Abstract:
A smart apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. The smart apparatus includes a display device in which an application is embedded; a touch input module which is disposed on the display device and is configured to execute the application in response to a touch input applied thereto; and a first energy generating device which is disposed on the display device and is configured to generate electric energy from a mechanical force externally applied thereto.
Abstract:
Provided is an energy harvesting device having a self-powered touch sensor so that the energy harvesting device is capable of sensing pressure due to an external touch without using external power and harvesting and storing energy generated in response to the touch pressure. The energy harvesting device includes first and second electrodes facing each other, an energy generation layer disposed on the first electrode, and an elastic layer disposed on the second electrode layer, the elastic layer facing the energy generation layer and being configured to be elastically deformed according to pressure applied to the elastic layer. The energy generation layer is configured to generate energy according to the pressure applied to the energy generation layer.
Abstract:
A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes a body of a bangle type configured to be worn on a user body, a display mounted in the body, a motion sensor configured to detect a motion, a storage configured to store control information which is differently set according to a motion state, and, when a motion is detected by the motion sensor, a controller configured to change a screen of the display according to control information corresponding to the detected motion. Accordingly, the mobile device is easily carried and used.
Abstract:
A flexible apparatus is provided. The flexible apparatus includes: a screen generator configured to generate a user interface (UI) screen; a plurality of sensors configured to sense deformation of the flexible apparatus and output a result of sensing; a storage configured to store a crumple determining condition with regard to crumpling of the flexible apparatus; and a controller configured to determine whether the result of the sensing by the plurality of sensors satisfies the crumple determining condition stored in the storage, and in response to determining that the crumple determining condition is satisfied, perform an operation corresponding to the crumple determining condition.
