Abstract

An example electronic apparatus and an example method for summarizing content thereof are provided. The example method includes displaying content on a display; based on receiving user input for content summarization, determining, as a content summarization range, from among content areas which are not displayed on the display, a content area corresponding to a location on the display at which the user input is detected; summarizing content within the content summarization range according to a type of the content; and displaying the summarized content along with the displayed content. The example electronic apparatus and example method may summarize the content by using a rule-based algorithm or an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm.

Claims (59)

1. A method for summarizing content of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying a first portion of content on a display;

receiving a user input on the display while the first portion of the content is being displayed;

determining an area of the display corresponding to a position where the user input is received on the display;

identifying, from among a plurality of different non-displayed portions of the content, a first non-displayed portion of the content corresponding to the determined area;

summarizing the first non-displayed portion of the content based on a type of the content; and

displaying the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content along with at least a portion of the first portion of the content.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user input comprises a user touch input to any of upper, lower, right, and left areas of the display.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the type of the content by analyzing the content.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying, from among a plurality of different content summarization units, a content summarization unit based on a type of the user input,

wherein the first non-displayed portion of the content is summarized using the identified content summarization unit.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying, based on receiving user input for scrolling a screen while the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content is displayed, the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content having a content summarization range changed according to the screen scrolling.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first non-displayed portion of the content is summarized based on a data summarization model generated by using a learning algorithm.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein summarizing the first non-displayed portion of the content comprises:

analyzing information of the first non-displayed portion of the content;

extracting main text for a summary sentence based on the analyzed information; and

generating the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content by editing and arranging the extracted text.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, based on the first non-displayed portion of the content comprising shopping content for a plurality of products, the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content comprises images of the products and text about the products.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the summarizing of the first non-displayed portion of the content based on a type of the content and a type of the received input.

10. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

control the display to display a first portion of content;

control to receive a user input on the display while the first portion of the content is being displayed;

determine an area of the display corresponding to a position where the user input is received on the display;

identify, from among a plurality of different non-displayed portions of the content, a first non-displayed portion of the content corresponding to the determined area;

summarize the first non-displayed portion of the content based on a type of the content; and

control the display to display the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content along with at least a portion of the first portion of the content.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the user input comprises a user touch input to any of upper, lower, right, and left areas of the display.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the type of the content by analyzing the content.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to identify, from among a plurality of different content summarization units, a content summarization unit based on a type of the user input and summarize the first non-displayed portion of the content using the identified content summarization unit.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to, based on receiving user input for scrolling while the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content is displayed, control the display to display the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content having a content summarization range changed according to the screen scrolling.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

a memory configured to store a data summarization model generated by using a learning algorithm,

wherein the processor is configured to summarize the first non-displayed portion of the content based on the stored data summarization model.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to analyze information of the first non-displayed portion of the content, extract main text for a summary sentence based on the analyzed information, and generate the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content by editing and arranging the extracted text.

17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein based on the content comprising shopping content for a plurality of products, the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content comprises images of the products and text about the products.

18. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to summarize the first non-displayed portion of the content based on a type of the content and a type of the received input.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for executing a method for summarizing content which, when executed by a processor of an electronic apparatus, causes the electronic apparatus to execute operations comprising:

displaying a first portion of content on a display;

receiving a user input on the display while the first portion of the content is being displayed;

determining an area of the display corresponding to a position where the user input is received on the display;

identifying, from among a plurality of different non-displayed portions of the content, a first non-displayed portion of the content corresponding to the determined area;

summarizing the first non-displayed portion of the content based on a type of the content; and

displaying the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content along with at least a portion of the first portion of the content.

20. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the display to display a first portion of content;

control to receive a user input on the display while the first portion of the content is being displayed;

determine an area of the display corresponding to a position where the user input is received on the display;

identify, from among a plurality of different non-displayed portions of the content, a first non-displayed portion of the content corresponding to the determined area;

summarize the first non-displayed portion of the content based on a type of the content by applying a data summarization model configured to summarize the first non-displayed portion of the content, the data summarization model comprising a model learned by using content and summarized content as learning data;

control the display to display the summarized first non-displayed portion of the content along with at least a portion of the first portion of the content.
