Abstract:
Methods of configuring a different authority for a plurality of users to use at least one application in an electronic device. User inputs are received to set passwords for respective user levels, where each user level is associated with a different authority to access applications. The passwords are registered for the respective user levels. At least one application is associated with one of the user levels.
Abstract:
According to various embodiments, an electronic device for charging a battery of an external device may include a coil and a first circuit configured to wirelessly transmit power to the external device through the coil. A second circuit may be configured to wirelessly receive information from the external device. A fan may be disposed adjacent to the coil to discharge heat to the exterior of the electronic device. A control circuit may adjust the driving speed of the fan based at least in part on the received information.
Abstract:
An example electronic device calibrates a center of a sensor for acquiring sensing data differently according whether the electronic device is worn on a part of a user body or not, and provides data sensed based on a result of the calibrating to the user, so that more exact and/or accurate data and a better sense of use can be provided to the user.
Abstract:
A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a movement of the electronic device, and changing a scale of a displayed image based on the movement.
Abstract:
A method of performing a function of an electronic device, an electronic device, and a computer readable recording medium are provided. The method includes detecting a signal generated by a user gesture, identifying the user gesture by analyzing a waveform of the detected signal, and performing a function corresponding to the identified user gesture. The various embodiments of the present disclosure may be replaced by other embodiments.
Abstract:
A method of operating a haptic-enabled electronic device includes detecting an input interaction between the haptic-enabled electronic device and a touchscreen-enabled electronic device selecting a vibration command in associated with the input, and vibrating the haptic-enabled electronic device in response to the vibration command.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a function of an electronic device by using an electronic pen and the electronic device are provided. The method of controlling the function of the electronic device includes determining a motion of an electronic pen inserted into the electronic device and confirming an operation corresponding to the determined motion of the electronic pen to perform the operation.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprises a socket having a plurality of connection terminals that accommodates a card-type external device having a corner cut-out portion, a plurality of contact pads exposed on a surface of the card-type external device that are correspondingly connected to the connection terminals in response to insertion of the card-type external device into the socket. A detection unit detects erroneous insertion of the card-type external device into the socket in response to incorrect location of the cut-out portion during the erroneous insertion. A processor outputs a control signal in response to the detected erroneous insertion of the card-type external device.
