Abstract:
A method and an electronic device are provided for transmitting a message from an electronic device to another electronic device. Handwritten input comprising one or more input objects is received. Playback information of the one or more input objects is generated using input coordinates of the one or more input objects or input times of the one or more input objects. An animation message including a first region in which one or more images are displayed, and a second region in which the one or more input objects are displayed, is generated according to the playback information. The animation message is transmitted to the another electronic device.
Abstract:
A method for creating an animation message includes generating input information containing information regarding input time and input coordinates according to input order of drawing information input through a touch screen; dividing an image containing the drawing information and background information into a plurality of blocks; creating an animation message by mapping the input information to the plurality of blocks so that the drawing information can be sequentially reproduced according to the input order; allocating a parity bit per pre-set block range of the animation message in order to detect an error occurring in the animation message; and transmitting the created animation message.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for recognizing a character based on an input image is provided. The apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive the input image and a controller configured to select, from the input image, a region of image analysis to be used for image analysis, and to analyze the selected region of image analysis to determine a type of the input image, to apply, to the input image, an image effect for distinguishing a character region and a background region in the input image if the type of the input image indicates that the input image is obtained by photographing a display screen, to binarize output of the image effect according to the determined type of the input image, and to recognize a character from the binarized output of the image effect.

Abstract:
A method and a device for recognizing a document image, and a photographing method using the same are provided. The method includes extracting, from an input image, a primary feature, including information on feature points, by determining each pixel that is not similar to comparison pixels to be a feature point through a comparison of the pixel to the comparison pixels spaced a predetermined distance apart from the pixel, and classifying the input image as a document image or a non-document image by applying preset primary classification criteria, including criteria for the total number of the feature points to the primary feature.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for recognizing a hand shape by using a finger pattern are disclosed. The throughput of data used to recognize a hand shape is reduced and the hand shape can be quickly recognized by setting in advance a finger pattern in accordance with one or more hand shapes, calculating edges for each pixel line of an input image, detecting finger feature data by using a preset feature reference value, detecting a finger candidate pattern by using the detected finger feature data, and recognizing a hand shape corresponding to a finger pattern that matches the detected finger candidate pattern.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods are provided for executing a function corresponding to a handwritten user input at the same time as providing a handwritten unlock command on a lock screen of an electronic device. The apparatus includes a touch screen that displays a lock screen including a first layer for unlocking the lock screen and a second layer that is laid over the first layer, and a controller that verifies that an unlock command is the same as a predetermined unlock command in response to the unlock command being input to the first layer, to display the second layer in response to the unlock command being the same as the predetermined unlock command, and to search for a command corresponding to a handwritten user input that is input to the second layer to execute the command.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for displaying pictures according to hand motion inputs. An application is executed for displaying a picture from among a sequence of pictures on a display. Groups of skin color blocks corresponding to a hand are detected from among image frames output from a camera. A motion is detected among the groups of skin color blocks. Direction information is obtained on the detected motion. The application is controlled to display a previous picture or a next picture in the sequence of pictures on the display according to the direction information.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for receiving additional object information regarding a particular object in at least one frame from among a sequence of a plurality of frames included in image media are provided. The method includes receiving selection of a reference frame including a target object, and receiving selection of the target object in the reference frame; receiving, as an input, additional object information regarding the target object; tracking the target object in each of frames disposed subsequent to the reference frame in the sequence and frames prior to the reference frame in the sequence; extracting target object information from a result of tracking the target object; and building a target object-related information database including at least one of the additional object information regarding the target object and the extracted target object information.
