An intuitive information search method and device based on a displayed image and a computer readable recording medium thereof. The information search method based on an image displayed on a device includes recognizing a first input indicating a selection related to a plurality of objects included in the image, recognizing a second input indicating a search relationship between the selected plurality of objects, and searching for information based on the first input and the second input; and outputting found information through the device.

Information search method and device and computer readable recording medium thereof

Provided is a home monitoring method and apparatus. A home gateway executes receiving, from a mobile terminal, a request message for requesting home monitoring, providing, to the mobile terminal in response to the request message, monitoring information associated with a camera module included in at least one home device registered in advance and/or a position to be monitored, receiving, from the mobile terminal, selection information indicating a first camera module selected based on the monitoring information, transmitting, to the mobile terminal, image data captured and collected by the first camera module in response to the reception of the selection information, receiving, from the mobile terminal, a control command with respect to the first camera module, and transmitting the control command to a first home device including the first camera module.

Home monitoring method and apparatus

Provided is a remote control method and apparatus in a home network system including multiple home devices. The remote control method includes receiving operation state information from the respective multiple home devices, receiving a control command for operation control of at least one of the multiple home devices from a user device, determining a control target home device based on the control command, sending the control command to the determined control target home device, receiving processing result information corresponding to execution of the control command from the control target home device, and transmitting the processing result information to the user device.

Method and apparatus for controlling a home device remotely in a home network system

According to the present invention, content generated from a mobile terminal, a camera, or the like is stored automatically in a home gateway in a home network system. If synchronization is set between the home gateway and a home device, the home gateway may transmit backup content to the synchronized home device. Content may be selectively stored and classified based on a specific location, memo, voice, and the like set by a user for privacy protection.

Apparatus and method for contents back-up in home network system

A user terminal apparatus and a communication method using the same are provided. A user terminal apparatus includes an inputter configured to receive a request for an access to a second user terminal apparatus; a communicator configured to receive service information including at least one communication service provided in the second user terminal apparatus; a displayer configured to display the service information; and a controller configured to, when at least one of the service information is selected, access the second user terminal apparatus through a communication service corresponding to the selected service information.

User terminal apparatus and method for communication using the same

A method and apparatus for managing data is provided, including determining one or more network services associated with user-uploaded data stored in a database, and linking the user-uploaded data with the one or more network services to provide the user-uploaded data via the one or more network services.

Method and apparatus for managing data

A screen providing device and a method of providing a user interface (UI) are provided. The method includes operations of selecting a service to be provided via a service providing device; selecting a UI configuring element stored in a database, based on the selected service; and displaying on a screen a UI comprising the UI configuring element.

Service providing device, and method of providing a user interface

Provided is a method and apparatus for controlling home devices forming a home network at a time by using a mobile terminal in a home network system. In particular, the present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for controlling home devices at a time, depending on a type of contents. A method for playing contents in a Home GateWay (HGW) in a home network system includes receiving from a mobile terminal a control command requesting continuous playback of contents that are currently played in the mobile terminal and controlling at least one home devices in response to the control command.

Apparatus and method for playing contents in home network system

A user interface (UI)-providing system and method for device control are provided. The User Interface (UI) providing method, the method includes: identifying at least one controlled devices relating to an activity mode selected by a user; collecting control information relating to functions provided by the identified at least one controlled devices; and generating a UI used to control the at least one controlled devices relating to the activity mode based on the collected control information.

Method and system for providing user interface for device control

A method for estimating location, and an apparatus using the same. The method for estimating location includes receiving information on the location of a plurality of external apparatuses from the plurality of external apparatuses; setting estimable areas for estimating an area wherein there is a possibility that the device is located based on the information on the location of the plurality of external apparatuses; and determining a predetermined area of the estimable areas to be an estimation area wherein there is the possibility that the device is located. If it is impossible to receive a GPS signal, the location information of a device is estimated using information on the location of an external apparatus communicable with the device.

Method for estimating location and apparatus using the same

An electronic device for 3-dimensionally inputting a user command and a method employing the same are provided. The electronic device includes a touch pad sensing a 3-dimensional interface and a controller controlling a GUI (graphical user interface) in response to the 3-dimensional interface sensed by the touch pad. Thus, a user command can be 3-dimensionally input so as to harmonize a 3-dimensional varying method of a 3-dimensional GUI with a 3-dimensional input manipulation of a user.

Electronic device for inputting user command 3-dimensionally and method for employing the same

An apparatus and method for displaying information using a mobile terminal connectable to peripheral devices through corresponding wireless communication is provided. The method includes receiving profile information from one or more of the peripheral devices connected through the corresponding wireless communication, each received profile information having identification information identifying the corresponding one or more peripheral devices and content information on the corresponding one or more peripheral devices, and listing the received profile information organized according to signal strength of the one or more peripheral devices from which the profile information is received.
