It will be understood that, although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a "first element," "component," "region," "layer" or "section" discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings herein.

As used herein, "about" or "approximately" includes the values recited and, taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the particular amount of measurements (i.e., limitations of the measurement system), means within an acceptable deviation of the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, "about" may mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10% or 5% of the stated value.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. Thus, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an area shown or described as flat may generally have rough and/or nonlinear features. Furthermore, the acute angles shown may be rounded. Accordingly, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

Hereinafter, various embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. These, however, do not limit the disclosure to the particular embodiments and should be understood to include various modifications, equivalents, and/or alternatives to the embodiments.

Fig. 5 shows a flowchart of operations for transmitting user multimedia content by the electronic device 201 to the server 401, according to an embodiment.

A series of operations explained below may be performed simultaneously by the electronic device 201, or may be performed in a different order, or some operations may be omitted or added.

In operation 501, the electronic device 201 may determine a location of the electronic device 201 based on UWB signals exchanged with UWB anchors (e.g., UWB anchor 403 of fig. 4, which is an example of one of the plurality of UWB anchors of fig. 2) through the UWB communication module 320. When the electronic device 201 is located in the space 210 where the UWB anchor 403 is installed, the electronic device 201 may exchange UWB signals with the UWB anchor 403 through the UWB communication module 320. The UWB anchor 403 may determine a distance between the electronic device 201 and the UWB anchor 403 based on the UWB signal received from the electronic device 201. The UWB anchor 403 may send information about the determined distance between the electronic device 201 and the UWB anchor 403 to the server 401. The server 401 may receive information about respective distances between the electronic device 201 and the plurality of UWB anchors from the plurality of UWB anchors including UWB anchor 403. The server 401 may determine the location of the electronic device 201 by using information about the distance. The server 401 may determine the location of the electronic device 201 in real time and may be updated. The server 401 may determine the area in the space 210 in which the electronic device 201 is located based on the determined location of the electronic device 201 and the map information provided by the map solution 411. The server 401 may send information about the location of the electronic device 201 or the area in the space 210 where the electronic device 201 is located to the electronic device 201.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine the location of the electronic device 201 by using at least one of the UWB communication module 320, at least one sensor, or a camera. The at least one sensor may include a proximity sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, an illuminance sensor, or an IR sensor.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may receive information about a distance between the electronic device 201 and the UWB anchor 403 and map information about the space 210 from the server 401. The electronic device 201 may determine the location of the electronic device 201 based on the received information about the distance. The electronic device 201 may determine an area in which the electronic device 201 is located based on a result of comparing the location with the map information. The electronic device 201 may determine the location of the electronic device 201 and the area in which the electronic device 201 is located in real time.

In operation 503, the electronic device 201 may play (which may include playing for the first time or at another time after the first time) multimedia content corresponding to the region in which the electronic device 201 is located. For example, when the electronic device 201 is located in a first region (e.g., the first region 211 of fig. 2), the electronic device 201 may play the first multimedia content corresponding to the first region.

In operation 505, the electronic device 201 may acquire interest information corresponding to an element for determining an interest level of content played back to the electronic device 201. The interest information may include user location information, content play information, and interaction information according to table 1 presented below. For example, the interest information may include first information regarding a time that the electronic device 201 stays in a specific area, second (play) information related to the play of the content, and/or third information related to the user's interaction with the content.

TABLE 1

According to an embodiment, the location information of the user may be understood to be substantially the same as the location information of the electronic device 201. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine the user's interest level in the multimedia content played by the electronic device 201 based on the interest information. For example, the electronic device 201 may measure the time the user stays in the specific area by measuring the time the user enters the specific area and the time the user leaves the specific area. The electronic device 201 may determine that the longer the user stays, the higher the user's interest in the multimedia content corresponding to the particular region. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine that the user has a higher interest in the played multimedia content than the non-played multimedia content. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine multimedia content having a long play time or a high play percentage as multimedia content of high user interest. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine the multimedia content on which the interaction is performed as multimedia content of high user interest. The electronic device 201 may determine the multimedia content on which the interaction is performed for a long time (e.g., relative to another interaction) or the manipulation is performed a plurality of times as the multimedia content of high user interest.

