Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing dried bio-cellulose which, according to one embodiment of the present invention, prevents contamination caused by microorganisms during the transport and production processes, does not require an additional anti-microorganism system in the production process, and can reduce the cost of transport and production by being stored at room temperature for a long time. Also, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the dried bio cellulose can be used as a cosmetic or pharmaceutical material for delivering medicinal substances through prompt gelation in several seconds or minutes.

Abstract: A protocol processing method and apparatus are disclosed for a multi-SIM terminal holding multiple subscriber identification cards. The method includes: determining whether all the subscriber identification cards are associated with the same base station (e.g., a Public Land Mobile Network); and conducting, when all the subscriber identification cards are associated with the same base station, frequency scanning and measurement for a selected one of the subscriber identification cards, and sharing the results of frequency scanning and measurement with all the subscriber identification cards. Hence, the multi-SIM terminal may reduce battery power consumption without repeated frequency scanning and measurement for multiple subscriber identification cards.

Abstract: A method of managing a list in an electronic device is provided. The method includes displaying the list, determining whether scrolling on the list occurs, determining whether there is at least one item that satisfies a reference condition for displaying a shortcut on the upper end of the list, if the scrolling on the list occurs, and displaying, on the upper end of the list, the shortcut for the at least one item that satisfies the reference condition, if there is at least one item that satisfies the reference condition.

Abstract: A method for retrieving a file and an electronic device thereof are provided. The method includes a menu selection for retrieving a file is detected. Upon the menu selection being detected, a file retrieve window including at least one icon one-to-one mapped to a most recently operated file is displayed.

Abstract: An electronic device receives manual input of strokes representing input text, and is used with an apparatus and method for automatically correcting the text which is input by a user into the electronic device. In a method of correcting a font of the text output by the electronic device, the method includes inputting a text, changing a font of the input text, and outputting the text whose font is changed.

Abstract: A multi-standby mobile terminal and an operation method for the same are provided. The multi-standby mobile terminal includes at least two communication modules and a plurality of SIM cards. A number of SIM cards is greater than a number of communication modules. When a call is established over a communication network related to a first SIM card, it is determined whether a second SIM card is associated with a first communication module that is associated with the first SIM card. When a second SIM card is associated with the first communication module associated with the first SIM card, SIM association transfer is performed by disassociating the second SIM card from the first communication module and then associating the second SIM card with a second communication module, and proceeding to handle the call.
