A method of controlling a sound output of a first audio reproducing device that is operable in a simultaneous listening mode with a second audio reproducing device such that, in the simultaneous listening mode, each of the first audio reproducing device and the second audio reproducing device operate to output content sound based on an audio content signal streamed from a corresponding content providing device through a communication connection, according to their respective sound output settings, the method including detecting a conversation request from the second audio reproducing device; controlling the first audio reproducing device to exit the simultaneous listening mode, enter a conversation mode, and change the sound output setting of the first audio reproducing device, in response to detecting the conversation request; and controlling the first audio reproducing device to output the content sound based on the changed sound output setting while operating in the conversation mode.

Method for controlling sound output of audio reproducing device and electronic device performing the same

A method and a device capable of supporting various display methods using an electronic device and/or glasses-type wearable electronic device (e.g., AR glasses) in an augmented reality (AR) are provided. An AR providing device for AR services includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to provide content through an AR screen, detect a specified external object through the AR screen while providing the content, determine a display mode for providing the content, based on detection of the specified external object, control to display the content through a display of the specified external object, based on the determined display mode, and perform control to display the content through a virtual display area associated with the specified external object on the AR screen, based on the determined display mode.

Apparatus and method for providing contents related to augmented reality service between electronic device and wearable electronic device

A device and method for recommending a custom function to the user in an electronic device. The electronic device may obtain information of a user gesture that repeatedly occurs based on interaction of the user detected by at least one sensor and determine one or more customized functions to be suggested to the user, among functions of the electronic device including a plurality of accessibility functions, in consideration of the information of the user gesture. The electronic device may execute a target customized function selected by the user from among the one or more customized functions.

Device and method for recommending customized function in electronic device

An electronic device may include: a communication module; a processor operatively connected to the communication module; and a memory operatively connected to the processor and configured to store computer program code. The computer program code, when executed, enables the processor to: upon detection of execution of a first operation of a first Internet of Things (IoT) device, obtain, from the memory, a first instruction to operate the first IoT device in a second operation; transmit the first instruction to the first IoT device to operate the first IoT device in the second operation; and monitor execution of the second operation by the first IoT device.

Method for sharing instructions for IoT apparatuses, and electronic device

An example electronic device may be configured, based on a sliding operation to make visible a second portion of a flexible display including at least a portion of a first portion of the flexible display, according to an input, in a state in which the first portion is visible to the outside, to obtain context information in a state in which the second portion is visible, identify one or more workspaces based on the context information, control the display to display a list of the one or more workspaces in a portion of the second portion, and, based on one workspace being selected from the list, control the display to display execution screens of a plurality of applications in the second portion based on the selected workspace.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for controlling same

An electronic device according to various embodiments includes a display, a camera module, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may be set to: display one or more real objects and one or more virtual objects through the display; receive a first input for selecting any one object from among the objects, and then receive a second input related to the picked object; analyze information about grouped objects when a third input is received for grouping the objects selected by repeating the first input and the second input; and provide a function extracted on the basis of analyzing the information about the grouped objects, when a fourth input related to the grouped objects is received.

Electronic device for performing various functions in augmented reality environment, and operation method for same

An electronic device is provided and includes a communication circuit, a memory, and a processor connected to the communication circuit and the memory. The memory may store instructions causing, upon being executed, the processor to store a usage history in the memory, the usage history collected from a plurality of user devices registered in a user device group through the communication circuit, to receive device information indicating functions of a first user device in the user device group from the first user device or a second user device in the user device group through the communication circuit, to select a function to be recommended to a user from among the functions of the first user device, based on at least the usage history, to generate a customized manual to allow the user to use the recommended function of the first user device, and to transmit, to the first user device or the second user device through the communication circuit, the customized manual or recommendation information for recommending the customized manual to the user.

Electronic device for supporting customized manual

Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device for providing a user interface for changing a display mode related to displaying of a virtual reality object, and an operating method thereof. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include a display, a processor operatively coupled to the display, a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: display at least one virtual object in a first display mode in which the at least one virtual object is displayed at a fixed position of the screen irrespective of a Point Of View (POV) of the user by superimposing the at least one virtual object on a real object image corresponding to at least one real object, receive a first input for changing the display mode of the at least one virtual object, and display the at least one virtual object in a second display mode in which a screen display position changes depending on the POV of the user in response to receiving the first input.
