Abstract

An electronic device and its operating method according to various embodiments, may be configured to provide first content received from an external electronic device to a user waring the electronic device on his/her face using a display of the electronic device, identify a movement of an external object in a visible direction of the user see-through or using the display which provides the first content, and provide second content to the user through at least part of the display so as to display the second content related to the first content in relation to the external object according to the movement.

Claims (56)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication circuitry;

a display;

at least one sensor; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the display to display first content received from an external electronic device via the communication circuitry,

control the at least one sensor to identify a movement of an external object visible through the display,

based on an attribute of the external object, determine an attribute of second content related to the first content, the second content including at least one of moving image data or still image data, and

based on the determined attribute of the second content, control the display to display the second content related to the first content at a position in relation to the external object according to the movement.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify a first movement which is set to select at least part of the first content from the movement,

identify a second movement which is set to select the second content from the movement in relation to the external object, and

based on the second movement, display the second content in relation to the external object.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the first movement, display guide content for guiding the second movement on at least part of the display which displays the first content.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the at least one sensor to identify another movement of the external object or another external object visible through the display, and

display the first content and the second content and control the second content on the display based at least on the another movement.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based at least on the control for the second content, control the first content.

6. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

at least one sensor; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the display to display first content,

control the at least one sensor to identify a movement of an external object visible through the display,

based on an attribute of the external object, determine an attribute of second content related to the first content, the second content including at least one of moving image data or still image data, and

based on the determined attribute of the second content, control the display to display the second content related to the first content at a position in relation to the external object according to the movement.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the second content comprises control content for controlling the first content.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the at least one sensor to recognize an object visible through the display, and

control the display to display the first content related to the object.

9. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify a first movement which is set to select at least part of the first content from the movement,

identify a second movement which is set to display the second content from the movement in relation to the external object, and

based on the second movement, control the display to display the second content related to at least part of the first content in relation to the external object.

10. The electronic device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a camera,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the camera to obtain an image, and

wherein controlling the display to display the first content comprises displaying the first content based upon the image.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the camera or the at least one sensor to identify a movement of the external object in a direction for acquiring the image.

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

identify a first movement which is set to select at least part of the first content from the movement,

identify a second movement which is set to display the second content from the movement in relation to the external object, and

based on the second movement, display the second content in relation to the external object.

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

based on the first movement, display guide content for guiding the second movement on at least part of the display which displays the first content.

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

identify another movement of the external object or another external object visible through the display, and

display the first content and the second content and control the second content on the display based at least on the another movement.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based at least on the control for the second content, control the first content.
