Abstract: A multimedia apparatus may obtain a first signal including a multimedia signal, and a second signal input by a user, and simultaneously output the first signal and the second signal together. Accordingly, multimedia contents meeting user-friendly environments may be provided.

Abstract: Provided are a remote controller, and a control method and system using the same. The remote controller controls an electronic device and includes an input unit that is disposed on a first surface of a main body and provides first and second user interfaces. A sensor unit is configured to detect a user handling of the remote controller. A control unit is configured to control a user interface environment of the input unit according to a signal detected by the sensor unit.

Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical disc drive unit for recording/reproducing information with respect to a recording surface of an optical disc, a label printer module for printing a label on a label surface of the optical disc, and an optical disc support apparatus separated from the optical disc during recording/reproduction of the information, and supporting the optical disc to allow the label surface of the optical disc to be located at a printable position with respect to the label printer module during printing of the label.

Abstract: A game controller, a game machine, and a game system using the game controller is provided. The game controller manipulates a game program, and includes an energy harvesting unit to harvest motion of a user as energy when a game is played and an energy storing unit to store the energy harvested by using the energy harvesting unit.

Abstract: A game controller, a game machine, and a game system including the game system. The game controller is a device for manipulating a game program, and at least a portion of a body portion of the game controller is deformable to have forms that are adapted to contents of a game. Accordingly, a physical sensation when a user plays a game may be improved.

Abstract: A multimedia system that includes a television (TV). The TV includes an optical disc drive (ODD) that outputs raw data obtained from a medium, such as an optical disc, through a slave interface. The TV also includes a codec that processes the raw data received from the ODD. The TV includes a master interface corresponding to the slave interface, a codec device that extracts an image signal and/or an audio signal from the raw data transmitted through the interfaces, and a multimedia output device that outputs the image signal and/or the audio signal.

Abstract: A 3D image display system that includes eyewear and a 3D image display device for alternately displaying left and right images. The eyewear includes left and right shutters of the glasses which are controlled in a two-dimensional (2D) mode so as to allow only one of the left and right images displayed on the 3D image display device to be viewed, such that a user may view a 2D image when the 3D image display device displays a 3D image.

Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical disc drive unit for recording/reproducing information with respect to a recording surface of an optical disc, a label printer module for printing a label on a label surface of the optical disc, and an optical disc support apparatus separated from the optical disc during recording/reproduction of the information, and supporting the optical disc to allow the label surface of the optical disc to be located at a printable position with respect to the label printer module during printing of the label.

Abstract: An automatic head switching control method and apparatus detects whether an interval between a head switching point of time and a vertical sync signal is 6.5 horizontal sync signal intervals and repeats processes for altering head switching delay data tD, thereby generating a head switching signal having an appropriate head switching point of time and altering only a head switching point of time for one head during the repeat of the altering process. Accordingly, the velocity change of a drum motor does not occur and a control time is reduced as compared to an envelope detection type controller.

Abstract: A time lapse video cassette recorder (VCR) includes a video head, a control head for selectively recording and reproducing a control pulse, a capstan motor moving a magnetic tape at a predetermined speed, a video signal processing circuit processing a video signal which is recorded or reproduced by the video head, a horizontal frequency corrector correcting a horizontal frequency in sync with the recording stop signal to prevent the change of the horizontal frequency which is caused by the deviation of a travel angle of the video head during 12H/24H recording, and a gain controller controlling a control gain of the capstan motor according to rotation speed of the capstan motor. The video head, in an exemplary case, is a dual-azimuth quad head.

Abstract: An automatic head switching control method and apparatus in a multi-modal VCR for allowing automatic switching between a first and a second video modes (e.g., NTSC and PAL) without manual adjustment. The invention generates a head switching signal of which the head switching point of time of each head is shifted by delay data which is adapted for a first mode when the broadcast mode is the first mode. It also generates a head switching signal of which the head switching point of time of each head is shifted by corrected delay data obtained by correcting the delay data adapted for the first mode with an offset correction value when the broadcast mode is the second mode. As a result, there is no requirement for a manual adjustment and control time is shortened by maintaining the uniform velocity of the drum motor during automatic control.

Abstract: A control signal reproducing circuit which, during a VISS operation, clips a reproduced residual signal at a certain level or, controls a feedback amount of a control pulse by varying a pole value in order to reduce the cut-off frequency and (suppress high band components, thereby reducing the reproduced gain of the residual signal and preventing faulty VISS operation due to the residual signal.
