Abstract:
An electronic device provides location-based services. The electronic device may include a communication module configured to receive information on a wireless network device, including identification information of at least one electronic device, from the wireless network device. The electronic device may also include a controller configured to perform at least some functions of the electronic device, based on at least one piece of action information corresponding to the identification information, when the identification information corresponding to the electronic device is included in the received information.
Abstract:
There are provided an interface setup apparatus and method capable of easily setting up an interface in a mobile terminal. A controller transmits, to a server, identification information extracted from a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card inserted into the mobile terminal upon power-on of the mobile terminal, in response, downloads a binary received from the server and corresponding to the identification information, and sets up the interface of the mobile terminal based on the binary.
Abstract:
A method for operating a first electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving data from a second electronic device in short-range radio communication. The method also includes detecting a location of the first electronic device. The method further includes determining an execution method of the received data based on at least one of the location of the electronic device and one or more of communication region information of the short-range radio communication of the second electronic device, signal strength of the short-range radio communication in the communication region, and location information of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A beamforming method and apparatus for acquiring a sound signal in an electronic device includes selecting at least one object for beamforming to acquire a sound, measuring a first distance between the at least one object selected and a sensor for distance measurement, calculating a second distance between the at least one object and a plurality of microphones based on the first distance, and determining a weight for sound beamforming using at least one of time delay and phase delay corresponding to the second distance between the object and the microphone.
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.
