Abstract

An electronic device that classifies and stores content is disclosed. In an electronic device, an electronic device is provided which comprises: a memory; a display; a memory; and a processor which is set to associate a first portion of the content displayed on the display with first color information in accordance with input from a user and to store the associated first portion in the memory.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

at least one processor configured to:

control the display to display content including a plurality of texts, based on a first user input including a drag input on one or more texts among the plurality of texts, select a first part of the content, the first part including the one or more texts,

in response to selecting the first part of the content based on the drag input, control the display to display an object indicating a plurality of colors,

based on a second user input on the object, select a first color among the plurality of colors in a state in which the first part of the content is selected,

store the first part of the content in a first folder corresponding to the first color among a plurality of folders of the memory, wherein the plurality of folders respectively correspond to the plurality of colors,

receive search information regarding the first part of the content from an external server,

store the search information with the first part of the content in the first folder, and

after storing the first part of the content and the search information in the first folder, control the display to display an icon of the first folder, wherein the icon includes the first part of the content and the search information, and a background color of the icon of the first folder is the first color.

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

extract a keyword from the stored first part of the content, and

search for the search information through a web server by using the extracted keyword.

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

based on a third user input, select a second part of the content, the second part being different from the first part of the content,

based on a fourth user input, select a second color among the plurality of colors in a state in which the second part of the content is selected, the second color being different from the first color, and

store the second part of the content in a second folder corresponding to the second color among the plurality of folders.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded therein, the program comprising commands which, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, cause the at least one processor to:

control a display of the electronic device to display content including a plurality of texts,

based on a first user input including a drag input on one or more texts among the plurality of texts, select a first part of the content, the first part including the one or more texts,

in response to selecting the first part of the content based on the drag input, control the display to display an object indicating a plurality of colors,

based on a second user input on the object, select a first color among a plurality of colors in a state in which the first part of the content is selected,

store the first part of the content in a first folder corresponding to the first color among a plurality of folders of a memory of the electronic device, wherein the plurality of folders respectively correspond to the plurality of colors,

receive search information regarding the first part of the content from an external server,

store the search information with the first part of the content in the first folder, and

after storing the first part of the content and the search information in the first folder, control the display to display an icon of the first folder, wherein the icon includes the first part of the content and the search information, and a background color of the icon of the first folder is the first color.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 4 , wherein the commands which, when executed by the at least one processor of the electronic device, further cause the at least one processor to:

extract a keyword from the stored first part of the content, and

search for the search information through the external server by using the extracted keyword.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 4 , wherein the commands which, when executed by the at least one processor of the electronic device, further cause the at least one processor to:

based on a third user input, select a second part of the content, the second part being different from the first part of the content,

based on a fourth user input, select a second color among the plurality of colors in a state in which the second part of the content is selected, the second color being different from the first color, and

store the second part of the content in a second folder corresponding to the second color among the plurality of folders.
