Young Jae KO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9628595
    Abstract: A second microphone device of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, a second microphone device of a mobile terminal for preventing various limitations caused by mounting of a second microphone, is provided. The second microphone device includes an ear jack connector having an insertion space, a microphone hole connected at one end to the insertion space, and a second microphone connected at the other end of the microphone hole, thereby improving ambient noise removal performance of the mobile terminal without adversely affecting its appearance.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9059792
    Abstract: A method and system for removing noise due to bias electric power (MIC_Bias) or Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) noise are provided. The system includes an interface with a microphone contact, for connecting to an accessory, an Analog-to-Digital (AD) converter for converting an analog voltage level, input via the microphone contact, into a digital voltage level, an audio processing unit for processing an audio signal input via the microphone contact, a switch for at least one of connecting and disconnecting the microphone contact and the AD converter, and a controller. The controller compares the digital voltage level with voltage levels stored in a look up table. The controller identifies a type of accessory connected to the interface. The controller also switches off the switch to prevent noise from being introduced into the audio signal via a wire connecting the microphone contact and the AD converter.
