According to various embodiments of the present invention, the first application 220 may generate new content using a plurality of contents provided by the second application 230, and may provide the generated new content to the third application 210 .

The operation of generating the content in the first application 220 and transmitting it to the third application will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of generating content in a first application according to various embodiments of the present invention and providing the generated content to a third application. Referring to FIG. 11, in operation 1101, the first application may include one piece of content from the second application 230, or a first piece of content and a second piece of content. In operation 1103, the first application may use at least some of the first content and the second content included in the plurality of contents in accordance with a predetermined condition, and transmit a new third content different from the first content and the second content Can be generated.

In operation 1103, the first application 220 receives from the second application 230 at least a portion of the first content, that is, a specific one of the components of the first content, or at least a portion of the second content, The function information corresponding to a specific component among the components of the content can be received. The predetermined condition for generating the third content may include at least one of a content detection reference condition, a generation time condition, or a generation method condition.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the content detection criterion condition may include a content detection criterion condition to be detected for generation of the third content among a plurality of content provided in the second application 230 and stored in the content database have. The content detection reference condition may include at least one of an untransmitted content criterion, a specific time criterion, a user setting criterion, a specific second application criterion, or an updating period criterion of content.

The non-transferred content reference may include a criterion for detecting content that is stored in the content DB of the first application 220 but is not provided to the third application 210 as content for generating the third content. The specific time reference may include a criterion capable of detecting, as content for generation of the third content, content in which a predetermined number or more of identical contents are received from a plurality of second applications within a specific time. Since each of the second applications does not know the subscription information for the content of the third application, a certain number of identical contents can be intensively provided from a plurality of second applications within a specific time. For example, when the third application subscribes to the content type of the Olympic ski, the first application intensively receives the content of the Olympic ski to be provided to the third application from each of the plurality of second applications can do.

The setting criteria of the user may include a criterion capable of detecting content for generation of the third content for each content type selected by the user or for each third application selected by the user. The specific second application criterion may include a criterion capable of detecting content of a predetermined third application as content for generation of the third content. If the content provided in the specific second application is provided to the user in the third application through the first application but the user does not check for a few days, the content may be accumulated. Thus, in the first application, the unidentified content provided to the specific second application may be detected as the content for generation of the third content. For example, in the case of KakaoTalk premium services, many content can accumulate if the user does not check the content provided for several days. In order to prevent such a case, the unidentified content provided by the premium service of KakaoTalk can be detected as the content for generating the third content. When the third content generated by using the unidentified content is provided to the third application in the first application, the third application may delete the unconfirmed content.

The update period criterion of the content may detect, as the content for generation of the third content, content similar in update period among a plurality of contents provided in the plurality of second applications. For example, if the update period is every morning, at least one of today's morning newspaper content or today's performance information content may be detected as the content for generation of the third content. Or if the update period is monthly, at least one of this month's sport information content or this month's sport information content can be detected as the content for generation of the third content.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generation time condition may include a condition for a time when the third content can be generated using the plurality of contents provided in the second application 230. The generation time condition may include at least one of a preset number of contents or a preset time period.

The preset number of contents may include a reference number by which the detected contents according to the content detection reference condition can be generated with the third content. For example, when the number of preset content is 100, if the detected content is 100 according to the content detection reference condition, the third content can be generated using the 100 contents.

In addition, the preset number of contents can be set for each third application. For example, if there are 100 detected contents according to the unconfirmed content condition of the content detection criterion condition, there are 20 pieces of untransmitted content to the third application of the first electronic device, The number of contents preset for each third application or the third application of the first electronic device and the third application of the second electronic device, if the content transmitted to the third application of the second electronic device to which the communication is connected is 80, So that the preset number of contents can be determined. When the preset number of contents for the third application of the first electronic device is 80 and the preset number of contents for the third application of the second electronic device is 15, The third content to be provided to the third application of the second application may be generated. Or a third application of the first electronic device and a third application of the second electronic device, and if the preset number of contents is 120, the 80 applications are used as the third application of the first electronic device The third content may be generated and the third content to be provided to a third application of the second electronic device using the twenty content may be generated.

