Abstract:
An electronic device and a method of controlling an operation thereof are provided. The method includes acquiring image data using an image sensor comprising a first plurality of pixels configured to have a first identical exposure time and a second plurality of pixels configured to have a second identical exposure time, wherein the acquiring of the image data includes acquiring the image data using the first plurality of pixels and the second plurality of pixels while the first plurality of pixels have the first identical exposure time that is identical to the second identical exposure time of the second plurality of pixels and controlling the image sensor such that the first plurality of pixels has the first identical exposure time different from the second identical exposure time of the second plurality of pixels, at least partially based on the acquired image data.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes obtaining a first image including at least a part of an iris, applies an image effect to an image region corresponding to at least a part of the iris, and displays the image region through a display connected to the electronic apparatus, thereby preventing iris information from being exposed.
Abstract:
A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method of operating an electronic device includes displaying an image of a first resolution, determining at least a partial region of the image, and displaying an image of a second resolution corresponding to the partial region.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method for controlling photographic capture. A first image is acquired by a first camera having a first viewing angle. A second image is acquired by a second camera having a second viewing angle, the second viewing angle being different from the first viewing angle. The first image is overlaid with at least one object from the second image, or an icon corresponding to the object. The first camera and the second camera are mounted to a same surface, or to disparate surfaces relative to one another. Photographic capture or control is triggered in response to movement of the object.
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing a wireless communication in a portable terminal includes a wireless communication unit and a controller which verifies basic service set identifications (BSSIDs) of access points when roaming between access points is completed, verifies whether an internet protocol (IP) address is assigned based on a wireless communication network list and the verified BSSIDs, and performs a wireless communication by using an IP address which is in use according to a verification result, wherein the wireless communication network list is a list which classifies a plurality of access points according to the same dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) by using BSSIDs of the plurality of access points connected to the portable terminal.
Abstract:
A method for determining a touch input object in a touchscreen based electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a touch, and determining the touch input object based on two or more of a touch sensitivity, a touched area, and a touch duration time for the detected touch.
Abstract:
A method and device for detecting a touch input in an electronic device are provided. The method includes determining a scanning segment and detecting a proximity touch event during the scanning segment, according to a horizontal synchronization (H-sync) signal of a display.
Abstract:
A method for use in an electronic device is provided, including: acquiring a first picture through a first image sensor; acquiring a second picture through a second image sensor; detecting, by a processing circuitry, an image of a body part in the second picture; creating a third picture based on the image of the body part; and displaying the first picture together with the third picture as a preview image.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for switching a screen in an electronic device that uses a transparent display are provided. In the method, a state where a front direction of the electronic device is reversed from a first direction to a second direction, and a back direction of the electronic device is reversed from the second direction to the first direction are detected. When a front side and a backside of the electronic device are reversed, a left/right reversed screen or an up/down reversed screen is displayed.
Abstract:
A method is provided including detecting that a first key in a virtual keypad is pressed, the first key being associated with a first symbol, determining, by an electronic device, whether a predetermined input is received after the first key is pressed, reconfiguring the virtual keypad, without displaying the first symbol, when the predetermined input is received; and displaying the first symbol when the predetermined input is not received.
