Abstract: Provided is a method, a device, and a system, in which a sensor of a sense-providing device senses a motion of the sense-providing device, without using a plurality of cameras, to detect an object and provide sensory information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a device capable of near-field communication receives a service from an external network using a communication function of a device capable of accessing the external network. A personal network is formed with devices having different users, and subscriber information for each user is safely acquired and authenticated, making it possible to provide a service received from the external network to the devices included in the personal network more conveniently.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for configuring a Personal Network (PN). A connection request message is received from a Personal Network Entity (PNE) at the PN gateway. A registration request message for a PN, to which the PNE belongs, is transmitted from the PN gateway to a server located in a Wide Area Network (WAN). An authentication request message including ID information of the PN is received at the PN gateway from the server. The authentication request message is forwarded from the PN gateway to one or more PNEs mapped to the ID information of the PN, with reference to a PN routing table in which information about the one or more PNEs is mapped to the ID information of the PN. The one or more PNEs receive a service from the server through the PN gateway.

Abstract: A method for a Personal Network Entity (PNE) to individually join a desired Personal Network (PN) is provided. When the PNE transmits a PN connection request message to a PN gateway, the PN gateway inserts its information into the connection request message and forwards the connection request message to a Converged Personal Network Service (CPNS) server. The CPNS server, upon receipt of the connection request message through the PN gateway, generates and manages information about a PN related to the PN gateway. The information about the PN is provided to the PNE at execution of authentication with the PNE, such that the PNE can determine whether to join the PN.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a first device for selecting at least one of a plurality of second devices to be accessed. The method includes transmitting pieces of media data to the corresponding plurality of second devices one-to-one, and determining at least one of the plurality of second devices to be accessed by the first device according to a user's selection on the basis of the pieces of media data being reproduced by both the first device and each of the plurality of second devices.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for providing a ring back tone in a mobile communication terminal. Character information is received through a wireless data communication or generated through a user input. The character information is transformed into voice using a text-to-speech transformer and then provided as a ring back tone.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for controlling access to a plurality of services. An authentication request is received for requesting authentication about the plurality of services. Service authentication is performed for the plurality of services based on authentication information for the plurality of services provided from a service provider unit according to the authentication request. An access right to the plurality of services is acquired from the service provider unit.
