Abstract:
An apparatus and method for displaying file information through geographical conversion of a graphical user interface (GUI) are provided. In the apparatus and method, basic information on a file selected from among a plurality of files displayed on a screen is geometrically converted and detailed information on the selected file is displayed. The apparatus includes a basic information extractor extracting basic information on a file, a command receiver receiving a display command signal regarding detailed information on the file, a detailed information extractor extracting the detailed information on the file according to the display command signal, an information changer changing the extracted basic information to the extracted detailed information using geometrical conversion, and a display unit displaying at least one among the basic information on the file, a procedure of the geometrical conversion of the basic information, and the detailed information on the file.
Abstract:
Provided are a multimedia reproducing/recording device and a method of selecting a multimedia reproducing/recording device and multimedia contents and reproducing/recording the multimedia contents more quickly and easily. Method includes: receiving a numeric code from an external source; and interpreting the numeric code and extracting a device identifier corresponding to a predetermined reproducing/recording device and/or a contents identifier corresponding to contents to be reproduced/recorded by the reproducing/recording device. Method further includes activating the reproducing/recording device using the device identifier; and selecting contents to be reproduced/recorded using the contents identifier and reproducing/recording the contents. In addition, the method further includes: receiving a device activation command that contains the device identifier; and receiving a contents reproducing/recording command that contains the contents identifier. Since the method is simple and easy, a user can easily use an AV device without having to learn a complicated method of selecting contents using menus and remote control keys.
Abstract:
A method for indicating a direction of content transfer intuitively and a device applying the same includes determining directions in which surrounding devices of the device are located, and a direction to which the content on a display of the device is to be moved, and transferring the content to the surrounding device located in the determined direction. Accordingly, it is possible to select a device to receive the content more easily and intuitively, and also input a command to select the device to receive the content and to transfer the content with one single manipulation.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for editing a display of a touch display apparatus. A first screen including at least one object is displayed. An object on the first screen is designated. The touch display apparatus is converted to an edit mode for editing the display, when the object is designated. When a movement of the touch display apparatus is detected, the first screen is converted into a second screen according to at least one of a degree and a direction of the movement. The designated object is displayed on the second screen.
Abstract:
Provided are a terminal having a radio frequency identification (RFID) function and a method of processing information of the terminal for allowing intuitive interaction between a screen manipulation and an RFID manipulation with respect to using an RFID related service. The method of processing the information of the terminal including a screen and an RFID recognition unit, includes detecting a screen area corresponding to a position of the RFID recognition unit disposed at a predetermined position of the screen; displaying an RFID icon at a position of the detected screen area; recording information in an RFID tag based on the RFID tag contacting the RFID icon, and recognizing the information from the RFID tag the RFID tag contacting the RFID icon.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for editing a display of a touch display apparatus. A first screen including at least one object is displayed. An object on the first screen is designated. The touch display apparatus is converted to an edit mode for editing the display, when the object is designated. When a movement of the touch display apparatus is detected, the first screen is converted into a second screen according to at least one of a degree and a direction of the movement. The designated object is displayed on the second screen.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for displaying various types of touch screen keyboards at various positions according to an information input condition of a user. The method includes recognizing a point on a touch screen which a reference finger of at least one hand of a user touches, and displaying a touch screen keyboard including keys arranged according to the recognized point. Accordingly, a user-based touch screen keyboard which can be easily used, allow information to be quickly input, and reduce touch error, can be provided.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for adjusting scrolling speed according to the location of an item currently being highlighted on a screen in a block containing the item. The method includes: measuring a distance between the item currently being highlighted on the screen and a last item of the block containing the item; and reducing the scrolling speed if the measured distance is smaller than a predefined value. Therefore, it is possible for a user to identify the location of desired data while quickly scrolling through a considerable amount of data on a screen.
Abstract:
A method of controlling at least one controlled device at an external device outside a network including a control device and the controlled device is provided. The method includes transmitting a message accepting a control request requesting to control the controlled device in a session established with the control device; receiving and displaying an identifier for identifying the controlled device; and selectively controlling the controlled device via the control device based on an input generated using the displayed identifier.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for processing multimedia to provide a simulated experience where a plurality of remote users simultaneously view the same content even though one of the users is viewing the content at a different time. The method includes reading out information regarding user reactions to content during playback of the content, displaying a history of user reactions according to the information regarding the user reactions, and playing back a portion of content corresponding to a selected time point from the history of the user reactions at which the user reactions occurred.
