Newness and distinctiveness is claimed in the features of ornamentation as shown inside the broken line circle in the accompanying representation.

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof, which can obtain an image, are provided. A mobile terminal (100) includes a camera unit (121), a pictogram extraction unit (182) and a controller (180). The camera unit (121) obtains image information corresponding to at least one of a still image and a moving image. The pictogram extraction unit (182) extracts at least one pictogram from the obtained image information. The controller (180) detects information related to the extracted pictogram, and displays the detected information to be overlapped with the obtained image information. In the mobile terminal, the controller (180) includes, as the detected information, at least one of previously recorded information and currently searched information related to the extracted pictogram.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

A mobile communication device receives information associated with multiple home devices, and generates, based on the home device information, a connected home dashboard that includes a home device item, a modes item, a monitoring item, a security item, and a notifications item. The mobile communication device also provides the connected home dashboard for display to a user, and receives, from the user, a selection of one of the home device item, the modes item, the monitoring item, the security item, or the notifications item. The mobile communication device further provides, based on the home device information and for display to the user, information associated with the selected item.

Smart home device management

Recognizing cloud content techniques are described herein. A designated storage location for cloud content corresponding to a service is registered locally at a device. Files stored in association with the registered storage location may be recognized as cloud content of the corresponding service. The recognized cloud content may be handled in various ways to customize the user experience and tailor interaction with cloud content. For example, icons or other visual identifiers may be used within device, operating system and/or application user interfaces to represent an association of files with a particular service based on recognition of the files as cloud content. Additionally, a registered storage location for a device may be employed to obtain relative paths to files that may be used to roam file activity lists between different devices.

Recognizing cloud content

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device access an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both. The partition into slices may be overlapping or non-overlapping, and the same slice (or the whole content) may be fetched via multiple tunnel devices.

System and method for improving internet communication by using intermediate nodes

Selective interaction between networked smart devices is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to an apparatus for interacting with associated smart appliances via a network, where the apparatus comprises a memory; and a processor. The processor is configured to identify one or more associated smart appliances upon activation of a smart device in a network, where the smart device and the associated smart appliances are configured to communicate with each other for notification or for executing one or more commands. The processor is also configured to determine a mode of the smart device upon receiving data from the associated smart appliances, where the mode of the smart device is set through configuring a user experience environment of the smart device. The processor is further configured to selectively process the data from the associated smart appliances based on the mode of the smart device.

Selective interaction between networked smart devices

A user profile based configuration of user experience environment is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to a method for generating a user experience environment for a device. The method comprises accessing a user profile associated with a device in a computing network in response to a request by the device for initializing or refreshing a user experience environment of the device. In one example embodiment, the user profile comprises data and metadata defining a communal user experience environment shared by the device and one or more other devices through the computing network. The method further comprises determining a type of the device, and generating the user experience environment of the device based on the user profile and the type of the device.

User profile based configuration of user experience environment

The disclosed embodiments provide a computing device that supports multitasking environment. The computing device of present embodiment includes a display screen, a processor, and a memory configured to store one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs to be executed by the processor, the one or more programs including instructions for identifying a user command of selecting a first job from a group, determining a second job based on user experienced access, wherein the second job is determined as one of user experience jobs which were accessed by a user while the first job was operating, performing an operating process of the first job with displaying the first job in a first area of the display screen, and performing an operating process of the second job with displaying the second job in a second area of the display screen.

Computing device, operating method of the computing device using user interface

There is described an electronic system including a first electronic device and a second electronic device communicating with each other. The first electronic device includes a first output unit, a first communication unit, and a first controller automatically transmitting supplementary information related to multimedia contents to the second electronic device through the first communication unit while playing the multimedia contents through the first output unit. The second electronic device includes a second output unit, a second communication unit, and a second controller outputting supplementary contents, related to the multimedia contents, through the second output unit on the basis of the supplementary information received from the first electronic device.

Electronic device, electronic system, and method of providing information using the same

The present invention provides a computing device that supports cloud service. The computing device of present invention includes a communication module configured to communicate with an external cloud database. The computing device also includes a display screen configured to display a cloud navigation area containing a cloud icon. The computing device also includes a processor configured to control to detect a user command of displaying cloud contents, the user command being detected by recognizing the cloud icon selected. The processor further configured to control the communication module to receive cloud contents from the external cloud database and to control the cloud navigation area to be enlarged within the display screen and the received cloud contents to be displayed within the enlarged cloud navigation area.
