Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The device includes a touch sensor configured to sense at least one touch; a pressure sensor configured to sense at least one pressure; and a controller configured to sense a grip pattern on the electronic device using the touch sensor and the pressure sensor, and to control a predetermined function according to the grip pattern.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is a wearable electronic device, comprising: a first sensor configured to sense a movement of the electronic device; a second sensor configured to sense a biological signal for a user wearing the electronic device; and a processor configured to compute a movement value of the electronic device using the first sensor, to detect a resting state when the movement value lasts within a predetermined first threshold range during a first time period, and to configure biological information of the user based on a biological signal measured after detection of the resting state.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for switching a navigation mode between a vehicle navigation mode and a personal navigation mode in a navigation device supporting vehicle navigation and personal navigation. Switching between the vehicle navigation mode and the personal navigation mode is performed according to whether the navigation device is mounted in a navigation device holder, whether a GPS speed provided by a GPS receiver is higher than a predetermined speed, and whether a step is detected using an output of an accelerometer. Since mode switching between the vehicle navigation mode and the personal navigation mode is automatically performed, a user does not need to manually perform mode switching.

Abstract:
A method for controlling image display based on movement of a terminal is provided. The method includes displaying any one image in an image list, when an image view feature runs; detecting movement of the terminal; and sequentially replacing and outputting images in the image list based on at least one of a moving direction and a moving angle of the terminal, upon detecting the movement of the terminal.
Abstract:
According to various examples of the present invention, a wearable electronic device comprises: an energy harvester for generating electric energy on the basis of a movement or a change in the shape of the wearable electronic device; a first processor for controlling the energy harvester; a first sensor and a second sensor; and a second processor for controlling the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the first processor transmits, to the second processor, a control signal for transitioning the second processor into an activated state if the electric energy generated by the energy harvester satisfies a designated first condition, and the second processor can be set such that first sensor data is acquired through the first sensor and second sensor data is selectively acquired from the second sensor according to whether the first sensor data satisfies a designated second condition, when the second processor is transitioned from an inactivated state to the activated state by responding to the control signal.
Abstract:
A wireless connection method between a plurality of electronic devices using an out of band channel is provided. The wireless connection method includes receiving a first hash value through the out of band channel, receiving device identification information of electronic devices in proximity to an electronic device through a main wireless channel, calculating hash values of the device identification information, and performing a wireless connection of the electronic device with a surrounding electronic device that has the hash value identical to the first hash value among the calculated hash values.
Abstract:
A method of performing communication with a second communication device by a first communication device is provided. The method includes identifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address for communication with a first communication network, providing data including the IP address to the second communication device connected through a second communication network, and executing a communication application being connected with the second communication device via the first communication network using the IP address.
Abstract:
A method of implementing a location-based service within a building is provided. The method includes receiving, from at least one electronic device, a plurality of data sets indicating information of wireless signals which the at least one electronic device measures for each time or for each location within the building; determining a similarity between the plurality of data sets; generating a logical path by integrating similar data sets; and generating a wireless signal map within the building by mapping the logical path to a physical path of the building.
Abstract:
A method of scrolling a screen in a display apparatus includes initiating a screen-scroll according to a speed of a currently generated flick input when the flick input is generated, comparing a tilt of an axis of a corresponding apparatus with an initial location at a time of generation of the flick input to determine whether a change amount of a change is within a reference value, maintaining a current screen-scroll speed if the change amount deviates from the reference value, and stopping a screen-scroll operation when a scroll stop condition is met.
