  • Patent number: 11909902
    Abstract: A communication terminal and a method of providing a unified natural language interface to the same are disclosed. The method includes: determining, when text information containing many characters is created, whether the text information conforms to one of preset grammatical constraints; extracting, when the text information conforms to one of the grammatical constraints, tokens of one or more of characters from the text information, and extracting, when the text information does not conform to one of the grammatical constraints, one or more characters having an attribute probability higher than a reference probability as a token; and analyzing the extracted tokens to determine a function to handle the extracted tokens, and executing the determined function based on the extracted tokens.

  • Patent number: 10993185
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing power consumption of a portable terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and method for reducing power consumption generated in an idle state in order to solve a power consumption problem in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a state determination unit which is configured independently from an application processor for controlling applications and which wakes up when entering an idle mode to allow the application processor to sleep, and thereafter determines a state of the portable terminal, and if it is determined that the portable terminal escapes from the idle mode, allows the application processor to wake up.

  • Patent number: 9727198
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining an input position of a touch object. An input signal is received from the touch object, and one or more sensing signals are output. A resistance of each of one or more sub-loops is measured, and a resistance information lookup table is generated with each resistance value of a corresponding sub-loop of the one or more sub-loops. The one or more sensing signals are corrected based on the resistance information lookup table. The input position of the touch object is determined based on the corrected one or more sensing signals.
