  • Patent number: 7215355
    Abstract: In a mobile communication terminal having a camera rotatively connected thereto, an apparatus and a method for controlling an image is provided. A photographic image generated by the camera can be reoriented so that the image appears inversed as a result of sensing a rotational position of the camera relative to the terminal. A position sensing unit detects a rotational position of a camera; a control unit compares the detected position to a default position and reorients the photographic image if the detected position does not correspond to the default position.

  • Patent number: 7092455
    Abstract: A digital VSB transmission system that is able to send supplemental data along with MPEG image/sound data is enclosed. The system initially encodes the supplemental data symbol to generate a parity bit, and it multiplexes the parity bit with a predefined sequence and transmits the multiplexed data to a receiver. The system is compatible with the existing ATSC 8T-VSB receivers that are already on the market. It can have advantages over the other type of VSB transmission systems that transmit only the predefined sequence. In addition, the system according the to the present invention results a improved robustness against ghost and noise signals in a channel compared to systems using only the ½ rate convolutional encoding.

  • Patent number: 7012880
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-density disk that is structured to prevent a collision of an optical pickup's objective lens with the high-density disk if the disk is placed upside down in a disk device that is able to record and reproduce signals to/from the high-density disk. A high-density disk recording medium according to the present invention is structured such that, wherein a recording layer having high-density pit patterns is offset from a center plane of disk thickness, both sides of a clamping zone bisected by the center plane have differing thicknesses. One or both sides may protrude from surface of the disk recording medium, or one side of the clamping zone may protrude from the surface while the other side is indented below the surface.
