20140168124 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING HAPTIC FEEDBACK OF AN INPUT TOOL FOR A MOBILE TERMINAL - An apparatus and method are provided for controlling haptic feedback of an input tool for a mobile terminal. The method includes detecting, by the mobile terminal, a hovering of the input tool over an object displayed on a touch screen display of the mobile terminal; identifying a property of the object; and transmitting, to the input tool, a control signal for haptic feedback corresponding to the property of the object. | 06-19-2014 |
20140198068 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING HAPTIC EFFECT IN PORTABLE TERMINAL, MACHINE-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PORTABLE TERMINAL - A portable terminal and a method for providing a haptic effect in the portable terminal are provided. The method includes displaying an application on a touch screen, detecting a touch in a haptic providing region set by a user, and providing a haptic effect corresponding to the haptic providing region in response to the detected touch. | 07-17-2014 |
20140198069 | PORTABLE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING HAPTIC EFFECT TO INPUT UNIT - A portable terminal and a method for providing a haptic effect to an input unit are provided. The method includes displaying at least one object on a touch screen, detecting a touch input by the input unit with respect to the object displayed on the touch screen, determining a preset mode based on the detected touch input of the input unit, and transmitting a control signal corresponding to a predetermined haptic pattern based on the preset mode to the input unit. | 07-17-2014 |
20140210756 | MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HAPTIC FEEDBACK - Methods and a mobile terminal for providing visual and haptic feedback are provided. At least one first touch made to an object displayed on a touch screen is detected. The object is transformed and displayed in response to movement of the first touch. At least one second touch made to the displayed object is detected. Visual feedback is displayed on the touch screen in response to the second touch, and haptic feedback corresponding to a predetermined haptic pattern is output using a vibration motor. | 07-31-2014 |
20140210758 | MOBILE TERMINAL FOR GENERATING HAPTIC PATTERN AND METHOD THEREFOR - Provided are a portable terminal that generates a haptic pattern and a method thereof. The method includes displaying a menu on a touch screen, receiving an input for generating a haptic pattern through the displayed menu, detecting, using a sensor module, a haptic input provided through the portable terminal, and generating the haptic pattern based on the provided haptic input. | 07-31-2014 |
20140245139 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING HAPTIC FEEDBACK TO INPUT UNIT - Methods and apparatus for providing feedback in a portable apparatus are provided. An object is displayed on a touch screen of the portable apparatus. A first touch, from an input unit, is detected at a position on the touch screen corresponding to the displayed object. The object is selected in response to the first touch. A copy command by which the selected object is copied to a copy target is received from the input unit. A first control command corresponding to haptic feedback determined in response to the received copy command is transmitted from the portable apparatus to the input unit. | 08-28-2014 |
20140285453 | PORTABLE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING HAPTIC EFFECT - Methods and apparatus are provided for providing a haptic effect by a portable terminal and an input device. A writing application is displayed on a touch screen of the portable terminal. A selection for a type of pen used for writing in the displayed writing application and a selection for a background material on which the writing is performed are received using the selected type of pen. A haptic pattern of the selected type of pen and a haptic pattern of the background material are combined. Haptic feedback is output based on a combined haptic pattern of the selected type of pen and the background material. A control signal having the haptic feedback is received at the input unit that controls a vibration of a vibration device of the input unit. The received control signal is analyzed to control the vibration of the vibration device. | 09-25-2014 |
20140287728 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING STATE INFORMATION - Methods and apparatus are provided for providing state information of a digital apparatus. State information for a user of the digital apparatus is determined based on the user's intention to perform communication. The state information is transmitted to a server. A display request for a contact list is received. A screen having a plurality of user items is displayed. Each of the plurality of user items corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of users in the contact list. At least one of the plurality of user items includes identification information of a user corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of user items, state information of the corresponding user that is received from the server, and at least one category indicator representing at least one recommended communication service category determined based on the state information of the corresponding user. | 09-25-2014 |
20140310337 | TERMINAL APPARATUS, SERVER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A terminal apparatus provides shared profile information that is selectively received from a server based on a relationship between a first user and a second user, according to whether information of the second user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the first user as local profile information and information of the first user is stored in the terminal apparatus of the second user as the local profile information. Accordingly, a phonebook service for desired profile information is provided only for users in a buddy relationship sharing contact information with each other. | 10-16-2014 |
20140359493 | METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MIRRORING SCREEN DATA - An electronic device and method of mirroring screen data is disclosed. The method includes communicatively coupling with an external display device, mirroring screen data displayed on a display of the electronic device by transmitting the screen data to the external display device for display, and in response to detection of a preset event, removing a subset of the screen data associated with the preset event, so that the subset is not displayed on the external display device. | 12-04-2014 |
