An electronic device having a call handling function and operation method therefor are provided. The electronic device may include a display, a memory configured to store first contact information of a counterpart, a transceiver, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to control for sending a request for first contact information of the counterpart through the transceiver to an external electronic device in response to a user request, receiving second contact information of the counterpart through the transceiver from the external electronic device, and presenting the first contact information and second contact information on the display.

Method and apparatus for providing contact information

Disclosed is a method of delivering policy information for offloading between different types of wireless communication systems by a first electronic device. The method includes: performing a tethering function; determining whether to release the tethering function; identifying a first electronic device connected based on the tethering function when the tethering function is released; delivering policy information for offloading between different types of wireless communication systems to the identified first electronic device; and releasing the tethering function after delivering the policy information to the first electronic device.

An electronic device offers acquired location information to a point-of-interest (POI) management server when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The POI management server offers POI identification information to the electronic device when the location information is matched to one of registered POIs. When the POI identification information is received from the POI management server, the electronic device performs a certain action.

Method and apparatus for providing location based service

A mobile terminal for storing supplementary information together with a captured screen when the mobile terminal captures a screen displayed on a display unit, and a controlling method thereof is provided. The method of controlling a mobile terminal including a display unit includes capturing a screen of a process displayed on the display unit, extracting supplementary information associated with the process displayed on the display unit, and storing the extracted supplementary information together with the captured screen, as a captured image.

A device and a method operative therein for sharing content with at least one second device. A messaging application is executed in which a contact list is displayed. A selection is detected, from among contacts displayed on the contact list, of only a portion of the contacts to receive shared content. Presence information is published to all of the contacts on the contact list. An indication of contents available for sharing is included in the presence information published to only the selected portion of the contacts. The device may be a control device in a local area network, and the shared content may be retrievable from a peripheral device controlled by the control device, where information on the peripheral device is included in the presence information.

Presence-based content sharing

A system and method for presenting content through a plurality of electronic devices are provided. The method includes presenting content through a plurality of electronic devices comprising at least a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the presenting of the content comprises displaying a first portion of the content through the first electronic device and displaying a second portion of the content through the second electronic device, identifying an input for at least one of the plurality of electronic devices while the content is being displayed, setting the plurality of electronic devices as a first group comprising the first electronic device and a second group comprising the second electronic device, based on at least the input, and independently presenting the content through the first group and the second group, based on the setting.

Method and system for presenting content

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for managing a series of files. A series of files may be grouped and a reproduction progress of a most recently reproduced file may be tracked. The next serial file in the series is reproduced, when the reproduction progress of the most recently reproduced file satisfies a threshold.

Reproduction of file series

Provided are a terminal and a method for managing a call function of a terminal, including a call termination and call retransmission function based on a state of a terminal using a voice recognition or a sensor. The method for managing a call function of a terminal includes sequentially acquiring at least one input voice during a phone call, extracting a finally acquired voice from the at least one voice when call termination is requested, and storing information about the finally acquired voice in a database under a call termination command.
