A portable device and a method for controlling brightness thereof are provided. The portable device includes a display, a sensor and a controller. The display provides a display region that is displayed with a first brightness. The sensor senses a surrounding brightness of the portable device. The controller controls the display to display a partial region corresponding to a User Interaction (UI) element in the display region with a second brightness based on the sensed surrounding brightness.

Portable device and method for controlling brightness of the same

A portable device and a method for providing a User Interface (UI) mode are provided. The portable device includes a display unit, a sensor unit for sensing a user's motion, and a control unit for controlling, if the user's motion is sensed by the sensor unit, the display unit to release a standby mode of the portable device and to output a UI mode screen corresponding to a type of the motion.

Portable device and method for providing user interface mode thereof

A method and apparatus for managing content, where content received or generated in a device is automatically grouped and managed in real-time, and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method which includes detecting whether content is received or generated by a device, grouping the received or generated content with another received or generated content, and displaying the grouped content on the device, wherein the another content includes at least one content received or generated before the detected received or generated content.

Method, apparatus, and computer readable recording medium for automatic grouping and management of content in real-time

An example user terminal device includes a display unit, including a display, configured to display a lock screen. The lock screen includes content representative information representing content included in a message that is provided by an acquaintance of a user of the user terminal device, and a first user interface element. A control unit, including a processor, is configured to, when a user input signal is received via the first user interface element, execute an application capable of reproducing the content and to reproduce the content.

User terminal and method of displaying lock screen thereof

A portable device providing notice information and a method for providing the notice information thereof are provided. The portable device includes a display configured to be divided into areas respectively corresponding to types of notice information, and a controller configured to sense an event corresponding to the notice information, and control the display to activate pixels included in an area corresponding to a type of the notice information, and inactivate pixels included in an area not corresponding to the type of the notice information, among the areas, in response to the controller sensing the event.

Portable device and method for providing notice information thereof

A screen displaying method in a portable apparatus includes displaying a personal screen of an application executed by the portable apparatus in response to input user identification information; detecting a touch on the personal screen; and controlling the personal screen in response to the touch to display a second screen, wherein the second screen includes at least a portion of a common screen which is a screen of an external device connectable through a network.

Portable apparatus and screen displaying method thereof

A method of displaying information when an electronic apparatus is booted is provided. The method includes storing specific information, the specific information being monitored and collected from data created when the electronic apparatus operates, in an information file, and executing the information file storing the specific information during booting of the electronic apparatus and displaying the specific information.

Method of displaying information in booting, and electronic apparatus and mobile terminal using the same

A method for sharing content in a portable apparatus with a remote device includes receiving user interaction with a document targeted for photographing through a camera of the portable apparatus; and transmitting information of a content corresponding to the document with at least one remote device so as to correspond to the user interaction with the document. The user interaction with the contents of the portable apparatus input through the camera is shared with the remote device.

Portable apparatus and method for sharing content with remote device thereof

A method for indicating a direction of content transfer intuitively and a device applying the same includes determining directions in which surrounding devices of the device are located, and a direction to which the content on a display of the device is to be moved, and transferring the content to the surrounding device located in the determined direction. Accordingly, it is possible to select a device to receive the content more easily and intuitively, and also input a command to select the device to receive the content and to transfer the content with one single manipulation.

Method for transmitting content with intuitively displaying content transmission direction and device using the same

An apparatus and method of controlling a motion of an object on a touch screen of a device including recognizing pressures at least two positions on the touch screen of the device, and controlling a motion of the object on the touch screen using a difference in pressure between the at least two recognized positions.

Motion control touch screen method and apparatus

A terminal device and a data transceiving method are provided. The terminal device includes a sensing unit which senses a momentum of the terminal device, an interface unit which receives a momentum from at least one external device, and a control unit which performs one of a data receiving operation, a data transmitting operation, and a data transceiving operation with the at least one external device depending on a comparison value obtained from a comparison of the sensed momentum with the received momentum to allow two devices to exchange data more easily.

Terminal device and method for transceiving data thereof
