Meanwhile, what is described in FIG. 3 is only one embodiment for explaining an operation in which the user's biometric information and the content provided in the server communicating with the electronic device or the electronic device correspond, and the limitation of the operation of matching the biometric information with the content and group none.

4A is a diagram illustrating an operation of associating a plurality of fingerprint information with content according to an embodiment;

Referring to FIG. 4A, fingerprint information among biometric information of a user may include a plurality of fingerprint information (F41 to F45).

In addition, the user may store each fingerprint information F41 to F45 to correspond to each folder.

Specifically, the control unit may control at least one group to be stored in a server corresponding to each of the plurality of fingerprint information. However, information related to this may be stored in the electronic device itself.

In addition, the control unit may control the content to be included in the group corresponding to the fingerprint information to be output when the user inputs at least one of the plurality of fingerprint information (F41 to F45) after storage.

4A shows that the thumb information F41 among the user's biometric information is stored in correspondence with the FM01 folder. Based on this operation, when a user subsequently inputs fingerprint information corresponding to F41, the electronic device may execute the content included in FM01 and output it to the display unit of the electronic device.

4B is a diagram for explaining an operation of matching iris information with content according to an embodiment. The user's biometric information may include iris information (B42).

On the other hand, the iris information B42 may be provided as information unique to each user, but unlike the fingerprint, it is difficult to implement a plurality of biometric information.

Accordingly, the controller may subdivide the user's biometric information related to the iris based on the number of iris information input per unit time.

Meanwhile, the number of iris information inputs may be implemented by an operation in which a user blinks an eye to input information. That is, the number of times the user blinks for a predetermined time and the group or content stored in the server or the electronic device may correspond.

For example, if the user blinks the eye twice for a predetermined time to input iris information, it may correspond to the FM1 folder.

As another example, if the user blinks the eye three times for a predetermined time to input iris information, it may correspond to the FM2 folder.

In addition, when the corresponding information is stored in the electronic device or the server based on the above-described operation, when the corresponding user later blinks the eye twice and inputs the iris information, the electronic device executes the content included in FM1 on the electronic device and outputs it to the display unit. Can.

Meanwhile, the operations described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B are only an embodiment for describing the operation of correlating the subdivided biometric information with each folder or content, and there is no limitation in the operation of correlating the biometric information with each folder and content.

Referring to FIG. 5, an operation in which a user groups each content is illustrated.

Meanwhile, the server communicating with the electronic communication may form at least one group in which each of the at least one content is grouped, and store the at least one group in association with the biometric information based on a command input by the user to the electronic device. .

At this time, each content C51 to C54 may be grouped based on a folder formed based on a user's command.

Referring to FIG. 5, the FM01 folder includes C51 content, and the FM02 folder includes C52 and C53 content. The FM03 folder also includes C54 content.

In addition, as described above, each user can associate the biometric information of the user with each group. According to another embodiment, the user may correspond to the biometric information of each user to the respective contents C51 to C54. For example, if the first user inputs fingerprint information among his biometric information into the electronic device and stores the corresponding biometric information in the folder of FM02, when the user inputs his fingerprint information, contents included in FM02 are executed. Can. Specifically, in the case of FIG. 5, contents of C52 and C53 may be executed, and the executed contents may be output to the display unit of the electronic device.

In addition, according to another embodiment, fingerprint information among the user's biometric information may correspond to different folders.

Specifically, the user can map his thumb print to FM01, and the user's index finger to FM02. In this case, the control unit may control the content included in the folder corresponding to each fingerprint information to be executed and output to the display unit, respectively. Detailed operations related to this will be described later.

According to another embodiment, if the user inputs iris information and the corresponding iris information is stored in correspondence with FM03, when the user inputs iris information, C54 included in FM03 may be executed.

Meanwhile, FIG. 5 is only an embodiment for explaining the operation of grouping each content of the present invention, and there is no limitation in the operation of grouping each content using a corresponding group or folder.

Referring to FIG. 6, a user inputs his/her biometric information through an input unit and outputs content corresponding thereto.

Specifically, the user may store the biometric information of the user and the content or group of the electronic device or server based on the above-described operation.

In addition, when the user inputs his/her biometric information into the electronic device after storage, the electronic device may output content corresponding to the biometric information.

6 illustrates an operation in which fingerprint information and contents C61 and C62 of a user's biometric information correspond and output.

In FIG. 6, the fingerprint information and content (C61, C62) of the index of the user's biometric information are stored in correspondence, and when the user enters the index fingerprint information in the input section, the contents (C61, C62) can be output without an intermediate procedure. have.

Meanwhile, the controller of the electronic device may control not to output the corresponding contents C61 and C62 when another user inputs fingerprint information or when the user inputs other fingerprint information. In addition, when a user inputs fingerprint information other than the index finger, the controller may output other content corresponding to the fingerprint information to the electronic device.

In addition, although the operation of outputting the content by inputting fingerprint information to the electronic device is described in FIG. 6, there is no limitation on the type of biometric information input by the user and the content output.

Referring to FIG. 7, it is shown that a user inputs biometric information into an electronic device, but content is not executed and content to be executed is output in a preview form.

