Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a metal coated particle, to metal coated particles prepared according to the method and the use of these metal coated particles. The method comprising the steps of: providing a source of base particles to be coated; providing a source of a metal-comprising coating particles; and feeding the base particles specified in step (a) and the source of metal comprising coating particles specified in step (b) into a continuous reactor including heat exchange means to cause contact of the base particles with the source of coating particles thereby to form the metal coated particles. The coated particles include a homogeneous coating and can be used in a variety of applications.

Abstract: Disclosed is a user interface providing method for controlling a game play in a portable device. A user interface providing technology determines whether a received first touch input is a touch input for setting a GUI, determines a GUI setting mode, and activating at least one GUI element for controlling the game play in response to the GUI setting mode.

Abstract: A surface light-emitting apparatus for emitting light from an entire surface thereof includes a framework having a predetermined shape and an LED disposed in the framework. A reflective layer is applied on an inner surface of the framework. The reflective layer can reflect light emitted from the LED. The apparatus includes a dispersing layer containing a multiplicity of diffuse-reflective particles operable to transmit at least a portion of the light emitted by the LED within the framework and diffuse-reflect at least a portion of the light along contact surfaces contacting each other. The apparatus includes a finishing layer including a light-transmitting resin disposed on the dispersing layer. The light emitted by the LED is dispersed and emitted through the diffuse-reflective particles.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an online game provision system using a storage medium and a method thereof. The online game provision system includes a database server, a storage medium, and a Personal Computer (PC). The database server stores patch files corresponding to a video and image file, a sound file and a game program executable file which are necessary to play the game, and information about the version of each of the patch files. The storage medium stores the video and image file, the sound file, the game program executable file, the latest patch executable file, and an account authority processing executable file which are necessary to play the game. The PC is connected to the database server, receives the input of the storage medium, and includes an Operating System (OS) for detecting the input of the storage medium and automatically executing the latest patch executable file.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing a video game environment with interactive advertisement objects configured to provide a game player with an advertisement. If the player reaches a defined game decision point with the game, the interactive advertisement object is displayed or otherwise provided to the player. If the player then activates the interactive advertisement object, an advertisement is provided to the game player for viewing, and a field within a multipart coupon may be filled with a unique code based on identities of the player, the game, and at least one of the advertisements or an advertiser of the advertisement. The player may then redeem the coupon for a product and/or service, where at least a portion of the product/service is charged to the associated advertiser.

Abstract: A system for distributing files and transmitting/receiving the distributed files includes a file distribution/transmission/reception module depending upon an application program executable in a client computer and is performed in a background process of an application program execution module. The file distribution/transmission/reception module receives the files designated by a host computer from a network and then stores the received files, while the application program is executed. The file distribution/transmission/reception module transmits corresponding files to another client computer if the corresponding files exist, in response to another client computer's request for transmission of files designated on the host computer.
