting screen may be included in a message for notifying login of the other user account.

On the other hand, if there is no special selection input of the user, it is possible to display the screen for each account of the user of the portable terminal. Since the portable terminal is a personalized device, the screen for each account may be given priority.
