20130093668 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING CALLIGRAPHED WRITING MESSAGE - Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving a calligraphed writing message. Writing data is receiving as input at a transmitting apparatus. The writing data is sampled to generate character frame data having a plurality of point data. Calligraphy control point data is generated using the character frame data. The calligraphed writing message including the calligraphy control point data is generated and transmitted to a receiving apparatus. A calligraphy outline is generated at the receiving apparatus for generation of a calligraphed writing image using the calligraphy control point data from the calligraphed writing message. Graphic processing is performed on the calligraphy outline. The calligraphed writing image is generated and displayed. | 04-18-2013 |
20130127758 | TOUCH INPUT APPARATUS AND METHOD IN USER TERMINAL - A touch input apparatus and method in a user terminal is provided. The apparatus includes a touch input unit for generating a touch input event according to a touch of a user; a single or multi touch input determiner for entering a drawing mode according to the touch input event and determining one of a single touch input and a multi-touch input; a touch point sampling unit for performing a touch point sampling according to a single touch movement and providing a sample point for a drawing when there is a single touch input; and a multi-touch processor for, when there is a multi-touch input, entering a multi-touch mode and performing a multi-touch action including at least one of an enlargement, a reduction, and a movement of a drawing screen according to a multi-touch movement. | 05-23-2013 |
20130148899 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING A CHARACTER BASED ON A PHOTOGRAPHED IMAGE - An apparatus and method for recognizing a character based on a photographed image. The apparatus includes an image determining unit, an image effect unit, a binarizing unit and a character recognizing unit. The image determining unit is configured to select, from an input image, a Region Of Interest (ROI) to be used for image analysis when the input image is input, and to analyse the selected ROI to determine a type of the input image. The image effect unit is configured to apply to the input image, an image effect for distinguishing a character region and a background region in a display screen if the type of the input image indicates that the input image is obtained by photographing a display screen. The binarizing unit is configured to binarize the input image or the output of the image effect unit according to the determined type of the input image. The character recognizing unit is configured to recognize a character from the binarized input image. | 06-13-2013 |

The method includes storing at least one character data item and at least one character feature information item corresponding to respective character data; detecting upon input of a first touch-and-drag, at least one first feature information item from a trajectory drawn according to the input first touch-and-drag; comparing the detected at least one first feature information item with the at least one character feature information item; detecting at least one first character data candidate having at least one same character feature information item as the detected at least one first feature information item; and displaying the detected at least one first character data candidate. | 08-15-2013 |
20130215151 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ENCODING AND DECODING IMAGE FILES - An apparatus and method for encoding an image file is provided. The method includes generating an animation object according to a user input; generating animation data including the animation object; generating image data that is reproducible independently from the animation data; generating an integrated image file, which includes the image data and the animation data; and storing the generated integrated image file in a memory. | 08-22-2013 |
20130241945 | GRAPHIC PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR UPDATING GRAPHIC EDITING SCREEN AND METHOD THEREOF - A graphic processing apparatus for updating a graphic screen and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes an object information calculator for calculating object information of an object input into the graphic screen; an object area calculator for calculating object area information of the input object; and a controller for storing object management information matched with the calculated object information and the calculated object area information, updating object management information of an object edited by an object editing, and then updating the graphic screen by using the updated object management information. | 09-19-2013 |
20140092101 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING ANIMATED EMOTICON - An apparatus and method for producing an animated emoticon are provided. The method includes producing a plurality of frames that constitute the animated emoticon; inputting at least one object for each of the plurality of frames; producing object information for the input object; and producing structured animated emoticon data that include each of the plurality frames and the object information. | 04-03-2014 |
20140340307 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOOGNIZING SUBJECT MOTION USING A CAMERA - A method and an apparatus are provided for displaying pictures according to hand motion inputs. An application is executed for displaying a picture from among a sequence of pictures on a display. Groups of skin color blocks corresponding to a hand are detected from among image frames output from a camera. A motion is detected among the groups of skin color blocks. Direction information is obtained on the detected motion. The application is controlled to display a previous picture or a next picture in the sequence of pictures on the display according to the direction information. | 11-20-2014 |
