Methods and apparatus are provided for obtaining a service is provided. Information about an external device is received at a terminal from the external device. It is determined whether the external device has been registered based on the information about the external device. Service information associated with the external device is provided when at least the external device has been registered.

Methods and apparatus for obtaining a service

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

Provided are method and apparatus for writing and reproducing a multimedia service using a tag in order to provide an intuitive interface for a user using a multimedia service. The method includes selecting a multimedia service to be written; generating tag information identifying the selected multimedia service; and writing the generated tag information to a tag. Accordingly, multimedia service information and content information can be stored in a tag by being written to tag information using a common format, and thus the user can later execute a service operation by easily writing information of a desired service operation to a tag and then simply connecting the tag to a tag reading device.

Method of writing and reproducing multimedia service by using tag and apparatus therefor

A method of controlling at least one controlled device at an external device outside a network including a control device and the controlled device is provided. The method includes transmitting a message accepting a control request requesting to control the controlled device in a session established with the control device; receiving and displaying an identifier for identifying the controlled device; and selectively controlling the controlled device via the control device based on an input generated using the displayed identifier.

Method and apparatus for controlling controlled device included in network

A method and device for performing a service. The method includes detecting whether a user terminal device approaches an approach recognition area, receiving identifier information from the user terminal device, when it is detected that the user terminal device approaches the approach recognition area, obtaining user information based on the identifier information, and displaying a personalized area based on the user information.

Method for providing user interface for each user, method for performing service, and device applying the same

Methods and apparatus are provided for generating a content of a display apparatus. The method includes receiving a user touch on the display apparatus; detecting an area on the display apparatus corresponding to the received user touch; and inserting and displaying an object into the detected area, wherein the inserting and displaying the object further comprises, in response to a command for inserting an object on the detected area included in the displayed user touch which is input by a user, displaying a list of a plurality of objects to be inserted.

Method for generating digital content by combining photographs and text messages

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

Methods and apparatus are provided for generating a content of a display apparatus. A user touch is received. An area corresponding to the received user touch is detected. A object is inserted and displayed into the detected area.

Provided are a display apparatus and method for recognizing locations. The display apparatus recognizes a location, and communicates with an external device having a tag reader. The display apparatus includes a display unit; a plurality of tags disposed on the display unit, each tag having a different identification (ID); a location information storage unit in which location information of each tag is stored; and a control unit which determines a location of the external device by comparing the ID with the location information stored in the location information storage unit, if the tag ID recognized by the external device is received from the external device.

Display apparatus and method for recognizing location

An external device identification method in a device including a touch spot, an apparatus, and a recording medium are provided. The external device identification method includes generating a first micro-current signal that is induced when the touch spot is touched by a human being and includes device information about the device including the touch spot, propagating the first micro-current signal to an external device via a human being, receiving a second micro-current signal including device information about the external device from the external device via the human being, detecting the device information about the external device from the second micro-current signal, identifying the external device by using the device information about the external device, and connecting the device including the touch spot to the external device through a communication channel.

External device identification method and apparatus in a device including a touch spot, and computer-readable recording mediums having recorded thereon programs for executing the external device identification method in a device including a touch spot

An update management method and apparatus therefor are provided, the update management method including the operations of storing one or more pieces of update information related to at least one channel from a plurality of channels in a storage unit of a user terminal; and displaying the one or more pieces of update information in the related at least one channel.

Method and apparatus for managing update information in channel

Disclosed herein are a method and device for providing a user interface that displays an icon indicating that a user has approached, if the user approaches an approach recognition area, and displays a personalized area allocated to the user, if a manipulation to select the icon is input. Accordingly, the user uses the device simply by approaching the device without going through an extra log-in process, so that the user can use the device more easily.
