  • Publication number: 20120013552
    Abstract: A touch-sensitive device and a related control method are provided to allow the control of a predefined function (e.g., screen brightness, volume, vibration) in response to a touch-based user gesture input on a state information display region such as an indicator region. In a method for controlling the screen brightness of the device, a screen is displayed separating the state information display region and a normal display region. When receiving the user gesture scrolled along the state information display region, a control unit of the device adjusts the predefined function in response to the received user gesture.

  • Patent number: 7209764
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for receiving a channel signal using a STTD (Space Time Transmit Diversity) scheme in a CDMA communication system. In the CDMA communication system a transmitter with first and second antennas STTD (Space Time Transmit Diversity)-encodes a channel signal having PC (Power Control) information of a receiver and transmits a STTD-encoded result over first and second antennas, a first antenna signal processor receives a signal transmitted from the transmitter, and processes the received signal as a signal transmitted from the first antenna using a first pattern, a second antenna signal processor processes the received signal as a signal transmitted from the second antenna using a second pattern orthogonal to the first pattern, and an adder combines an output signal of the first and second antenna signal processor, and generates the PC information, resulting in no delay time while detecting such PC information.
