  • Patent number: 7544949
    Abstract: A method for controlling ultraviolet light information in a wireless terminal, and a wireless terminals are provided where, when an ultraviolet light measurement is selected in an ultraviolet light mode, whether a folder has been opened or closed is determined. When the folder has been closed, an amount of ultraviolet light is measured, and displaying both information on an ultraviolet index based on the measured amount of ultraviolet light and preset countermeasures for information on a user's skin type according to the ultraviolet index. Controlling ultraviolet light information in a wireless terminal may include measuring an amount of ultraviolet light in an ultraviolet light mode, and displaying corresponding information through an ultraviolet index based on the measured amount of ultraviolet light, displaying information on an ultraviolet index in the ultraviolet light mode, and displaying countermeasures against ultraviolet light in the ultraviolet light mode.

  • Patent number: 6278886
    Abstract: A device and method for inputting messages in a predetermined sequence and then transmitting input messages at a specific time. When a scenario mode is selected, a plurality of input modes are displayed in predetermined sequence. A next input mode is displayed, when a current input mode is completed by either skipping it or receiving a message input according to the current input mode. Then, the messages input up to the present are transmitted when the message input is completed for all the input modes in the predetermined sequence. The scenario mode includes “when”, “where”, “who”, “what”, “how”, “why” and “the rest” input modes, and the input modes are selected in the sequence of “when”, “where”, “who”, “what”, “how”, “why” and “the rest”.
