Abstract:
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes memory storing a preset frequency of the refrigerator and one or more computer programs, a communication interface communicating with a terminal device, a driving unit, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the refrigerator to receive audio information sensed by the terminal device from the terminal device through the communication interface while the refrigerator operates in a first mode, extract refrigerator noise from the audio information based on the preset frequency, acquire location information of the terminal device based on the refrigerator noise when the refrigerator noise is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and control the driving unit to operate in a second mode different from the first mode when the terminal device is identified as being within a critical distance from the refrigerator based on the location information.
Abstract:
A touch and gesture input-based control method for a mobile terminal or handheld display is provided for facilitating the switching operation between for an object in response to a gesture input subsequent to a touch input. The method includes detecting a touch input; selecting at least one object corresponding to the touch input; detecting a gesture input; and performing switching corresponding to the gesture input in a state where the object is held at a position of the touch input. The invention permits paging through lists of documents or icons, etc., while retaining the display of the held object on the touch screen.
Abstract:
An information display method for displaying diverse communication protocol information in order is provided. The communication protocol information display method of a mobile device includes discovering devices connectable through diverse communication protocols, displaying information on the discovered devices, displaying symbols of communication protocols supported by the discovered devices respectively, and displaying image objects associated with applications or functions for use in interoperation with the discovered devices.
Abstract:
A method and a terminal for providing a feedback in response to a user input related to a touch panel are provided. The method includes displaying an object on the screen, detecting a hovering of a touch input means with respect to the object, and providing a visual feedback corresponding to a distance between the object and the touch input means in response to the hovering.

Abstract:
A terminal and method for controlling the terminal using spatial gesture are provided. The terminal includes a sensing unit which detects a user gesture moving an object in a certain direction within proximity the terminal, a control unit which determines at least one of movement direction, movement speed, and movement distance of the user gesture and performs a control operation associated with a currently running application according to the determined at least one of movement direction, movement speed, and movement distance of the user gesture, and a display unit which displays an execution screen of the application under the control of the control unit.

Abstract:
An apparatus for processing a message is provided. The apparatus includes a message controller configured to check contents included in a push message, determine a template of the push message in relation to the contents, and generate a content message by using the contents and the template, and a message communication unit configured to receive the push message from a service server, and transmit the content message to an electronic device.
Abstract:
A method of operating a plurality of sensors of a user device includes detecting input using a user input means, measuring a depth value between the user input means and a screen of the user device, activating a gesture recognition function by selectively driving one or more of the plurality of sensors based on the measured depth value, and recognizing a user gesture based on pieces of information collected by the selectively driven sensors.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for processing an image in a portable terminal equipped with a dual camera are provided. The method includes selecting an image synthesis mode, performing a simultaneous or a sequential photographing of a front camera and a rear camera, obtaining a first image and a second image through the front camera and the rear camera, detecting an object image from one of the first image and the second image, and generating a synthesized image by synthesizing the object image to the other of the first image and the second image in which the object image was not detected.
