Abstract:
A device, a method, and a system recognize a motion using a gripped object. The motion recognition device may estimate a state of a wrist of a user according to a writing action using the gripped object and may estimate a joint motion of a body part related to the wrist according to the writing action. The device may then estimate a state of the gripped object according to the state of the wrist and the joint motion. Additionally, the motion recognition device may control an external device by using a control signal generated by continuously tracking the state of the object.

A wearable device and a communication method using the wearable device may include recognizing a gesture of a user by sensing at least one of a motion and a biosignal that occur in or around a portion of the user to which the wearable device is attached. A wireless communication connection is established for the wearable device with at least one of an external device, an internal device, or another wearable device based on the recognized gesture. Wireless communication is performed with at least one of the external device and the internal device with which the wireless communication connection is established.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus provide for stable signal demodulation in a communication system. The method and apparatus includes including detecting an erroneous demodulation value based on backward-demodulation of received signals, using a difference between a received signal to be demodulated and a preceding signal of the received signals and correcting the error demodulation value. Alternatively, backward-demodulation is used to confirm received signals.
