A method includes displaying a user interface for displaying a graphic and a hidden graphic in a first area; displaying a set of contents corresponding to the graphic in a second area distinguishable from the first area; detecting a user's gesture for selecting a part of the first area; enlarging the first area to include a part of the second area; displaying a plurality of graphics including the graphic and the hidden graphic in the extended first area in response to the user's gesture; detecting a user's additional gesture for moving a first graphic among the plurality of graphics; and moving the first graphic to a part of the extended first area in response to the user's additional gesture, and moving a second graphic of the plurality of graphics to an area from which the first graphic is moved out.

Method and apparatus for providing user interface of portable device

A method includes: executing an application prepared by an application programming interface (API) of a platform; and providing a network setting information to be used in the executed application to a display. A network connection is performed by the platform based on the network setting information.

Mobile device and control method thereof

A home system is provided. In a method of executing an application, information for executing the application is received from a device when accessing of the device is sensed, and the application is executed based on the received information. Accordingly, when a user merely brings a wireless guest device near to or in contact with an access point or a wired home device, it is possible to allow the wireless guest device to simultaneously automatically set an optimum security environment for a wireless network and execute an application that the user desires.

Method and apparatus for executing an application automatically according to the approach of wireless device

A method includes: executing an application prepared by an application programming interface (API) of a platform; and establishing a network connection. A first network connection is selected based on a determination that the application specifies a network connection, or a default network connection is selected, based on a determination that the application does not specify a network connection.

Provided is a mode-based access control method that includes: making a security mode list which indicates security setting states of devices existing in a home network; setting a specific security mode selected from the modes on the security mode list; and making the devices perform functions thereof in the specific security mode. Also, provided is a mode-based access control device includes: an authentication unit which checks information on a user and authenticates the user; a mode configuration unit which makes a security mode list indicating the security setting state of devices forming a home network; a mode setting unit which sets a specific security mode selected from modes on the security mode list; and an operating unit which causes the devices to perform functions thereof in the specific security mode.

Mode-based access control method and device

A method and an electronic device for sending and receiving data are provided. The method of the electronic device for sending and receiving data includes detecting a communication event of other electronic device, if detecting the communication event, sending information of an application running on the electronic device, to the other electronic device, receiving information of an application running on the other electronic device, from the other electronic device, determining an application execution screen by comparing the application information of the electronic device with the application information received from the other electronic device, and displaying the determined application execution screen.

Method and electronic device for sending and receiving data

The apparatus includes: a memory which maintains an application driving a list of a plurality of items; a display controller which controls the list to be displayed on the screen which is divided into a plurality of areas and each of the plurality of items is located in each of the plurality of areas; a processor which detects a change of an operation progress status of the plurality of items, wherein the display controller provides a visual feedback corresponding to the operation progress status of at least one of the plurality of items in the area of a corresponding item, whose change of the operation progress status is detected.

Method and apparatus for providing user interface

The present invention relates to a network device and method available for use in non-secure use mode. A network device according to the present invention includes an ownership establishment determination unit for determining whether ownership has been established in the network device and establishing either a secure or non-secure use mode, upon reception of a use request message from a user through a control unit; and a non-secure use range search unit for searching for a non-secure use range available in non-secure use mode, if the ownership establishment determination unit determines the establishment of the non-secure use mode, and granting the user a license for the searched non-secure range. According to the present invention, there is an advantage in that a license for an appropriate range of content of a secure network device can be granted to a user even during the initial construction stage of a home network.

Network device and method available for use under non-security mode

The mobile device includes a communication unit which performs communication through a network; and a control unit which executes an application prepared by an application programming interface (API) of the network function provided by a platform, and controls the communication unit to perform communication in accordance with a setup of a preferred network if the application includes the setup of the preferred network.

The mobile device for providing a haptic function includes a vibration unit which generates vibration for a tactile effect as the haptic function; and a control unit which includes a platform providing an application programming interface (API) corresponding to the haptic function and having a plurality of parameters, executes an application prepared by the API, determines a characteristic of the vibration based on the plurality of parameters set up in the application, and controls the vibration unit to generate the vibration having the determined characteristic.
