Abstract:
An apparatus and method for dynamically creating a community space in a virtual space. A request for a connection to a personal web space of another user to be visited by a user possessing a personal web space is made. When the connection request is identified, a new community space is generated by connecting the personal web spaces of the users to each other. Immediate interaction between the users is performed in the generated new community space.
Abstract:
The present invention is provided to report a loss of a terminal in a wireless communication system. A method of detecting the loss of the terminal includes comparing information elements that change depending on geographical movement of a primary terminal and a secondary terminal when a time for detecting the loss arrives. The loss of the secondary terminal is detected based on the comparison result of the information elements that change depending on the geographical movement of the terminals. The loss of the secondary terminal is reported to the primary terminal.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing an input to a portable terminal includes a switch for a portable terminal with a touch screen. The switch includes a suction plate attachable onto the main screen; and a button inserted into the suction plate, the button touching the touch screen when it is pushed.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for taking an image and conducting video communication are provided. The image-taking and video communication apparatus includes a transparent display, a front camera, and a controller. The front camera is positioned behind the transparent display and captures an image of an object in front of the transparent display through the transparent display. The controller synchronizes an image capture period of the front camera with a screen output period of the transparent display so that image capturing of the front camera alternates with screen output of the transparent display.
Abstract:
An apparatus is capable of sharing information through a presence service in a communication network and capable of providing presence information of a Mobile Station (MS). The apparatus extracts at least one of application information and contents indication information from an application in execution. Presence information is generated that includes at least one of the application information and the contents indication information, and transmitting the presence information to a presence server.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling screen display in a portable terminal are provided. In the method, whether a screen touch occurs is determined. When the screen touch occurs, whether the screen touch corresponds to a spiral touch is determined using coordinates at which the screen is touched. When the screen touch is the spiral touch, the screen is magnified or reduced.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method transact digital contents. More particularly, an apparatus and a method for inserting a purchaser's signature into digital contents and providing the same in a digital contents management system are provided. The apparatus includes a purchaser terminal, a contents server, and a receiver terminal. The purchaser terminal detects a user's input, writes a signature to be inserted into contents, and transmits the written signature to a contents server when purchasing contents. The contents server inserts the signature received from the purchaser terminal into original digital contents. The receiver terminal receives and reproduces the original digital contents to which the signature has been added.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for measuring a distance between portable Bluetooth terminals. The method includes transmitting first distance measurement radio waves to a specific portable Bluetooth terminal corresponding to user selection from among one or more portable Bluetooth terminals which can be connected through Bluetooth; and if second distance measurement radio waves are received from the specific portable Bluetooth terminal, detecting a distance corresponding to an intensity of the received second distance measurement radio waves, and notifying a user of the detected distance.
Abstract:
A terminal and method for providing user interfaces linked to postures of a terminal, whereby a key input signal is received from any one of function keys located at both sides of the terminal, a posture of the terminal is determined in response to the received key input signal, a user interface screen corresponding to the determined posture of the terminal is provided, and settings of the terminal are changed according to the determined posture of the terminal, thereby increasing convenience of a user interface without use of a complicated sensor system.
