Abstract: A method for controlling a power consumption in a portable terminal and a portable terminal supporting the method are provided. The method includes receiving first data from at least one device, by a main processor; transmitting second data based on the received first data to a sub processor, by the main processor; receiving the second data from the main processor, and determining whether the main processor is in a sleep state, by the sub processor; and when it is determined that the main processor is in a sleep state, maintaining the sleep state of the main processor, receiving the first data from the at least one device, and controlling the at least one device based on the received first data and second data, by the sub processor.

Abstract: A gesture recognition method and apparatus are provided. The gesture recognition method includes extracting one or more vector values from an input gesture; generating a pattern of a vector based on the extracted one or more vector values; comparing the generated pattern to one or more patterns of stored vectors; and determining a type of the input gesture based on the comparing.

Abstract: Management of communication services is performed by a communication service management system and operation method for the same. The communication service management system includes: a first device supporting communication services; a second device having a communication connection to the first device, and receiving a communication service event from the first device and outputting the received communication service event; and a wireless access point placed between the first device and second device and directly interconnecting the first device and second device.