The predetermined period may include a specific period in which the third content can be generated using the content periodically detected according to the content detection reference condition. For example, the third content may be generated using untransmitted content every week. The predetermined time period may include a specific time at which a predetermined number or more of the same kind of content is received. If the same content types provided from a plurality of second applications are more than a predetermined number within the specific time, the third content can be generated using a content that is a certain number or more within the specified time. For example, if a certain number of sports contents are received from different sports second applications at a specific time, for example, 30 minutes, for example, 20 or more sports contents, the third content is generated using the 20 sports contents .

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generation method condition may include a method of generating the third content using the content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition. The generation method condition includes a third content generation unit capable of classifying contents detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition into a predetermined unit and generating third content using the classified contents .

If the third content generation unit is the number unit, the detected contents may be classified into a certain number, for example, 5 or 10, and each of the classified contents may be generated as the third content. Also, when the third content generation unit is for each content type or for each third application, the content type, for example, the notification content type (provided from each of the S notification third application or V notification third application) For example, each of the content classified as the health third application may be generated with the third content.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generation method condition may set the type of the third content. When the third content is generated for the same content among the contents detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition, the type information for the same content may be added to the third content. For example, when a third content is generated using sports content, category information called "sports" may be added to the third content. The third application receiving the third content may classify the third content into sports content through the category information added to the third content.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, when the third content is generated using different content among the content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition, the most recently received content type criterion The content may be classified according to the most received content type criterion and the third content may be generated using the classified content. In the third content, category information on the most recently received content or category information on the most received content may be added. Also, the third content generated using a plurality of sports contents, or the third content generated using the most recently received or most received content type, may be provided with a new type of content, for example, summary content Is added to the third application and can be transmitted to the third application.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generation method condition may include a method of generating a third content based on the content of the content. For example, it is possible to classify the content of each content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition, for example, according to a sender (sender), and generate the third content using the classified content. , And Twitter / facebook / e-mail, it is possible to classify the content for generating the third content in the order of the name of the sender (sender) who has created and transmitted each of Twitter / facebook / e-mail.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generating method condition may include a method of generating a third content according to the importance of the content. The position to be displayed in the third content may be determined and arranged according to the content detection criterion condition and the importance of each content detected according to the generation time condition. The importance of each content is determined by past transmission / 1 based on the storage history of the application, or based on the importance of the sender (sender) of the content, or based on a predetermined content type or a preset third application. For example, in the case of Twitter / facebook / e-mail, the importance of the sender can be determined according to the number of times the sender has created each of Twitter / facebook / e-mail.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generating method condition may include a method of configuring the third content. The content may be composed of various fields, and may be composed of components such as Description, Title body 1, and Body 2. The third content may be generated as a specific one of the components of each content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition. For example, when "Title" among the components of the content is set as a specific component for constituting the third content, a third content composed of only "Title" Can be provided. When a specific "Title" is selected from the third content in the third application, the first application can provide the content including the selected specific "Title " to the third application. The third content may be generated using attribute information of the content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition. The third content may be configured using at least one of text, images, and moving images included in each content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition as attribute information. For example, when the image is used as attribute information, each piece of content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition may be configured as a thumbnail to generate the third content.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the generation method condition may include a method of setting functional information in a third content. The first application 220 may generate at least a part of the third content, that is, function information corresponding to at least one content among the plurality of contents constituting the third content. Wherein the function information enables activation of a function provided in the third application receiving the third content, the first electronic device in which the third application is executed, or the second electronic device in which communication is established with the first electronic device, . The function information may include information that the first electronic device or the second electronic device can be switched from the sleep state to the wake-up state.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, when the third content is generated using the content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition, the function information setting method for the third content may include: The function information provided by the second application that generated each of the plurality of included contents can be set to be the same. For example, when the third content is composed of the title of the first content and the title of the second content, the title of the first content is set to the same function information for the execution of the set Google Map application Or the function information for the execution of the S planner application in which the title of the second content is set can be set equally.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, when the third content is generated by using the content detected according to the content detection reference condition and the generation time condition, Can be set. For example, when generating the third content using five pieces of content, new title information of each of the five pieces of content is detected to generate the third piece of content, and new function information The first application can generate and set the additional information as well as the functional information in the third content. The method of claim 1, wherein the additional information comprises a second electronic device that is connected to the first electronic device when the capability information set in the third content can not be performed in a first electronic device that is executing a third application in which the third content is received And may include control information that can be used to execute the function information. If the third electronic content is provided to the second electronic device, for example, the wearable device, the third content may have additional information that the second electronic device can control the first electronic device. If the function information set in the third content provided in the second electronic device is full browsing, the second electronic device having a small screen size may request full browsing to the first electronic device. If the function information set in the third content provided to the second electronic device is a navigation application execution, the second electronic device having a small screen size may request the first electronic device to execute the navigation application. If the coupon card content is present in the third content provided to the second electronic device, the second electronic device not including the modem or the NFC function transmits the barcode information or the payment information using the first electronic device And the payment information can be displayed on the screen of the first electronic device having a large screen size.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, when the third content is provided to the first electronic device, additional information is set in the third content that the first electronic device can control the second electronic device . The first electronic device may control the second electronic device to perform the function information while performing the function information set in the third content using the additional information. For example, when a navigation application execution screen is displayed in accordance with performance of the function information set in the third content in the first electronic device, the audio output according to the navigation application execution screen or the voice input by the user As shown in Fig. Further, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device can perform the same function, a first electronic device or a second electronic device capable of performing the function information set in the third content in the first electric device, As shown in FIG. And a first electronic device or a second electronic device capable of performing the function information set in the third content in the second electric device may be selected by the user.

