Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic device and a method for providing content according to the skin type of a user. The electronic devices according to various embodiments comprise: a display; and a processor, wherein the processor obtains skin diagnosis information which represents the skin condition of a user, determines the skin type of the user on the basis of skin diagnosis information, and displays, on the display, information on the determined skin type and content corresponding to the determined skin type. Other embodiments are also available.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of controlling a mobile terminal by detecting a face or an eye in an input image are provided. The method includes performing face recognition on an input image facing and being captured by an image input unit equipped on the front face of the mobile terminal; determining, based on the face recognition, user state information that includes whether a user exists, a direction of the user's face, a distance from the mobile terminal, and/or a position of the user's face; and performing a predetermined function of the mobile terminal according to the user state information. According to the method, functions of the mobile terminal may be controlled without direct inputs from the user.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for security using the face authentication is provided. The apparatus includes a face detector for detecting a facial region in an input image; a face guide region generator for generating a face guide region for authenticating a face in the input image, and displaying the generated face guide region on a screen; an image capturer for capturing the input image when the detected facial region is matched with the face guide region; a facial feature extractor for extracting information regarding features of the face from the captured input image; and a facial feature storage unit for storing the extracted information regarding the features of the face.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for correcting a facial region detected from image data for photoprinting of improved image quality. The method includes an image data input step of inputting the image data to an image processing device; facial region detection step of extracting a skin color region from the inputted image data and detecting a planar face or a rotated planar face from a face-existing candidate region; a region division step of dividing the facial region detected in the facial region detection step; a correction step of extracting a distortion data value from the region divided in the region division step and conducting correction; and a photoprinting step of visually outputting the image data finally corrected in the correction step. Various types of distortion of the facial image is effectively corrected before it is printed by a photoprinter so that the image quality is improved.

Abstract: A device to prevent breakaway of a transfer belt and a transfer unit equipped with the same. A device to prevent breakaway includes rib members each provided along opposite longitudinal edges of the inner surface of the transfer belt, and guide members each provided at one of opposite ends of a roller of the transfer unit, in order to guide the rib members. Each of the guide members is provided with a guide projection that is in contact with one of the rib members.
