Abstract:
A method and an electronic device for providing users with information in a virtual reality environment are provided. The method of providing information in virtual reality environment of an electronic device includes: receiving virtual reality data from a first server, based on location information regarding the electronic device, in a virtual reality space; extracting virtual beacon information including one or more of: a location of the virtual beacon, a direction or distance between the virtual beacon and the terminal in the virtual reality, and information regarding a second server, with identifying information of a virtual beacon, from the received virtual reality data; receiving user context information including information of user related to acquiring the content associated with the virtual beacon; determining whether to transmit the virtual beacon information to the second server, based on the user context information; transmitting at least part of the virtual beacon information to the second server, based on the determination result; receiving content and a display mode from the second server; receiving biometric information; performing the conversion of the content based on the received biometric information; and providing the user with the converted content.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for controlling an electronic device, including switching an electronic document from a first electronic document to a second electronic document, receiving an input corresponding to an arbitrary position of the display, determining one of the first electronic document and the second electronic document as corresponding to the input; and selecting an object corresponding to the arbitrary position where the input is received, based on the determined electronic document.
Abstract:
A method for communication using a fingerprint input is provided. The method includes detecting a fingerprint information input, changing a communication mode according to the fingerprint information input, detecting a peripheral electronic device operating in a fingerprint mode, if the changed communication mode is the fingerprint mode, and communicating with the detected peripheral electronic device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for displaying an input interface of a user device. The method of displaying the input interface includes: receiving an input interface display request; determining whether a preferred input mode according to a user's use record for an application exists; and when existing, displaying an input interface according to the preferred input mode.
