The server 10 may be a service provider, a content provider, a network provider, or a network service provider described in the present invention described in FIG. 1. If the network service is a social network service, the server 10 may be a social network (SNS) server providing this service.

When a user uses a plurality of devices as shown in FIG. 4, a filtering condition may be set only for a specific device to filter and output an event of a network service for each device. For example, the mobile terminal 300 that is likely to be used for personal use does not set filtering conditions to receive events of all network services in real time, but on the video display device 100 that may be used for public use. You can set filtering conditions to block and display incoming events.

Therefore, the network service processing method of the present invention can be flexibly utilized by allowing the received event not to be selectively blocked and displayed only for the device for which the filtering condition is set.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a network service processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S11, it is monitored whether an event included in a network service is received. Monitoring of events can be done at predetermined intervals or according to external commands.

In step S12, it is determined whether a received event exists. The received event may be plural.

In step S13, it is determined whether the received event is a filtering event based on a predetermined filtering condition. When there are a plurality of reception events, it may be determined whether a filtering condition is applicable for each event.

In step S14, if the received event is a filtering event, the corresponding event is stored.

In step S15, it is determined whether there is a request for displaying a filtering event. The user may input an event display command through the user interface of the image display device. If there is no display request from the user, the event is continuously monitored (step S11).

In step S16, when there is an event display request from the user, a list of stored filtering events is displayed.

In step S17, it is determined whether the network service is terminated. For example, even if the network service is executed during the operation time of the image display device, the service may be terminated when there is an interruption or termination command from the user. In addition, the present invention may be applied even when the power of the video display device to receive and display the network service is cut off or the network is disconnected.

If none of the above is true, the event is continuously monitored (step S11).

In step S18, when it does not correspond to the filtering event in step S13, the reception event is displayed or output. The display method of the reception event may vary according to the service method of the corresponding network service provider.

In step S22, it is determined whether a received event exists. There may be a plurality of events received.

In step S23, the relay server classifies the received event as a filtering event or a passing event based on the predetermined filtering condition. The pass event may be an event that does not meet the filtering condition.

In step S24, it is determined whether the received event is a filtering event.

The operations of the above steps S23 and S24 may be performed simultaneously or as one operation without being separated.

In step S25, when the received event is a filtering event, the corresponding event is stored.

In step S26, it is determined whether there is a request for transmission of the filtering event. The event transmission request may be transmitted from the video display device to the relay server through a network. If there is no event transmission request, the relay server continuously monitors whether an event has been received (step S11).

In step S27, if there is an event transmission request, a list of stored filtering events is transmitted.

On the other hand, if the received event is not a filtering event in step S24, the event is transmitted to the video display device (step S29).

The video display device may display the transmitted event (step S30) or display an event list (step S28).
