| 20090241171 | WEARABLE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD CONTROLLING INFORMATION/SERVICE IN WEARABLE COMPUTER SYSTEM - A wearable system and a method for transferring and controlling information/service based on biologically generated information from a user are provided. In the method, an intuitive bio signal generated by a user is sensed and a device pointed by the sensed bio signal is selected. Then, bio signal information is created using the sensed bio signal and the generated bio signal information is transmitted to the selected device. After transmitting, the information/service is transferred to the selected device after confirming that the selected device that receives the bio signal information is activated. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100245118 | MULTIMODAL FUSION APPARATUS CAPABLE OF REMOTELY CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND METHOD THEREOF - There are provided a multimodal fusion apparatus capable of remotely controlling a number of electronic devices and a method for remotely controlling a number of electronic devices in the multimodal fusion apparatus. In accordance with the present invention, instead of one input device, such as a remote control or the like, multimodal commands, such as user-familiar voice, gesture and the like, are used to remotely control a number of electronic devices equipped at home or within a specific space. That is, diverse electronic devices are controlled in the same manner by the multimodal commands. When a new electronic device is added, control commands thereof are automatically configured to control the new electronic device. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110054360 | FINGER MOTION DETECTING APPARATUS AND METHOD - The present invention relates to a finger-motion detecting apparatus and method and includes a sensing unit to be disposed on a wrist of a subject person, said sensing unit being configured to output a measurement signal into the wrist of the subject person and to receive a reflected signal of the measurement signal according to the motion of tendons in the wrist of the subject person, a signal control unit configured to control whether the measurement signal is outputted and to adjust the measurement signal on the basis of the reflected signal, and a finger-motion recognizing unit configured to detect finger motion of the subject person from the reflected signal. According to the present invention, since a sensor capable of detecting finger motion is worn on a wrist, the problem of inconvenience in existing methods is resolved. | 03-03-2011 |
