Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a fin-type active region protruding from a top surface of a substrate and extending in a first direction parallel to the top surface of the substrate, a gate structure intersecting with the fin-type active region and extending on the substrate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a source/drain region on a first side of the gate structure, a first contact structure on the source/drain region, and a contact capping layer on the first contact structure. A top surface of the first contact structure has a first width in the first direction, a bottom surface of the contact capping layer has a second width greater than the first width stated above in the first direction, and the contact capping layer includes a protruding portion extending outward from a sidewall of the first contact structure.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for automatically storing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) by calculating a content stay value are provided. The method includes detecting a weight value of contents displayed, calculating a stay value using the detected weight value, and when the calculated stay value is greater than a set value, storing the URL of the contents.

Abstract: A method for providing touch screen-based user interface and a portable terminal adapted to the method are provided. The method includes setting types and display order of icons to be displayed on a touch screen, sensing a touch input to the touch screen, measuring a time that the touch input is retained on the touch screen, and displaying at least one icon, in an order, according to the measured touch input retaining time and the set types and display order of icons. The touch screen-based user interface providing method can allow a user to easily search for and operate a corresponding function, via a relatively small number of touch inputting actions, thereby enhancing the user's experience while the user is using the portable terminal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that can display an additional display region in a display area on a display unit are provided. The method and apparatus are configured in such a way as to provide a display area and an additional display region. The display area is displayed on the display unit. The additional display region to be displayed on the display unit is virtually prepared. The additional display region is displayed on the display unit according to a detected signal output from the motion detector. The items displayed on the display area and the additional display region are associated with each other to perform a corresponding user function.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for providing a virtual keyboard are provided. The method includes displaying a three-dimensional (3D) object in a shape of a polyhedron having surfaces to which different switch targets are respectively allocated; rotating the 3D object according to a direction and distance of an input flicking; and activating, in response to the rotation of the 3D object, one of surfaces of the polyhedron that is most widely projected.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling a mobile terminal in a data communication system. In the mobile terminal controlling apparatus, a network terminal generates an encapsulated control packet, which includes a control command for controlling the mobile terminal during data communication and predetermined port information, and transmits the encapsulated control packet to the mobile terminal. Then, the mobile terminal receives the encapsulated packet from the network terminal, decapasulates the received packet to see if the packet is a control packet. When the received packet is a control packet, the mobile terminal executes the control command included in the control packet.
