20080291171 | Character input apparatus and method - Provided is a character input method and apparatus. The character input method includes assigning character groups, each of which includes at least two characters, to at least two key regions generated by dividing a region of the touch screen and displaying the character groups in the corresponding key regions, based on one-to-one correspondence, if a press event occurs in one of the key regions, enlarging and displaying characters included in the key region where the press event occurs, determining whether one of a release event and a drag event occurs in one of the key regions where the characters are displayed enlarged, if it is determined that the drag event occurs, indicating the key region where the drag event occurs according to distance and direction of the drag event, and if the release event occurs in the indicated key region, outputting characters included in the indicated key region on the touch screen. Thus, a user can easily find a desired character and accurately input the character, thereby performing key input more conveniently and quickly. | 11-27-2008 |
20100105412 | Apparatus and method for providing position information in a mobile communication system - A method and an apparatus for providing position information in a mobile communication system includes setting, at a mobile communication terminal which requests to provide the position information, a position condition to provide the position information. The mobile communication terminal generates a message including the position condition, and sends the generated message to a correspondent terminal of which the position information is to be acquired. The mobile communications terminal also receives a position information request message including the position condition from a correspondent terminal, determines whether the position condition is violated or not by periodically acquiring its position information, and sends a message informing of the position information violation to the correspondent terminal when the position condition is violated. | 04-29-2010 |
20100130235 | Apparatus and method for providing map service using global positioning service in a moble terminal - An apparatus and method for providing a map service using a global positioning service in a mobile terminal includes determining a current position of the mobile terminal. A moving path of the mobile terminal is recorded. If content for key point marking are generated, a tag icon corresponding to the content is inserted into a point representing the current position of the mobile terminal. A map message includes the moving path, the tag icon, and the content. | 05-27-2010 |
20110077023 | Apparatus and method for providing position information in a mobile communication system - A method and an apparatus for providing position information in a mobile communication system includes setting, at a mobile communication terminal which requests to provide the position information, a position condition to provide the position information. The mobile communication terminal generates a message including the position condition, and sends the generated message to a correspondent terminal of which the position information is to be acquired. The mobile communications terminal also receives a position information request message including the position condition from a correspondent terminal, determines whether the position condition is violated or not by periodically acquiring its position information, and sends a message informing of the position information violation to the correspondent terminal when the position condition is violated. | 03-31-2011 |
20120030379 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSITING TERMINAL FUNCTION BETWEEN PORTABLE TERMINAL AND PERIPHERAL APPARATUS - An apparatus and method support transitioning a terminal function between a portable terminal and a peripheral device. A terminal function transition is requested to one or more peripheral devices. Transition data including information regarding configuration of a terminal function is transmitted to the one or more peripheral devices, such that when the terminal function cannot be performed, at least one of the one or more peripheral devices is to perform the terminal function based on the information regarding configuration of the terminal function. | 02-02-2012 |
20120284342 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING DEVICES - A system and method is capable e of connecting devices including receiving from a first device a request to select a plurality of second devices according to predetermined conditions required by the first device. The system also can generate a virtual device channel for connecting the plurality of second devices to the first device. | 11-08-2012 |
20150106297 | USER TERMINAL DEVICE, INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION - A user terminal device, an information providing system, and a method of providing information thereof are provided. The method for providing information in a user terminal device includes registering contact information in an address list according to a user's input, transmitting an event of registering the contact information to an external server, in response to profile information which corresponds to the contact information being received from the server, storing contact information registered in the address list and the profile information in association with each other, and in response to a display item which corresponds to the contact information being selected while the address list is displayed, displaying the profile information. | 04-16-2015 |
20150215451 | TERMINAL, SERVER, AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THE STATUS OF USERS OF TERMINALS - A terminal, a server, and a method for managing information about a status of a terminal user are provided. The method includes receiving an identifier of a second terminal of a counterpart user from a first terminal of a first user, receiving information about a status of the counterpart user from the second terminal using the received identifier of the second terminal, and transmitting the received information about the status of the counterpart user to the first terminal. | 07-30-2015 |
