Disclosed are an electronic device for making a connection with an external electronic device and a method of operating the same. A method of operating a first electronic device includes acquiring virtual device information associated with a second electronic device and connection information between the second electronic device and one or more third electronic devices, which is generated based on the virtual device information, and making a connection with the one or more third electronic devices through short range wireless communication by using the virtual device information and the connection information.

Electronic device and connection method thereof

A method and apparatus for identifying an object from an image or context aware information and providing information about the identified object. The method includes identifying at least one object included in an image being displayed or to be displayed on a user device, obtaining relationship information of an identified object based on identification information of the identified object, and outputting the relationship information to at least one of the user device and a device of the identified object.

Method and apparatus for providing information about an identified object

A method for operating an electronic device is provided. In the method, an electronic cover is connected. Configuration information of the electronic cover is obtained. A User Interface (UI) corresponding to the configuration information is set. Various other embodiments are also possible.

Electronic device and operating method thereof

A method of collecting information of interest to a user regarding multimedia content is described. The method may include receiving first content about the information of interest to the user among the multimedia content, collecting metadata of the first content by using a uniform resource identifier (URI) of the first content, extracting at least one first information object including a schema according to a search category from the metadata, and storing the first information object in a first database.

Method and apparatus for collecting and providing information of interest to user regarding multimedia content

A method and apparatus for locating a mobile terminal by use of messages received to the mobile terminal are provided. The mobile terminal locating method may include creating at least one location related candidate for the mobile terminal by use of a message that is received to the mobile terminal, and determining a location of the mobile terminal by matching the created location related candidate to stored place information. The current location of the mobile terminal may be recognized by simply analyzing the received messages without the need for installation of additional device on the mobile terminal.

Method and apparatus for locating a mobile terminal using received messages

A method of providing viewing pattern information of a user terminal apparatus is provided. The method includes: transmitting content viewing information of the user terminal apparatus to a server; receiving information about a channel on which a content is broadcast among a plurality of channels that are on air, from the server; requesting viewing pattern information of the plurality of channels from the server; and receiving and displaying viewing pattern information, which is calculated based on a viewer rating acquired by aggregating the transmitted channel information, from the server.

Electrical contact device

A semantic-based searching apparatus and method which can search for desired information from various types of media using associative properties of search target objects are provided. The semantic-based searching apparatus stores an associative search structure that previously stores a semantic index. The associative search structure is to obtain a final search object corresponding to an input search query. The semantic index configuration includes feature metadata used to identify a specific object, semantic entity metadata to indicate semantic entities corresponding to the feature metadata, and semantic relation metadata to indicate a relation between the semantic entities. The semantic-based searching apparatus uses semantic metadata stored in conformity with the semantic index configuration, the semantic index, and the associative search structure to generate a search result corresponding to the input search query.

Apparatus and method for semantic-based search and semantic metadata providing server and method of operating the same

A method of generating relevant information related to multimedia content at a client that reproduces the multimedia content includes accessing a blog service connected to the client, selecting the first content of the multimedia content, for which relevant information is to be generated, by using the blog service, generating the relevant information using a template according to the type of the relevant information generated with respect to the first content, and transmitting the generated relevant information to a server.

Method and apparatus for generating and providing relevant information related to multimedia content

A method and apparatus for synchronizing feed information are provided. A podcasting client includes a synchronization-processing unit which synchronizes first feed information acquired from a connected device with pre-stored second feed information, and a communication interface which transmits feed information of content that is podcast based on the synchronized feed information to the connected device.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing feed information

A method and apparatus for synchronizing multimedia content with a client device which supports a multi-server environment are provided. The server includes a synchronization policy management unit which acquires a synchronization policy; a synchronization information collector which collects log information of a previously performed synchronization and of a change occurring after the previously performed synchronization; a synchronization processor which performs synchronization in accordance with the collected log information; a change log management unit which stores a result of the synchronization; an interface unit which transmits the log information; and a storage unit which stores the multimedia content and the meta data of the multimedia content. The method includes acquiring a synchronization policy; collecting log information of a previous synchronization; performing synchronization with the client based on the collected log information; storing a result of the synchronization in the log information.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing multimedia content with device which supports multi-server environment

Disclosed are the design and implementation of a CSI feedback channel in a multi-carrier wireless communication system. An apparatus and a method for channel state feedback using arithmetic coding are provided to ensure efficiency and reliability of a system by transmitting the CSI while compressing the CSI with a predetermined compression rate selected depending on a channel state. The apparatus for CSI feedback in a wireless communication system performing channel estimation at a transmitter or a receiver by using a communication channel includes a transmitter terminal transmitting a signal for CSI measurement by using the communication channel, and a receiver terminal receiving the signal from the transmitter terminal, checking a channel state based on the received signal, and transmitting the signal to the transmitter terminal after compressing the signal according to the channel state.