When the user inputs at least one of the plurality of fingerprint information beyond a predetermined time, the control unit may control to output the content corresponding to each of the plurality of fingerprint information in a preview form to the display unit.

In addition, when comparing FIGS. 6 and 7, FIG. 6 shows an operation of outputting the corresponding content when the user inputs the user's biometric information through a contact of a predetermined time or less in order to output the content quickly. In case the biometric information is input by maintaining contact with the input unit for a predetermined time or more, in this case, the control unit may output the content to be output in a preview form rather than executing and outputting the content.

Specifically, C71 content corresponds to the user's thumb fingerprint information, C71 and C73 contents correspond to the detection fingerprint information, and the C74 content corresponds to the middle finger fingerprint information, indicating that it is output in a preview form.

The output in the preview form does not execute the corresponding content and output it to the display unit, but when the content corresponding to each biometric information is executed, the output form is displayed to provide the user with guide information, so that the content previously stored by the user is recalled. I can do it.

Meanwhile, the preview output operation described with reference to FIG. 7 is only an embodiment of the operation of the present invention, and there is no limitation in the operation of outputting a preview of content based on biometric information.

Referring to FIG. 8, unlike the above-described operation, the controller may correspond to biometric information BI81 and BI82 of a plurality of users to one content C81.

Specifically, the controller of the electronic device receives the biometric information and the other biometric information, determines the biometric information and the at least one content corresponding to the other biometric information, and the biometric information and the at least one corresponding to the other biometric information The content of can be controlled to output biometric information and other biometric information to the display unit based on the input.

In FIG. 8, fingerprint information BI81 and BI82 among biometric information of two users P81 and P82 corresponds to content C81. Each user may store and store a plurality of biometric information in one content, and then input all of the biometric information to output the corresponding content. In order for the electronic device to subsequently output C81 content, each of the biometric information BI81 and BI82 is required, and if only one of the biometric information BI81 and BI82 is input, the C81 content may not be executed. The user may maintain robust security by matching a plurality of biometric information to specific content.

On the other hand, although the operation of the present invention is described based on the fingerprint information in FIG. 8, the operation of the present invention is not limited to the fingerprint information and is not limited to the operation of matching a plurality of biometric information to the corresponding content or group.

9 is a view for explaining an operation related to handwritten content according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9, a user may input handwritten content C10 to the electronic device 1. As described above, the user P9 may store and store previously stored content and biometric information. In storing the content in advance, the user may store the handwritten content C10 created by the user in correspondence with the user's biometric information. On the other hand, the operation of storing and matching the biometric information and content is described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to an embodiment, the user may input the handwritten content C10 to the electronic device in a process of meeting with multiple users as shown in FIG. 9. In this case, the display unit 140 of the display unit of the electronic device may be embodied in the same form as a reception unit capable of receiving user input.

Meanwhile, in the operation illustrated in FIG. 9, the user may store the handwritten content C10 input by the user in correspondence with his/her biometric information. For example, when a user conducts a meeting with another user, the user may store the corresponding handwritten content (C10) at the time when the meeting ends after the meeting, and may correspond to the user's biometric information in storing the handwritten content. have.

Meanwhile, the handwritten content C10 stored in the above-described method may be stored in a memory provided in the electronic device, or may be stored in a server communicating with the electronic device.

In addition, the user can input their own bio-signals later, and the control unit can output corresponding handwritten content C10 corresponding to their bio-signals to the display unit 140 in response thereto.

According to an embodiment, the user may input the handwritten content C10 by a pen 110-1.

The pen (110-1) includes a battery therein, and can emit electromagnetic waves using the power of the battery. The electronic device may generate handwritten content by sensing the emitted electromagnetic wave and outputting a signal corresponding to the position at which the electromagnetic wave is sensed.

Meanwhile, the above-described method has described one embodiment of handwritten content, and is not limited in a specific operation of inputting handwritten content.

Meanwhile, the operation illustrated in FIG. 9 corresponds to handwritten content that is an example of content, and if the specific content is stored in correspondence with biometric information and is output based on the input of biometric information, there is no limitation on the type of content.

10 is a signal flow diagram according to an embodiment.

Referring to Figure 10, the user inputs biometric information (1001), and the electronic device 1 may transmit the user's biometric information and the user's command to the server (1002). The server may store and store the received biometric information and content corresponding to the biometric information (1003).

When the user inputs pre-stored biometric information in the stored state (1003), the electronic device 1 may transmit the biometric information to the server (1004). In addition, the server may transmit content corresponding to the corresponding biometric information (1005). Meanwhile, the electronic device may receive the content and output the content (1006).

11 is a flowchart according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 11, a user may input biometric information into an electronic device (2001). Also, the electronic device or a server communicating with the electronic device may store and store biometric information and content (2002). Subsequently, if the biometric information is visually input (2003), and the previously stored biometric information and the input biometric information match (2004), the electronic device may output the corresponding content (2005).

Also, if the previously stored biometric information and the input biometric information do not match (2004), the electronic device may not output the corresponding content.
