| 20090070223 | System and method for calculating postal charges - A system for calculating postal charges receives detailed information and configuration information about a bulk mail, and collects charge-calculation information on the basis of the detailed information and the configuration information. Then, the system determines discount rates for the bulk mail on the basis of the charge-calculation information, and generates charge information for the mails in consideration of the discount rates. Accordingly, the system for calculating postal charges can provide optimum charges for the mails to a client before the reception of the mails. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100145785 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING MILEAGE POINTS - A mileage point calculating system receives mail acceptance data including respective acceptance information of a plurality of mail groups and acceptance information of a combined mail group generated by combining the plurality of mail groups, determines a first combined fee generated by summing postage of the plurality of mail groups according to acceptance information of the plurality of mail groups, determines a second combined fee corresponding to postage of the combined mail group according to acceptance information of the combined mail group, and calculates a margin between the first combined fee and the second combined fee as mileage points | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100150398 | MULTILINGUAL ACCEPTANCE INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM BASED ON IMAGE RECOGNITION - Provided is an image recognition-based multilingual acceptance information processing method and system. In the case of processing incoming mail, when a domestic address is written in a foreign language, it is converted into a correct native address written in a native language that is then mapped on an attached barcode or a newly generated barcode. Also, when it is impossible to analyze the characters through character recognition, the read image information is transmitted to a remote video coding center, and a specialist converts it into a native language to map the information on the barcode. Further, when a mailman reads the barcode in the final delivery process, a detailed native address is displayed on a display device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA). | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100151836 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING MAIL ACCEPTANCE INFORMATION BASED ON VOICE RECOGNITION - Provided is a voice recognition based acceptance information acquiring method and system. The system includes an acquiring module generating voice acceptance information by acquiring acceptance information corresponding to the mail by a user's voice; a converting module for extracting address information corresponding to a destination address of the mail from the voice acceptance information, and converting the extracted address information into voice address information; a matching module for generating computerized acceptance information by matching the voice address information and stored address information; a checking module for checking whether the computerized acceptance information corresponds to the user's voice information; and a receiving module for receiving an acceptance number corresponding to the computerized acceptance information. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20100210284 | METHOD OF MANAGING PAGING GROUP - The present invention relates to a method of managing a paging group in a mobile terminal that is in an idle mode. A method of managing a paging group according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes: collecting paging group ID information including paging group levels and local IDs; determining, on the basis of the collected paging group ID information, whether or not a location update occurs; and if it is determined that the location update occurs, comparing a location update cycle according to a location update time with a threshold value, selecting a paging group level on the basis of the comparison result, and selecting a paging group corresponding to the selected paging group level. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110078730 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING RADIO ACCESS TO REDUCE CHANNEL ZAPPING DELAY - Provided is a method and apparatus for scheduling a radio access to reduce a channel zapping delay. The radio access scheduling method may receive abstract information with respect to all of currently receivable channels at each channel scheduling interval, and may receive the abstract information in advance and provide the abstract information when a channel change request is received, and thereby reduce the channel zapping delay. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110149830 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST AND MULTICAST SERVICE BASED ON USER LOCATION - Provided is a multimedia broadcast and multicast service controlling apparatus and method based on a user location. The multimedia broadcast and multicast service controlling apparatus may receive MCCH information, may periodically update a service list of a mobile terminal based on the received MCCH information, the service list listing services that are providable, may register a service in a pending list when the service is not included in the updated service list and is requested to be provided, and may provide the service registered in the pending list when the mobile terminal reaches a location where the mobile terminal may provide the service registered in the pending list. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20100036556 | AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT CAPABLE OF DETOURING OBSTACLE AND METHOD THEREOF - Provided are an autonomous mobile robot capable of detouring an obstacle, and a method thereof. The autonomous mobile robot includes a moving object; an extension unit connected to the moving object and extending in proportion to a pulling force of the moving object; a drive unit moving the autonomous mobile robot toward the moving object corresponding to the pulling force of the object connected to the extension unit; a route information obtaining unit obtaining route information according to an extension length to which the extension unit extends corresponding to the pulling force of the moving object; an obstacle detecting unit detecting presence of an obstacle placed within a predetermined distance in a moving direction of the autonomous mobile robot that is being led by the moving object; and a control unit controlling the drive unit such that the autonomous mobile robot moves along a route based on the route information. Accordingly, collision between the obstacle and the autonomous mobile robot can be prevented, and the autonomous mobile robot can naturally detour the obstacle. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100049366 | SURROUNDINGS MAPPING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF APPLYING QUICKLY CHANGED SURROUNDINGS INFORMATION IN MOBILE ROBOT AND METHOD THEREOF - A method of responding to environmental change to build an environment map of a mobile apparatus and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. The apparatus includes a traveling unit traveling a mobile apparatus according to a command, a distance measuring unit measuring a distance from the mobile apparatus to a moving object, an environment map-generating unit generating an environment map based on a measured distance, a moving object detecting unit detecting the moving object moved after generating the environment map by comparing a distance from the mobile apparatus to the moving object with the newly measured distance, and a controlling unit updating the environment map according to the command by selectively applying changed environment information containing the moving object to the built environment map when the moving object is detected. Thus, the changed environmental information can be rapidly and precisely applied to build the environment map. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100121488 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING INDOOR ENVIRONMENT MAP - A method of creating an indoor environment map includes acquiring encoded position information by detecting revolutions of wheels when a mobile unit travels using encoders to predict a position of the mobile unit based on the encoded position information, acquiring a measured distance from the mobile unit to an object existing in a surrounding environment using the distance measuring sensor, predicting a position of the mobile unit to be moved, estimating a distance from the mobile unit to the object at the predicted position of the mobile unit, determining whether the estimated distance is matched with the measured distance, correcting the predicted position of the mobile unit to estimate a position of the mobile unit to be moved by the matching of the predicted position with the measured position, and creating the indoor environment map using the corrected position and the measured distance. | 05-13-2010 |
