Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device and a method for executing content by using sight-line information thereof, the electronic device comprising: a display; a sight-line tracking module; a memory storing at least one command; and at least one processor operatively coupled with the display, the sight-line tracking module and the memory. The at least one processor is configured to: on the basis of execution of the at least one command, control the display to display at least one content, and identify one content that a user stares at among the at least one content, based on user's sight-line information tracked through the sight-line tracking module, and in response to a sight-line movement on the identified content being sensed, display, on the display, a dynamic user interface (UI) that is dynamically varied according to the sight-line movement, and in response to a path of the user's sight-line movement satisfying a pre-selected condition, execute the identified content. Other various embodiments are also possible.

Electronic device and content executing method using sight-line information thereof

A mobile device, a method performed by the mobile device for receiving a service from a server, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method performed by the mobile device are provided. The mobile device includes communication circuitry configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless transmitter; and a processor configured to determine identification information of the wireless transmitter based on the received signal and signal intensity information based on an intensity of the received signal, and provide the identification information and the determined signal intensity information to an application executed in the mobile device in order to send, to a server, a request for information based on the identification information and the determined signal intensity information.

Method and apparatus for providing service

A mobile device and a method performed by the mobile device for receiving a service from a server are provided. The mobile device includes communication circuitry configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless transmitter, wherein the mobile device is located within a detectable range from the wireless transmitter; and a processor configured to determine signal intensity information based on an intensity of the received signal, and send, to a server, a request for information based on the determined signal intensity information.

A mobile device and a method performed by the mobile device for receiving a service from a service providing apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving a signal which is emitted from the beacon apparatus, wherein the mobile device is located within vicinity of the beacon apparatus; determining an intensity of the received signal; requesting the service providing apparatus for a service based on the determined intensity; and receiving the service from the service providing apparatus.

A method and apparatus for providing a service in a service providing device are provided. The method includes receiving, from a terminal, information about a wireless transmitter/receiver whose vicinity the terminal is located within; determining a differentiated service to be provided to the terminal according to the received information about the wireless transmitter/receiver; and providing the determined differentiated service to the terminal.
