Abstract:
A mobile terminal for picture calls and a power-saving method thereof are provided to minimize the current consumption of a camera module and increase picture call time by supplying a power-saving clock, created by lowering the frequency of a main clock for the driving of a camera, to the camera module in power-saving mode. A mobile terminal which executes a picture call using a camera module(100) comprises a main control part(210) and a clock supply part(213). The main control part(210) instructs the clock supply part(213) to drive the camera module(100) with a power-saving clock, created by lowering the frequency of a main clock for the driving of the camera module(100), when a power-saving mode is enabled. The clock supply part(213) creates the power-saving clock according to the control of the main control part(210) and drives the camera module(100).
Abstract:
An application management method of a mobile communications terminal recording the unique ID of an application within a user identity module card is provided to change a mobile communications service provider or a mobile communications terminal. A unique ID of an application stored within a user identification module card is read out in an ID recognition step(S310). The application downloaded from the contents server in which application is stored recognized by using unique ID of application(S320). The recognized application is downloaded in the embedded memory of the mobile communications terminal(S330). The application is performed on the mobile platform mounted in the mobile communications terminal.
Abstract:
A DMB terminal selectively having an external antenna is provided to ensure the reception quality of a DMB signal according to reception areas by selectively using an embedded antenna or an external antenna. A digital multimedia broadcasting(DMB) terminal includes an embedded antenna receiving path(100), an external antenna receiving path(200), and a signal processing path(300). The embedded antenna receiving path(100) has an embedded antenna to receive a DMB signal. The external antenna receiving path(200) has an external antenna installed in an ear-phone or a head-phone, and is connected to the DMB terminal through a jack. The signal processing path(300) selectively receives the broadcasting signal from the embedded antenna receiving path(100) or the external antenna receiving path(200) through the switching operation to process the DMB signal.
Abstract:
A mouse device equipped with a camera and a portable terminal having the same are provided to enhance user convenience by enabling the portable terminal to provide a mouse function with the camera without adding any device to the portable terminal. An image processing module(23) receives the predetermined number of frame images per a second from the camera(10) and calculates first position information corresponding to a first frame from each frame image having the smaller number of pixels than the pixels of the frame image received from the camera. The image processing module calculates second position information corresponding to a second frame continued to the first frame based on the first position information and outputs the second position information. An image preprocessor(21) for reducing the number of pixels of the frame image received from the camera is installed between the camera and the image processing module. The mouse is equipped with more than one key and outputs corresponding button click information if the key is manipulated.
Abstract:
A portable terminal is provided to adopt various text input methods according to a user's selection. A portable terminal comprises a main body, a display part, and a keypad module(40). The keypad module(40), separably coupled with the main body, comprises a plurality of buttons(25). The main body creates an input signal when an arbitrary button, formed at the keypad module(40), is pressed. The main body comprises a front cover(27) and the second keypad(35). The front cover(27) has a plurality of penetration holes(31) and guide bosses(29). The guide bosses(29) are formed at both sides of the front cover(27). The second keypad(35), coupled to the inner side of the main body, has push parts(36). The push parts(36), respectively exposed through the penetration holes(31), press dome-type conductors formed on a main PCB. The main body, if the keypad module(40) is installed, recognizes a text input type corresponding to the keypad module(40). The keypad module(40) comprises the first keypad(23) and a front plate(19). The first keypad(23) comprises the buttons(25). The front plate(19), at which insertion holes(21) are formed so that the buttons can be exposed to the external, comprises the guide slots(20), into which the guide bosses(29) are inserted.

Abstract:
A mobile terminal having a bluetooth module is disclosed. The mobile terminal comprising an input unit positioned on the terminal for receiving outside sound signals and a codec positioned between the bluetooth module and the input unit can be connected to A/V devices to receive sound wirelessly.
Abstract:
A user terminal for running a plurality of applications simultaneously is disclosed. In the method for running a plurality of applications simultaneously in accordance with the present invention, a first application is run in a foreground mode in accordance with an inputted first operation start command, and then the operation mode of the first application is switched to a background mode if a mode conversion command is inputted. Then, a second application in accordance with an inputted second operation start command can be run in the foreground mode. With the present invention, a plurality of applications can be run simultaneously in a separate operation mode, maximizing the convenience of the user.
