Abstract

An electronic device includes a communication module, a display, and at least one processor operatively connected with the communication module and the display. The at least one processor may be configured to receive an augmented reality image from at least one external device which performs wireless communication with the communication module via the communication module, display a running screen of an application associated with the augmented reality image on the display, determine whether an object associated with input information input to the electronic device is included in the augmented reality image, and display an additional object on the object based at least in part on the input information. In addition, various embodiments recognized through the specification are possible.

Claims (45)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a communication module;

a display; and

at least one processor operatively connected with the communication module and the display,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive an augmented reality image from at least one external device performing wireless communication with the communication module via the communication module;

display a running screen of an application associated with the augmented reality image on the display;

determine whether an object associated with input information input to the electronic device is included in the augmented reality image; and

display an additional object on the object based at least in part on the input information.

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

generate the input information based at least in part on information set directly by user or information according to a situation outside the electronic device.

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

set a priority of the object based at least in part on information set directly by user or a situation outside the electronic device and recognize the object, the priority of which is high.

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

determine whether the object is meaningful to user based at least in part on information set directly by the user or a situation outside the electronic device and recognize the meaningful object.

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

generate the additional object to be at least partially overlapped with the object and allow the additional object to have a face shape representing an emotion.

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

allow the additional object to express the emotion as any one of a plurality of emotion stages included between a positive emotion and a negative emotion based at least in part on the input information.

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

change an emotion expressed by the additional object or a shape of the additional object depending on a type of the object or a change in a state of the object.

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

generate a shape of the additional object based at least in part on a shape of the object or a length ratio of the object.

9. An electronic device, comprising:

a communication module;

a display;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively connected with the communication module, the display, and the memory,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive an augmented reality image from at least one external device performing wireless communication with the communication module via the communication module;

display a running screen of an application associated with the augmented reality image on the display;

determine whether an object associated with stored information stored in the memory is included in the augmented reality image; and

display an additional object on the object based at least in part on the stored information.

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

generate the stored information based at least in part on usage pattern data in which usage patterns of user are accumulated.

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

set a priority of the object based at least in part on usage pattern data in which usage patterns of user are accumulated and recognize the object, the priority of which is high.

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

determine whether the object is meaningful to user based at least in part on usage pattern data in which usage patterns of the user are accumulated and recognize the meaningful object.

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

generate the additional object to be at least partially overlapped with the object and allow the additional object to have a face shape representing an emotion.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

allow the additional object to express the emotion as any one of a plurality of emotion stages included between a positive emotion and a negative emotion based at least in part on the stored information.

15. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

change an emotion expressed by the additional object or a shape of the additional object depending on a type of the object or a change in a state of the object.
