Abstract: Provided is a method performed by a least one computing device for a message service. The method comprises receiving a transmission request for a compound message which is a bundled message comprising a parent message and a plurality of child messages, obtaining permission information for a sender of the compound message, determining whether to allow each of the child messages to be sent based on the permission information and controlling transmission of the compound message based on the determination result.

Abstract: Provided is an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus including: a display unit that displays a first screen including at least one marker; a user interface unit for receiving a selection of a predetermined marker among the at least one marker; and a controller that controls the display unit to display a first screen including a second ultrasound image that represents an object and has a view which is changed according to the predetermined marker. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus may provide an ultrasound image screen that allows a user to easily and conveniently diagnose an object.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: an ultrasound probe; a display; an image processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the image processor, perform operations. The operations includes acquiring ultrasound data about an object; generating an ultrasound image, based on the acquired ultrasound data; generating a first marker for a first object of interest (OOI) which is not included in the generated ultrasound image; displaying the generated ultrasound image and a map image representing a viewing point corresponding to the ultrasound image, a viewing direction, a region that a virtual ray reaches, and a position of the first OOI; and marking the first marker to correspond to the position of the first OOI on the ultrasound image and the map image.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a controller configured to recognize an object included in an ultrasound image and search at least one piece of texture information corresponding to the recognized object; a display configured to display the ultrasound image and the searched at least one piece of texture information; a user interface configured to receive an input for selecting one piece of texture information from among the searched at least one piece of texture information; and an image processor configured to perform texture mapping of the selected piece of texture information onto at least one region in the ultrasound image of the object.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an input apparatus and a medical imaging apparatus having the same, an apparatus configured to adjust specular characteristics of 3D medical images, more particularly, an input apparatus configured to allow specular characteristics of 3D medical images to be changed easily and quickly. The input apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive a command related to operations of a medical imaging apparatus, and a touch screen configured to display a plurality of objects in which a combination of at least one variables related to specular characteristics is applied.

Abstract: Disclosed is a ultrasonic apparatus including a wireless ultrasonic probe at which a RFID antenna receiving a RFID signal from outside and a ultrasonic apparatus having the same. The wireless ultrasonic probe includes a housing and a RFID antenna provided inside the housing to receive a RFID signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and a method of operating the same. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a data acquirer that acquires ultrasound data about an object, an image processor that generates an ultrasound image, based on the ultrasound data and generates a first marker for a first object of interest (OOI) which is not included in the generated ultrasound image, and a display that displays the generated ultrasound image and marks the first marker to correspond to a position of the first OOI.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving image quality based on definition and chroma are provided. The method includes analyzing an input image; calculating a quantified definition value and a quantified chroma value of the input image; determining a definition parameter corresponding to the quantified definition value and a chroma parameter corresponding to the quantified chroma value; and applying the determined definition parameter and the determined chroma parameter to a frame of the input image.