According to an embodiment, based on a real-time or near real-time determined location of the electronic device 201, the electronic device 201 may determine a first time at which the electronic device 201 enters a particular region (e.g., the first region 211, the second region 212, the third region 213) included in the space 210 and a second time at which the electronic device exits therefrom. The electronic device 201 may determine a time (referred to as a "dwell time") for which the electronic device 201 is staying in a particular area based on a difference between the first time and the second time. The electronic device 201 may determine a user's interest level in an object included in a specific area or multimedia content corresponding to the object based on the determined stay time. The user's interest level in the object located in the specific area and the multimedia content corresponding to the object may be proportional to the time the electronic device 201 stays in the specific area. For example, when the electronic device 201 remains in the first region 211 for a longer time than the electronic device 201 remains in the second region 212, the electronic device 201 may determine that the user's interest in the object included in the first region 211 is higher than the user's interest in the object included in the second region 212.

According to an embodiment, the play information may include information on whether the multimedia content corresponding to the plurality of areas included in the space 210 is played, a play time, and information on a ratio of an actual play time (i.e., how long the play was watched) to a total play time (i.e., a total duration of the played multimedia content).

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine the user's interest level in the object included in the specific area or the content corresponding to the object based on the play information. The electronic device 201 may determine that the user's interest in the played content is higher than the user's interest in the non-played content. Similarly, the electronic device 201 may determine that the user's interest in content played multiple times is higher than the user's interest in content not played or played once. The electronic device 201 may determine that the user's interest in content having a long play time is higher than the user's interest in content having a short play time. The electronic device 201 may determine that the ratio of the actual playing time of the content to the total playing time is proportional to the user's interest level in the content. For example, the electronic device 201 may determine that the user's interest in content whose ratio of the actual playing time to the total playing time of the content is high is higher than that of content whose user contrast ratio is small.

According to an embodiment, the user's interactions may refer to various actions of the user with respect to the content or the object corresponding to the content. For example, the interaction may include searching multimedia content regarding the object (e.g., the first object 211-1, the second object 212-1, the third object 213-1 of fig. 2), capturing the object by a camera (e.g., the camera module 180), or experiencing Augmented Reality (AR) content related to the object. The information related to the user interaction may include information about whether the user performs the interaction, the execution time, and/or the number of executions.

In operation 507, the electronic device 201 may generate user multimedia content based on the interest information. The electronic device 201 may generate the user multimedia content based on the interest information in response to obtaining user input on a display (e.g., display 861 of fig. 8) for generating the user multimedia content.

Referring to table 2, a method of generating user multimedia content by the electronic device 201 when there is one space 210 or two or more spaces 2 will be described.

