Abstract: An apparatus and method determine a dielectric access in a portable terminal. The method includes generating a TX signal of a specific frequency band by performing frequency conversion, modulation, and digital/analog conversion. The method also includes detecting the power of the TX signal and converting the detected power using Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC). The method further includes loading an ADC table defining values for determining the approach/withdrawal of a dielectric to/from the portable terminal, and comparing the power of the TX signal and the ADC table to determine the approach/withdrawal of a dielectric to/from the portable terminal.

Abstract: An asynchronous mobile communication terminal for setting present time. A memory stores information of a time information server providing present time information location by location. A communicator performs communication with the time information server through a base station providing present location information. A time setting module carries out an update operation based on the location information provided from the base station and the time information provided from the time information server corresponding to the location information and sets the present time. A controller receives the location information from the base station, sends a request for time information corresponding to the location information to the time information server through the communicator, and controls the time setting module so that the update operation can be carried out using the location information and the time information provided from the time information server corresponding to the location information.
