  • Publication number: 20240072553
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a connector including a pair of terminals connected to a power source, a voltage sensor provided to detect a voltage between the pair of terminals, a communication device provided to perform communication with an external control device through a network, and a controller configured to determine whether the connector is separated from the power source based on a voltage variation between the pair of terminals, control the communication device to request the external control device to cut off power of the power source when the connector is separated from the power source, and control to perform self-discharge.

  • Patent number: 8605327
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus and a color correction method, and a host apparatus to correct the color of an output image using the color correction method. The image forming apparatus can include a table correction unit to correct the color conversion table based on monitor information, and a color conversion unit to convert the input image into the output image using the corrected color conversion table. Accordingly, the color of a displayed image can match that of a print output regardless of the status of the display apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8605111
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for correcting color in a portable image projector in consideration of an effect of a background color when the portable image projector projects images. The method corrects the effect of the background color to be projected, using color constancy technique, and thereby represents high-quality image which can be projected on a white screen. The method includes the steps of determining if a background color exists on a projection screen using a portable camera, converting the size of a mask image in order to connect a spatial position of an original image and an image photographed by a camera, correcting brightness of the mask image in order to correct non-homogeneity of the brightness of the projected image due to the distribution of different brightness values of the background color, and correcting the background color in order to correct color distortion of the image projected in different colors on the background color.

  • Patent number: 8345338
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for evaluating the qualities of the user's color vision by means of the FM chromaticity test or directly measuring the defective factors of the user causing the color blindness. Thus it modifies the color composition of a video displaying apparatus according to a numerical analysis of the color and degree of color blindness specific to each dichromatic individual, so that he may perceive the same colors as the normal person. Also discloses is an apparatus for performing the method steps described herein.

  • Patent number: 7978201
    Abstract: A method for compensating an image produced by image means for implementing image information takes account of ambient illumination. Luminance of external background illumination around the image means is measured. The measured luminance of the background illumination is compared with preset tristimulus values and a reflectance factor of the image means, a comparison result is computed, and a control signal is generated to compensate luminance and chroma of an image. Luminance and chroma of the image means are compensated in response to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20070146268
    Abstract: A method of realizing images in a portable display apparatus including a camera module and an LCD monitor includes the steps of: converting three primary lights, which are realized by the camera module, into a first tri-stimulus value; converting the first tri-stimulus value into a second tri-stimulus value through a color gamut mapping of the first tri-stimulus value for the LCD monitor; and converting the second tri-stimulus value into three primary lights for images the LCD monitor is configured to display and then transferring the three converted-to primary lights to the LCD monitor.
