Publication number: 20090222790Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for processing resource description framework data. The present invention relates to a system and method allowing a general-purpose program to support operation of resource description language (RDF) data models, not operation of RDF ontology using a library. Therefore, it is possible to process RDF data by using an existing high-level programming language. Further, since a developer clearly perceives RDF data models, it is possible to easily operate RDF ontology.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2008Publication date: September 3, 2009Applicant: ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Hyun-Wo OH, In Tark Han, Kwang Roh Park, Eun-Sun Cho, Ik-Hyoun Jhin

Patent number: 7512396Abstract: An apparatus for reducing power consumption in a digital broadcast receiver is provided. An AC-to-DC converter converts input AC power into DC power that can be used in the receiver. A power control switch selectively supplies the DC power from the converter to a tuner unit and a decoder according to a command of a controller. The tuner unit receives broadcast channel signals and demodulates the received broadcast channel signals according to the respective broadcast formats. The decoder receives the demodulated broadcast signals from the tuner unit and decodes analog/digital broadcast signals. A multimedia output port is connected between the decoder and the display unit to transfer the audio/video output signals from the decoder to the display unit. The controller detects the state of the display unit through the multimedia output port to control whether to supply the DC power through the power control switch.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2006Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Jin Soo Han, In Tark Han, Youn Kwae Jeong, Sung Il Nam, Jung Chul Seo
