Methods and apparatuses are provided for transmitting information about an omni-directional image based on user motion information by a server. Motion parameters are received from an apparatus worn by a user for displaying an omni-directional image. User motion information is generated based on the received motion parameters. First packing information corresponding to a user position is generated based on the user motion information. Second packing information corresponding to a position in close proximity to the user position is generated based on the user motion information. Third packing information is generated based on the first packing information and the second packing information At least one of the first packing information, the second packing information, and the third packing information is transmitted to the apparatus.

Method and apparatus for displaying image based on user motion information

A method for controlling a user interface of an apparatus to enable intuitive manipulation for an object included in an image is provided. An object with deeper depth in a rear image of the apparatus may become selectable when the user holds a user input means close to the apparatus, while an object with shallower depth in the rear image may become selectable when the user draws the user input means away from the apparatus, thereby allowing the user to intuitively select an object in the rear image.

Apparatus and method for controlling user interface to select object within image and image input device

A method and an apparatus are provided for providing additional information service in a mobile communication terminal. A microphone receives a sound signal including an audible frequency band and an inaudible frequency band. Additional information related to the service is detected in the inaudible frequency band included in the sound signal. The detected additional information is extracted from the sound signal. Data for providing the service is acquired based on the extracted additional information. A service screen is displayed based on the acquired data.

Methods, systems, and devices for guiding a subject back within the recognizable visual range of a multimedia system are described. According to one of the described methods, when it is determined that the target has left the recognizable range of the multimedia system, sensor information is acquired from a portable electronic device (or controller) the user has been using to control the multimedia system, and the acquired sensor information is used to determine where the user is, relative to the recognizable range. In one example, the user is asked to make a gesture with the portable electronic device, and the sensor information concerning that gesture is used to determine the user's relative location. In another example, the sensor information recorded at the time the user left the recognizable range is used to determine the user's relative location.

Method for guiding controller to move to within recognizable range of multimedia apparatus, the multimedia apparatus, and target tracking apparatus thereof

An apparatus and a method for recognizing a human body in a hybrid manner are provided. The method includes calculating body information used for recognizing a human body from an input image, detecting a region of the human body in a learning-based human body recognition manner by using the calculated body information, and tracing a movement of the detected region of the human body in a modeling-based human body recognition manner. Thereby, it is possible to quickly perform more accurate and precise recognition of the human body.

Apparatus and method for recognizing human body in hybrid manner

A method and an apparatus for controlling a display in order to secure an appropriate viewing distance between a digital device and a user who is viewing the digital device is provided. Accordingly, the method determines whether an object exists within a hazardous viewing distance using a 3D camera function provided in the digital device. If it is determined that an object exists within the hazardous viewing distance, the digital device detects a face or eyes from 2D images photographed by the camera. Next, the direction of the face is determined on the basis of the detected results, and it is determined whether a user is viewing a display screen of the digital device based on the determination. If it is determined that a user is viewing a display screen of a digital device, the digital device generates a warning that the user is positioned within a hazardous viewing distance.

Method and apparatus for protecting eyesight

A method and apparatus for setting a font size in a mobile terminal having a touch screen. During a font size setting mode, an area of a region where a user's finger touches the screen is detected. A font size corresponding to the detected area is determined from among preset font sizes, and the determined font size is displayed in a specific region on the touch screen. If a font size setting request to the displayed font size is received from the user, the displayed font size is stored for a subsequent display on the touch screen.

Method and apparatus for setting font size in a mobile terminal having a touch screen

An apparatus and method of a portable terminal outputting a sound effect are provided. An operation method of the portable terminal includes sensing an input, identifying a handwriting tool used for the input and a handwriting face displayed, and outputting a sound that mimics an actual handwriting operation of the portable terminal.

Apparatus and method of generating a sound effect in a portable terminal

An apparatus for controlling the operation of a portable terminal having a removable case is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of display units, each of the plurality of display units disposed in at least one of a front surface and a rear surface of the portable terminal, a detecting unit for detecting that at least one of the front or rear surfaces of the portable terminal is proximate to a corresponding cover of the removable case and a controller for activating a display unit disposed in one of the front and rear surfaces of the portable terminal when proximity of a corresponding cover of the removable case to said one of the front and rear surface is not detected. Accordingly, a user's ability to shift between screens is more easily performed and may be performed without a separate key input.

Apparatus for controlling operation in wireless terminal with removable case

A method and apparatus are provided for enhancing the readability of a character. The method includes determining ambient light of a mobile terminal and controlling background color and character color of a character image according to the determined ambient light. The method may further include performing an additional control according to the types of displays when controlling the background color and character color. Through this, it is possible to display a character image with enhanced visibility, while minimizing current consumption.

Apparatus and method for enhancing readability of a character

An apparatus and method for providing an AR service using a sound. When a user starts an AR service providing function in a mobile communication terminal, a sound signal is received, whether the sound signal is carrying additional information is determined by analyzing the sound signal, if the additional information is carried on the sound signal, the additional information is extracted, data associated with the extracted additional information is acquired, and the AR service is provided using the acquired data. Accordingly, various kinds of additional information may be provided, and the AR service may be provided.

A method and mobile communication terminal for storing phone book data in the mobile communication terminal are provided in which phone book data can be registered group-by-group, where a predetermined is selected group among the registered groups in response to a user's request, and at least one of phone book data stored in the selected group is moved and stored into a group assigned by the user when a phone book data movement request is input by the user. Accordingly, a plurality of phone book data stored in a predetermined group among phone book data stored in a group basis in a mobile communication terminal can be easily moved and stored into another group. In addition, since the user can easily store phone book data whose group is not identified in a predetermined group, user convenience improves.
