Disclosed is a method of detecting obstacle around a vehicle. The method of detecting an obstacle around a vehicle, includes: acquiring an image of the obstacle around the vehicle using a monocular camera; creating, by a controller, a distance based cost map, a color based cost map and an edge based cost map from the image; and integrating, by the controller, the distance based cost map, the color based cost map, and the edge based cost map to create a final cost map, and estimating, by the controller, a height of the obstacle from the final cost map.

Disclosed are a mobile terminal, and an incoming screen display method thereof. The mobile terminal comprises: a communication unit configured to perform a communication with a transmitting terminal and/or a community server; and a controller configured to download a sender's content by requesting search for the sender's content from the community server when a call request is received from the transmitting terminal, and configured to display the downloaded content.

Mobile terminal and incoming screen display method thereof

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal and the control method therefor of the present invention can: broadcast, to at least one external electronic device, advertising data and a signal for requesting the activation of a second layer included in a communication unit of the at least one external electronic device through a first layer related to low-power near field communication technology; pair with a specific electronic device through a second layer related to specific near field communication technology distinguished from the low-power near field communication technology, if a response to the activation request is received from the specific electronic device among the at least one external electronic device; and transmit data to the paired specific electronic device. According to the present invention, pairing can be performed so as to form a communication channel using second near field communication technology by using first near field communication technology of low energy, when a specific event occurs.

Mobile terminal and control method therefor

Provided is a gaze tracking apparatus for a user wearing a vision aid, the apparatus including a lighting element unit including a first infrared lighting element and a second infrared lighting element to radiate an infrared light to a user, an image acquirer to acquire an eye image of the user, the eye image including a first corneal reflection light, a second corneal reflection light, a first lens reflection light, and a second lens reflection light, and a processor to turn off the second infrared lighting element when interference occurs between the second lens reflection light and the first corneal reflection light in the acquired eye image, and to compute a gaze position of the user based on user calibration information, and coordinates of the first corneal reflection light.

Method of acquiring gaze information irrespective of whether user wears vision aid and moves

Systems, circuits, and devices for reducing leakage current in a mobile device with an embedded battery are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for reducing leakage current in a mobile device with an embedded battery comprises a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a switch device electrically coupled to the embedded battery and the PMIC, and a low power personal area network (PAN) module coupled to the embedded battery, the PMIC, and the switch device. The low power PAN module is configured to maintain the switch device in an open state while an application processor (AP) of the mobile device is off and to close the switch device in response to a receipt of an AP ON request signal to wake up the AP, where the open state of the switch device blocks leakage current flowing from the battery to the PMIC.
