Provided is a method and apparatus for providing a three-dimensional (3D) polyhedral user interface. A first polyhedron may be formed of a plurality of blocks which are mapped with a plurality of pieces of information. A user may manipulate rotation of some of the blocks to generate a second polyhedron.

Method and apparatus for displaying a polyhedral user interface

Provided is a multimedia device that has a detachable controller. The detachable controller may attach to a main body of a multimedia device and act as a control panel of the main body. Further, the controller may be detached from the main body of multimedia device and act as a remote controller of the multimedia device.

Multimedia device having detachable controller functioning as remote control while detached

A game controller, a game machine, and a game system including the game system. The game controller is a device for manipulating a game program, and at least a portion of a body portion of the game controller is deformable to have forms that are adapted to contents of a game. Accordingly, a physical sensation when a user plays a game may be improved.

Game controller, game machine, and game system using the game controller

Provided is a multi-functional optical disc drive that includes an interface that connects a front-end of the optical drive to a back-end, and also connects the front-end of the optical drive to an external device. The optical drive also includes a controller that selectively controls connection to the back-end or the external device.

Optical disc drive and method of driving the same

Provided is an optical write device and method. The optical recording method includes generating a first signal including a preset write pulse power Pm in response to information to be written, generating a second signal including an over drive pulse power Po that is synchronized with the preset write pulse power Pm and which is at a higher level than the preset write pulse power Pm, and writing the information to an optical disc using a driving signal that is obtained by synthesizing the first and second signals.

Optical recording device and method

A game controller, a game machine, and a game system using the game controller is provided. The game controller manipulates a game program, and includes an energy harvesting unit to harvest motion of a user as energy when a game is played and an energy storing unit to store the energy harvested by using the energy harvesting unit.

Game controller and method for harvesting user energy expended while playing a game

An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical disc drive unit for recording/reproducing information with respect to a recording surface of an optical disc, a label printer module for printing a label on a label surface of the optical disc, and an optical disc support apparatus separated from the optical disc during recording/reproduction of the information, and supporting the optical disc to allow the label surface of the optical disc to be located at a printable position with respect to the label printer module during printing of the label.
