| 20090099693 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF EMOTIONAL ACTION EXPRESSION - A system for control of emotional action expression including an emotion engine for creating an emotion according to information provided from a plurality of sensors, and an emotional action expression/actuation control unit for detecting an emotion platform profile and an emotion property from the created emotion and determining the action expression corresponding to the created emotion to control a target actuator. A control unit controls the motion of the target actuator under the control of the emotional action expression/actuation control unit. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090153499 | TOUCH ACTION RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for recognizing a touch action that a person has performed upon an object, is provided with a sensor component for detecting a sensor value corresponding to the touch action through an inertial sensor attached to part of a body of the person; and a signal processing component for recognizing the touch action from the sensor value detected by the sensor component and transferring the recognized touch action to the object. Further, a method for recognizing a touch action that a person has performed upon an object, is provided with: detecting a sensor value corresponding to the touch action through an inertial sensor attached to part of a body of the person; and recognizing the touch action from the detected sensor value and transferring the recognized touch action to the object. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090248372 | METHOD OF MODELING COMPOSITE EMOTION IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL VECTOR SPACE - A method of modeling a composite emotion in a multidimensional vector space, is provided with creating an emotion vector space by defining dimensions of a vector space in consideration of stimuli affecting emotions, and dividing a defined multidimensional vector space into emotion regions. Further, the method of modeling a composite emotion in a multidimensional vector space includes creating a composite emotion by calculating a fuzzy partitioned matrix between a current state vector and respective representative vectors in the created emotion vector space. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090295546 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK COMMUNICATING SELECTIVELY USING INFRARED AND RADIO FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION - A wireless sensor network communication apparatus and method selectively using infrared and radio frequency communication. The wireless sensor network communication apparatus includes a first communicating unit, a second communication unit, and a wireless node processor. The first communicating unit wakens a neighboring node in a sleep mode and transmits/receives the woken node and sensor data. The second communicating unit transmits/receives the woken neighboring node and the sensor data. The wireless node processor is wakened from the sleep mode, wakens the neighboring node in the sleep mode, and transmits the sensor data with a minimum low power through one of the first and second communicating unit. Accordingly, the apparatus can perform the wireless sensor network communication with lower power compared to the case that communication is performed only by the radio frequency communication function. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20110144975 | TYPEWRITER SYSTEM AND TEXT INPUT METHOD USING MEDIATED INTERFACE DEVICE - Disclosed is a typewriter system and a text input method capable of accurately recognizing words by correcting words input using a mediated interface device based on a dictionary. A plurality of texts are combined by referencing a text recognition order set in which recognition results of texts are arranged according to a recognition order from texts input through the mediated interface device and the combined text is filtered using part index maps formed of part words that are an accumulated set of texts forming complete words. The part words passing through the part index maps is again filtered using a dictionary including context information formed of a set of words in a specific category, thereby making it possible to accurately recognize the words. The part words that cannot form words in a dictionary are removed in advance using the part index maps, thereby improving the recognition efficiency. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110148630 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SENSING PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAM AND FALL - Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for sensing photoplethysmogram and fall. According to the present invention, the apparatus and for sensing photoplethysmogram and fall may include: a sensor unit that senses acceleration and photoplethysmogram; a photoplethysmogram/fall determining module that synthetically tests sensed acceleration signals and photoplethysmogram signals sensed by the sensor unit to determine whether emergency occurs due to fall or emergency occurs due to photoplethysmogram; and a communication module that transmits the test results. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110148669 | THIMBLE-TYPE INTERMEDIATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING FINGER GESTURE USING THE SAME - Provided are a thimble-type intermediation device and a method for recognizing a finger gesture using the same. The thimble-type intermediation device includes: a motion sensing unit sensing a motion of a user's finger and generating the sensed result as motion data; a tactile sensing block sensing a tactile behavior of the user's finger and generating the sensed result as tactile data; a control unit recognizing the gesture and tactile behavior of the user's finger on the basis of the generated motion data and tactile data, and outputting the recognition result as recognition result information; and a wireless communication unit transmitting the recognition result information to a robot system. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110164823 | VIDEO OBJECT EXTRACTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method of extracting a foreground object image from a video sequence includes producing a reference background image by separating a background image from a frame image of the video sequence; producing edge information of the frame image and the reference background image; producing an edge difference image using the edge information; and extracting the foreground object image using the edge difference image based on the edge information. | 07-07-2011 |
