Abstract: A voice control apparatus of a vacuum cleaner includes: a sense signal detector for detecting a sense signal provided from a user to provide a voice recognizable environment in an ambience; a voice command recognizing unit for temporarily stopping a driving of a motor upon receiving the detected sense signal and, at the same time, outputting a voice command control signal previously set in a voice command set corresponding to a voice command instructed by the user; and a driving command controller for controlling a function and a mode of a vacuum cleaner upon receiving the voice command control signal. By providing a voice recognizable environment, the vacuum cleaner can be effectively controlled through a user's voice command even in an environment with a strong noise.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for acceleration of video encoding owing to adaptive discarding macroblocks is based on objective regularities between numerical characteristics used on successive stages of lossy encoding process. This method enables to avoid a large amount of computation and transformation being not necessary due to the fact that their results would be reduced to zero on stage of quantization. The early revelation of these regularities and adaptive control of discarding technique produce a very effective encoding scheme that can be used in the encoding systems that are aimed to extremely fast processing of video streams, in particular, in multi-channel codecs.
