Provided is a digital broadcasting conditional access system and method, including a digital broadcasting transmitter and a digital broadcasting receiver. The transmitter scrambles a broadcasting signal using a control key, generates broadcasting viewing restriction information and broadcasting viewing entitlement information, and transmits the scrambled broadcasting signal after incorporating the broadcasting viewing restriction information and broadcasting viewing entitlement information into the scrambled broadcasting signal. The receiver extracts the broadcasting viewing restriction information and the broadcasting viewing entitlement information included in the scrambled broadcasting signal to generate the control key, descrambles the broadcasting signal using the control key, and reproduces the descrambled broadcasting signal. Thus, the system and method can be provided for a digital broadcasting receiver including a smart card. Moreover, the digital broadcasting receiver can easily access to digital broadcasting using a Short Message Service (SMS) message and a smart card.

Digital broadcasting conditional access system and method

A mobile communication terminal for efficient digital broadcasting conditional access and a method of the mobile communication terminal. The mobile communication terminal includes a digital broadcasting receiver for receiving a scrambled digital broadcasting transport stream, a Subscriber Identify Module (SIM) card unit for generating a decoding key for descrambling the scrambled digital broadcasting transport stream, a multimedia unit for extracting from the scrambled digital broadcasting transport stream broadcasting viewing restriction information and broadcasting viewing entitlement information and descrambling the scrambled digital broadcasting transport stream using the decoding key generated by the smart card unit, and a controller for transmitting to the smart card unit the broadcasting viewing restriction information and broadcasting viewing entitlement information extracted by the multimedia unit in a digital broadcasting reception mode to control the smart card unit to generate the decoding key and transmitting the decoding key generated by the smart card unit to the multimedia unit.

An apparatus and method for a navigation system including an information center and a mobile terminal is disclosed. The information center stores node image information on topographic features of a node. The node image information includes partial image information according to a direction of movement of the mobile terminal. The information center includes a database for storing a node message having the partial image information and a database for storing map data. The information center generates the node message for guiding the next node point whenever the mobile terminal reaches a node point, and transmits partial image information of the node image information corresponding to the direction of movement of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal displays the image information of the node received at each node point and confirms a movement path.

Apparatus and method for downloading and displaying images relating to global positioning information in a navigation system

An apparatus and image reconstruction method for use in an apparatus including a digital camera are provided. The apparatus and method include driving an image sensor during a short exposure time in an image reconstruction mode, driving the image sensor during a relatively-long exposure time in the image reconstruction mode, and acquiring first and second frame images having different illumination degrees; assigning substantially identical image data of the first and second frame images to local images each having a predetermined size; calculating local variance values of image data of each of the local areas; comparing a local variance value of the first frame image with a local variance value of the second frame images, assigning a high weight to one local image having a high local variance value, and assigning a low weight to the other local image having a low local variance value; applying the determined weights to image data of individual local areas of the first and second frame images, performing image reconstruction, and displaying a reconstructed image.

Apparatus and method for improving the quality of a picture having a high illumination difference

A system and method of displaying position information including an image in a navigation system are disclosed. The navigation system has an information center and a mobile terminal. The information center includes a database for storing a node message with node image information about the geographical features of a node and a database for storing map data. The node image information is divided into image segments corresponding to directions. The information center sets a route according to a current position and a destination of the mobile terminal, generates map data including the route and nodes in the route, and transmits it to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal selects nodes for which to receive node messages in the map data. The information center transmits a node message for the next node each time the mobile terminal reaches each of the selected nodes. The mobile terminal reproduces the node message.

An apparatus provides a multimedia service in a mobile terminal. A main controller controls a call setup operation between the mobile terminal and a base station. A codec codes an audio signal output from a microphone and decodes a received audio signal. A display outputs image data, and a display driver drives the display. An image processor buffers information received from the main controller and a multimedia service processor, converts the buffered information according to an output mode of the display and provides the converted information to the display driver. The multimedia service processor performs, at a multimedia service request, accesses the corresponding server and sends a data request to the server, outputs received image data through the image processor, outputs received menu and character information data to the main controller, and outputs received audio data through the codec.

Apparatus and method for providing multimedia service in a mobile terminal

A system and method for providing an E-mail service through a portable terminal with a wireless Internet access function. A multimedia server receives a multimedia E-mail including multimedia data and E-mail data to be transmitted to the portable terminal, stores the multimedia data in an internal local memory, and adds URL information as a predetermined format string to the E-mail content. An E-mail server receives the E-mail from the multimedia server and notifies the receiving portable terminal of the arrival of the E-mail. The portable terminal receives the E-mail from the E-mail server, parses the E-mail content, and displays the E-mail content with multimedia link information if the predetermined format string is confirmed.
