| 20100169773 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING GUI USING POINTER WITH SENSUOUS EFFECT THAT POINTER IS MOVED BY GRAVITY AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS THEREOF - A method for providing a GUI which uses a pointer with a sensuous effect showing that the pointer is moved by gravity is provided. The GUI providing method moves a pointer toward a specific position of a GUI-component if the pointer enters the GUI-component, and outputs at least one of an auditory effect and a tactile effect while the pointer moves toward the specific position. Accordingly, the user moves the pointer to the GUI-component more easily and enjoys entertainment. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100169839 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING GUI USING POINTER HAVING VISUAL EFFECT SHOWING THAT POINTER IS MOVED BY GRAVITY AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS THEREOF - A method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) using a pointer having a visual effect showing that the pointer is moved by gravity is provided. If the pointer is determined to be placed on a first area, the pointer is moved according to user's manipulation, and if the pointer is determined to be placed on a second area, the pointer is moved to another position. Accordingly, convenience and entertainment are provided to the user who manipulates the pointer. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100179812 | SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF RECOGNIZING A VOICE COMMAND THEREOF - Provided are an apparatus and method for recognizing voice commands, the apparatus including: a voice command recognition unit which recognizes an input voice command; a voice command recognition learning unit which learns a recognition-targeted voice command; and a controller which controls the voice command recognition unit to recognize the recognition-targeted voice command from an input voice command, controls the voice command recognition learning unit to learn the input voice command if the voice command recognition is unsuccessful, and performs a particular operation corresponding to the recognized voice command if the voice command recognition is successful. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100253695 | DISPLAY METHOD FOR DETERMINING ATTRIBUTE OF IMAGE TO BE PROJECTED, ACCORDING TO USER'S MANIPULATION ON IMAGE PROJECTION SCREEN, AND DISPLAY APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A display method for determining an attribute of an image to be projected, according to a manipulation performed by a user on an image projection surface, and a display apparatus using the display method are provided. The display method includes determining an attribute of an image to be projected, according to a manipulation performed by a user on a predetermined object onto which the image is to be projected. Therefore, it is possible to set and/or change the attribute of the image, such as the location and size of a projected image, more conveniently and intuitively. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100268538 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND VOICE RECOGNITION METHOD FOR THE SAME - Disclosed are an electronic apparatus and a voice recognition method for the same. The voice recognition method for the electronic apparatus includes: receiving an input voice of a user; determining characteristics of the user; and recognizing the input voice based on the determined characteristics of the user. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110050840 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIDEO CALL - Provided are an apparatus, system and method for facilitating a video call between a first caller and a second caller, the apparatus including: an image sensor which captures an image of the first caller; a display which displays an image of the second caller; a microphone which captures audio input by the first caller; a speaker which plays audio input by the second caller; a detector which is operable to determine a location of the first caller; and a controller which controls the detector to determine the location as corresponding to an original location, wherein if the first caller changes from the original location to a new location, the controller controls the detector to determine the location as being the new location and controls the microphone to readjust based on the determined new location of the first caller. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110063321 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - An image processing apparatus includes: an image processing unit which processes and displays an image; a recognizing unit which recognizes a pointing operation input from a pointing device; and a control unit which executes during an execution a predetermined function when a first pointing operation which selects the predetermined function and a second pointing operation which confirms whether to execute the selected predetermined function are input from the pointing device, and controls the image processing unit to process the image in response to the execution of the predetermined function. With this configuration, it is possible to more precisely detect a pointing operation input from a pointing device according to user's intention and allow a user to serve the user's intention using the pointing device. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110122326 | PRESENTATION RECORDING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Provided are an apparatus and method thereof for recording a presentation. The presentation recording apparatus includes: a projector operable to project an original image of a presentation onto a screen; a camera operable to capture the image of the presentation projected onto the screen and a light of a pointing device which is irradiated onto the screen; a memory; and a controller, wherein if the projector projects the image of the presentation onto the screen, the controller controls the camera to capture the image of the presentation projected onto the screen, determines coordinate information corresponding to a position of the light of the pointing device irradiated onto the screen, and controls the memory to store the original image of the presentation together with the determined coordinate information. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110131502 | USER LOCATION-BASED DISPLAY METHOD AND APPARATUS - A user location-based display method and apparatus are provided. The display method includes the steps of determining a location of a user relative to a display apparatus, configuring and displaying a screen based on the location of the user, selectively extracting user information based on the location of the user, and changing the displayed screen based on the extracted user information. As a result, a realistic interaction is possible between the display apparatus and the user, and the user is provided with contents in a very effective manner. The user location-based display apparatus includes a location recognizing unit which determines a location of a user relative to the display apparatus. A control unit causes a screen to be configured and displayed based on the location of the user; causes user information to be selectively extracted based on the location of the user, and is configured to cause a displayed screen to be changed based on the extracted user information. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110193933 | Apparatus, System and Method for Video Call - An apparatus, system and method for implementing a video call between a first caller and a second caller are provided. The apparatus includes: an image sensor which captures an image of the first caller; a display which displays an image of the second caller; a microphone which captures an audio input by the first caller; a speaker which outputs an audio input by the second caller; a detector which is configured to determine a location of the first caller; and a controller which controls the detector to determine the location of the first caller as corresponding to an original location, wherein in response to the first caller changing a location from the original location to a new location, the controller controls the detector to determine the location of the first caller as being the new location, and controls the microphone to adjust a configuration of the microphone based on the new location of the first caller. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110267260 | INTERACTIVE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - Provided are an interactive display apparatus and method for operating an interactive display apparatus, the apparatus including: a capturing unit operable to capture an image including a displayed image which is displayed on a display screen and a light of a pointing device irradiated onto the display screen; a memory which stores the captured image; a detection unit which determines coordinate information for the light of the pointing device irradiated onto the display screen based on the captured image; and a controller which determines whether the light of the pointing device is moved outside of the displayed image based on the coordinate information, and controls the apparatus to perform a predetermined operation from among a plurality of predetermined operations if the light of the pointing device is moved outside of the displayed image. | 11-03-2011 |
