Abstract: A device for controlling a communication interface and a method therefor are provided. The device includes a communication interface, a memory, and a processor to control the communication interface and the memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the operations of connecting with an electronic apparatus via the communication interface by using first data stored in the memory, receiving identification information of an access point from the electronic apparatus, connecting with the access point by using the identification information of the access point, connecting with a server by using the identification information of the access point, receiving second identification information of the electronic apparatus from the server and storing the received second identification information in the memory, and when disconnected from the access point, connecting with the electronic apparatus by using the second identification information.

Abstract: A jog dial according to the present invention can be used in an electronic device. The jog dial according to the present invention comprises: a dial knob rotatably provided on an upper surface of an operation panel of the electronic device; an object provided on the dial knob; and a detector provided below the operation panel, and detecting the object so as to output a signal, wherein the dial knob and the detector are separated from each other.

Abstract: A character input method and apparatus in a portable terminal having a touch screen using a virtual keypad in which a plurality of characters is allocated to each of at least one key area is provided. The character input method includes displaying, in a character input mode, a virtual keypad having at least one key area to which a plurality of characters is allocated, displaying a plurality of divided areas in a region surrounding the touched key area, if a touch is generated in one of the key areas of the virtual keypad, determining whether a drag is generated from the touch, and if a drag is generated, displaying a character mapped to the divided area in a point where the drag is released.