In operation 1105, when the new third content is generated through the operation 1103, the first application 220 can determine the property of the third application to which the third content is to be provided or the state of the electronic device in which the third application is executed have. The attributes of the third application may include a first attribute and a second attribute. The first attribute is a state in which the execution of the third application is activated, and the attribute is a state in which execution of the third application is inactivated.

The state of the electronic device may include a first state and a second state. The first state may be a state in which the electronic device is powered on or the electronic device registered in the first application and another electronic device, for example, a wearable device in communication with the electronic device, . And the second state is a state in which the electronic device is powered off or the electronic device registered in the first application and the communication state between the electronic device and another electronic device, for example, a wearable device, Indicating a non-good state.

In operation 1107, if the attribute of the third application or the state of the electronic device on which the third application is executed is determined to be the first attribute or the first state, then in operation 1109, the first application 220 transmits the third content 3 applications. However, if the attribute of the third application or the state of the electronic device on which the third application is executed is determined to be the second attribute or the second state in operation 1107, in operation 1111, the first application 220 transmits the third content And not waiting for the state of the electronic device to be switched to the first attribute or the first state without transmitting to the third application.

The first application 220 is not yet transmitted during the waiting through the 1103 operation and the 1105 operation while waiting for the status of the electronic device to transition to the first attribute or the first state And may generate the third content using the contents. For example, when a user has a main first electronic device and a watch-type second electronic device, and both of the electronic devices assume that a third application capable of receiving content from the first application is registered, A case where the communication state between the two electronic devices is not good or the execution of the third application of one electronic device is inactivated may occur. In this case, the content to be provided to each third application may be continuously accumulated in the first application without being delivered.

In such a case, if the user activates the execution of the third application or the communication state between the two electronic devices becomes good, the untransmitted contents can be collectively transmitted to the third application. When the non-transmitted contents are transmitted to the third application collectively, since the user receives a large amount of contents at once, it is difficult to confirm desired contents among a large amount of contents. In some cases, It may increase greatly.

When a situation occurs in which the electronic device can not receive a large amount of content as described above, through the operation of FIG. 11 according to various embodiments of the present invention, the first application generates and provides a large amount of unidentified content as new third content , The user can effectively show information about a large amount of content (for example, summarizing the non-transmitted content 20 as the third content, which is one summary content). In addition, when the user selects the information of the content to be watched among information on a large amount of content, the user can provide substantial content corresponding to the selected content information to the third application.

