Abstract:
Apparatuses are provided for connecting electronic devices. An apparatus includes short-range communication circuitry; a communication software module; and a processor adapted to connect with a wireless access point (AP); broadcast, using the short-range communication circuitry, a request message to perform a service associated with file sharing or conferencing, the request message including a unique identifier or a unique name related to the service; receive, via the wireless AP, a response message from at least one external device connected with the wireless AP; establish a communicative connection with the at least one external device via the wireless AP; and perform, using the communication software module, an operation for the service with the at least one external device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for connecting electronic devices. A first electronic device broadcasts a message including at least one of related service information and connectivity information necessary for accessing a wireless access point (AP) accessed by the first electronic device, by using short-range communication. The first electronic device receives a connection request from at least one second electronic device via the wireless AP.
Abstract:
A vertical memory device may include a channel connecting pattern on a substrate, gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a first direction on the channel connecting pattern, and a channel extending in the first direction through the gate electrodes and the channel connecting pattern. Each of the electrodes may extend in a second direction substantially parallel to an upper surface of the substrate, and the first direction may be substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate. An end portion of the channel connecting pattern in a third direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate and substantially perpendicular to the second direction may have an upper surface higher than an upper surface of other portions of the channel connecting pattern except for a portion thereof adjacent the channel.
