  • Patent number: 8494498
    Abstract: A mobile terminal and corresponding method are discussed. The mobile terminal includes a camera obtaining an image; a display unit displaying the obtained image; and a controller displaying advertisement images about at least one point of purchase included in the obtained image by overlapping the advertisement images with the image and if a selection signal about the displayed advertisement images is received, displaying the advertisement image for which the selection signal has been received in such a way to be distinguished from the advertisement image before receiving the selection signal. An advertisement image may be displayed on an image obtained from a camera and an advertisement image for which a selection signal has been received may be displayed in such a way to be distinguished from the advertisement image before receiving the selection signal, thereby enabling the user to easily recognize which advertisement image he or she has selected.

  • Patent number: 8493994
    Abstract: A method of efficiently processing a random access response message, when a terminal (or user equipment) performs random access, is disclosed. After the terminal transmits a random access preamble to a base station, the terminal may receive a random access response message having a format of medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) including only a backoff indicator subheader in a MAC header of the MAC PDU, from the base station in response to the random access preamble. As described above, the terminal, which has received the random access response message including only a backoff indicator subheader in the MAC header of the MAC PDU, may consider a random access response reception procedure not successful and may perform a subsequent procedure for a random access responses reception failure.

  • Patent number: 8494042
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for conducting interlayer motion prediction in encoding or decoding of video signal. The present method checks whether at least one of vertically-adjacent two macro blocks on a base layer is intra mode, and if only one of the two macro blocks is identified to intra mode, motion information of an inter-mode macro block of the two macro blocks is copied to the other intra-mode macro block in order to set the intra-mode macro block to a macro block having motion information.
