Abstract:
A method of connecting a call in an electronic device automatically sends a signal for connecting the call to a user of a selected contact object by only a gesture moving the electronic device to an ear so the user selects the contact object and an apparatus thereof. The method of connecting a call in the electronic device, includes: displaying a community service picture including at least one contact object; receiving an input where the contact object is selected in a state that the community service picture is displayed; receiving an input where a status of the electronic device is changed in a state that the contact object is selected; acquiring contact point information corresponding to the selected contact object when the contact object is selected and status change of the electronic device is detected; and automatically connecting a call using the acquired contact point information.
Abstract:
A method of providing a multi touch interaction in a portable terminal includes receiving a first touch input, performing a first function corresponding to the received first touch input, receiving a second touch input when the first touch input is maintained, and performing a second function corresponding to the received second touch input while maintaining a movement of at least one specific object selected by the first touch input.
Abstract:
An air conditioner includes a communication interface to communicate with a server device, a memory to store one or more instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the stored one or more instructions to transmit, to the server device through the communication interface, current state information including one or more of operation time information of the air conditioner, set temperature information of the air conditioner, and current indoor temperature information, receive a set temperature increase request corresponding to the transmitted current state information from the server device through the communication interface, and adjust a set temperature of the air conditioner based on the received set temperature increase request, and the set temperature increase request is received when an overcooling period is identified.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The control method of the air conditioner is capable of acquiring a voice of a user including a state of the user, transmitting the voice of the user to an external server, receiving, from the external server, a control command acquired by using a cooling tendency of the user and the state of the user determined on the basis of a usage history of the air conditioner, and controlling the air conditioner on the basis of the control command. In particular, at least a part of a method of acquiring a control command on the basis of a cooling tendency of a user may use an artificial intelligence model trained according to at least one of machine learning, a neural network, and deep learning algorithms.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for operating an electronic device. An opening of a flexible display unit from a closed position is sensed. The flexible display unit includes a first display area, a second display area, and a status display area disposed between the first display area and the second display area. An open angle between the first display area and the second display area is determined. Status information, which is to be displayed in the status display area, is determined based on the open angle.
Abstract:
A flexible electronic device and an operation method thereof are provided. The flexible electronic device includes a flexible display, and a processor operatively coupled to the display. The processor can detect a position of a fastening part of the electronic device, set a display region of the display, and display screen information in the display region.
Abstract:
A method for performing a task in an electronic device includes: detecting a deformation of at least a part of the electronic device; identifying information on a task which is performed in the electronic device; and restoring the at least a part of the electronic device from which the deformation is detected based on at least the identified information on the task.
Abstract:
In an electronic apparatus, reference information stored on a memory includes standard appliance ownership information describing owned home appliances of at least one standard household and standard monthly power consumption information of the standard household. A processor obtains first monthly power consumption information of a first household which owns a first home appliance of a same type as a standard home appliance described in the standard appliance ownership information. Based on a difference between the standard and first monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, the processor compares appliance monthly power consumption information of the standard home appliance and of the first home appliance, and, based on the result being within a threshold range, predicts first appliance ownership information on owned home appliances of the first household based on the standard appliance ownership information. The processor then provides guide information associated with the first appliance ownership information.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a memory stored with home device information corresponding respectively to a plurality of households and electrical power usage information corresponding respectively to the plurality of households, and a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus by being connected to the memory, and the processor is configured to obtain, based on a service request being received from a new household, home device information corresponding to the new household, update home device information corresponding to the new household based on at least one device included in the obtained home device information, identify at least one household from among the plurality of households based on the updated home device information, and obtain predicted electrical power usage information of the new household based on electrical power usage information corresponding to the identified at least one household.
Abstract:
A drying apparatus including a drying unit and a processor configured to control an operation of the drying unit. The processor is configured to, based on a drying request being received, identify whether the drying request is an initial drying command for a material to be dried or an additional drying request for the material to be dried, and based on the drying request being identified as the additional drying command, control the drying unit to perform an additional drying operation for the material to be dried based on a drying operation method corresponding to a previous drying command for the material to be dried.
