Abstract: Disclosed are a method for data de-duplication and an apparatus for the same. The method may comprise obtaining access property of data based on input request or output request for the data, determining de-duplication unit of the data based on the access property, and performing de-duplication on the data based on the de-duplication unit. Thus, data de-duplication rate may be determined adaptively based on input/output characteristics of data. Also, data de-duplication may be performed based on the determined data de-duplication rate so as to provide low input/output latency.

Abstract: A portable terminal can analyze a voice of the other party and update a phonebook. A voice pattern can be extracted from an incoming voice signal. A determination is made whether the extracted voice pattern is contained in a list of voice patterns stored in the portable terminal. If the extracted voice pattern is contained in the list, a determination is made whether a stored phone number matches a received phone number. If the stored phone number is not identical to the received phone number, the stored phone number is changed with the received phone number. Therefore, the phonebook can be automatically (e.g., without user input) updated although the user does not directly change and store phone numbers of other parties.
