Provided are a method and an apparatus for searching for and acquiring information under a computing environment. The apparatus includes: at least one input device configured to receive a first query input of a first query type and a second query input of a second query type; and a controller configured to output a query input window including a first display item corresponding to the first query input and a second display item corresponding to the second query input, to automatically switch, in response to receiving the first query input, the apparatus from a first state to receive the first query input of the first query type to a second state to receive the second query input of the second query type, and to obtain a search result according to a query based on the first query input and the second query input.

Method for searching and device thereof

A device and a method of managing user information are provided. The device includes a display and a controller. The controller controls the display to display an avatar-based image according to user schedule information, change the avatar-based image according to a user input indicating a request to change the avatar-based image, and update the user schedule information according to the changed avatar-based image. The method includes displaying, on a display of a device, an avatar-based image according to user schedule information, changing the avatar-based image according to a user input indicating a request to change the avatar-based image, and updating the user schedule information according to the changed avatar-based image.

Device and method of managing user information based on image

A method of managing data by a server includes receiving, from a client device, a signal that requests for a content list corresponding to a user account; selecting a content related to the user account and a file name generation rule corresponding to the user account; generating a file name of the content based on the file name generation rule; and providing the content list including the file name of the content to the client device.

Content management method and cloud server therefor

A pen input device and method for a pen computing system. This device includes a touch screen panel mounted on a display screen, an electronic device interfaced with the panel, and a pen for inputting data. When a user handwrites a character, or a symbol on the screen panel, a stream of points is displayed on the touch screen panel to express the handwritten character equivalent to a character handwritten on a paper using a pen. When a user draws a boundary line having a specific shape on the touch screen panel using a pen, the pen input device forms a new entry field inside the boundary line. The user can enter a handwritten character or number in the entry field. In response to this entry, the pen input device converts the entered handwritten character or symbol to a computer text or instruction word. The pen input device also enables the user to determine the attributes and size of the generated entry field.

Pen input method and device for pen computing system

An editing apparatus and an editing method in a pen computing system using a whole display screen as an input window. Edited information written or drawn by a user on a transparent layer, which is displayed over original text, is stored as a picture or translated into computer-processible recognition data. Each transparent layer has a layer identifier. The user can display multiple layers over the original text by selecting layer identifiers to reflect layer information in a picture form or in a computer code form. The layer information, if demanded by the user, can be combined with the original text in order to generate edited text.