TABLE 2

According to an embodiment, when the number of multimedia contents played by the electronic device 201 is less than a designated number (e.g., 5), the electronic device 201 may omit the generation of the user multimedia contents regardless of the number of spaces 210, and may display a notification for recommending the play of the multimedia contents. According to an embodiment, when the number of multimedia contents played by the electronic device 201 is greater than or equal to a specified number and the number of multimedia contents played by substantially 100% (or another suitable threshold play amount, such as substantially 80%) is less than the specified number, the electronic device 201 may calculate the play time of the played multimedia contents in percentage, may select the specified number of multimedia contents, and may generate the user multimedia contents by using the selected multimedia contents, regardless of the number of spaces 210. The electronic device 201 may calculate the play time of the multimedia content in percentages by dividing the actual play time of the multimedia content by the total play time. According to an embodiment, when the number of multimedia contents played by the electronic device 201 is greater than or equal to a specified number and one space 210 exists, the electronic device 201 may randomly select the specified number of multimedia contents from among the multimedia contents played by the electronic device 201 and may generate the user multimedia contents by using the selected multimedia contents. According to an embodiment, when the number of multimedia contents played by the electronic device 201 is greater than or equal to a specified number and there are two or more spaces 210, the electronic device 201 may select at least one multimedia content in each space. The number of multimedia contents selected in each space may be equal to a designated number.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may select at least one content from a plurality of contents including multimedia content played by the electronic device 201 based on the interest information. For example, the electronic device 201 may select as many content of high user interest as the number (e.g., 5) set by the user from the played content based on the interest information. The electronic device 201 (or another suitable device, such as the server 108, the electronic device 104, etc.) may generate user multimedia content by using at least one selected content. User multimedia content may be understood as multimedia content. For example, there may be pieces of information corresponding to the content played by the electronic device 201, and the user multimedia content may be understood as an image or video content continuously displaying images. The information may include an image, title, subtitle, production date, location, time or date of playing the content of the object corresponding to the played content. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine whether to generate the user multimedia content according to the amount of content played by the electronic device 201. For example, when the number of played contents is smaller than the set number (e.g., 5), the electronic device 201 may omit the generation of the user multimedia contents. When the number of played contents is smaller than the set number, the electronic device 201 may display a user interface (e.g., user interface 901a of fig. 9) that displays guide information indicating that the user multimedia contents are not generated through the display 340. In another example, the electronic device 201 may generate the user multimedia content when the number of content played is greater than a set number (e.g., 5). When the number of content played is greater than the set number, the electronic device 201 (or another suitable device, such as the server 108, the electronic device 104, etc.) may generate user multimedia content that continuously displays images (e.g., images displayed on the user interfaces 902, 903, 904 of fig. 9) corresponding to the played content via the display 340. The electronic device 201 may generate a data file by performing multimedia generation and capturing or recording the generated user multimedia content.

According to an embodiment, when the number of played contents is greater than the set number (e.g., 5), the electronic device 201 may determine a method of selecting at least one content selected to generate the user multimedia content based on the number of contents actually played for a total play time (e.g., substantially 100% played contents). For example, when the number of contents played is greater than the set number (e.g., 5), and the number of contents actually played for the total play time is smaller than the set number (e.g., 5), the electronic device 201 may select the set number of contents (e.g., 5) having a high play ratio obtained by dividing the play time of the played contents by the total play time. The electronic device 201 (or another suitable device, such as the server 108, the electronic device 104, etc.) may generate user multimedia content by using a selected set amount of content.

According to the embodiment, when the number of contents played is greater than the set number and the number of contents actually played for the total play time is greater than the set number, the electronic device 201 may randomly select the set number of contents from the contents actually played for the total play time.

According to the embodiment, when the number of contents played is greater than the set number and the number of contents actually played for the total play time is greater than the set number, the electronic device 201 may select the set number of contents having a high interest level based on the interest information. The electronic device 201 (or another suitable device, such as the server 108, the electronic device 104, etc.) may generate user multimedia content by using the selected content.

According to the embodiment, when a place where indoor positioning can be performed by using the UWB method includes a plurality of spaces, for example, when there are a plurality of spaces 210 shown in fig. 2, and when the number of contents actually played for the total play time is greater than a set number, the electronic device 201 may select at least one content corresponding to each of the plurality of spaces based on the interest information. For example, when the venue includes a first space and a second space, the electronic device 201 may select at least one content corresponding to the first space and may select at least one content corresponding to the second space in order to generate the user multimedia content. The sum of the numbers of contents respectively selected for the plurality of spaces may be the same as the set number. For example, when the set number is 5, the electronic device 201 may select three contents corresponding to the first space, and may select two contents corresponding to the second space. The electronic device 201 (or another suitable device, such as the server 108, the electronic device 104, etc.) may generate user multimedia content by using the selected content.
