Abstract: An apparatus for charging a user customized service includes: an image processor to receive image data of a user captured by an image capturer and to extract specific data from the image data; a user identifier to identify user identification data of the user based on the specific data; a service extractor to extract the user customized service to be offered to the user, based on the user identification data of the user; a service provider to receive information on the user customized service from a service storage unit and to provide the information to the user; and a service charger to calculate a service fee for the user customized service of the service provider by an exposure time ratio of the user customized service exposed to the user.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for reproducing at least one piece of content received via at least one interface. The method includes classifying the at least one piece of content respectively received via the at least one interface according to a reference attribute, allocating the classified at least one piece of content to a virtual channel, and selecting a channel from among set channels that include the virtual channel and an occupied basic channel.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a system that adaptively transform visual contents inputted from a network, in accordance with the visual characteristics of a terminal user. A visual characteristics descriptor that describes the information of the user visual characteristics in a predetermined format is proposed. The descriptor includes the information of the color vision deficiency type and the color vision deficiency degree. The color vision deficiency may be described in numerical degree or textual degree. The invention adaptively transforms visual contents differently in accordance with the color vision deficiency type.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing content by using metadata are provided. In the method, a metadata file and a content file are obtained, wherein the metadata file comprises at least one of learned content reproduction pattern information and reproduction management information; the content file is reproduced based on the at least one of the learned content reproduction pattern information and the reproduction management information of the metadata file; and the metadata file is updated based on the at least one of the learned content reproduction pattern information and the reproduction management information.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a system that could adaptively improve the visual quality of people with low-vision impairment, regardless of network and terminal. The low-vision impairment is described by a set of “symptoms” that is semantically defined. As the description tool of low vision impairments, it is flexible and reliable to use the proposed “symptoms” based descriptions rather than individually identified names of eye disease, because the user can describe his/her low-vision impairment by specifying associated symptoms based on his/her own experience. The inputted visual contents are adaptively transformed according to the low vision-impairment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for clearly detecting color information in front of a vehicle, and an object of the present invention is to accurately and efficiently show color-related traffic information, such as traffic lights and signs, and the whole color information of objects to color-blind people including people with dichromacy or anomalous trichromacy. The present invention provides a method of compensating for the colors of video frame data provided by a front camera, which includes the steps of compensating the video frame data, which is output from the camera, for external environment, such as surrounding colors and brightness, selecting a color range preferred by a user, compensating for the colors of the color-compensated video frame data according to the user's color blindness degree that was input or will be input, and transmitting external scenes, such as the front scene of the vehicle, to the user using a user interface considering user preference.
