Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods are provided for executing a function corresponding to a handwritten user input at the same time as providing a handwritten unlock command on a lock screen of an electronic device. The apparatus includes a touch screen that displays a lock screen including a first layer for unlocking the lock screen and a second layer that is laid over the first layer, and a controller that verifies that an unlock command is the same as a predetermined unlock command in response to the unlock command being input to the first layer, to display the second layer in response to the unlock command being the same as the predetermined unlock command, and to search for a command corresponding to a handwritten user input that is input to the second layer to execute the command.
Abstract:
An apparatus for identifying a counterfeit bill is provided. The apparatus includes a camera module configured to receive a captured IR image of a bill; a binary image generator configured to generate a binary image of the bill, based on the IR image; a distance value calculator configured to compare a predetermined area of the binary image with a predetermined area of a pre-stored real bill database corresponding to the predetermined area of the binary image; and a corrected image generator configured to generate a corrected image based on a result of the comparison.
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.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for receiving additional object information regarding a particular object in at least one frame from among a sequence of a plurality of frames included in image media are provided. The method includes receiving selection of a reference frame including a target object, and receiving selection of the target object in the reference frame; receiving, as an input, additional object information regarding the target object; tracking the target object in each of frames disposed subsequent to the reference frame in the sequence and frames prior to the reference frame in the sequence; extracting target object information from a result of tracking the target object; and building a target object-related information database including at least one of the additional object information regarding the target object and the extracted target object information.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving a calligraphed writing message. Writing data is receiving as input at a transmitting apparatus. The writing data is sampled to generate character frame data having a plurality of point data. Calligraphy control point data is generated using the character frame data. The calligraphed writing message including the calligraphy control point data is generated and transmitted to a receiving apparatus. A calligraphy outline is generated at the receiving apparatus for generation of a calligraphed writing image using the calligraphy control point data from the calligraphed writing message. Graphic processing is performed on the calligraphy outline. The calligraphed writing image is generated and displayed.
