Abstract

A method for processing contents at an electronic device is provided. The method includes generating a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content via the electronic device, and displaying a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.

Claims (47)

1 . A method for processing contents at an electronic device, the method comprising;

generating a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content displayed via the electronic device; and

displaying a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a second content; and

displaying second scrap information on the first content and the second content through the floating UI.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein displaying the second scrap information comprises displaying a number of contents included in in the first content and a number of contents included in in the second content.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the floating UI comprises displaying an image corresponding to the first content through the floating UI.

5 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

if a user input on the floating UI is received, displaying the first content and the second content sequentially in an order of generation of the contents.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein floating UI is displayed over the one or more contents.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising;

determining whether the first content includes text; and

if the first content includes the text, displaying a menu for providing a text function.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the text function comprises:

extracting the text from the first content; and

extracting first information related to at least one of a phone number, a mail, a schedule, a website address, and map data from the text.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

displaying a menu for executing a first application related to the first information; and

if a user input for the menu is received, executing the first application.

10 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

displaying a first image corresponding to the first content and a second image corresponding to the second content through the floating UI;

receiving a user input for selecting the second image; and

if a user input for sharing content corresponding to the second image is received, transmitting the content corresponding to the second image to a corresponding application or device.

11 . An electronic device for processing a content, the electronic device comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

generate a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content displayed via the display, and

control the display to display a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen.

12 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a second content and control the display to display second scrap information on the first content and the second content through the floating UI.

13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a number of contents included in the first content and a number of contents included in the second content through the floating UI.

14 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display an image corresponding to the first content through the floating UI.

15 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the first content and the second content sequentially in an order of generation of the contents when a user input on the floating UI is received.

16 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the floating UI is displayed over the one or more contents.

17 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the first content includes text, and controls the display to display a menu for providing a text function.

18 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to extract the text from the first content and extracts first information on a phone number, a mail, a schedule, a website address, and map data from the text.

19 . The electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a menu for executing a first application related to the first information, and executes the first application if a user input for the menu is received.

20 . The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the display to:

display a first image corresponding to the first content and a second image corresponding to the second content through the floating UI,

receive a user input for selecting the second image, and

receive a user input for sharing content corresponding to the second image, and

transmit the content corresponding to the second image to a corresponding application or device.

21 . A machine-readable storage medium recording a program for executing a method of processing a content at an electronic device, the method comprising:

generating a first content corresponding to a user input content displayed via the electronic device; and

displaying a floating UI, which displays scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.
