A portable terminal is configured to recognize an image such as a hand shape. The portable terminal includes a motion detection unit that includes a trainer capable of generating uniform training image data to collectively generate a plurality of images of a desired region obtained from an original image in an identical posture and an identical size, and performing a training process to prevent a feature point from being generated in a portion where detection is unnecessary in the generated training image data, and a detector capable of detecting a rotated object from input data, after the training process.

Apparatus and method for recognizing hand shape in portable terminal

According to certain embodiments, a method and apparatus for preventing incorrect input in a portable terminal includes identifying an input character string and, among previously registered candidate words, searching among a plurality of candidate words recommended for the input character string, calculating a similarity between the input character string and each of the searched candidate words, and presenting one or more of the searched candidate words in order of descending similarity associated with the one or more searched candidate words.

Provided are an apparatus and method for reporting speech recognition failures. The method includes detecting pure speech data from input speech data and outputting the detected pure speech data; checking at least one speech recognition failure for the pure speech data; and ascertaining speech recognition failure reasons from a check-result for the speech recognition failures and outputting the ascertained speech recognition failure reasons.

An apparatus and method summarize a user's daily life information. The apparatus includes an information collection unit, an analysis unit, a story generator, and a display unit. The information collection unit collects log information including user's daily life information, from at least one electronic device. The analysis unit analyzes the log information collected from the information collection unit and decides at least one topic representing the user's daily life information. The story generator generates at least one sentence representing the user's daily life information using the at least one topic decided in the analysis unit. The display unit displays the at least one sentence generated in the story generator.

Apparatus and method for generating story according to user information

A mobile communication system process a query of a location-based service. More particularly, an apparatus and a method reduce communication processes for an unnecessary query by expanding a resident domain with a query type. The apparatus includes a server for expanding a resident domain comprising a query to be operated by the moving object when the location-based service is used and the moving object for reducing the number of communications with the server according to the expansion of the resident domain.

Apparatus and method for query processing of moving object in mobile communication system

An apparatus and method can effectively detect both hands and hand shape of a user from images input through cameras. A skin image detecting skin regions from one of the input images and a stereoscopic distance image are used. For hand detection, background and noise are eliminated from a combined image of the skin image and the distance image and regions corresponding to actual both hands are detected from effective images having a high probability of hands. For hand shape detection, a non-skin region is eliminated from the skin image based on the stereoscopic distance information, hand shape candidate regions are detected from the remaining region after elimination, and finally a hand shape is determined.

A method and apparatus controls an output level of a voice signal for video telephony by considering the distance between a user and a terminal and surrounding noises. An input image signal and an input voice signal of the user to be used for the video telephony are received at the user's terminal. A received image signal and a received voice signal received from the other party's terminal to which the video telephony is connected, are output on the user's terminal. The user's face region included in the input image signal is extracted. A size information of the extracted face region is checked. A distance information about a distance from the user is checked using the size information. And an output level of the received voice signal is controlled based on the distance information.

Method and apparatus for controlling output level of voice signal during video telephony

A face recognition system based on adaptive learning includes a specific person detection and tracking unit for detecting and tracking a specific person from a moving image. A facial feature extraction unit extracts a plurality of facial feature vectors from the detected and tracked specific person. A face recognition unit searches for a given registration model by comparing the extracted facial feature vectors with facial feature vectors of the registration models previously stored in a user registration model database. A learning target selection unit selects a facial feature vector to be added to a record of the given registration model from among the extracted facial feature vectors. A registration model learning unit adds and updates the selected facial feature vector to the record of the given registration model.

Face recognition system and method based on adaptive learning

Provided is a system and method for controlling voice detection of a network terminal. The system includes the network terminal for, if detection of a voice signal is requested, detecting voice by receiving and setting a voice detection setting value corresponding to a predetermined service and generating a trigger signal for the voice detection according to the voice detection setting value corresponding to the service; and a server for determining the service of the network terminal and transmitting the voice detection setting value corresponding to the service to the network terminal. Accordingly, by controlling to commence voice detection according to a service, voice detection optimized to a relevant service can commence.
