Abstract:
An apparatus and a method are provided. The apparatus includes a connecter to connect with an electronic device external to the apparatus, and a processor configured to identify a connection with the electronic device via the connector, receive, using a first communication scheme, a message from the electronic device based at least in part on the identifying, determine, based at least in part on the message, whether the electronic device supports a second communication scheme, and establish a communication link corresponding to the second communication scheme with the electronic device based at least in part on a determination that the electronic device supports the second communication scheme.
Abstract:
A content arranging method and apparatus in a media equipment and recording medium that stores a program source associated with the method are provided. The content arranging method includes extracting time information associated with stored contents from meta data of each of the stored contents, classifying the stored contents based on the extracted time information and a time interval for arranging the stored contents, determining at least one time item corresponding to the time interval, and arranging each of the classified contents under a corresponding time item. The method arranges the stored contents in the media equipment based on a time so that a user readily retrieves a desired content.
Abstract:
A method for sensing a fingerprint, comprising: receiving, by an electronic device, a sound wave signal that is reflected from an object; detecting at least one echo signal that is associated with the object for each reception period in a plurality of reception periods, wherein the at least one echo signal is detected based on the sound wave signal; and detecting the fingerprint based on the at least one echo signal.

Abstract:
A method for providing caller information about a caller to a terminal, upon reception of an incoming call from the caller in a communication system supporting enterprise mobility communication is provided. The method includes receiving a phone number of the caller from the terminal that has registered with an enterprise mobility system, accessing at least one server providing a service for enterprise mobility communication and acquiring a service history between the terminal and the caller, and providing the service history on a screen of the terminal, indicating an active call state.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprising: a visible light communication (VLC) transmitter; a radio transmitter; and at least one processor, configured to: control the radio transmitter to transmit a first data item to a receiving device; and control the VLC transmitter to transmit a second data item to the receiving device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of recognizing an external device in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a connector connected to the external device, and a controller configured to transmit a connection message, if the portable terminal is connected to the external device through the connector, the connection message asking whether the external device supports a second connection scheme to the external device by using a first connection scheme, configured to receive a connection response message as a response to the connection message from the external device, configured to determine based on the connection response message whether the external device supports the second connection scheme, and configured to recognize at least one device supporting the second connection scheme in the external device by activating the second connection scheme, if the external device supports the second connection scheme.
