A multimedia sharing apparatus uses a copy of a metadata database of a portable terminal for copying the metadata database stored in a server. The multimedia sharing apparatus stores the copied metadata database in the portable terminal, and reduces an overhead using the stored metadata database when a user searches data. A multimedia sharing method includes requesting a server to transmit a metadata database at a portable terminal, receiving access information capable of accessing the metadata database of the server at the portable terminal from the server, and reading the metadata database of the server at the portable terminal using the access information.

An image apparatus and an image processing method are provided. The image apparatus determines a type of original format of inputted image data and determines a degree of noise reduction in accordance with the determined type of original format. As a result, an optimized noise reduction can be carried out.

Image apparatus for determining type of image data and method for processing image applicable thereto

An apparatus and method for searching a handwritten memo, which is input by a user using a digital pen interface, for a word corresponding to the user's query. The apparatus includes a preprocessing unit which removes unnecessary portions from digital ink data of an input query phrase and an input memo to reduce an information amount, a feature extraction unit which extracts a feature vector from the digital ink data having the reduced information amount, and a query searching unit which searches the memo for a portion matched with the query phrase in units of segments. Therefore, an accurate result can be obtained quickly when an existing memo or document is searched for desired content by inputting a query phrase using a digital pen.

Apparatus and method for searching for digital ink query

In a fast, convenient voice dialing apparatus and method, users efficiently and conveniently apply a telephone number digit recognition engine to number dialing. By voicing only a subset of a telephone number among telephone numbers pre-registered in a telephone number directory, the success rate of number dialing and convenience of users increases. The voice dialing apparatus includes a fast voice dial mode setting unit, a contracted number database, a contracted number detection unit, and a telephone number connection unit. Since a user only needs to voice a subset of a telephone number stored in a telephone number directory, long telephone numbers are dialed with better recognition performance at an improved speed. Since telephone numbers that users try to call are pre-stored in a telephone number directory, the number of combinable numbers equals the number of lists registered in the telephone number directory, and recognition speed and performance are improved.
