Methods and apparatus are provided for obtaining a service is provided. Information about an external device is received at a terminal from the external device. It is determined whether the external device has been registered based on the information about the external device. Service information associated with the external device is provided when at least the external device has been registered.

Methods and apparatus for obtaining a service

An electronic device and an operating method therefor, according to various examples, can be configured to: detect an activation signal generated by the electronic device; activate a predetermined communication function in response to the activation signal; and receive a reference signal through the activated communication function.

Electronic device and operating method therefor

A method and an apparatus for sharing content are provided. Information about at least one content is transmitted to an external device. Information about associated content that have been searched for by the external device based on the transmitted information about the at least one content is received from the external device. Content to share with a second user device are selected from among the associated content based on a predetermined condition. Information about the selected content is transmitted to the second user device.

Method and apparatus for sharing content

Disclosed are an electronic device and an operation method thereof according to various embodiment, the method comprising: reproducing first content on a first display unit having variable transparency; detecting an object in response to the first display unit; controlling transparency in at least a partial area of the first display unit on the basis of the object; and reproducing second content on a second display unit, disposed to be spaced from the first display unit.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

A mobile device, a method performed by the mobile device for receiving a service from a server, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method performed by the mobile device are provided. The mobile device includes communication circuitry configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless transmitter; and a processor configured to determine identification information of the wireless transmitter based on the received signal and signal intensity information based on an intensity of the received signal, and provide the identification information and the determined signal intensity information to an application executed in the mobile device in order to send, to a server, a request for information based on the identification information and the determined signal intensity information.

Method and apparatus for providing service

Provided are a method and apparatus for selecting a region on a screen of a device. The method includes recognizing a signal due to dragging from outside of the screen of the device, and determining a selection region based on a location where the drag is released.

Method and apparatus for selecting region on screen of mobile device

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for controlling smart wear. The apparatus for controlling smart wear includes a motion capture unit, an error information unit, a motion estimation unit, and an actuation unit. The motion capture unit captures a motion of a user using sensors included in the smart wear. Then error information unit generates user error information using reference motion information and the results of the motion capture. The motion estimation unit estimates a subsequent motion of the user using the user error information. The actuation unit controls the smart wear of the user in real time using the estimated subsequent motion and the user error information.

Apparatus and method for controlling smart wear

A method and apparatus for moving an object between pages is provided. The method includes displaying a first page including an object; generating a first signal in response to the object on the first page being moved to a predetermined area of the first page; displaying a plurality of pages, including the first page, in response to the first signal; generating a second signal in response to the object being moved to overlap with a second page; and moving the object to the second page in response to the second signal.

Method for moving object between pages and interface apparatus

A mobile device and a method performed by the mobile device for receiving a service from a server are provided. The mobile device includes communication circuitry configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless transmitter, wherein the mobile device is located within a detectable range from the wireless transmitter; and a processor configured to determine signal intensity information based on an intensity of the received signal, and send, to a server, a request for information based on the determined signal intensity information.

A method and apparatus for determining an input are provided. The method includes authenticating an external device, when the external device approaches in a predetermined range; determining an area approached by the external device and determining whether the determined area is valid; and outputting a predetermined indication to a predetermined area related to the area approached by the external device.

Method and apparatus for determining input

A mobile device and a method for providing a User Interface (UI) thereof are provided. The mobile device includes a pressure detecting unit configured to detect a pressure, a user interface unit configured to perform a user interface, and a control unit configured to control the user interface unit to activate when the pressure detecting unit detects pressure and determine a function being performed by a user interface input through the user interface unit and the pressure detected at the pressure detecting unit.

Mobile device and method for providing user interface (UI) thereof

A mobile device and a method performed by the mobile device for receiving a service from a service providing apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving a signal which is emitted from the beacon apparatus, wherein the mobile device is located within vicinity of the beacon apparatus; determining an intensity of the received signal; requesting the service providing apparatus for a service based on the determined intensity; and receiving the service from the service providing apparatus.

A communication method and a terminal adopting same are provided. The method includes setting a calling terminal in a short-range wireless communication standby mode; and transmitting, upon detecting movement of the calling terminal during the short-range wireless communication standby mode, data to a called terminal via a short-range wireless communication.
