Abstract: A radiation power controlling method includes: detecting a user input for setting a radiation power; determining a radiation environment of an antenna on the basis of at least the detected user input; and setting the radiation power of the antenna according to the determined radiation environment.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for operating an input control object. At least one virtual input control object is output to a display in response to a first event. The at least one virtual input control object is moved on the display in a designated direction or at a designated speed according to a second event. A function related to the at least one virtual input control object is performed according to a third event.

Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of digital broadcast reception and supports a touch screen function, and a picture-in-picture (PIP) display control method for the mobile terminal. The PIP display control method includes processing a received digital broadcast signal into channel signals of individual channels, displaying video data of a selected channel signal on a main screen occupying an entire display area, and displaying video data of another selected channel signal on a sub-screen in the main screen; checking whether a touch event occurs to one of the main screen and the sub-screen; displaying control icons on one of the touched main screen and the touched sub-screen when a touch event occurs to one of the main screen and the sub-screen; and controlling digital broadcasts on channels associated with the main screen and sub-screen in response to occurrence of touch events to the control icons.

Abstract: An embedded device and an initialization method of the same in which a data loss warning and a reset mode selection menu is displayed, in response to a hard reset command to allow a user to confirm and/or select either cold booting or warm booting after being notified of data loss.

Abstract: A mobile device having a power control function. The mobile device having the power control function includes a plurality of function modules, a control unit, incorporating a predetermined program for driving the plurality of function modules, for driving each of the plurality of function modules by the program corresponding to a control signal; a power control unit for receiving information on the program that is driven by the control unit and selectively supplying the power to each of the plurality of function modules based on the information. In accordance with the present mobile device, when driving a function module and a program provided in the mobile device, only the necessary function modules are supplied with power, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption and extending the operation duration of the mobile devices such as PDAs, cellular phones, and notebook computers.

Abstract: A personal hand held terminal has a data sync driver, a USB mass storage driver, and a control section. The control section loads the preset USB mass storage driver or a data sync driver in response to an input command or a request received from a USB host. For example, a system/USB mass storage switchover command is input through a system switchover command key. The control section transmits/receives data to/from the USB host via the USB mass storage driver, if a data transmission/reception request is received from the USB host based on a USB mass storage specification via a USB client interface of the hand held terminal. If the USB host is not provided with a data sync module, it is possible to interface information between both systems, because USB host systems provided with a USB host interface can recognize the personal hand held terminal as a USB mass storage.
