20150179094 | IMAGE PROCESSOR, DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - An image processing controller, a display device including the image processing controller and a driving method of the display device are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes receiving an image signal and gamma correcting the image signal into at least one main area image signal. The method also includes interpolating the main area image signal into a boundary area image signal. The method further includes dithering the main area image signal and the boundary area image signal into a data signal and providing the data signal to a display panel. | 06-25-2015 |
Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100135490 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING VIDEO COMMUNICATION - A method for performing video communication is provided. The method includes: creating and saving a bio key using a user's biological information before first and second terminals perform the video communication; establishing a session, wherein the first terminal requests voice communication with the second terminal; exchanging bio keys saved in the respective terminals and saving the same; starting a Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) session, wherein the first and second terminals create a session sharing key using the exchanged bio keys; creating a restored bio key by obtaining the biological information from data received by first and second terminals and performing a user certification by comparing the bio key with the restored bio key. | 06-03-2010 |
20110193982 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING AND REPRODUCING CAMERA VIDEO - A camera video processing/producing method and apparatus is provided. In the camera video processing method, an aspect ratio of a captured image is determined, and a horizontal/vertical image is rotated according to the display orientation of a preview screen of a camera according to the determination result. The rotation information of the horizontal/vertical image is set in a codec parameter, and the codec parameter and the image are encoded. | 08-11-2011 |
