Various embodiments provide an electronic device and a method therefor, the electronic device comprising: a voice recognition unit; a memory; a display; and a processor functionally connected to the voice recognition unit, the memory or the display, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire password information for the content selected by a user, when the voice information of a user recognized by the voice recognition unit includes a hidden command; request the user to articulate the obtained password information; and encrypt the content based on the received voice information according to the request. In addition, other embodiments are possible.

Method for operating content and electronic device for implementing same

A method and an apparatus for entering text in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes focusing on a selected text field and displaying a SIP, when the predefined text field is selected from among text fields, scroll-displaying the text fields in a display area in response to a requested scroll, when a user requests the scroll of the display area of the text fields, and identifying, from a result of the scroll display, whether the selected text field is being displayed in the display area, and determining whether text is to be entered into the selected text field.

Method and apparatus for entering text in portable terminal

An apparatus for tracking a location of a wireless terminal based on an image is provided. The apparatus includes an image matching database to store images classified by regions, and a matcher to receive a query image captured by a camera module of the wireless terminal and image matching data that contains region information about where the query image is captured, to search the image matching database for a matching image that corresponds to the image matching data, to determine if the query image matches the matching image, and to send the wireless terminal location information that corresponds to the matching information if the query image matches the matching image.

Apparatus and method of tracking location of wireless terminal based on image

A method of changing into a screen of an Augmented Reality (AR) service in a mobile communication terminal including a camera is provided. The method of changing into a screen of an AR service in a mobile communication terminal includes displaying a prior screen different from an AR service screen, detecting a predetermined event to change display of the prior screen to the AR service screen, driving the camera if the predetermined event has been detected, capturing an image using the camera, and displaying the AR service screen rendered based on the image captured by the camera.

Mobile communication terminal for providing augmented reality service and method of changing into augmented reality service screen

An apparatus and a method for providing a three Dimensional (3D) map showing an area of interest in real time are disclosed. The method includes receiving terminal view information of a plurality of terminals, determining an object of interest on a 3D map based on the received terminal view information; and reconfiguring a 3D map including the object of interest. Position information on an area receiving a lot attention from the public, path information by which the user moves to the area, and a preview image of the area in real time may be provided.

Apparatus and method for providing 3D map showing area of interest in real time

A method for displaying an idle screen, which is varied depending on a specific condition of a mobile communication terminal, for better graphic impressions. When the user of the mobile communication terminal travels between countries, and a border crossing is detected, a landmark image of a corresponding country is displayed on the idle screen. In addition, an animation effect is displayed on the idle screen so as to inform of the occurrence of the corresponding event. Accordingly, a novel graphic effect is provided to the user via a user interface having enhanced entertaining features.

Method for providing idle screen layer endowed with visual effect and method for providing idle screen by using the same

A method for providing navigation information, a machine-readable storage medium, a mobile terminal and a server are provided. The method includes generating a preview image captured by a camera and location information of the mobile terminal; transmitting the preview image and location information to a server, receiving, from the server, route guide information generated based on the preview image and the location information, and displaying the route guide information to a user.

Method for providing navigation information, machine-readable storage medium, mobile terminal, and server

A method for providing a dialing screen which visually changes depending on status information providable through a mobile terminal. Particularly, the dialing screen (such as an alphanumeric character inputting screen) displays status information including network status information, time-zone information of a transmitting side or receiving side, etc., which can be provided through the mobile terminal, with graphic elements thereof embossed. Therefore, it is possible to output a dialing screen in which specific status information is reflected, so that the various tastes of the users can be reflected in the dialing screen and simultaneously visibility of the transmitted information increases. The method may include the steps of determining a received signal strength and a current time zone of the mobile communication terminal and displaying an animation data on a background image wherein the animation data changes based on the strength of the received signal.

Dialing screen method and layer structure for a mobile terminal
