Abstract

A method and a device for providing content recommending information are provided. The method includes receiving first log information of an external device, generating content recommending information based on the first log information and second log information of the first device, and displaying the content recommending information.

Claims (54)

1. An operating method performed by a first device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:

receiving, by the at least one processor, login information of a user;

receiving, by the at least one processor, first log information of the user among log information of an external device based on the login information of the user;

obtaining, by the at least one processor, second log information of the user among log information of the first device based on the login information of the user;

detecting, by the at least one processor, recommendation keywords from among keywords included in the first log information and the second log information based on an occurrence frequency of the keywords;

comparing, by the at least one processor, the recommendation keywords and information regarding content, wherein the information regarding content comprises at least one selected from the group of title of the content, metadata of the content, and description of the content;

generating, by the at least one processor, content recommending information comprising recommended content based on a result of the comparing, wherein the recommended content comprise at least one selected from a group consisting of application, book, music, audio data, video data, service, game, multimedia, calendar, schedule, and configuration; and

controlling, by the at least one processor, a display to display the content recommending information.

2. The operating method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first log information comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of cache files, cookies, a browsing history, a download history, and a search history, which are stored in the external device, content stored in the external device, and data necessary for executing at least one content in the external device, and

wherein the second log information comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of cache files, cookies, a browsing history, a download history, and a search history, which are stored in the first device, content stored in the first device, and data necessary for executing at least one content in the first device.

3. The operating method of claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling, by the at least one processor, the display to display first content corresponding to the recommended content differently from second content that does not correspond to the recommended content from among contents displayed on the display.

4. The operating method of claim 3 , further comprising:

magnifying and controlling the display to display, by the at least one processor, the first content at a first magnification; and

reducing and controlling the display to display, by the at least one processor, the second content at a second magnification different from the first magnification.

5. The operating method of claim 3 , further comprising:

controlling the display to display, by the at least one processor, the first content on a first region of a screen; and

controlling the display to display, by the at least one processor, the second content on a second region of the screen.

6. The operating method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the at least one processor, the content recommending information to the external device.

7. A first device comprising:

a display; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive login information of a user,

receive first log information of the user among log information of an external device based on the login information of the user,

obtain second log information of the user among log information of the first device based on the login information of the user,

detect recommendation keywords from among keywords included in the first log information and the second log information based on an occurrence frequency of the keywords,

compare the recommendation keywords and information regarding content, wherein the information regarding content comprises at least one selected from the group of title of the content, metadata of the content, and description of the content,

generate content recommending information comprising recommended content based on a result of the comparing, wherein the content comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of application, book, music, audio data, video data, service, game, multimedia, calendar, schedule, and configuration, and

control the display to display the content recommending information.

8. The first device of claim 7 ,

wherein the first log information comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of cache files, cookies, a browsing history, a download history, and a search history, which are stored in the external device, content stored in the external device, and data necessary for executing at least one piece of content in the external device, and

wherein the second log information comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of cache files, cookies, a browsing history, a download history, and a search history, which are stored in the first device, content stored in the first device, and data necessary for executing at least one piece of content in the first device.

9. The first device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

control the display to display first content corresponding to the recommended content differently from second content that does not correspond to the recommended content from among contents displayed on the display.

10. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

magnify and control the display to display the first content at a first magnification, and

reduce and control the display to display the second content at a second magnification different from the first magnification.

11. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: control display to display the first content on a first region of a screen of the display, and

control display to display the second content on a second region of a screen of the display.

12. The first device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit the content recommending information to the external device.

13. The first device of claim 7 , further comprising a storage unit configured to store the content recommending information.

14. The first device of claim 7 , further comprising an audio output unit configured to output the content recommending information as audio.

15. A first device comprising:

a display; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive login information of a user,

receive first log information of the user among log information of a plurality of external devices based on the log information of the user,

obtain second log information of the user among log information of the first device based on the login information of the user,

detect recommendation keywords from among keywords included in the first log information and the second log information based on an occurrence frequency of the keywords,

compare the recommendation keywords and information regarding content, wherein the information regarding content comprises at least one selected from the group of title of the content, metadata of the content, and description of the content,

generate content recommending information comprising recommended content, based on a result of the comparing, and

control the display to display the content recommending information.

16. The operating method of claim 1 , wherein the first device is one selected from a group consisting of a TV and other home appliances, and the external device is one selected from the group consisting of a smart phone, a tablet, and a wearable device.
