Abstract:
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a display; a communication circuit; a processor electrically connected with the display and the communication circuit; and a memory electrically connected with the processor, wherein when instructions, which can be included by the memory, are executed, the processor acquires message data received through a communication circuit and confirms attribute information included in the message data and, resulting from the confirmation, the display displays first text data for a first time if the text data included in the message data is first text data inputted from a touch screen of an external electronic device, and the display displays second text data for a second time different from the first time if the text data included in the message data is second text data converted from voice data.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving multimedia data in the form of divided data segments. The data transmission method of the present disclosure includes detecting a multimedia data transmission request, segmenting multimedia data into data segments according to a predetermined condition in response to the multimedia data transmission request, and transmitting the data segments selectively or as a whole. By detecting of a gesture on or above a preview image, a plurality of segments can be displayed. In the case of hovering (proximity input) as the detected signal strength changes quantity with a distance of the proximity input, the quantity of preview images displayed may increase or decrease. In an embodiment, the gesture to view more segments may be a pinch-to-zoom gesture. The electronic device is constructed for operation of the methods disclosed herein.
Abstract:
A method of generating a communication group is provided. The method includes displaying a plurality of communication items generated based on a communication between a user and each of communication groups including at least one member, selecting at least a first communication item and a second communication item from the plurality of communication items based on a first user selection, selecting at least one group mode from a plurality of group modes based on a second user selection, and generating a third communication group based on the group mode, a first communication group corresponding to the first communication item, and a second communication group corresponding to the second communication item.
Abstract:
A method of providing information about electronic media content and an electronic device supporting the same are provided. The method includes setting a cycle in at least a piece of content forming the electronic media content, identifying current content of the electronic media content based on information about an address of the at least a piece of content when the set cycle is reached, comparing the current content with previous content in order to determine whether the current content is identical with the previous content, and determining an execution of a content update based on a result of the comparing of the current content with the previous content.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for operating a User Interface (UI) of a conference call terminal are provided. The method includes operating a first camera and a second camera when a conference call is initiated, outputting an output image of a conference call screen comprising a first image and a second image collected from the first camera and the second camera, the first image and the second image being arranged not to overlap, and distinguishing a speaking person's image from another person's image, when the speaking person's image is detected in the output image of the conference call screen.
Abstract:
An electronic device controls a transparent display using a transparent display unit having a front side, a rear side and a lateral side, and allowing penetration of light. A light transmittance adjustable panel is disposed at one or more sides of the transparent display unit and a control unit automatically adjusts light transmittance of at least part of the transmittance adjustable panel in response to data associated with an event.
Abstract:
Provided is an electronic device capable of providing a voice-based intelligent assistance service. The electronic device may include: a housing; a microphone disposed inside the housing; at least one speaker disposed inside the; a communication circuit disposed inside the housing; a processor disposed inside the housing and operatively connected with the microphone, the speaker, and the communication circuit; and a memory disposed inside the housing, operatively connected to the processor, and configured to store a plurality of application programs. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: collect voice data of a user based on a specified condition prior to receiving a wake-up utterance invoking a voice-based intelligent assistant service; transmit the collected voice data to an external server and request the external server to construct a prediction database configured to predict an intention of the user; and output, after receiving the wake-up utterance, a recommendation service related to the intention of the user based on at least one piece of information included in the prediction database.
Abstract:
An electronic device may include a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction, the first direction being opposite that of the second direction, the first surface including a first opening and a second opening; a touch screen display being disposed and visible through the first opening; a mechanical button located at least in part of the second opening and movable in response to a pressure applied thereto; a processor located inside the housing and electrically coupled to the display and the mechanical button; and a memory located inside the housing and electrically coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores a plurality of instructions that cause, upon execution, the processor to: display a screen on at least a portion of the touch screen display; display a virtual button comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) on a specific region of the screen adjacent to the mechanical button such that the GUI visually extends the mechanical button.
Abstract:
A method is provided. The method includes executing a camera application at an electronic device; activating a heart rate monitor (HRM) sensor operatively coupled with a first surface of the electronic device in response to the execution of the camera application; receiving an input signal via the HRM sensor; and capturing, using a processor operatively coupled with the electronic device, an image via an image sensor operatively coupled with a second surface of the electronic device based at least in part on the input signal.
