Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device includes: a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to establish communication with an external device; a display configured to display a first image and a second image; a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: acquire a feature of the first image and a feature of the second image; and identify a learning model to be applied to the first image and the second image from among a first learning model included in the electronic device and a second learning model included in a server in communication with the electronic device through the communicator, based on at least one of the feature of the first image or the feature of the second image, wherein the first learning model and the second learning model are configured to convert the first image into a style of the second image to acquire a third image.

Electronic device for generating an image based on a style of another image and control method thereof

A display apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a command, a processor configured to receive a content image and generate a three dimensional (3D) image by mapping the content image to a 3D structure selected from a plurality of 3D structures, each having different geometrical forms, and a display configured to display one viewpoint of the 3D image according to the command.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

An image display apparatus includes a display, a memory configured to store instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to obtain 360-degree content and angle of view information including a plurality of angle of view values selected to reproduce the 360 degree content, and control the display to display the 360-degree content according to the plurality of angle of view values included in the angle of view information.

Image display apparatus and method of operating the same

A mobile device is provided. The mobile device may include a communication interface; a display; a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to: control the communication interface to communicate with an image display apparatus; control a viewpoint of a 360-degree image based on an input; and control the communication interface to transmit, to the image display apparatus, at least one among an image corresponding to the viewpoint of the 360-degree image, and viewpoint control information corresponding to the viewpoint of the 360-degree image.

Image display apparatus, mobile device, and methods of operating the same

A terminal device capable of managing a storage capacity is provided. The terminal device includes a storage which stores a plurality of contents, a controller which selects candidates to be deleted according to a characteristic value from among the plurality of contents and generates a deletion candidate list, a display which displays the deletion candidate list, and an input which receives a user command to select content to be deleted from the deletion candidate list. A method of managing a storage capacity includes checking a storage capacity of a terminal device; in response to the storage capacity meeting a preset capacity condition, selecting candidates to be deleted from among a plurality of contents and generating a deletion candidate list; displaying the deletion candidate list; and deleting at least one content selected from the deletion candidate list.

Terminal device capable of managing storage capacity and management method thereof

A method of and apparatus for constructing a user profile using a content tag, a method of recommending digital content by using a user profile including a tag included in the digital content and a preference value for the tag. According to the methods and apparatus, a user profile is generated by using a content tag, and thus the taste of the user according to digital content consumption can be expressed in more varied ways. Also, by suggesting a method of generating a tag from web content, construction of a user profile for digital content having no tag is enabled. Furthermore, a tag extracted from digital content used by a user is included in a profile and it can be used for a variety of purposes, such as expansion of a comparison scope, use of preference keywords, providing of content links, and expansion of search scope.

Method and apparatus for constructing user profile using content tag, and method for content recommendation using the constructed user profile

A quality of service (QoS) securing apparatus and method using a communication protocol is provided. The QoS securing method is performed by a reception side that is receiving data from a transmission side. The method includes generating information about a changed communication environment according to a change in a communication environment of the reception side, and transmitting the information to the transmission side. An exchange of information about a communication environment using the communication protocol between the reception side and the transmission side can inform the transmission side about resources of the reception side, link characteristics, characteristics of a link on a transmission path, etc., thereby securing a QoS of data communication between the reception side and the transmission side.

Quality of service securing method and apparatus

A method of adaptively updating a first recommended user group list of a first user connected to a network, in which a predetermined number of second users are selected from the first recommend user group list that is a list of users having a high similarity to the first user in consuming contents. A predetermined number of third users having a high similarity to the first user is selected from second recommend user group lists respectively of the selected second users possess. The first recommend user group list is updated to include the selected third users. As the preference of a user changes, the recommend user group may be reconfigured with updated recommend users by reflecting a corresponding preference. Also, quality contents can be provided by recommending a user of a corresponding terminal with the contents preferred by other users in the updated recommend user group list.

Method and appartus for adaptively updating recommend user group

Provided is data transmission method and apparatus. A method for transmitting data from a first device to a second device includes detecting information on a communication environment of the first device; receiving information on a communication environment of the second device from the second device; and adjusting the QoS of the data transmission in an application layer based on at least one of the information on the communication environment of the first device and the information on the communication environment of the second device. Accordingly, when a sender transmits data to a receiver, the QoS of data transmission can be adjusted by considering communication environments of the sender and the receiver, and thus optimized data transmission can be achieved.

Method and apparatus for transmitting data using information on communication environment

A method and apparatus for predicting content preferences of an active user with reference to content preferences of other users that are similar to those of the active user, the method including: measuring similarity ratios of the active user and other users using an overlapping ratio of use of content items commonly used between the active user and the respective other users; generating a recommender list for the active user based on the measured similarity ratios; and predicting a preference rating of the first user with respect to an unused content item based on a preference rating of an other user included in the recommender list with respect to the unused content item. Accordingly, the similarity ratio between the users can be accurately measured so that reliability of a preference rating prediction system can be increased.
