Abstract:
A method, performed by a device, of receiving a recommendation of a position from a position-recommendation apparatus, a device for receiving a recommendation from a position-recommendation apparatus, and a position-recommendation apparatus for recommending a position to a device are provided. The method includes obtaining a selected time, for which a position is to be recommended, from a user, transmitting a position-recommendation request, which includes schedule event information relating to the selected time, to the position-recommendation apparatus, and receiving a response to the position-recommendation request, which includes one or more positions that are searched for based on the schedule event information, from the position-recommendation apparatus.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for providing information are provided. The apparatus includes an interfacing unit configured to receive biometric information, which is measured by an external measuring device, corresponding to a health condition of a body part of a user, from the external measuring device; and a processor configured to determine a visual metaphor representation for characterizing a degree of the health condition based on mapping information between components of the visual metaphor representation and types of the received biometric information, and transform the received biometric information into the determined visual metaphor representation, where the interfacing unit is configured to transmit the transformed visual metaphor representation to an external displaying device.

Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments may disclose a method for providing information in a system including an electronic device and an information providing server and an electronic device. The information providing method includes transmitting location information of a region that a user wishes to search and a local information request signal to the information providing server, by the electronic device, searching local information of the region using at least one social network service of at least one user located in the region, by the information providing server, in response to the local information request signal, transmitting the searched local information to the electronic device, by the information providing server, and displaying a local information user interface (UI) using the local information received from the information providing server and a map of the region, by the electronic device.
