The method for retransmitting data includes transmitting data by mapping the data to at least two channels according to the channel bonding, and retransmitting the data by changing a mapping scheme of the data to the at least two channels. | 11-07-2013 |
20140062917 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING ZOOM FUNCTION IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method and an apparatus for magnifying or demagnifying a display in an electronic device are provided. A method for controlling display includes detecting at least one first touch, determining a first region according to the at least one first touch, determining whether an area of the first region changes, when the area of the first region is maintained, determining whether the first touch point resides in a display control region, and when the first touch point resides in the display control region, magnifying or demagnifying a display by considering a location change of the first touch point. | 03-06-2014 |
20150127965 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLY FOR FINGERPRINT SENSOR, FINGERPRINT PROCESSING DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME - A method of controlling power supply for a fingerprint sensor is provided. The method includes receiving sensor data obtained from the fingerprint sensor; determining whether the received sensor data is a fingerprint form of data; if the received sensor data is the fingerprint form of data, determining an amount of change in sensor data received over a predetermined time is greater than or equal to a predetermined value; and if the received sensor data is not the fingerprint form of data or if the received sensor data is the fingerprint form of data but an amount of change in the received sensor data is less than the predetermined value, allowing the fingerprint sensor to enter a power saving mode. | 05-07-2015 |
20150139511 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING FINGERPRINT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - A method for operating of an electronic device is provided. The method includes: sensing an input on an input device, detecting one axis direction of a fingerprint input or to be input to a fingerprint sensor, based on the sensed input, determining whether the one axis direction of the fingerprint is consistent with a reference direction of a reference fingerprint, when the one axis direction is not consistent with the reference direction, making the one axis direction consistent with the reference direction, and determining whether the fingerprint is consistent with the reference fingerprint. | 05-21-2015 |
20150156676 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING RELAY APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - The present disclosure relates to an electronic apparatus for determining a relay apparatus and a method thereof. An electronic apparatus according to various embodiments includes a communication unit that transmits and receives data. The electronic apparatus also includes a controller that determines whether disconnection between an electronic apparatus operating as a relay apparatus and at least one client apparatus is expected. The control also, if the disconnection is expected, informs the at least one client apparatus of the expected disconnection. The control also determines whether a status of the electronic apparatus satisfies a condition for a change to a new relay apparatus and informs the at least one client apparatus that the electronic apparatus no longer operates as the relay apparatus if the condition for a change to a new relay apparatus is satisfied. The control also determines any one of the at least one client apparatus as the new relay apparatus. The control also informs the at least one client apparatus of the determination on the new relay apparatus. Further, other embodiments are possible. | 06-04-2015 |
20150220767 | METHOD FOR PROCESSING FINGERPRINT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - A method of operating an electronic device and the electronic device is provided. The method includes setting a fingerprint detecting area functionally connected to a display; identifying a function corresponding to a gesture of an input means input to the display, and determining whether to perform the function with fingerprint information acquired in the fingerprint detecting area. The electronic device includes a display configured to display at least one content; a memory configured to store at least one fingerprint information acquired in a fingerprint detecting area; the fingerprint detecting area functionally connected to the display; and at least one processor configured to set the fingerprint detecting area, identify a function corresponding to a gesture of an input means input to the display, and determine whether to perform the function with the at least one fingerprint information acquired in the fingerprint detecting area. | 08-06-2015 |
20150223145 | COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS SUPPORTING SELECTIVE COMMUNICATION SERVICES - A method for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes recognizing an access point located within a threshold range in which signals are transmittable/receivable from the electronic device, in order to connect the electronic device to an external network, determining whether the electronic device is currently moved based on information related to at least one of the access point and the external network, and deciding on whether to prevent connection of the electronic device to the access point based on a result of the determining whether the access point is currently moved. | 08-06-2015 |
