A method of wirelessly connecting a first device to a target device is provided. The method includes searching for at least one device located in an orientation region of the first device, when a first input signal is received, determining the target device based on a direction that the first device is oriented, performing a wireless connection with the target device, and determining whether to maintain the wireless connection with the target device, when a second input signal is received.

Method of wirelessly connecting devices, and device thereof

A method and an electronic device for composing an image are provided. An electronic device includes a display configured to display an image of a user photographed by a camera; an input component configured to receive a user input; a communicator configured to facilitate a communication with an external server; and a processor configured to display the image of the user on the display, set an avatar region within the image of the user based on the received user input, generate an avatar to be displayed on the avatar region, and control the display to combine the avatar with the image of the user and to display the resulting composite image.

Method and device for combining an avatar image with a portion of a user's image

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

An apparatus and method for synthesizing an image and an electronic apparatus using the method are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a memory that stores pictures, a transceiver that communicates with an external server, a display that detects a user interaction, and a processor that reads pictures from the memory. The processor first selects pictures based on a weighted value, determines first attribute information and second attribute information from the first selected pictures, stores the first attribute information and the second attribute information in a database form, second selects at least one picture from among the first selected pictures based on the first attribute information, the second attribute information and user context information, controls the transceiver to receive a product image corresponding to the second selected picture from the external server, and creates a composite image by synthesizing the second selected picture and the product image.

Method for synthesizing image and an electronic device using the same

A terminal device is provided. The terminal device includes a communication interface unit configured to receive image data of an application installed in another terminal device that is streamed from the another terminal device, a display unit configured to display the image data, a control unit configured to receive an installation file associated with the application through the communication interface unit while the image data is being displayed, and to execute the received installation file when authentication of the installation file is completed, and a storage unit configured to allow the application to be installed therein according to execution of the installation file.

Terminal device and method for controlling the same

A method performed at the electronic device for identifying an electronic device and peripheral apparatuses is provided. The method acquires image data regarding emitters of the peripheral apparatuses, determines emitting colors emitted from the emitters based on the acquired image data, and acquires identification information of the peripheral apparatuses mapped with the emitting colors.

Electronic device for identifying peripheral apparatus and method thereof

A terminal includes a first input interface configured to acquire first search information of a first data type, and a second input interface configured to acquire second search information of a second data type, the first data type being different from the second data type. The terminal further includes a searcher configured to identify whether search information is acquired from at least one among the first input interface and the second input interface, and acquire a search result from data storage based on the search information, in response to the searcher identifying that the search information is acquired from at least one among the first input interface and the second input interface. The terminal further includes an output interface configured to provide the search result.
