| 20080297390 | Digital-to-analog converter and method thereof - An integrated circuit may include an operation amplifier, a first capacitor, a plurality of second capacitors, and/or a switching circuit. The operational amplifier may have a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and/or an output terminal. The first capacitor may have a first terminal and a second terminal. The second terminal of the first capacitor may be connected to the first input terminal of the operational amplifier. The plurality of second capacitors may each have a first terminal and a second terminal. The second terminal of each of the second capacitors may be connected to the second input terminal of the operational amplifier. The switching circuit may include a plurality of switches configured to switch in response to a plurality of switching signals. The switching circuit may be configured to transmit a reference voltage to the first terminal of the first capacitor and the first terminals of the second capacitors and/or connect the first input terminal of the operational amplifier to the output terminal of the operational amplifier during a first period. The switching circuit maybe configured to isolate the first terminal of the first capacitor from the reference voltage, transmit a voltage selected from at least two selection voltages to the first terminals of the second capacitors, and/or connect the first terminal of the first capacitor to the output terminal of the operational amplifier during a second period. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080309538 | DIGITAL/ANALOG CONVERTING DRIVER AND METHOD - A digital/analog converting driver and a digital/analog converting method, in which the digital/analog converting driver converts digital data having M+N (M and N are integers) bits into an analog voltage and includes a first converting unit, a second converting unit, and an analog voltage outputting unit. The first converting unit converts successive M bits of the digital data into a first voltage. The second converting unit converts successive N bits of the digital data into a second voltage. The analog voltage outputting unit adds the first voltage and the second voltage and outputs the added voltage as the analog voltage. The output range of the first voltage is different from that of the second voltage. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080208376 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING PORTABLE AUDIO DEVICE - A method to control a portable audio device in a power-saving mode using a wireless headset includes transmitting a host wake-up signal (HOST_WAKEUP) according to a signal requesting reproduction of music transmitted from the wireless headset, transmitting a control signal corresponding to the host wake-up signal, and controlling the portable audio device according to the control signal to switch the portable audio device out of the power-saving mode and to supply power to at least one component in the portable audio device used to reproduce music | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090275345 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION INFORMATION AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING LOCATION BASED SERVICE AND METHOD FOR USING LOCATION BASED SERVICE - A location information providing apparatus to provide a location thereof, the location information providing apparatus including: a storage unit to store location information regarding the location of the location information providing apparatus; and a transmitter to transmit the location information. Therefore, precise location information can be provided. In addition, a location-based service can be performed in a simple way because there is no need to consider a handoff depending on a movement of a location-based service supporting apparatus, and a service area can be expanded abroad because a wired network is not required. Also, various opportunities using the location-based service can be realized. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090281716 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAP-UPDATING OF NAVIGATION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for map-updating of a navigation system by automatically generating point of interest (POI) data that is not registered and automatically generating a POP alias of POI data that is already registered, the method including: logging at least one piece of point of interest (POI) data if the POI data input in order to find a destination is not found in the navigation terminal; and registering the logged at least one piece of POI data as a candidate POI alias of newly input POI data if a destination designated by the navigation terminal according to the newly input POI data is equal to an arrived destination. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110107117 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACTIVATING DEVICE - Method and apparatus for activating a slave device are provided. The method including: receiving communication medium scan signals comprising a slave device identifier; controlling a main power supply when the slave device is in an inactive state; determining whether the slave device is completely booted; and executing an upper layer communication when the slave device is completely booted. | 05-05-2011 |
