Abstract: A communication system retrieves profile data corresponding to a user profile of a second user, identifies a status message in the profile data, display, via a user interface of the instant messenger application, the status message; in response to receiving, via the user interface, a user input associated with the status message: query, based on the status message, a database to identify one or more items, and display, via the user interface of the instant messenger application, item data corresponding to the one or more items, receive, via the user interface, a user input associated with the one or more items, instantiate a transaction authentication of the one or more items by causing transmission of transaction information data associated with the first user, and cause, based on the transaction authentication of the one or more items, delivery of the one or more items to an account of the second user.

Abstract: Provided is a method of operating a terminal. The method includes determining a profile item applicable to the profile view for the account based on an input received by the terminal and a coordinate indicating a position where the profile item is provided on the profile view. The method includes displaying the profile item on a screen of the terminal based on the determined profile item and the determined coordinate. The method includes receiving an input related to the profile item, and displaying a visual effect corresponding to the input on the screen.

Abstract: An encoding/decoding apparatus and method for controlling a channel signal is disclosed, wherein the encoding apparatus may include an encoder to encode an object signal, a channel signal, and rendering information for the channel signal, and a bit stream generator to generate, as a bit stream, the encoded object signal, the encoded channel signal, and the encoded rendering information for the channel signal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an encoding apparatus using a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) scanning, which includes a mode selection means for selecting an optimal mode for intra prediction; an intra prediction means for performing intra prediction onto video inputted based on the mode selected in the mode selection means; a DCT and quantization means for performing DCT and quantization onto residual coefficients of a block outputted from the intra prediction means; and an entropy encoding means for performing entropy encoding onto DCT coefficients acquired from the DCT and quantization by using a scanning mode decided based on pixel similarity of the residual coefficients.
