20110294517 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING ZONE IN PORTABLE TERMINAL - An apparatus and method for recognizing an indoor zone in which a user is located by using an Earth's magnetic field that is generated naturally instead of the conventional method of combining a magnetic field generator and a magnetic field sensor. The apparatus includes a zone evaluator configured to primarily recognize a location of the portable terminal by using first and second components of an Earth's magnetic field and to finally recognize the location of the portable terminal by using first and second images. | 12-01-2011 |
20120120266 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND CONNECTING COUNTERPART DEVICE BY CAPTURING IMAGE OF COUNTERPART DEVICE IN WIRELESS DEVICE - An apparatus and a method detect and connect a counterpart device by capturing an image of the counterpart device in a wireless device. A Relative Distance Value (RDV) between the wireless device and the counterpart device is determined via image capture using a camera. The counterpart device is identified using the determined RDV. | 05-17-2012 |
20120198098 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BIDIRECTIONAL PAIRING BETWEEN DEVICES - An apparatus and a method support bidirectional pairing between devices. A connectable peripheral device is discovered. A list of discovered connectable peripheral devices is displayed. When a peripheral device is selected from the displayed list of the discovered connectable peripheral devices, an indicator operation request message for operating an indicator of the selected peripheral device is generated and transmitted to the selected device. The selected peripheral device operates the indicator according to the indicator operation request message to indicate a connection request from the device. | 08-02-2012 |
20130058310 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SETTING CHANNEL IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A method and apparatus are configured for setting up a channel in a wireless network. The method includes receiving a signal comprising channel information that at least one neighbor AP is using, from the at least one neighbor AP and, setting up the channel of the AP based on the channel information that the at least one neighbor AP is using. | 03-07-2013 |
20130073817 | TERMINAL CAPABLE OF EXTENDING STORAGE SPACE AND METHOD EXTENDING STORAGE SPACE THEREOF - A terminal and a method extend a storage space. The terminal includes a contents receiver, an interface, an external memory measure unit, a store determining unit, and a transmission controller. The contents receiver receives contents via a network. The interface accesses at least one external memory. The external memory measure unit measures at least one of a speed of the interface, an available capacity and a use history of the external memory accessed via the interface. The store determining unit determines whether to store the contents in the external memory based on a value measured by the external memory measure unit. The transmission controller controls to transmit the contents to the external memory via the interface when it is determined that the contents are stored in the external memory. | 03-21-2013 |
20130198283 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROL POINT FOR DEVICE DISCOVERY - An operating method of a control point includes setting a Maximum time for waits (MX) value for device discovery. The method also includes transmitting a message that includes the set MX value to at least one device connected with the control point. The method further includes receiving a response message in response to a Method for Search Request (M-SEARCH) message from the at least one device. | 08-01-2013 |
20140178028 | TERMINAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THEREOF - A terminal device is provided. The terminal device includes a multimedia part configured to play back a content, a communicator configured to perform communication, a short-range wireless communication module configured to share communication connection information with an external device, and when tagged with the external device while a content is played back, a controller configured to control the communicator to be connected to the external device according to the communication connection information and transmit a synchronization signal and the played back content. Accordingly, the terminal device shares a synchronized content with an external device using a User Interface (UI) for controlling a plurality of external devices. | 06-26-2014 |
20140269757 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOWING PLAYBACK DEVICES TO PERFORM SYNCHRONIZED PLAYBACK OF STREAMING CONTENT - An apparatus and method for allowing a plurality of playback devices to stream content of a master device simultaneously is provided. When the master device selects one of the playback devices as a reference device and multicasts a synchronization packet to the playback devices, the playback devices determine a synchronization time by comparing their own synchronization packet reception time with a synchronization packet reception time of the reference device. When the master device streams content, into which a time stamp is inserted based on the time of the reference device, the playback devices play the content based on the determined synchronization time. Therefore, even when the playback devices have different network latencies from the master device, the playback devices may accurately perform synchronized content playback. | 09-18-2014 |
20150063092 | METHOD OF RECEIVING OR TRANSMITTING A PACKET, TERMINAL THEREOF, AND SYSTEM THEREOF - A method of receiving a packet by a receiving terminal is provided. The method includes receiving one or more packets including information about an event which belongs to a same kind of event from a transmitting terminal, and selecting at least one packet from among the received one or more packets based on time information of a certain point of time at the certain point of time. | 03-05-2015 |
20150071061 | METHOD FOR DATA TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS NETWORK ENVIRONMENT AND DATA TRANSMITTER - A method of transmitting data via a data transmitting device in a wireless network environment is provided. The method includes determining whether traffic is saturated or not based on an access category (AC) into which the data is classified according to a type of application that transmits the data, a queue size, and a predetermined threshold value and determining a transmission scheme according to a determination result of whether traffic is saturated or not and the AC of the data. | 03-12-2015 |
