Abstract: A vehicle control device including a manipulating unit that is manipulated by a user and a vehicle having the same are provided. The vehicle control device includes a manipulating unit having an object detecting unit configured to detect an object in a noncontact manner and a pad disposed above the object detecting unit and having elasticity. In addition, a controller is configured to generate a control signal for operating a vehicle based on an output signal of the manipulating unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a structure aware navigation method using a user input space and structure mapping between an input device and digital data. A user interface method executed by a computer includes steps of: mapping between a user input space of an input unit and a hierarchical structure of digital data; and recognizing a layer corresponding to the user input space and performing data navigation.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating a position and a direction using an infrared light are provided. The system may measure an intensity of an irradiation light irradiated by each light irradiator through each light receiver, and may estimate a position and a direction of a remote apparatus, based on the measured intensity, a light receiving directivity, and a light emitting directivity.

Abstract: An apparatus which adaptively adjusts a filtering coefficient according to motion data and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus sets a filtering coefficient according to motion data, and performs low pass filtering on the motion data according to the set filtering coefficient. Accordingly, a cutoff frequency may be adaptively changed according to moving velocity of a user and thus optimum motion data which are filtered irrespective of movement may be generated.

Abstract: A remote pointing apparatus is provided. A light receiving unit may receive emitted light. A filtering unit may filter a received signal to a first frequency component, a second frequency component, a third frequency component, and a fourth frequency component. A calculation unit may compare amplitudes of the first frequency component and the second frequency component to calculate a first coordinate axis value of a cursor on a display unit, and compare amplitudes of the third frequency component and the fourth frequency component to calculate a second coordinate axis value of the cursor on the display unit.
