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 and apparatus for unlocking a lock screen in an electronic device are provided. A method for unlocking a lock screen in an electronic device includes displaying a lock screen in which objects of the On and Off state have been randomly disposed, detecting a gesture for unlocking the lock screen, determining whether or not a first unlocking value generated in response to the gesture is identical with a predetermined second unlocking value, and unlocking the lock screen if the first unlocking value is identical with the second unlocking value.
Abstract:
An electronic device according to an embodiment includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions which when executed, cause the processor to, in a first operation when the electronic device is connected to a first external accessory device via the electrical connector, receive at least one first identification (ID) from the first external accessory device via the electrical connector, render a first screen including a first plurality of icons for application programs on the memory based at least in part on the first ID, and provide data associated with the first screen to an external display through the first external accessory device via the electrical connector and in a second operation when the electronic device is connected to a second external accessory device via the electrical connector, receive at least one second ID from the second external accessory device via the electrical connector, the second ID being of the same type as the first ID, receive at least one third ID from the second external accessory device via the electrical connector, the third ID being of a different type from the first ID, render a second screen including a second plurality of icons for the application programs on the memory based at least in part on the third ID, and provide data associated with the second screen to the external display device through the second external accessory device via the electrical connector.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit, a light emitting device, and a control circuit. The wireless communication circuit establishes wireless communication with a first external device. The light emitting device emits light. The control circuit shares information on a location of the electronic device with the first external device. The control circuit also receives a first signal from the first external device via the wireless communication circuit, and, in response to the first signal, the light emitting device emits light according to a selected flashing pattern which indicates at least a part of the location of the electronic device.
Abstract:
Provided are an electronic device and method of voice command processing therefor. The electronic device may include: a housing having a surface; a display disposed in the housing and exposed through the surface; an audio input interface comprising audio input circuitry disposed in the housing; an audio output interface comprising audio output circuitry disposed in the housing; at least one wireless communication circuit disposed in the housing and configured to select one of plural communication protocols for call setup; a processor disposed in the housing and electrically connected with the display, the audio input interface, the audio output interface, the at least one wireless communication circuit, and a codec; and a memory electrically connected with the processor. The memory may store at least one codec supporting multiple modes associated with different frequency bands. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: setting up a call using the wireless communication circuit, selecting one of the multiple modes based on the selected communication protocol, selecting a speech recognition model based on the selected mode, receiving a voice command from the outside of the electronic device using the wireless communication circuit, and processing the voice command using the selected speech recognition model.
Abstract:
A method for displaying images so that a lower graphical user interface (GUI) object and an upper GUI object do not overlap each other in a specific area in a screen of an electronic device is provided. The displaying method includes detecting a non-overlapping area in a lower GUI object, determining whether upper GUI objects are displayed to overlap the non-overlapping area, and if the upper GUI objects are displayed to overlap the non-overlapping area at least in part, changing a display configuration of at least one of the GUI objects.
Abstract:
Various embodiments relate to an electronic device and method for providing information. The electronic device receives status information of an external device and then displays a combination of the received status information and stored user information, e.g., phonebook, of the external device. The external device creates or updates the status information thereof and delivers the created or updated status information to the electronic device. The electronic device displays the received status information of the external device on a specific region.
