  • Patent number: 10445857
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic frame and an image displaying method of an electronic frame. The electronic frame according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention detects, through an optical sensing unit, parts that are hidden by a frame, sets only a display area that is not hidden by the frame as a valid area, resizes an image so that the image matches the valid area of the display, and displays the image. Accordingly, even if the size of the frame is changed, a phenomenon in which a part of the image is not shown due to the frame could be prevented, as an image-resizing is adjustably performed.

  • Patent number: 10310702
    Abstract: An image display apparatus and a method for operating an image display apparatus are disclosed. According to embodiments of the present invention, the image display apparatus comprises: a microphone; a display unit configured to output a pointer on a screen; and a controller generating a representative image corresponding to a first voice signal and attaching the representative image to the pointer when the first voice signal is input into the microphone in a state in which the pointer is output on the screen. Here, the controller enables the representative image attached to the pointer to be displayed along a moving path of the pointer in response to the movement of the pointer on the screen and, when a specific object on the screen is selected using the pointer to which the representative image is attached, enables a function related to the representative image corresponding to the first voice signal to be applied to the selected specific object while a display corresponding to the selection is output.

  • Publication number: 20130322519
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a video processing method using adaptive weighted prediction. The video processing method includes dividing a reference frame into a plurality of reference divisional areas, dividing a current frame into a plurality of current divisional areas, calculating absolute values of differences between respective average brightness values of the plural reference divisional areas and respective average brightness values of the plural current divisional areas, calculating a standard deviation of the absolute values, and implementing adaptive weighted prediction with regard to the current frame when the standard deviation exceeds a predetermined critical value. Thus, the video processing method can more quickly process rapid variation in brightness of an image with less operation when the rapid variation in brightness occurs due to flash, fade-in, fade-out, etc.