An information providing method of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention is a method for providing information in a first application running on an electronic device, comprising: receiving a first content from at least one second application and a plurality of contents including a second content And in the first application, generating a third content different from the first content or at least some content of the second content based on the first content or the second content . The receiving operation may include receiving functional information corresponding to at least a portion of the first content or at least a portion of the second content. Wherein the generating comprises: generating functional information corresponding to at least a portion of the third content, wherein the functional information is stored in a third application receiving the third content, the electronic device, or the electronic device And may include information for activating a function provided by the external device. And sending an at least some content of the third content to a third application. Wherein the sending operation is a sending operation of sending the at least some content of the third application and the third application when the attribute of the third application or the state of the electronic device on which the third application is executed is the first attribute or the first state, And refraining from sending the at least some content of the third application if the attribute of the application or the state of the electronic device on which the third application is executed is a second attribute or a second state.

The third application 210 is an entity providing the user with the content generated from the second application 230, and can receive the content from the first application 220. The third application 210 may be a kind of application that provides the user with the information of the content and the interaction with the user by using the provided content and the function information included in the content. The third application 210 may select at least one of the components of the content to provide the provided content to the user and may also perform a function of matching the set of function information set to the selected component of the content.

12 shows a third application installed in an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention. 12 shows four display areas capable of displaying the contents 1 to 4 that can be provided by each of a plurality of third applications installed in the electronic apparatus 104. [

Figure 13 illustrates a plurality of content types provided in one second application in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. 13, in one second application, at the time corresponding to the time information included in today's event content 1301 or the time information included in today's to-do content 1302, the today's event content 1301 or the today's to- And may provide the content 1302 to the third application 210. As shown in FIG. 13, in one second application, a plurality of contents, such as today's event content 1301 and today's to-do content 1302, can be provided to the third application 210.

Figure 14 illustrates one content type provided by a plurality of second applications in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, in the event second application among the plurality of second applications, the present event content 1401 may be provided to the third application 210 at a time corresponding to time information included in today's event content 1401 . In the second application among the plurality of second applications, the to-do content 1402 of the present day can be provided to the third application 210 at a time corresponding to the time information included in the to-do content 1402 of today. As shown in FIG. 14, in the plurality of second applications, the event content 1401 of today and the to-do content 1402 of today can be provided in the third application.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the third application 210 may compare the content received from the first application 220 with the amount of information displayed to the user according to the state of the third application or the state of the third application, The display method can be adjusted. The third application 210 may be an application installed in the first electronic device in which the first application 220 is installed (in particular, a home application / launcher, a lock application, a desktop widget application, or a general application). The third application 210 may also be an application installed in a second electronic device that is external to the first electronic device and connected using the communication means with the first electronic device.

