Abstract:
An apparatus and method set up an interface in a mobile terminal. The method includes: storing an interface setup application including customized data unique to countries and operators; determining whether a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is inserted into the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is powered on; detecting a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code (MNC) included in the SIM card, if the SIM card is inserted into the mobile terminal; executing the interface setup application and searching for customized data corresponding to the detected MCC and MNC from among the customized data unique to countries and operators; and installing an interface of the mobile terminal based on the searched customized data.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for human activity and facial expression modeling and recognition are based on feature extraction techniques from time sequential images. The human activity modeling includes determining principal components of depth and/or binary shape images of human activities extracted from video clips. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) representations are determined based on the principal components. Features are determined through Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) based on the ICA representations. A codebook is determined using vector quantization, Observation symbol sequences in the video clips am determined. And human activities are learned using the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on status transition and an observation matrix.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for recognizing characters using an image are provided. A camera is activated according to a character recognition request and a preview mode is set for displaying an image photographed through the camera in real time. An auto focus of the camera is controlled and an image having a predetermined level of clarity is obtained for character recognition from the images obtained in the preview mode. The image for character recognition is character-recognition-processed so as to extract recognition result data. A final recognition character row is drawn that excludes non-character data from the recognition result data. A first word is combined including at least one character of the final recognition character row and a predetermined maximum number of characters. A dictionary database that stores dictionary information on various languages using the first word is searched, so as to provide the user with the corresponding word.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include a plurality of active patterns and a plurality of gate structure on a substrate, a first insulating interlayer covering the active patterns and the gate structures, a plurality of first contact plugs extending through the first insulating interlayer, a plurality of second contact plugs extending through the first insulating interlayer, and a first connecting pattern directly contacting a sidewall of at least one contact plug selected from the first and second contact plugs. Each of gate structures may include a gate insulation layer, a gate electrode and a capping pattern. Each of first contact plugs may contact the active patterns adjacent to the gate structure. Each of the second contact plugs may contact the gate electrode in the gate structures. An upper surface of the first connecting pattern may be substantially coplanar with upper surfaces of the first and second contact plugs.
