Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid delivery method for content in which content is divided corresponding to the number of means of delivery and transmitted. An hybrid delivery method of content comprises the steps of: detecting the number of delivery means by which a server can transmit content to a client; dividing the content so as to correspond to the detected number of delivery means; generating composition information for each of the divided content; and transmitting the divided content and the composition information to the client using the transmission means. Thus, a variety of transmission means can be used effectively.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for linking MMT media and DASH media. A method for linking MMT media and DASH media comprises the steps of: generating MPD information by extracting an MPD linking information from a home media server, the MPD linking information, which has been transmitted from an MMT transmission server to an MMT, being information comparable to an MPD of DASH for interconnecting DASH and MMT; and transmitting the MPD information to a mobile terminal so that the mobile terminal can replay as DASH media by means of the MPD information.

Abstract: A wide-angle lens system includes, in an order from an object side toward an image surface side: a first lens group having positive or negative refractive power; a second lens group having positive refractive power; and a third lens group having negative refractive power. When an object position changes from an infinite distance to a nearest distance, the first and third lens groups are fixed, and the second lens group moves along an optical axis to perform focusing.

Abstract: Architecture that guides the freeform drawing of objects by a user to enable the user to produce improved drawings without significant training. As the user draws, the architecture dynamically updates a relevant shadow image proximate (e.g., underlying) the user's strokes. The strokes overlay an evolving shadow image, which shadow image is suggestive of object contours that guide the user during the drawing process. Relevant edge images selected from a large database are automatically blended to construct the shadow image. As the user draws, the strokes are dynamically analyzed using an encoding of overlapping windows for fast matching with the database of images. A top ranked set of matching database edge images are aligned to the drawing, a set of spatially varying weights blend the edge images into the shadow image, and a scoring technique is employed to select the optimum shadow image for display.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining an abnormal ROM update in a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a ROM update unit for increasing a value of an update start counter when a ROM update process is performed, and increasing a value of an update finish counter when the ROM update process is finished. The ROM update unit loads the values of the update start counter and the update finish counter, and compares the values of the two counters to determine that the ROM update process has been normally performed before the portable terminal abnormally operates.