Thus, the characteristics of the third application may be an attribute of the application, or it may be the attribute of the installed electronic device or the state of the electronic device. The information can be displayed to the user in a different form according to the installed electronic device even if it is the same third application. For example, the amount of information displayed by the content can be adjusted according to the size of the display area of the application. For example, in the case of a third application in which a screen is a large electronic device, all of the components constituting the content, such as description, title body 1, body 2, etc., can be displayed on one screen . However, in the case of the third application, which is performed on a small screen device, only the main constituent elements constituting the content can be displayed. Thereafter, the user is prompted to display other components that are not displayed among the components of the content according to the input, or to display information of the content to the user in a sequential manner while displaying other components that are not displayed among the components of the content, Can be displayed.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, even if the same screen size is displayed using a widget, a pop-up window, a multi-screen, or the like, and a third application is displayed using a small portion without using the full screen of the electronic device , And in the third application, the display area or the position for displaying the content may be checked to adjust the amount of the content of the content displayed to the user. In addition, even when a plurality of contents are received from a plurality of second applications or a plurality of contents are received from one second application, the third application simultaneously displays the received contents in the limited display area for displaying the contents Or may display only a subset of the components of each content to the user in order to display them sequentially.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, each component of the content may be weighted by the first application 220 or the second application 230 to effectively display the content in the display area. For example, assuming that a component of the content has text 1 of weight 0.3, text 2 of weight 0.2, image 1 of weight 0.5, if only one of the three components should be shown, Only the image 1 can be displayed in the display area as the information of the content.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the first application 220 or the second application 230 may display an important part in each component of the content centered on the display area to effectively display the content. For example, when a face is set as an important part in an image, only the cropped image considering the display area around the face image in the whole body image can be displayed in the display area as information of the content.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the third application 210 may also change the display method of the information of the content differently depending on the state of the electronic device 104 or the situation of the user using the electronic device 104. [ For example, if it is determined that the user who has the electronic device is running or the user who has the electronic device is using the vehicle by monitoring the movement of the electronic device 104, the font size for displaying the information of the content may be changed , A method of adjusting the amount of components to be displayed among the components of the content, and the like, so that the user can easily acquire the information of the content. As another example, when the earphone is inserted into the electronic device 104, the information of the content can be outputted to the user through the earphone. Further, when the battery level of the electronic device 104 is lower than the threshold value or the network state of the electronic device 104 is not good, only the component including the text among the components of the content is detected, , Only text-oriented content information may be displayed. The content providing operation of the third application can be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In addition, when the third application 210 provides information configured by using the received content to the user, the third application 210 uses the security attribute, the exposure attribute, or the layer attribute set for each component of the content, The display method and the display amount of the content can be adjusted according to the setting of 230. [ For example, the components of the content for which the security attributes are set are not directly displayed to the user, but after the blank or the dark processing, authentication is performed such as security setting (ex, password, pattern lock) Can be displayed. Another example of a security attribute is to use face authentication. When displaying the components of the content with security attributes set to the user, the corresponding components of the content can be displayed after the face authentication using the front camera provided in the electronic device, and the face of the person other than the user is authenticated through the camera You can also control the display. That is, when another person other than the user is recognized together with the user through the camera unit while the screen of the electronic apparatus is being viewed together, the components of the content having security attributes are not displayed on the display area. As another example of the layer attribute, if the user is determined as a target (pay, vip member, or youth) who can receive a certain degree of advanced information, after the user authentication is performed, the content is displayed to the user . For example, it is possible to discriminate whether the user is registered as a paid or free member, a VPI member, or a general member through the face authentication of the user recognized through the camera. Or the gender or the age can be determined through, for example, the face authentication of the user recognized through the camera

The third application according to various embodiments of the present invention may display different information depending on whether the user has confirmed the information configured using the content. When the information configured by using the content is confirmed by the user, the user may leave only the main portion of the information, which is known as the title, and the remaining portions, such as the title.

The third application 210 according to various embodiments of the present invention may display the information differently according to the current display mode of the electronic device displaying the information configured using the content to the user. For example, when the information is displayed on the 3D TV, it may be displayed differently depending on whether the current display mode of the TV is the 2D mode or the 3D mode. For example, when the current display mode of the TV is the 3D mode, A hologram can be displayed.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a content providing operation in a third application according to various embodiments of the present invention.

15, when it is determined that the content is received from the second application in operation 1501, in operation 1503, the third application 210 determines whether the state of the electronic device in which the third application 210 is installed or the attribute of the third application 210 Can be determined. The content received in operation 1501 may include capability information associated with at least one of the components of the content.

In operation 1503, the third application 210 may determine the status of the electronic device or the attributes of the third application. In operation 1505, if the status of the electronic device or the attribute of the third application is determined to be the first status or the first attribute in operation 1505, then at operation 1507, at least a portion of the received content may be functionally To a user in a first format via an output device coupled to the first device. Or in step 1505, if the status of the electronic device or the attribute of the third application is determined to be the second status or the second attribute, the third application 210 determines whether the received content is to be output through the output device 2 format.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the state of the electronic device can be determined based on various factors, such as a bending state of the electronic device, a folded state of the electronic device, a gripping state of the electronic device, a movement of the electronic device, A communication state between the electronic device and the second electronic device to which the electronic device and the communication are connected, or a lock state of the electronic device, and the like. The state of the electronic device may thus include a first state or a second state different from the first state. For example, if the unbent state of the electronic device is the first state, the bending state of the electronic device can be the second state. Or the folded state of the electronic device may become the second state, for example, if the electronic device is in the first state in which the electronic device is not folded.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the attributes of the three applications may include the size of the display area capable of displaying the content. According to the size of the display area, the attribute of the third application may include a first attribute or a second attribute different from the first attribute.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the output device is an apparatus capable of providing the content to a user, comprising: a display of the electronic device capable of displaying the content; a vibration or flash signaling the reception of the content; (E.g., wireless fidelity (Wifi), Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), global positioning system (GPS)) capable of communicating content to a second electronic device to which the communication is connected can do.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the vibration may be detected when the electronic device is preset in a vibration mode, or when the received content is a certain content, when the current time is included in the predetermined content, Or if the electronic device is located in an enclosed space such as a pocket, or if the current time is a preset time, for example, a late night time, the vibration can be used to inform the reception of the content.

