Abstract: A method for executing an operation on a portable terminal in a locked state includes displaying a lockscreen on the portable terminal including state information of the portable terminal; receiving an input on the lockscreen; determining whether the input corresponds to an operation of an application with respect to the displayed state information; and executing the operation according to the determination. A portable terminal includes an interface unit to output a lockscreen when the portable terminal is in a locked state and to display state information on the lockscreen; an input unit to receive an input; a verification unit to determine whether the input corresponds to an operation of an application with respect to the determined state information; and an execution unit to execute the predetermine operation.

Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) providing apparatus includes a first data acquiring unit to acquire first data of a target object, a second data acquiring unit to acquire second data, and an image processor to obtain a representative image based on the first data and to modify the representative image based on the second data. A method for providing AR includes acquiring first data for a target object, acquiring second data from a source associated with the target object or a user of an AR providing apparatus, obtaining a representative image related to the first data, and modifying the representative image based on the second data.

Abstract: The apparatus to control an image output position of a flexible display moves a position of an image output area in a screen area when the flexible display is rotated. The apparatus may include: a bending measurement unit to measure a bending degree of the flexible display; a rotation measurement unit to measure a rotation degree and a rotation direction of the flexible display; and a controller to output an image at an image output area, and move a position of the image output area.
