Abstract:
The present disclosure refers to apparatuses and methods for initializing electronic devices. An electronic device according to various embodiments includes a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the memory. The processor is configured to record, in the memory, software binaries received from an external device during a download mode. The processor is further configured to, when the download mode has ended, perform booting in a normal mode using a bootloader based on a determination indicating that a predetermined software binary is present among the software binaries recorded in the memory, and perform booting in a recovery mode using the bootloader based on the determination indicating that the predetermined software binary is absent from among the software binaries recorded in the memory.

Abstract:
A method and electronic device reproducing a multiple shutter sound that reproduces a same shutter sound or a series of different shutter sounds during the period where an image is being processed by transmitting two or more interrupts to a controller by an image signal processor and an electronic device thereof. The repetitive shutter sounds can indicate to a user that the image is still being processed, so that the user does not move the camera and affect the capture of the image. The method of reproducing a multiple shutter sound includes: receiving a command for shooting a photograph; processing an image in response to the command; and transmitting at least two interrupt to a controller such that the shutter sound is reproduced at least twice while processing the image.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include a pull-down transistor and a pull-up transistor disposed on a substrate. Each of the pull-down transistor and the pull-up transistor may include an active pattern disposed on the substrate; two source/drain patterns disposed on the active pattern; a channel pattern interposed between the two source/drain patterns, the channel pattern including semiconductor patterns that are disposed in a noncontiguous stack, such that a semiconductor pattern does not contact an adjacent semiconductor pattern; and a gate electrode crossing the channel pattern in a first direction. There may be more or less semiconductor patterns of the pull-down transistor as compared to semiconductor patterns of the pull-up transistor.
