| 20080299901 | METHOD OF TRANSMITTING CONTENT BETWEEN APPARATUSES AND CONTENT TRANSMISSION APPARATUS - A method of obtaining identification information, and based on the obtained identification, wirelessly transmitting content between apparatuses, and a content transmission apparatus are provided. The method obtains the identification information on a content reception apparatus or a content backup apparatus by using an affordance function of a content transmission apparatus or a content providing apparatus. The method and the content transmission apparatus include obtaining identification information on a second apparatus by using a first apparatus; outputting confirmation information on the second apparatus from the first apparatus, based on the obtained identification information on the second apparatus; and wirelessly transmitting the content from the first apparatus to the second apparatus, so as to enable the content to be conveniently transmitted between the apparatuses and to provide easy accessibility to a content reception apparatus. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080303684 | CONTENT REPRODUCING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A content reproducing method and a content reproducing apparatus capable of continuously reproducing content by searching for an apparatus having optimal capabilities for reproducing the content, when a plurality of content reproducing apparatuses with similar functions are located within a short range of each other. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090009626 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING IMAGE FILE HAVING OBJECT INFORMATION - Provided are a method and an apparatus for generating an image file having information about an object. The method of generating the image file having the object information includes the operations of generating image data by taking a picture of the object; receiving the object information from the object through a network; and storing the object information in an image file together with the image data. Accordingly, when a photographing apparatus capable of perform wireless communications generates image data by taking a picture of an object having a wireless communication module, object information is received from the object through wireless communications and is stored together with image data. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090011707 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING NEIGHBORING DEVICE - A method and apparatus for identifying a neighboring device are provided. The method of identifying a neighboring device, which is performed in a user terminal, includes: obtaining identification information and location information of a plurality of neighboring devices that can wirelessly communicate with the user terminal; extracting the identification information of one of the neighboring devices, the neighboring device being in the actual location range within the field of vision of the user terminal; and using the extracted identification information to request that the neighboring device perform wireless communication with the user terminal. According to the method and apparatus, identification information of a neighboring device with which a user terminal desires to perform wireless communication can be obtained using a viewfinder or liquid crystal display of the user terminal. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090011772 | MOBILE TERMINAL APPARATUS, METHOD, AND SERVER FOR SHARING CONTENTS - A mobile terminal apparatus and method for sharing contents are provided. The mobile terminal apparatus includes a storage unit storing location information on an area; a location determination unit for determining a location of the mobile terminal apparatus; a network unit forming a network with one or more other mobile terminal apparatuses in the area; a control unit checking whether the mobile terminal apparatus has entered the area, based on the location information on the area and the determined location; and a screen configuration unit configuring a screen for providing information indicating locations of the one or more other mobile terminal apparatuses; wherein the control unit controls the network unit whereby the network unit obtains contents contained in one of the one or more other mobile terminal apparatuses, wherein the one mobile terminal apparatus is selected based on the information displayed on the screen and indicating the locations of the one or more other mobile terminal apparatuses. According to the apparatus and method, it is possible for users to share and watch user-created private media in real-time using bidirectional networking. Therefore, efficiency of media usage is increased. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090282358 | DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING A WIDGET WINDOW AND A METHOD THEREOF - A display apparatus for displaying a widget window and method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a generating unit which generates at least one widget window, a display unit which displays the least one widget window generated by the generating unit on a screen, and a control unit which changes a display pattern of the widget window, if a preset event occurs. Accordingly, the display patterns of widget windows are changed according to a user's preference, making it possible to increase the user's convenience. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090300146 | DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING WIDGET WINDOWS, DISPLAY SYSTEM INCLUDING THE DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND A DISPLAY METHOD THEREOF - A method for displaying widget windows is provided, including generating a widget display screen including at least one widget window, determining if a display area of the at least one widget window satisfies a preset threshold condition, and adding a new widget display screen including a new widget window if the threshold condition is satisfied. Accordingly, services can be provided through widget windows without preventing the viewer from viewing the TV, thereby enhancing user convenience. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20120019631 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPRODUCING 3D CONTENT - A method and apparatus for displaying an alternative object while reproducing three-dimensional (3D) content. The method includes reproducing the 3D content; during the reproducing of the 3D content, detecting an interrupt signal; determining a maximum depth value of the 3D content in response to detecting of the interrupt signal; adjusting a depth value of the 3D content according to the maximum depth value; and controlling a 3D content reproducing apparatus to display the alternative object corresponding to the interrupt signal, wherein the alternative object overlaps the 3D content of which the depth value is adjusted. | 01-26-2012 |
