| 20080285690 | ELECTRIC FIELD STATE DETERMINATION METHOD FOR DIGITAL MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST AND PORTABLE DEVICE USING THE SAME - A method for accurately estimating the received signal strength of a broadcast system and a portable device that may receive broadcast signals using the received signal strength estimation method are provided. An electric field state determination method for digital multimedia broadcast includes determining a current electric field on the digital broadcast channel based on at least one of whether generation of a transport stream is detected, a result of a comparison between a current buffering rate of a buffer and a threshold buffering rate, and a variation of a number of RGB frames accumulated in a buffer. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080307530 | Right object acquisition method and system - A batch rights objects (ROs) acquisition method and system is provided to enable a mobile terminal to acquire multiple rights objects in a batch processing manner. A rights object acquisition method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes transmitting a rights object request message requesting one or more rights objects of content objects from a mobile terminal to a rights issuer; creating, at the rights issuer, a rights object response message containing at least one of rights objects indicated by the rights object request message and at least one signature in response to the rights object request message; and transmitting the rights object response message from the rights issuer to the mobile terminal. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090013352 | PROGRAM GUIDE DATA DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DIGITAL BROADCAST RECEIVER - A program guide data decoding method for a digital broadcast receiver includes detecting a request to decode structural data including a data unit and decoding the structural data using a template that matches the structure of the data unit when the matching template exists. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090013363 | BROADCAST SYSTEM AND BROADCAST RECEPTION METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREOF - A broadcast playback method includes receiving a first format of a broadcast stream transmitted by a broadcast station over a first radio network, playing the first format of the broadcast stream through demodulation and decoding processes, receiving a second format of the broadcast stream over a second radio network when the first radio network is unavailable, and playing the second format of the broadcast stream. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090055873 | ADVERTISEMENT-FREE PROGRAM RECORDING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICE - An advertisement-free program recording method and system is provided for recording a broadcast program excluding advertisement breaks. A program recording method of the present invention includes reserving a duration of time or program to be recorded; receiving broadcast data in the duration; recording the received broadcast data; determining whether advertisement data is detected in the received broadcast data; stopping recording the broadcast data when advertisement data is detected; and restarting recording the broadcast data when no advertisement data is detected. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090268077 | Method for controlling a camera mode in a portable terminal - Disclosed is a camera control method for a portable terminal, by which a lens unit of a camera of the portable terminal can be automatically drawn into or out of the portable terminal when a call is received in a camera mode of the portable terminal. The method comprises the steps of: determining if a call is received in the camera mode in which a lens unit of the portable terminal has been drawn out of the portable terminal; controlling the lens unit to be automatically drawn into the portable terminal while reporting call reception when the call is received; shifting the portable terminal into a communication mode and performing communication when a communication key is input; shifting the portable terminal into an initial camera mode when the initial camera mode is selected after the communication is performed and shifting the portable terminal into a previous camera mode when the previous camera mode is selected after the communication is performed; and interrupting call reception and controlling the lens unit to be automatically drawn out of the portable terminal while maintaining the camera mode when a cancel key is selected. | 10-29-2009 |
