Abstract: Provided are a thimble-type intermediation device and a method for recognizing a finger gesture using the same. The thimble-type intermediation device includes: a motion sensing unit sensing a motion of a user's finger and generating the sensed result as motion data; a tactile sensing block sensing a tactile behavior of the user's finger and generating the sensed result as tactile data; a control unit recognizing the gesture and tactile behavior of the user's finger on the basis of the generated motion data and tactile data, and outputting the recognition result as recognition result information; and a wireless communication unit transmitting the recognition result information to a robot system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a typewriter system and a text input method capable of accurately recognizing words by correcting words input using a mediated interface device based on a dictionary. A plurality of texts are combined by referencing a text recognition order set in which recognition results of texts are arranged according to a recognition order from texts input through the mediated interface device and the combined text is filtered using part index maps formed of part words that are an accumulated set of texts forming complete words. The part words passing through the part index maps is again filtered using a dictionary including context information formed of a set of words in a specific category, thereby making it possible to accurately recognize the words. The part words that cannot form words in a dictionary are removed in advance using the part index maps, thereby improving the recognition efficiency.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a robot and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes: a state interpretation unit determining whether or not a current situation belongs to a preset unstable state by evaluating the current situation based on a plurality of perception information items; and a target generation unit setting a target action of the robot by comparing the current situation and the determination result with a predetermined value system, and then, modifying the target action by receiving a feedback of the action performance result of the robot as perception information. According to the method and apparatus, by inputting a processing procedure and a value system to solve a variety of unstable states that can occur in situations of a user and circumstances surrounding the robot, the robot can actively respond with actions.

Abstract: An annotation based automatic web document generation apparatus includes a web server, an annotation editor, an annotation server, an annotation/meta file database, and annotation processing system. The web server provides a web document. The annotation editor refers the web document from the web server to generate at least one annotation and generates a merged command for data for said at least one annotation. The annotation/meta file database stores the data for said at least one annotation and a merged meta file including the merged command for the data for said at least one annotation. Thus, it is possible to generate a new web document adapted for a user terminal by combining context information with the merged meta file and efficiently provide a plurality of user terminals of various characteristics with existing web documents.

Abstract: A system and a method for reprocessing web contents in multiple steps are disclosed. A user agent generates an HTTP request message in response to an user's demand and transmits the HTTP request message. A web server analyzes the HTTP request message transmitted from the user agent and generates a contents requested by the user to thereby transmit the contents to a corresponding intermediate server which performs multi-step reprocessing of the contents. And a plurality of intermediate servers reprocesses the contents transmitted from the web server and transmits the contents to the user agent.
