  • Patent number: 10967847
    Abstract: A method for controlling revolutions per minute (RPM) flare, in which an RPM of a transmission increases due to clutch slip, for a hybrid vehicle can include: determining whether gear-shifting is performed in a transmission of the hybrid vehicle; detecting whether RPM flare of the transmission occurs when it is determined that the gear-shifting is performed; and controlling a torque of a motor of the hybrid vehicle so as to reduce the RPM flare of the transmission by reducing the torque of the motor when the RPM flare of the transmission is detected.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9154600
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for hold function control in a mobile terminal are disclosed. The hold function control apparatus includes a controller including a general purpose input/output (GPIO) port, a constant voltage power unit for supplying a preset constant voltage, and a hold key for generating a voltage change at the GPIO port by making an instantaneous electrical contact between the GPIO port and the constant voltage power unit, wherein the controller senses the voltage change generated at the GPIO port. As a result, a hold function cancellation command can be directly recognized through a hardware mechanism, thus reducing the time necessary to cancel the hold function setting.

  • Patent number: 8395105
    Abstract: A method of recognizing proximity using a proximity sensor and a mobile terminal using the same are provided. The method includes detecting a key input by a user, projecting light in a state where an object does not approach a proximity sensor and measuring a light receiving amount of the projected light, extracting a compensation amount corresponding to the measured light receiving amount, setting a critical light receiving amount for determining proximity recognition by compensating the measured light receiving amount with the extracted compensation amount, and recognizing proximity of an object to the proximity sensor based on a preset critical light receiving amount. Thereby, even if the surrounding environment of a mobile terminal is changed, noise characteristic of the proximity sensor is influenced, and the mobile terminal is used for a long time, a proximity recognition distance of the mobile terminal is uniformly sustained.
