  • Patent number: 9071724
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus perform a video call service. A transmission communication device provides information on a rotation angle of a video call image transmitted during a video call to a reception communication device corresponding to a counterpart of the video call. Then, the reception communication device renders the received video call image by using the information on the rotation angle of the received video call image, and displays a rendered video call image.

  • Patent number: 8768304
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided to output a received call with a volume adjusted to a reference level range in the etiquette call mode. In the method for providing the etiquette call mode of a mobile device, the apparatus determines whether the etiquette call mode is activated in a call mode. When the etiquette call mode is activated, the apparatus establishes a transmission gain to a given gain value and also establishes a reception gain to a specific gain value corresponding to a minimum receiving volume level. Then the apparatus amplifies a received call by means of the established reception gain, adjusts a volume of the amplified received call to a given reference level range, and outputs the adjusted received call through a speaker.

  • Patent number: 8753287
    Abstract: A hearing test method and apparatus are provided for improving a measuring accuracy and a test speed in finding the auditory threshold that is the audibility limit of discriminating a sound. In the method, after outputting a test sound relevant to a selected test frequency and a selected test sound pressure, the apparatus determines whether a user hears the test sound, then the test sound pressure zone is divided into an auditory threshold presence region and an auditory threshold absence region according to the result of determination. Thereafter, the test sound pressure zone is redefined using the auditory threshold presence region and this process of hearing test is repeated using the redefined test sound pressure zone to finally determine an auditory threshold for the selected test frequency.

  • Patent number: 8457215
    Abstract: A receiver suppresses noise simultaneously using a noise suppressor and an automatic gain controller (AGC). The receiver divides a received signal into an audio period and a non-audio period, analyzes whether the noise characteristic of the non-audio period corresponds to a non-static noise or a static noise, and if the noise characteristic corresponds to the static noise, analyzes whether the static noise is caused by a network or a transmitter side terminal. In accordance with the analyzed noise characteristic, the noise suppressor firstly suppresses the noise by determining the noise suppressing intensity, and sends a signal, from which the noise has been firstly suppressed, to the AGC. The AGC secondly suppresses the noise included in the signal. In this case, the threshold value of the AGC is controlled in real time in accordance with the noise characteristic.

  • Patent number: 8306241
    Abstract: An automatic gain controller and a method using the same are provided. The automatic gain controller and method analyze background noise by operating a microphone mounted in a mobile communication terminal and automatically control the gain of the signal part which is non-audible due to the background noise. Thus, a user may listen to music by using an earphone or a headphone connected to the mobile communication terminal in an environment with background noise. The method includes receiving an audio signal to be reproduced, receiving a background noise signal introduced through a microphone, controlling a gain of the audio signal by comparing the background noise signal and the audio signal and outputting the gain-controlled audio signal so that the user can listen to the gain-controlled audio signal.
