Disclosed herein is a device and method for demultiplexing in a digital broadcasting receiver for processing packet data configured by a packet header and a payload. A buffer buffers input packet data. Processors are parallel connected to the buffer. A packet header processor checks a packet header, identifies the presence of adaptation information, and generates a control signal according to the presence of the adaptation information. An adaptation information processor processes the adaptation information of buffered payload data under control of the packet header processor. A Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) header processor processes a PES header of the buffered payload data under the control of the packet header processor. A data processor generates an audio or video Elementary Stream (ES) from audio or video data of the buffered payload data under control of the PES header processor, and outputs the generated audio or video ES to an associated decoder.

Disclosed is a camera control method for a portable terminal, by which a lens unit of a camera of the portable terminal can be automatically drawn into or out of the portable terminal when a call is received in a camera mode of the portable terminal. The method comprises the steps of: determining if a call is received in the camera mode in which a lens unit of the portable terminal has been drawn out of the portable terminal; controlling the lens unit to be automatically drawn into the portable terminal while reporting call reception when the call is received; shifting the portable terminal into a communication mode and performing communication when a communication key is input; shifting the portable terminal into an initial camera mode when the initial camera mode is selected after the communication is performed and shifting the portable terminal into a previous camera mode when the previous camera mode is selected after the communication is performed; and interrupting call reception and controlling the lens unit to be automatically drawn out of the portable terminal while maintaining the camera mode when a cancel key is selected.

Method for controlling a camera mode in a portable terminal

A device and method for using a rotating key on a mobile terminal is provided. The mobile terminal includes a plurality of dome switches which can detect a contact signal when pressed and a plurality of contact surfaces which can detect the position of the rotating key in each direction of rotation. The device and method comprises a folder opening/closing sensor for detecting whether a folder of the mobile terminal is opened or closed; first and second display sections for displaying menus or data according to the operation of the rotating key; and a control section for controlling the mobile terminal to display a menu or data selected by the operation of the rotating key on the first display section or the second display section according to an output from the folder opening/closing sensor.

A method and wireless terminal for providing an electronic dictionary function in the wireless terminal having the electronic dictionary are provided, in which a word is searched in the electronic dictionary, which corresponds to characters input through a character recognition mode, when the wireless terminal is in a word search mode; when more than a threshold number of words are found, a voice recognition mode is executed; and a word is searched through the character recognition mode, which corresponds to voice input through the voice recognition mode.

Method for providing an electronic dictionary in wireless terminal and wireless terminal implementing the same

A method is disclosed displaying digital broadcasting channel information in a wireless terminal. The method for displaying digital broadcasting channel information in a folder-type wireless terminal including a main body and a sub-body installed on the main body in such a manner that the sub-body is movable between opened and closed positions with respect to the main body, the sub-body including an internal display part installed on an inside surface of the sub-body and an external display part installed on an outside surface of the sub-body, includes creating a list of current broadcast programs for channels based on digital broadcast program guide data, which are previously stored, if a predetermined key is input in a state where the sub-body is opposite to the main body, and displaying the created list of the current broadcast programs for channels on the external display part. A user utilizing a folder-type wireless terminal can easily determine channel information of a digital broadcasting service, which is currently broadcasted, through the external display part without opening a sub-body (i.e. folder) of the folder-type wireless terminal. In addition, it is possible to simply determine channel information of a digital broadcasting service, which is currently broadcasted, only by inputting a predetermined key when the folder of the folder-type wireless terminal is closed.

Method for displaying digital broadcasting channel information in wireless terminal

A method for displaying status information on a mobile terminal is provided. The method comprises the steps of when an event is generated in the mobile terminal, determining whether a function for displaying a character image has been set for the event; if the function has been set, processing the generated event, selecting a character image corresponding to the event in a character memory and displaying an event processing result together with the selected character image; and if the function has not been set, processing the generated event and displaying the event processing result.
