Abstract
An apparatus for processing a digital image capable of recognizing user input by motion of a user through a voice coil motor (VCM) is provided. Also, a method of controlling the apparatus is provided. The apparatus for processing a digital image includes: a body; a VCM installed to the body generating motion signals according to motion of the body; an operation recognition interface processing the motion signals and generating motion data of a digital signal; and a controller recognizing motion of the body from the motion data and recognizing user input according to the motion.
Claims17
An apparatus for processing a digital image comprising:
- a body;
- a voice coil motor (VCM) installed to the body that is configured to generate motion signals according to motion of the body;
- an operation recognition interface configured to process the motion signals and to generate motion data of a digital signal;
- and
- a controller configured to recognize motion of the body from the motion data and to recognize user input according to the motion, wherein user input is recognized while the apparatus is in a reproduction mode,
- wherein motion patterns of the motion data are recognized, each of the motion patterns has pre-set functionality and the pre-set functionality is performed, while the apparatus is in a reproduction mode, according to the recognized motion pattern.
A method of controlling an apparatus for processing a digital image, the method comprising:
- while the apparatus is in a reproduction mode:
- (a) blocking a power supplied to a voice coil included in a voice coil motor (VCM) installed to a body;
- (b) sensing motion signals generated by the motion of the body in the VCM while the power supply is blocked;
- (c) recognizing motion by the motion of the body from the motion signals;
- and
- (d) recognizing user input from the motion;
- (e) recognizing motion patterns of the motion data, wherein each of the motion patterns has pre-set functionality;
- and
- (f) performing the pre-set functionality according to the recognized motion pattern.
