An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting a text message in a wireless terminal. The apparatus and method include displaying data input when creating a text message and analyzing the data in order to check whether the data are character display instruction words. Character image information corresponding to the character display instruction words is searched. The character image information is added to the display instruction words, and the display instruction words having the character image information are added to the text message. Character data are added to the text message if the data are general character data. The above steps are repeated and recipient information for the character text message is input when the character text message has been created. The created character text message is then transmitted.

Disclosed herein is a device and method for demultiplexing in a digital broadcasting receiver for processing packet data configured by a packet header and a payload. A buffer buffers input packet data. Processors are parallel connected to the buffer. A packet header processor checks a packet header, identifies the presence of adaptation information, and generates a control signal according to the presence of the adaptation information. An adaptation information processor processes the adaptation information of buffered payload data under control of the packet header processor. A Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) header processor processes a PES header of the buffered payload data under the control of the packet header processor. A data processor generates an audio or video Elementary Stream (ES) from audio or video data of the buffered payload data under control of the PES header processor, and outputs the generated audio or video ES to an associated decoder.

An apparatus and method for processing a data backup service of a mobile terminal. The apparatus and method backs-up data files stored in a mobile terminal in a backup server over a wireless Internet. The backup server is capable of backing-up resource information of the mobile terminal. The apparatus and method comprise a) checking setup backup resources during a backup setup procedure, and attempting to establish a connection to the backup server; b) analyzing category information of data to be transmitted to the backup server after connecting to the backup server, determining the number of references if the data category is equal to data including iterative information, and determining a division interval on the basis of a file size and performing data synchronization if the data category is equal to data including binary data. The apparatus and method further comprise c) separately storing the synchronization data serving as the iterative information and combining the separately-stored results when the synchronization data is determined to be iterative information, or divisionally storing the synchronization data, combining the divisionally-stored results, and transmitting the combined result when the synchronization data is determined to be divisionally-designated data; and d) terminating a backup operation of the mobile terminal when the backup server generates a response signal after the data is transmitted to the backup server.

A method for displaying status information on a mobile terminal is provided. The method comprises the steps of when an event is generated in the mobile terminal, determining whether a function for displaying a character image has been set for the event; if the function has been set, processing the generated event, selecting a character image corresponding to the event in a character memory and displaying an event processing result together with the selected character image; and if the function has not been set, processing the generated event and displaying the event processing result.

Method for displaying status information on a mobile terminal

A decoding device and a decoding method in a digital broadcast receiver are provided, in which received packet data is demultiplexed into video data and audio data, and decoding control signals of the respective data are extracted. An Estimated Program Clock Reference (EPCR) is generated from the decoding control signal of the audio data, and the EPCR is compared with the decoding control signal of the video data to generate a video decoding control signal. The demultiplexed video data is decoded in synchronous with the video decoding control signal, and then the decoded video data is outputted. The demultiplexed audio data is decoded in synchronous with the audio decoding control signal, and then the decoded audio data is outputted. Finally, the decoded video data and the decoded audio data are displayed and reproduced.
