20110304584 | TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL METHOD AND TOUCH SCREEN DEVICE USING THE SAME - Provided are a touch screen control method and a touch screen device using the same. The touch screen control method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: generating a mark on a virtual touch position, which corresponds to the touch position of a user according to the touch event conditions of the user; and moving the virtual touch position in response to the touch position movements of the user, thereby performing at least one of the commands below. i) a first command according to the distance change between the user touch position and the virtual touch position or ii) a second command different from the first command, which is executed depending on the change of rotation angle of a user touch. A touch panel input method of the present invention and an apparatus thereof efficiently perform enlargement, reduction, rotation, and the like using only one hand by setting an additional mode which is not a general object movement mode. | 12-15-2011 |
20120151401 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TOUCH SCREEN USING TIMELINE BAR, RECORDING MEDIUM WITH PROGRAM FOR THE SAME RECORDED THEREIN, AND USER TERMINAL HAVING THE SAME - A method for controlling a touch screen using a timeline bar is provided. The method includes detecting a first dragging that starts from a bar on a timeline, zooming in the timeline according to a distance between the timeline and a final touch point of the first dragging, and shifting the bar on the zoomed-in timeline by a second dragging. Thus, it is possible to more precisely control the content even on a small touch screen just like on a large touch screen. In addition, the timeline blockage caused by the finger tip may be prevented, so the user may control the content more intuitively in the desired level. | 06-14-2012 |
20120218189 | METHOD AND MEDIUM FOR INPUTTING KOREAN CHARACTERS USING A TOUCH SCREEN - A method for inputting a Korean character using a touch screen of a mobile device determines a vowel as a neutral vowel according to multi-touches centered around a consonant input key displayed on the touch screen. The method can minimize the number of character input keys arranged on the touch screen utilized in the mobile device, and can combine the Korean characters through the minimal touch action for inputting the Korean character. | 08-30-2012 |
20120274573 | KOREAN INPUT METHOD AND APPARATUS USING TOUCH SCREEN, AND PORTABLE TERMINAL INCLUDING KEY INPUT APPARATUS - An apparatus and method for inputting Korean characters are provided. The method includes determining an initial consonant by making a first touch of a consonant input key displayed on a touch screen and determining a vowel by making a second touch while maintaining the first touch and making a dragging gesture continuing from the second touch. The method of inputting Korean characters provides a Korean input scheme that effectively uses a multi-touch feature capable of recognizing simultaneous touches on two or more points. | 11-01-2012 |
20120306925 | TIMELINE-BASED CONTENT CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS USING DYNAMIC DISTORTION OF TIMELINE BAR, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VIDEO AND AUDIO CLIPS USING THE SAME - A method and apparatus for controlling content based on a timeline in a timeline-based content control apparatus with a touch screen. The method includes generating and displaying a linear timeline bar on the touch screen regardless of the size of content; detecting contact on the timeline bar; nonlinearly distorting a predetermined section of the timeline bar being displayed around the touch-detected position on the timeline bar; and performing a fine search and shifting the distorted section depending on a direction of the user's touch. | 12-06-2012 |
20120308204 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A DISPLAY OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT USING A TIMELINE-BASED INTERFACE - A touch screen control method for controlling a playback of multimedia content using a timeline-based interface includes detecting a selection at a specific location on the timeline; and selectively zoom-displaying an area around the location where the selection is detected the position on the timeline where the event trigger has occurred. | 12-06-2012 |
20130021260 | METHOD FOR INPUTTING KOREAN CHARACTER ON TOUCH SCREEN - A method for inputting a Korean character by using a touch screen is provided. The method includes detecting touch points of a first touch and a second touch on the touch screen, displaying a consonant of a consonant input key corresponding to a center point of the detected touch points on the touch screen, and releasing the first touch and the second touch and inputting the displayed consonant as an initial sound. The method can minimize the number of character input keys arranged on the touch screen used in the portable terminal and combine the Korean character with the minimal touch action for inputting the Korean character, so that it is possible to simplify the input action for the Korean character input, thereby curtailing an input time for inputting the Korean character and effectively utilizing a limited touch screen region. | 01-24-2013 |
20130083940 | Bone Conduction Earphone, Headphone and Operation Method of Media Device Using the Same - Provided are a bone conduction-based earphone, a bone conduction-based headphone and a method for operating a medium device using the same. | 04-04-2013 |
20130271383 | KOREAN CHARACTER INPUT APPARATUS AND METHOD USING TOUCH SCREEN - A Korean character input apparatus using a touch screen is provided. The apparatus includes an input window comprising a consonant input key, a “ | 10-17-2013 |
20140078041 | TRANSMITTANCE BASED SENSOR - A device may include an image sensor configured to capture an image of an object in front of the image sensor, an image analyzer configured to analyze the captured image to calculate a transmittance of a light that is transmitted from outside of the object to the image sensor via the object, a command mapper configured to translate the transmittance into a command, and an executor configured to execute the command. | 03-20-2014 |
20140078110 | SENSING APPARATUS FOR USER TERMINAL USING CAMERA, SENSING METHOD FOR THE SAME AND CONTROLLING METHOD FOR THE SAME - Provided is a sensing apparatus for a user terminal including a camera, including: an image analyzing unit analyzing an image variable of an object taken by the camera; and a touch determining unit determining whether the object touches the user terminal and an intensity of the touch according to the image variable analyzed by the image analyzing unit. According to the present disclosure, without adding additional hardware devices or changing hardware devices, the touch pressure, rotational angle, and the like of the object regarding the user terminal may be sensed by using the camera already provided in the user terminal. | 03-20-2014 |
