Abstract:
A method for providing a security environment. The method includes detecting user information from an accessory in response to detection of the accessory, performing security authentication with input security information if the user information is detected; and providing the security environment when the security authentication is successful.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of recognizing an external device in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a connector connected to the external device, and a controller configured to transmit a connection message, if the portable terminal is connected to the external device through the connector, the connection message asking whether the external device supports a second connection scheme to the external device by using a first connection scheme, configured to receive a connection response message as a response to the connection message from the external device, configured to determine based on the connection response message whether the external device supports the second connection scheme, and configured to recognize at least one device supporting the second connection scheme in the external device by activating the second connection scheme, if the external device supports the second connection scheme.
Abstract:
A user terminal includes a touch screen configured to receive a touch gesture input and display a screen image, and a control unit configured to set a touch-move determination region with reference to a touch starting point according to the touch gesture input, and when a touch-move line of the touch gesture input passes a predetermined reference region in a predetermined direction in the touch-move determination region, to move and display the screen image in the predetermined direction. The user terminal enables the movement of a screen image in a direction between vertical and horizontal directions, including vertical and horizontal movements and a diagonal movement to be more conveniently and efficiently conducted.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for adjusting an attribute of a specific object of a webpage in an electronic device. The webpage is displayed. A first user gesture for selecting the specific object of the webpage is detected. A second user gesture for adjusting the attribute of the specific object of the webpage is detected. The webpage is displayed having the specific object with the adjusted attributed according to the second user gesture.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprising: a visible light communication (VLC) transmitter; a radio transmitter; and at least one processor, configured to: control the radio transmitter to transmit a first data item to a receiving device; and control the VLC transmitter to transmit a second data item to the receiving device.
Abstract:
An electronic device for preventing leakage of a received sound is provided. The electronic device includes a receiver which outputs the received sound; a receiving portion which receives the receiver; and a hole which communicates with the receiving portion.
Abstract:
A method for sensing a fingerprint, comprising: receiving, by an electronic device, a sound wave signal that is reflected from an object; detecting at least one echo signal that is associated with the object for each reception period in a plurality of reception periods, wherein the at least one echo signal is detected based on the sound wave signal; and detecting the fingerprint based on the at least one echo signal.
Abstract:
A content arranging method and apparatus in a media equipment and recording medium that stores a program source associated with the method are provided. The content arranging method includes extracting time information associated with stored contents from meta data of each of the stored contents, classifying the stored contents based on the extracted time information and a time interval for arranging the stored contents, determining at least one time item corresponding to the time interval, and arranging each of the classified contents under a corresponding time item. The method arranges the stored contents in the media equipment based on a time so that a user readily retrieves a desired content.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method are provided. The apparatus includes a connector to connect with an electronic device external to the apparatus, and a processor configured to identify a connection with the electronic device via the connector, receive, using a first communication scheme, a message from the electronic device based at least in part on the identifying, determine, based at least in part on the message, whether the electronic device supports a second communication scheme, and establish a communication link corresponding to the second communication scheme with the electronic device based at least in part on a determination that the electronic device supports the second communication scheme.
Abstract:
An electronic device for preventing leakage of a received sound is provided. The electronic device includes a receiver which outputs the received sound; a receiving portion which receives the receiver; and a hole which communicates with the receiving portion.
