A method, performed by an electronic device, of controlling an external device using a sound signal includes: obtaining the sound signal generated based on a packaging material of the external device being unpacked; obtaining identification information of the external device and operation information about an operation between the electronic device and the external device based on the obtained sound signal; receiving an identification value of the external device from the external device based on the external device being turned on; establishing a communication connection with the external device based on the identification value of the external device received from the external device and the identification information obtained from the sound signal; and transmitting, through the communication connection, based on the operation information, to the external device, data for an operation of the external device.

Electronic device and operating method thereof

A method, performed by a server, of streaming image content, including obtaining one or more frames of the image content which is currently being executed by an electronic device; identifying a plurality of possible user inputs corresponding to the one or more frames; generating a plurality of prediction frame sets respectively corresponding to the plurality of possible user inputs, wherein each prediction frame set of the plurality of prediction frame sets includes a plurality of prediction frames to be displayed after the one or more frames; obtaining metadata from the one or more frames and the plurality of prediction frame sets; generating streaming data of the image content to be provided to the electronic device, based on at least one the plurality of prediction frame sets or the metadata; and transmitting the generated streaming data to the electronic device.

Method of streaming image content between server and electronic device, server for streaming image content, and electronic device for streaming image content

A method of controlling a display device is provided. The method includes a transparent screen to recognize a position of a user in front of the transparent screen and an eye gaze of the user looking at the transparent screen, recognize a position of a background object behind the transparent screen, estimate, based on a distance between the transparent screen and the user, and a direction of the eye gaze of the user, a minimum angular change of the eye gaze by which the display device is able to detect a change in the eye gaze, and display, on the transparent screen, information related to the background object when the background object is at a position within the minimum angular change of the eye gaze from a current eye gaze of the user.

Method for controlling display device including transparent screen, and display device therefor

A device for outputting sound and a method therefor are provided. The sound output method includes predicting external sound to be received from an external environment, variably adjusting sound to be output from the device, based on the predicted external sound, and outputting the adjusted sound.

Device for outputting sound and method therefor

An input of a command for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method of operating the electronic device includes determining at least one anchor point by designating a target to be controlled, based on a first input, identifying an operation to be performed for the target designated by the at least one anchor point, based on a second input, and performing the operation.

Method of controlling device and electronic device

The purpose of the present disclosure is generally to display at least one icon in an electronic device. A method for operating an electronic device comprises the steps of: displaying, on a screen, a plurality of icons for a plurality of applications; as a touch input for enlargement is detected through the screen, enlarging an icon of at least one application among the plurality of applications, and displaying same on the screen so as to include a shortcut function menu; and as a downward touch input on the shortcut function menu is detected, displaying a list of shortcut function menus, wherein the shortcut function menu is an interface element for directly executing a function of the at least one application.

Method for displaying icon and electronic device therefor

A method for user authentication in an electronic device includes: detecting at least one rotation of the electronic device; obtaining at least one rotation angle based on the detected at least one rotation; obtaining at least one code based on the at least one rotation angle and a user authentication angle, the user authentication angle being obtained from a user gaze point that is set, and storing the at least one code as an authentication code; and unlocking the electronic device in response to an input of a code matching the authentication code.

Method for user authentication and electronic device implementing the same

An apparatus and a method are provided that can intuitively and easily recognize hand rotation. The apparatus for recognizing a hand rotation includes a camera for photographing a plurality of hand image data, a detector for extracting circles through fingers of the hand image data and a controller for recognizing hand rotation through changes in positions and sizes of the circles extracted from each of the plurality of hand image data.
