A method for inputting text in a mobile terminal having a touch screen is provided. When detecting a touch-down, the mobile terminal displays a character of the touch-down point and nearby characters in an enlarged size and indicates the character of the touch-down point in the enlarged display. When a drag event occurs before a touch-up event, the mobile terminal determines the dragging distance and direction, changes the touch-down point to a new location according to the dragging distance and direction, and indicates another character at the new location. When a touch-up event occurs at the new location, the mobile terminal then inputs the other character indicated at the new location.

Text input method and mobile terminal therefor

A pre-scanning apparatus and process using a shuttle scanning system by inserting a document into a sheet carrier of transparent material; pre-scanning the sheet carrier holding the document; and feeding the sheet carrier back. In addition, a pre-scanning method for a shuttle scanning system includes the steps of forwarding a document in response to an applied scanning signal and pre-scanning the document by a low resolution; discharging the document via a feed roller after pre-scanning; re-inserting the discharged document into a paper feeding part; and transferring and scanning the document re-inserted into the paper feeding part.

Pre-scanning method and apparatus for shuttle scanning system

A flat bed scanner apparatus for scanning sheets with a stacked-sheet feeder and a flat bed cover separated from one another. The flat bed scanner apparatus includes a flat bed and a flat bed cover to be used for scanning an individual sheet, a stacked-sheet feeder separate from the flat bed cover for feeding a plurality of sheets seriatim, and a scanning module installed inside the flat bed scanner apparatus, for selectively scanning a sheet on the flat bed and a sheet from the stacked-sheet feeder by varying an optical path of light illuminating the sheets.

Flat bed scanner apparatus

A device for uncurling thermal sensitive recording paper includes a paper container having first and second arcuate portions that are rotatably connected to form a cylindrical body. The paper container accommodates installation of a roll of the thermal sensitive recording paper. A projection is formed on a first end of the first arcuate portion for engaging and applying a predetermined pressure upon the thermal sensitive recording paper. A groove is formed between the projection and a first end of the second arcuate portion to provide a path through which the thermal sensitive recording paper travels. A locking member is positioned at the first end of the first arcuate portion and provides a slot to accommodate the connection between the first and second arcuate portions. A pole extends outwardly from the first end of the second arcuate portion and is inserted into the slot to establish the connection between the first and second arcuate portions. A hinge rotatably connects second ends of the first and second arcuate portions, respectively. The second ends are positioned respectively opposite the first ends. A thermal printing head is positioned adjacent to the paper container for generating an image on the thermal sensitive recording paper as the thermal sensitive recording paper is withdrawn from the paper container. A platen roller is formed on a first side of the thermal printing head for withdrawing the thermal sensitive recording paper from the paper container.
