The apparatus includes a sensor configured to detect a user's gesture, a communication unit, and a controller configured to generate a command for a virtual leash based on the detected gesture, and to control the communication unit to transmit the command to a collar of a pet.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for correlating events in a smart home system as a pattern. The apparatus and method include collecting from smart home devices, state change events of the smart home system, determining whether a series of the collected state change events are a known pattern, requesting, when the series of the collected state change events is an unknown pattern, users of the smart home system to identify what caused the collected state change events, and judging, by the smart home users, a best reason among the identified causes of the collected state change events.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for sharing screens among multiple mobile devices are provided. The mobile device includes a sensor, a communication unit for determining whether at least one other mobile device is substantially in contact with the mobile device, based on information received from the sensor, and for communicating with the at least one other mobile device, a display unit including a physical screen for displaying a graphical component, and a controller for combining the physical screen of the display unit with physical screens of the at least one other mobile device into a single logical screen such that graphical components displayed on one physical screen may be moved to another physical screen as if both physical screens were part of a single screen.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for monitoring an application to be installed on a mobile device are provided. The apparatus includes a display unit, a monitoring unit for determining whether a user has selected an application for installation in the mobile device, the application requiring at least one permission predetermined by the user, and a controller for controlling the mobile device to present an alert to the user when the user selects the application, wherein each of the at least one permission represents an action performed by an application.
Abstract:
A wireless mobile device for personalizing the control and IVI settings of a connected vehicle according to a seat position of a user of the mobile device. The wireless mobile device is configured to: i) receive a radio signal from each of a plurality of beacons in the vehicle; ii) determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for each received radio signal; iii) apply a seat prediction model M to the RS SI value for each received radio signal to predict a seat position P; and iv) transmit a predicted seat position P to a server. The seat prediction model M is generated by a machine learning process and stored in a server. A beacon array configuration, data collection and generalization procedure optimizes the coverage and accuracy of the model M. The wireless mobile device is further configured to receive an identification (ID) value of the vehicle. The wireless mobile device retrieves the seat prediction model M from the server and caches in memory in the wireless mobile device. Once the vehicle knows the in-vehicle seat position of a user, on-demand personalization will follow automatically. The personalization can be for vehicle controls, IVI head unit or backseat entertainment system, etc., according to user's in-vehicle seat position.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for automatic discovery and suggesting personalized gestures from mobile terminal to control a plurality of devices in smart home system, based on user's habit and context. The method includes recording, via a mobile terminal, a context of the mobile terminal, recoding, via home system, actions taken by the plurality of devices in the home system, recognizing as a gesture command from a correlation of at least a portion of the recorded context of the user's mobile terminal with the recorded actions taken by the plurality of devices in the home system, and controlling at least one of the plurality of devices based a repetition of the gesture command, the controlling repeating the actions taken by the at least one of the plurality of devices in the home system.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for selecting items on a portable terminal are provided. The method includes receiving an input for rearranging at least one item on a User Interface (UI), and rearranging and displaying on a screen the at least one item on the UI. The at least one rearranged item is rearranged so as to be displayed in a position that is different from an original position of the at least one rearranged item in relation to a remaining portion of the UI.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for customizing an Operating System (OS) function of a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes determining content data to be displayed when the OS function is called by an application running on the mobile terminal, when the OS function is called by the application, displaying the content data superimposed over the application in a display, and, when the OS function is released by the application, returning to a display of the application in the display.
Abstract:
A mobile device comprising: i) receive path circuitry configured to detect signals transmitted by a plurality of wall-mounted beacons in a structure in which the mobile device is located, the receive path circuitry further configured to determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value associated with each detected beacon and to determine an identification (ID) value transmitted by each detected beacon; ii) a memory configured to store a floor plan of the structure; and iii) processing circuitry configured to identify a first detected beacon and a second detected beacon mounted on opposing sides of a first wall using the floor plan and the transmitted ID values of the first and second detected beacons. The processing circuitry uses the RSSI value of the first detected beacon and the RSSI value of the second detected beacon to determine if the mobile phone is on the same side of the first wall as the first detected beacon or the second detected beacon.