According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the flash is controlled by the flash when the electronic device is preset in the silent mode, or when it is detected through the illumination sensor that the electronic device is located in a dark place, The reception of the content can be notified. Further, the communication module may transmit the received content to a second electronic device connected via BT, for example, a display unit of the vehicle, and display the received content. Alternatively, the user can receive and display the content related to the room in which the electronic device is located, for example, the indoor guide map content, through the BT communication or the BLE communication with the indoor device in which the electronic device is located.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, a format for providing content through the output device may include a first format and a second format different from the first format. Also, the first format and the second format may be configured differently depending on the type of the output apparatus. For example, when displaying the content via a display as the output device, the status of the electronic device or the third application may be dependent on the attribute, and the first format may indicate that all components of the received content are displayed And the second format may indicate a state in which only at least some of the components of the received content may be displayed.

Also, for example, when the output device informs reception of the content through vibration, it can output the vibration in the first format or the second format according to the position of the electronic device or the information of the content. If the location of the electronic device is not located in an enclosed space such as a pocket or the ambient noise is below a threshold value, the reception of the content in a first format that generates vibration at a preset vibration intensity or frequency of vibration may be informed. However, when the position of the electronic device is located in an enclosed space such as a bag, or when ambient noise is higher than a threshold value, a method different from a previously set vibration intensity or frequency The number of times the vibration occurs) in the second format. When the content has a medium or low importance such as general mail, it can notify reception of the content in the first format that generates vibration with a preset vibration intensity or vibration frequency. When the content is of importance such as urgent mail, vibration is generated by a method different from a previously set vibration intensity or number of times (a vibration occurs more frequently than a preset vibration intensity or a number of times greater than a preset vibration frequency) And notify receipt of the content in the second format.

In addition, for example, when outputting the content through a speaker as the output device, the content may be outputted through the speaker in a first format or a second format according to the state of the electronic device or the information of the content. If the state of the electronic device is a state in which the speaker is exposed, it may provide the content in a first format informing receipt of the content to a preset level through the speaker or outputting information of the content. However, if the state of the electric field device covers the speaker, for example, if the electronic device is in an inverted state, a notification sound informing reception of the content at a level higher than a preset level or information of the content is outputted Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > format. ≪ / RTI > If the content is a mail, the sender of the mail may output a notification sound informing reception of the content or information of the content in a first format that outputs a man's voice through the speaker if the sender is a man. Alternatively, if the sender of the mail is an ear speaker, it may output a notification sound informing reception of the content or information of the content in a second format for outputting through a speaker in a loud voice.

The content can also be output via the flash in a first format or a second format according to the ambient brightness of the electronic device or the information of the content, for example, when the output device informs reception of the content through the flash have. If the ambient brightness of the electronic device is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the brightness level of the flash may be decreased to inform reception of the content in a first format for operating the flash. However, if the ambient brightness of the electronic device is below a threshold value, the brightness level of the flash may be increased to inform reception of the content in a second format for operating the flash. When the content is medium or low in importance, such as general mail, the first color LED, for example, a green LED may be output to inform the reception of the content in the first format. And if the content is of importance such as an urgent mail, a second color LED, for example, can announce the reception of the content in a second format that outputs a red LED.

Also, for example, when the content is displayed through the communication module as the output device, if the communication module, for example, BT or GPS or Wi-FI is on, the position of the electronic device is detected using the communication module , The information content of the place where the electronic device is located may be provided to the electronic device in a first format or a second format according to the type of the information content of the place. During the provision of specific content, e.g., health content, in a first format via the display of the electronic device, the electronic device communicates via the communication module with a second electronic device, e.g., an arm band, Once connected, the second electronic device may transmit the content to the second electronic device in a second format capable of displaying the health content on the display of the second electronic device.
