  • Patent number: 9436186
    Abstract: A cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning robot includes a main body, a moving assembly to move the main body around a home, an imaging unit to obtain images around the main body, a controller to generate a map of the home using the obtained images, and a communication unit to transmit the generated map to a home monitoring apparatus. A procedure to match location and type information of electric devices to a two-Dimensional (2D) or three-Dimensional (3D) map of the home may be automated. As described above, the map of the home may be realistically generated by utilizing a map generated by the cleaning robot and inconvenience experienced by a user to manually register electric devices located in each room of the home may be solved by automatically registering the electric devices.

  • Patent number: 8311842
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for expanding a bandwidth of an input narrowband voice signal is provided. The narrowband voice signal is analyzed separately for each frame, and a Degree of Voicing (DV) and a Degree of Stationary (DS) are calculated depending on the analysis. A Degree of Difficulty of Bandwidth Expansion (DDBWE) of the narrowband voice signal is calculated based on DV and DS. Bandwidth expansion is controlled according to DDBWE.

  • Patent number: 8301207
    Abstract: A separable mobile terminal device includes a main module to execute main functions in order to drive a mobile terminal and a user module to inform a user of visual and aural elements. At least one of the main module and the user module has a control unit to determine whether to execute the interworking between the main module and the user module depending on whether the main module and the user module are connected and whether the interworking between the main module and the user module is required. Each of the main module and the user module has an interface unit to enable data transmission/reception between the modules, and a battery to supply driving power to each respective module. Each of the main module and the user module has a connection means, so that the main module and the user module can be connected with or separated from each other via the connection means.
