  • Patent number: 9477688
    Abstract: In searching for a phone number in a wireless terminal, image search mode is entered when an image search is selected in phone book search mode and the image data stored in a phone book are displayed. When a SEND key is pressed continuously for a predetermined time, a call is sent to a phone number stored in the phone book associated with the selected image data. Whenever the SEND key is pressed for a predetermined time, phone numbers stored in the phone book associated with the selected image data are sequentially displayed. When image rearrangement is selected while image data are displayed, the image data are classified into moving and still images on a group-by-group basis and rearranged. When selected image view is selected while image data are displayed, the image data are enlarged and displayed, and image data stored in a corresponding folder are displayed.

  • Patent number: RE46404
    Abstract: A flash memory management method is provided. According to the method, when a request to write the predetermined data to a page to which data has been written is made, the predetermined data is written to a log block corresponding to a data block containing the page. When a request to write the predetermined data to the page again is received, the predetermined data is written to an empty free page in the log block. Even if the same page is requested to be continuously written to, the management method allows this to be processed in one log block, thereby improving the effectiveness in the use of flash memory resources.
