20140136411 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PAYMENT FUNCTION OF INPUT MEANS - An electronic device and a method for controlling a payment function of an input means are provided. The operating method of the electronic device includes receiving a packet periodically transmitted from an input means, determining a distance from the electronic device to the input means based on determining a signal reception strength of the packet, extracting a distance value from storage associated with a matching reception strength and sending to the input means a signal according to the extracted distance value of the input means and the received packet. | 05-15-2014 |
20140317542 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF EXECUTING PLURAL OBJECTS DISPLAYED ON A SCREEN OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR RECORDING THE METHOD - A method and an apparatus are provided for executing a plurality of objects displayed on a screen of an electronic device. The plurality of objects are displayed on the screen of the electronic device. Each of the plurality of objects is used to execute an application upon selection of a respective object. Information about a first object, of the plurality of objects, corresponding to a first application and information about a second object, of the plurality of objects, corresponding to a second application, are linked. Link information about the linked first and second objects is stored. The second application is executed upon receipt of a predetermined input value from an input means during execution of the first application. | 10-23-2014 |
20140329486 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING SIGNAL USING SHORT RANGE COMMUNICATION AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - A method and electronic device for transmitting an emergency signal. The method includes: establishing a short-range communication link with a counterpart electronic device using a first short-range communication network; generating an emergency signal when the short-range communication link with the counterpart electronic device is cut off; and broadcasting the emergency signal using a second short-range communication network. | 11-06-2014 |
20150150127 | METHOD OF VERIFYING INTEGRITY OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - Disclosed herein are techniques for verifying the integrity of an electronic device. A normal world virtual processor and a secure world virtual processor are instantiated. An integrity verification agent is executed by the secure world virtual processor. A kernel operation attempted by the normal world virtual processor is intercepted by the secure world virtual processor. | 05-28-2015 |
20150293691 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SELECTING DATA ON A SCREEN - A method for an electronic device includes determining whether a drag of a touch draws a circumference of a closed region on a screen, recognizing at least one object within the closed region of the screen, and extracting the at least one object from the closed region of the screen. An apparatus includes a screen configured to display an image, and a processor configured to determine whether a drag of a touch draws a circumference of a closed region on a screen, and recognize at least one object within the closed region of the screen, and extract the at least one object from the closed region of the screen. | 10-15-2015 |
20150324163 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF INTERCONNECTING THE SAME - A method of operating a first electronic device is provided. The method includes determining whether at least one second electronic device is present on the first electronic device, displaying at least one image on a display of the first electronic device, identifying a first information input to at least one image sensor of the at least one second electronic device, comparing the identified first information with a parameter of the displayed image, determining a location of the at least one second electronic device based on the comparison result, and displaying a second information on the display based on the determined location. | 11-12-2015 |
20160062326 | DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING PERFORMANCE OF THE DEVICE BASED ON FLUCTUATIONS IN INTERNAL TEMPERATURE AND METHOD THEREOF - An electronic device, a method of controlling performance of the electronic device, and a chipset thereof is provided. The electronic device includes a sensor module configured to measure an internal temperature of the electronic device, a surface temperature predicting module to predict a surface temperature of the electronic device using the measured internal temperature, and a processor to control at least a portion of performance of the electronic device based on the predicted surface temperature. The method includes measuring an internal temperature of the electronic device; predicting a surface temperature of the electronic device using the measured internal temperature; and controlling at least a portion of performance of the electronic device based on the predicted surface temperature. | 03-03-2016 |
20160062423 | METHOD FOR MANAGING HEAT GENERATION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - Provided is a method for managing heat generation in an electronic device. The method includes determining a state of the electronic device, applying a performance level for at least one element associated with heat generation, corresponding to the state, monitoring state information of the electronic device, and adjusting the performance level for the at least one element according to the state information. Various embodiments are also possible. | 03-03-2016 |
