Abstract

According to various embodiments, a method of operating an electronic device includes: executing an application implemented to provide a function for searching at least one content associated with at least one artist; When contacting an external device, acquiring a data set associated with a short-range communication circuit included in the external device; and controlling the state of the first album object corresponding to the identification information to an activated state among at least one album object corresponding to at least one album of a specific artist provided on the first execution screen of the application, and the remaining second album object. An operation method may be provided, including an operation of controlling the state of the album object to a deactivated state.

Claims (27)

1 . An operation method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

executing an application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one content associated with at least one artist;

acquiring a data set associated with a short-range communication circuit included in an external device, wherein the data set includes identification information associated with the external device;

controlling a state of a first album object corresponding to the identification information to an activated state among at least one album object corresponding to at least one album of a particular artist provided on a first execution screen of the application; and

controlling a state of a remaining second album object to an inactivated state;

when the first album object is selected:

providing a second execution screen of the application including at least one first content associated with the first album object; and

registering a particular photo card based on photographing a photo card associated with the external device, and providing a third execution screen of the application including at least one second content associated with the particular photo card.

2 . The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the registering the particular photo card, and providing the third execution screen of the application including at least one second content associated with the particular photo card comprises:

photographing an image of the photo card through a camera; and receiving information about at least one second content associated with the particular photo card based on transmitting the photographed image to a server.

3 . The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one album object in the inactivated state is set to provide a function of guiding contact of the external device to the electronic device when selected.

4 . The operation method of claim 3 , wherein the first album object controlled to the activated state is set to provide a function of providing the second execution screen and the third execution screen, and the remaining second album object is set to maintain a function of guiding contact of the external device to the electronic device when selected.

5 . The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the providing the second execution screen of the application including at least one first content associated with the first album object comprises:

updating at least one first content associated with the first album object and updating the second execution screen to include the updated at least one first content.

6 . The operation method of claim 1 , further comprising:

adding at least one content found through the application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one content associated with the at least one artist to the second execution screen.

7 . An operation method of an electronic device, comprising:

executing an application implemented to provide a function for searching for at least one content;

acquiring a data set associated with a short-range communication circuit included in an external device, wherein the data set includes identification information associated with the external device;

controlling a state of a first content group corresponding to the identification information of a particular content group among a plurality of content groups provided on a first execution screen of the application and controlling a state of a remaining second content group to an inactivated state;

providing at least one digital content associated with the first content group;

photographing an image corresponding to the particular content group; and

providing at least one digital content corresponding to the photographed image.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the providing of at least one digital content associated with the first content group comprises:

adding at least one content found through the application implemented to provide a function for searching for the at least one content in at least one digital content associated with the first content group.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the providing of at least one digital content associated with the first content group comprises:

updating at least one digital content associated with the first content group; and providing the updated at least one digital content.
