Abstract:
Provided is a character input method and apparatus. The character input method includes assigning character groups, each of which includes at least two characters, to at least two key regions generated by dividing a region of the touch screen and displaying the character groups in the corresponding key regions, based on one-to-one correspondence, if a press event occurs in one of the key regions, enlarging and displaying characters included in the key region where the press event occurs, determining whether one of a release event and a drag event occurs in one of the key regions where the characters are displayed enlarged, if it is determined that the drag event occurs, indicating the key region where the drag event occurs according to distance and direction of the drag event, and if the release event occurs in the indicated key region, outputting characters included in the indicated key region on the touch screen. Thus, a user can easily find a desired character and accurately input the character, thereby performing key input more conveniently and quickly.
Abstract:
A computer system security apparatus and a security method thereof, the apparatus including a recognition unit to recognize identification information of a user; an operation unit to produce a result value by executing a predetermined operation on the identification information of the user and unique identification information of the computer system; and a main control unit to execute a booting of the computer system according to whether a preset password of the computer system and the result value are the same.
Abstract:
A portable terminal is equipped with a first housing, a second housing and a hinge device, the second housing being coupled to one end of the first housing and rotating about a hinge axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the first housing, the hinge device rotatably coupling the first housing and the second housing, the hinge device including: a first hinge base mounted on the first housing or the second housing; a second hinge base mounted on the second housing or the first housing, coupled oppositely to the first hinge base, and rotating about the hinge axis; and a hinge stopper mounted adjacent to the second hinge base, and pivoting around the hinge axis as the second hinge base rotates, wherein the hinge stopper is engaged with the first hinge base in at least one point while the second hinge base rotates, and thus stops rotation of the second hinge base.

Abstract:
A computer system and a control method thereof, the computer system including: a processor which executes a program; a communication unit which communicates with an external device; a main body which is provided with the processor. A cover which can be opened and shut with regard to the main body; an open/shut sensor which senses whether the cover is open or shut; and a controller which interrupts an operation of the communication unit if the open/shut sensor senses that the cover is shut.
Abstract:
An apparatus to package a semiconductor chip includes a coil configured to use induction heating to reflow a solder ball of the semiconductor chip. The coil includes a first body, a second body parallel to the first body, a third body extending from the first body to the second body. The first and second bodies are symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane disposed therebetween. The first and second bodies have inclined surfaces facing each other, and the inclined surfaces are distant from each other downward.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for providing a character deletion function is provided. A plurality of deletion items having respective designated deletion schemes are displayed, when there is a request for a deletion mode while inputting characters. It is determined if a Drag event occurs after a Press event occurs in an area where one of the plurality of deletion items is displayed. It is determined if a Release event occurs when the Drag event occurs. A deletion function in a deletion scheme corresponding to a deletion item having an area where the Release event occurs is performed when the Release event occurs. Accordingly, a user has convenience with which, when inputting characters, the user receives various deletion schemes and can perform a desired deletion function in a simple way.
Abstract:
A system for tracepoint-based fault diagnosis and recovery includes: a system state tracing model unit for storing state tracing models which are obtained by a modeling technique and are required for fault diagnosis and recovery; a state diagnosis unit for determining whether or not an action event is executable with reference to the state tracing models when the action event is received from a specific tracepoint among multiple tracepoints which exist in each of components within an operating system of the system, and generating a fault recovery command when it is determined that the action is not executable, that is, a fault has occurred; and a fault recovery unit for performing a fault recovery processing based on the state tracing models in response to the generated fault recovery command.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a touch interface. The method for providing the touch interface includes receiving a touch input from a touch detection unit, detecting touch characteristics according to the touch input, and generating events different from each other according to the detected touch characteristics.
Abstract:
A computer system including a display unit to display a display area of the computer system, a wireless communications module to interface with at least one external device, a pointing processing unit to move a pointer indicated on the display unit in correspondence to a first radio signal input through the wireless communications module, and a controller which controls the wireless communications module to output a second radio signal, which corresponds to the first radio signal, to the external device when the pointer points to a changeover area of the display area of the display unit for a predetermined time.
