  • Patent number: 11256099
    Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) apparatus includes a main body having a first surface facing a user's facial side, at least one connecting part connected to at least one surface of the main body, and a wearing part having a strap form, the wearing part being connected to the at least one connecting part and surrounding a portion of a head of the user such that the main body is held on the user's facial side. The main body includes a first support part extending from a portion of the first surface. The wearing part includes a second support part formed on an inner circumferential surface of a front portion of the wearing part facing a forehead of the user. The first support part and the second support part are supported on the user's forehead, thereby minimizing pressure exerted on zygomatic regions and relieving pressure and weight felt by the user.

  • Patent number: 8279182
    Abstract: Disclosed are a user input device and a method for rapidly selecting an operation mode in a mobile terminal having a touch screen input panel and a fingerprint recognition sensor. The user input method includes setting operation modes for at least one fingerprint data and input pattern, each comprised of keys necessary to implement a corresponding operation mode; detecting fingerprint data inputted from the fingerprint recognition sensor, and confirming an operation mode set for the inputted fingerprint data; and displaying an input pattern corresponding to the confirmed operation mode on the touch screen input panel.

  • Patent number: 8040946
    Abstract: Disclosed is an audio/video data synchronization apparatus for directly transmitting decoded audio/video data to an external device, without compressing the data, using UWB communication. The apparatus synchronizes video and audio data stored in a terminal without compressing the data and simultaneously transmits the data to an external device using UWB communication, so that users can enjoy high-quality images and sounds. In addition, the receiving end does not necessarily incorporate a separate function for decoding moving images, because it receives uncompressed video/audio data. This makes the apparatus simple and convenient.

  • Publication number: 20100079370
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an interactive user interface that varies according to strength of blowing. A sensor detects blowing from a user and outputs a strength value of the detected blowing. A memory stores interactive image data capable of giving an effect of responding to user's blowing strength in real time. A controller loads interactive image data corresponding to the strength value of the blowing from the memory, and configures an interactive image that varies according to the strength value of the blowing, using the loaded interactive image data. A display displays the configured interactive image under control of the controller.

  • Publication number: 20090009470
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wristwatch-type mobile terminal and method for receiving user inputs therein, which can efficiently receive user inputs through a pressure sensor. The method for receiving user inputs in a wristwatch-type mobile terminal includes providing a sensor unit to the wristwatch-type mobile terminal and detecting a user input through the sensor unit, deciding an operation corresponding to a corresponding location of the sensor unit depending on the user input, determining whether the decided operation relates to movement of a pointer movable on a display screen, determining whether pressure of the user input is more than a preset value when the decided operation relates to the movement of the pointer, and moving the pointer a first distance and displaying the pointer when the pressure of the user input is not more than the preset value, or moving the pointer a second distance and displaying the pointer when the pressure of the user input is more than the preset value.
