Abstract

Disclosed are an electronic device and method for displaying related information of parsed data. The method includes receiving an input of selecting one of at least one piece of parsed data displayed on a display, analyzing a data type of the selected parsed data, identifying an application corresponding to the analyzed data type, searching a database of the identified application for information related to the selected parsed data, and displaying the searched information on the display.

Claims (67)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a communication module providing a communication connection with an external device;

a memory; and

at least one processor configured to:

control the display to display parsed data,

receive an input for selecting at least one parsed data,

analyze a data type of selected parsed data in response to the selection input,

identify an application corresponding to the analyzed data type,

search a database of the identified application in the memory for information related to the selected parsed data,

control, in response to first information related to the selected parsed data being stored in the database, the display to display the first information stored in the database, and

control, in response to the first information related to the selected parsed data not being stored in the database, the communication module to transmit a search request related to the selected parsed data to the external device,

wherein the search request is a request for the external device to search a database of the external device for information related to the selected parsed data.

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

identify whether the electronic device can communicate with the external device via a network before the transmission of the search request, and

receive a search result according to the search request from the external device in response to identifying that the electronic device can communicate with the external device.

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

control the display to display second information related to the selected parsed data in response to identifying that the search result comprises the second information, or

control the display to display pre-designated information according to the analyzed data type in response to identifying that the search result does not comprise the second information.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the display to display that there is no searched information in response to identifying that the electronic device cannot communicate with the external device.

5. An electronic device comprising:

a display including a touch panel;

a communication module providing a communication connection with an external device; and

at least one processor configured to:

control the display to display handwriting in response to receiving a handwriting input via the display,

receive an input for selecting at least some of handwriting among the handwriting,

recognize selected handwriting as a text in response to the selection input,

parse the recognized text to convert the parsed text into parsed data,

analyze a data type of the converted parsed data,

identify an application corresponding to the analyzed data type,

search a database of the identified application in the memory for information related to the converted parsed data, and

control, in response to first information related to the selected parsed data being stored in the database, the display to display the first information stored in the database, and

control, in response to the first information related to the selected parsed data not being stored in the database, the communication module to transmit a search request related to the selected parsed data to the external device,

wherein the search request is a request for the external device to search a database of the external device for information related to the selected parsed data.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein, when the selected handwriting is not recognized as a text,

the at least one processor is further configured to:

analyze a text corresponding to the selected handwriting,

control the display to display a sub-menu on the basis of a result of the analysis, and

control the display to display a corresponding text in response to an input of selecting a specific item among items included in the sub-menu.

7. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein, when the data type of the converted parsed data is analyzed,

the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine whether the converted parsed data can be corrected according to the analyzed type, and

perform correction for increasing a recognition rate of the converted parsed data.

8. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify whether the electronic device can communicate with the external device via a network before the transmission of the search request, and

receive a search result according to the search request from the external device in response to identifying that the electronic device can communicate with the external device.

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

control the display to display second information related to the selected parsed data in response to identifying that the search result comprises the second information, or

control the display to display pre-designated information according to the analyzed data type in response to identifying that the search result does not comprise the second information.

10. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the display to display that there is no searched information in response to identifying that the electronic device cannot communicate with the external device.

11. A method of displaying information related to parsed data, the method comprising:

displaying parsed data on a display of an electronic device;

receiving an input of selecting one of at least one parsed data;

analyzing a data type of selected parsed data in response to the selection input;

identifying an application corresponding to the analyzed data type;

searching a database of the identified application in a memory for information related to the selected parsed data;

displaying, in response to first information related to the selected parsed data being stored in the database, the first information stored in the database on the display; and

transmitting, in response to the first information related to the selected parsed data not being stored in the database, a search request related to the selected parsed data to an external device,

wherein the search request is a request for the external device to search a database of the external device for information related to the selected parsed data.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

identifying whether the electronic device can communicate with the external device via a network; and

receiving a search result according to the search request from the external device in response to identifying that the electronic device can communicate with the external device.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

displaying second information related to the selected parsed data in response to identifying that the search result comprises the second information, or

displaying pre-designated information on the display according to the analyzed data type in response to identifying that the search result does not comprise the second information.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

displaying that there is no searched information, on the display in response to identifying that the electronic device cannot communicate with the external device.
