20090121867 | INDOOR LOCATION SYSTEM HAVING SENSOR AND METHOD FOR CHECKING LOCATION USING THE SAME - An indoor location system having a sensor and a method for checking an indoor location using the indoor location system are disclosed. The method includes: calculating a current location coordinate by using nodes; calculating a first movement distance by comparing the current location coordinate and a stored previous location coordinate; calculating a second movement distance through a sensor; and storing the current location coordinate instead of the previous location coordinate when the distance between the first movement distance and the second movement distance is smaller than a predetermined threshold value. Accordingly, an accurate location of an object can be recognized indoors and an error can be prevented from being caused when the location of the object is recognized. | 05-14-2009 |
20100008582 | METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING AND TRANSLATING CHARACTERS IN CAMERA-BASED IMAGE - A method for recognizing an image photographed by a camera and translating characters in connection with an electronic dictionary is provided. The method includes directly selecting an area to be recognized from the photographed character image and performing character recognition, translating and recognizing characters of a user's selected word in connection with dictionary data, and displaying translation result information of user's selected character or word in connection with dictionary data on a screen device. The recognition includes providing information on location of the selected character image area and location of the recognized character string words to the user, and then translating a character string or word in a location area selected by the user. The electronic dictionary-connected search and translation is for searching the character or word selected in connection with the electronic dictionary database, and providing translation result to the user. | 01-14-2010 |
20100079629 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING DEFECTIVE PIXEL - Disclosed is an apparatus for correcting a value of a defective pixel based on values of neighboring pixels of the defective pixel, the apparatus includes a plurality of first-stage median filters for receiving a value of a target pixel and values of neighboring pixels of the target pixel, and outputting median values of the received values; and at least one second-stage median filter for receiving the value of the target pixel and the median values from the first-stage median filters, and outputting a median value of the values received by the second-stage median filter. | 04-01-2010 |
20120072926 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONSTRUCTING A WIDGET ENVIRONMENT - A method and apparatus construct a widget environment. The method converts an application programming interface (API) into an API call in a Web service format in response to identifying that the API that is not executable in a current device is called. The method transmits the API call in the Web service format to a remote device in which the API is executable. The method receives a result obtained from the API call being executed in the Web service format in the remote device. | 03-22-2012 |
