An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a memory storing identifiers for one or more external electronic devices defined as a group, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including receiving biometric information detected by an external biometric detection device via transmission from at least one external electronic device of the group, selecting from within the group a particular external electronic device based on the received biometric information and the information related to the particular external electronic device, and transmitting the received biometric information to the selected particular external electronic device.

Electronic device and method for managing body information by electronic device

A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a gesture through a first sensor module, acquiring first biometric information through a second sensor module in response to the gesture, determining whether a user's skin contacts the second sensor module based on the first biometric information, and acquiring second biometric information from the user's skin through the second sensor module according to a result of the determination.

Electronic device for measuring biometric information and method of operating same

A pairing method and an apparatus thereof for an ad-hoc connection in a wireless communication terminal are provided. In the method, an event duration that occurs according to user manipulation is measured. A pairing key is generated using the measured duration. A pairing procedure is performed with a counterpart terminal using the pairing key.

Pairing method and apparatus for ad-hoc connection in wireless communication terminal

An apparatus and method for extending a network are provided. The method includes registering, by a transmission-side remote access agent in a first network, a plurality of transmission channels for transmitting data; receiving, by the transmission-side remote access agent, event request messages each including access information regarding an apparatus from a plurality of apparatuses located in a transmission-side network; storing, by the transmission-side remote access agent, access information included in the received event request messages, which cannot be used in a registered channel of a reception-side network in a second network; and converting, by the transmission-side remote access agent, the event request message to be used in the registered transmission channels, and transmitting the converted event request message to the reception-side network different from the transmission-side network.

Apparatus and method for extending network area

A method and apparatus construct a widget environment. The method converts an application programming interface (API) into an API call in a Web service format in response to identifying that the API that is not executable in a current device is called. The method transmits the API call in the Web service format to a remote device in which the API is executable. The method receives a result obtained from the API call being executed in the Web service format in the remote device.

Method and apparatus for constructing a widget environment

An apparatus and method for extending a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) network are provided. The method includes, registering, by a transmission-side remote access agent, a plurality of transmission channels for transmitting data; storing, by the transmission-side remote access agent, when an event request message is received from at least one UPnP apparatus located in a transmission-side network, access information regarding at least one UPnP apparatus included in the event request message; and converting, by the transmission-side remote access agent, the event request message to an event request message, which can be used in the registered transmission channels, and transmitting the converted event request message to a reception-side network.

Apparatus and method for extending UPnP network area

An apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving emergency rescue signals are disclosed. In the apparatus and the method, when an emergency occurs, it is possible to provide a function capable of notifying a place at which such an emergency has occurred by means of a corresponding terminal. Accordingly, when a rescue request is accepted, a rescue center sends a rescue team to the general position of the terminal based on the GPS position information or the reporter's statement, and finds out an exact point for a corresponding terminal by means of a searching apparatus. Herein, the rescue team receives UWB signals received from the corresponding terminal of a victim at the already understood general position through the searching apparatus, and finds the victim's exact position.

Apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving an emergency rescue request using UWB signals

Disclosed herein is mobile communication terminal for performing a voice-text message conversion process that includes a memory, a voice data detecting unit, a voice-text converting unit, and a controlling unit. The memory stores condition information for the voice-text message conversion process. The memory includes a voice message area for storing voice messages and a text message area for storing text messages. The voice data detecting unit extracts a voice signal from a specific voice message. The voice-text converting unit converts the voice signal to a text message. The controlling unit determines whether the voice-text message conversion process is required for the specific message, based on the condition information, and stores the text message converted by the voice data detecting unit and the voice-text converting unit in the text message area.
