20110002695 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DATA USING VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION - Provided is an apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving data in a visible light communication system, the apparatus including a visible light communication (VLC) transceiver for converting a visible light signal received from a counterpart into an electrical signal and outputting the electrical signal, by using a light receiving device during a reception operation, and converting an electrical signal containing information into a visible light signal and transmitting the visible light signal to the counterpart, by using a light emitting device during a transmission operation, a VLC controller comprising a visible frame engine (VFE) for generating a visible frame and outputting the visible frame to the VLC transceiver, in which the VFE generates the visible frame for transmission to a counterpart during non-transmission of respective frames for communication at a sender and a receiver in order to provide visibility to a communication link, and a host controller for controlling the VLC controller and transmitting and receiving data to and from the VLC controller. | 01-06-2011 |
20120271839 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR DATA TRANSMISSION BASED ON DLNA NETWORK - The present invention relates to a method, apparatus, and system for data transmission based on a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) network that classifies contents files which are stored in a DMS according to a support of the DLNA network to make a contents list. Support is provided to convert a file attribute of a selected file into a file attribute which can be applied to the DLNA network to generate, in case a user selects a non-supported file which is not applied to the DLNA network. The invention outputs the selected file to a display unit, captures the outputted image to convert into a file which can be applied to the DLNA network. | 10-25-2012 |
20130002808 | METHOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PANORAMIC IMAGE WHEN THRESHOLD EXCEEDS COMPARISON BETWEEN CURRENT AND PREVIOUS IMAGES - Disclosed is a method for photographing a panoramic image including the steps of recognizing movement of a corresponding photographing apparatus by comparing a current real-time input image with a previous image through a motion estimation mechanism with exposure compensation, determining a time to photograph each next picture by determining whether movement in a photography direction reaches a preset threshold value, and photographing each next picture by manual or automatic operation at the determined time. | 01-03-2013 |
20130033568 | METHOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHING PANORAMIC PICTURE - A method for photographing a panoramic picture includes the steps of checking motion of a corresponding photographing apparatus compares currently input images and previous images in real time through a motion estimation technique employing exposure compensation. Respective images constituting a panoramic picture are photographed, and image photography information is checked that includes focus distance and optical magnification to calculate actual photography range distance of the images. A pre-set threshold is set in consideration of a calculated actual photography range distance of the images. The checked motion is confirmed as to whether the pre-set threshold has been reached, and photography time points of the respective images are determined. The respective images are photographed according to a manual mode or an automatic mode at the photography time point of the respective images. | 02-07-2013 |
20130044915 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING CHARACTERS - A method and an apparatus for recognizing characters using an image are provided. A camera is activated according to a character recognition request and a preview mode is set for displaying an image photographed through the camera in real time. An auto focus of the camera is controlled and an image having a predetermined level of clarity is obtained for character recognition from the images obtained in the preview mode. The image for character recognition is character-recognition-processed so as to extract recognition result data. A final recognition character row is drawn that excludes non-character data from the recognition result data. A first word is combined including at least one character of the final recognition character row and a predetermined maximum number of characters. A dictionary database that stores dictionary information on various languages using the first word is searched, so as to provide the user with the corresponding word. | 02-21-2013 |
20130133018 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA TRANSMISSION IN DLNA NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for data transmission in a DLNA network environment are disclosed. The data transmission system includes a content creation unit creating at least one content, a content correlation check unit checking a created content to classify the created content by category and a conversion content creation unit extracting header information and body information of the classified content and converting the extracted information into preset type information. | 05-23-2013 |
20140003726 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING CHARACTERS | 01-02-2014 |
20140055643 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING CHARACTERS USING A CAMERA - A method is provided for recognizing characters of an image captured using a camera in a mobile terminal. The camera captures an image of a signboard. A text area is extracted from the captured image. Characters are recognized from the extracted text area. At least one text is generated by combining the recognized characters. The at least one text is compared with at least one store name within a predetermined range. A comparison result is output. | 02-27-2014 |
20140218611 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AN ENLARGED TARGET REGION OF A REPRODUCED IMAGE - An apparatus and a method for selecting and displaying a particular region in a displayed image. A user selects a target region in an image displayed on an image reproduction apparatus, an image of the selected target region is enlarged and displayed in a window, which the user can adjust a generation position, a size, a zoom magnification, and a resolution thereof The image reproduction apparatus tracks a target object in the target region, and enables the user to continuously view the target object in the window. | 08-07-2014 |
20140240580 | METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DISPLAYING PORTRAIT ON DISPLAY - A method and an apparatus are provided for displaying a portrait on a display by a portable terminal. It is determined whether an image is a character-photographed image. If the image is the character-photographed image, face detection is executed from the image. A character area in the image is set based on a result of the face detection. The character area is enlarged and displayed in a form of a new window. | 08-28-2014 |
20140361984 | VISIBILITY IMPROVEMENT METHOD BASED ON EYE TRACKING, MACHINE-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A visibility improvement method using gaze tracking includes detecting a gaze of a user using a camera; determining a focus object at which the user gazes from among at least one object viewed through a display unit of an electronic device; and displaying, on the display unit, an image with high visibility that corresponds to the focus object and has higher visibility than the focus object. | 12-11-2014 |
