A technique for controlling an electronic device thereof is provided. The technique includes, in response to an attachment device being selected by an external device from a list of attachment devices, receiving and storing mapping information in which data configured in a first communication format and data configured in a second communication format in relation to one function of the electronic device to which the attachment device is attached are mapped. In addition, in response to the data configured in the first communication format being received from an external device which is communicably connected with the attachment device, the data configured in the second communication format corresponding to the data configured in the first communication format based on the mapping information is acquired, and the data configured in the second communication format to the electronic device to control the one function of the electronic device to be performed is transmitted.

Attachment device and method for controlling electronic device thereof

A hub apparatus and a method are provided for selecting a device. The method includes receiving a service request; determining a sensor based on the received service request; receiving state information from a device including the determined sensor; and selecting the device based on the received state information.

Hub apparatus and method for providing service thereof

A character input method using a touch screen, in which one or more areas requiring user input is defined in the touch screen, pre-recognized information is defined for each of the defined areas, character information is received by a user in one or more user desired areas among the defined areas, the character information is recognized using a character recognizer, and the recognized character information is updated in the user desired areas.

Character recognition and character input apparatus using touch screen and method thereof

A portable terminal and a method for protecting a displayed object on a screen of a portable terminal are provided. The method includes detecting an input on the screen; forming an area corresponding to a position of the detected input; and displaying a part of an object corresponding to the formed area differently from another part of the object in an area outside of the formed area.

Portable terminal and method for partially obfuscating an object displayed thereon

An electronic device comprising: a visible light communication (VLC) transmitter; a radio transmitter; and at least one processor, configured to: control the radio transmitter to transmit a first data item to a receiving device; and control the VLC transmitter to transmit a second data item to the receiving device.

Method and apparatus for data transmission

A method of writing content through a writing input on a touch screen is provided. The method includes displaying written input content according to a writing input detection and identifying whether there is a proofreading mode control, and when there is the proofreading mode control, entering a proofreading mode, displaying the written input content according to the writing input detection, identifying a proofreading mark in the written input content, and applying an editing content corresponding to the proofreading mark, so as to proofread the written content.

Method and apparatus for making contents through writing input on touch screen

A method for creating an animation message includes generating input information containing information regarding input time and input coordinates according to input order of drawing information input through a touch screen; dividing an image containing the drawing information and background information into a plurality of blocks; creating an animation message by mapping the input information to the plurality of blocks so that the drawing information can be sequentially reproduced according to the input order; allocating a parity bit per pre-set block range of the animation message in order to detect an error occurring in the animation message; and transmitting the created animation message.

Method and apparatus for creating animation message

Disclosed is a character recognition preprocessing method and apparatus for correcting a nonlinear character string into a linear character string. A binarized character string region is divided into character regions on a character-by-character basis. Upper and lower feature points of each character region are derived, and an upper boundary line, which is a curve connecting the upper feature points of the character regions, and a lower boundary line, which is a curve connecting the lower feature points of the character regions, are generated by applying cubic spline interpolation. Nonlinearity is corrected through adaptive region enlargement by using the maximum horizontal length and the maximum height of the divided character regions.

Character recognition preprocessing method and apparatus

A character recognition apparatus and method based on a character orientation are provided, in which an input image is binarized, at least one character area is extracted from the binarized image, a slope value of the extracted at least one character area is calculated, the calculated slope value is set as a character feature value, and a character is recognized by using a neural network for recognizing a plurality of characters by receiving the set character feature value. Accordingly, the probability of wrongly recognizing a similar character decreases, and a recognition ratio of each character increases.

Character recognition apparatus and method based on character orientation

Disclosed is a method for retrieving a label in a portable terminal. The method includes obtaining a label image photographed through a camera, extracting characters included in the label image and recognizing the extracted characters, detecting at least one label including the recognized character from a label database including multiple labels and information on the multiple labels and constituting a preliminary label candidate group including said at least one label, detecting an image characteristic of the label image, detecting at least one label having an image characteristic, which is similar with the detected image characteristic, from the preliminary label candidate group, and constituting a final label candidate group, and providing each of said at least one label included in the final label candidate group and detailed information corresponding to each of said at least one label.

Method and apparatus for retrieving label

An image correction apparatus and method for eliminating a lighting component are provided. A photographed original image is divided into a plurality of block units to calculate a representative brightness value of each of the divided block units. A background image having the size of the original image is generated using the calculated brightness value and interpolation. A lighting component is extracted from the background image and a lighting component included in the original image is eliminated using the extracted lighting component.
