Abstract

Claims (67)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

a display;

at least one processor electrically connected to the display; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to,

execute an application for multimedia contents,

output, at a first time point, a first audio and a first video of the multimedia contents through the application based on a user input for the application,

obtain information associated with a play of the multimedia contents, wherein the information includes first information on a type of the application for the multimedia contents,

identify a range of time values for synchronizing a second audio and a second video of the multimedia contents, based on the first information on the type of the application,

display, on the display, a user interface (UI) indicating the range of the time values, and

synchronize the second audio and the second video, based on a first time value which is selected by a user from the range of the time values, wherein the synchronized second audio and the synchronized second video are outputted at a second time point after the first time point.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

identify the first time value used to synchronize the second audio and the second video, and

determine a time value indicated to the user for synchronization as the first time value.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the memory stores the information associated with the play of the multimedia contents.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the play of the multimedia contents further includes at least one of second information on an external electronic device, or third information on a type of the multimedia contents.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

obtain a time value indicated to the user for synchronization by performing a simulation for synchronizing the second audio and the second video, based on the information associated with the play of the multimedia contents.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

output the multimedia contents played through the application in a first area of the display, and

output the UI in a second area of the display, which partially overlaps or does not overlap the first area.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the UI includes a control bar, and

wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

move a control point for synchronization positioned at a first point of the control bar to a second point in response to a user input, and

change an outputted video of the multimedia contents from a video corresponding to the first point to a video corresponding to the second point,

wherein an audio and a video of the multimedia contents are synchronized, based on the second point.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

output the audio and the video which are synchronized based on the second point.

9 . An operating method of an electronic device including a display, the method comprising:

executing an application for multimedia contents;

outputting, at a first time point, a first audio and a first video of the multimedia contents through the application based on a user input for the application;

obtaining information associated with a play of the multimedia contents, wherein the information includes first information on a type of the application for the multimedia contents;

identifying a range of time values for synchronizing a second audio and a second video of the multimedia contents, based on the first information on the type of the application;

displaying, on the display, a user interface (UI) indicating the range of the time values; and

synchronizing the second audio and the second video based on a first time value which is selected by a user from the range of the time values,

wherein the synchronized second audio and the synchronized second video are outputted at a second time point after the first time point.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

identifying the first time value used to synchronize the second audio and the second video; and

determining a time value indicated to the user for synchronization as the first time value.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the information associated with the play of the multimedia contents further includes at least one of second information on an external electronic device, or third information on a type of the multimedia contents.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

obtaining a time value indicated to the user for synchronization by performing a simulation for synchronizing the second audio and the second video, based on the information associated with the play of the multimedia contents.

13 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

outputting the multimedia contents played through the application in a first area of the display; and

outputting the UI in a second area of the display, which partially overlaps or does not overlap the first area.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the UI includes a control bar, and

wherein the method further comprises:

moving a control point for synchronization positioned at a first point of the control bar to a second point in response to a user input;

changing an outputted video of the multimedia contents from a video corresponding to the first point to a video corresponding to the second point; and

wherein an audio and a video of the multimedia contents are synchronized, based on the second point.

15 . The method of claim 14 , comprising:

outputting the audio and the video which are synchronized based on the second point.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

executing an application for multimedia contents;

outputting, at a first time pint, a first audio and a first video of the multimedia contents through the application based on a user input for the application;

obtaining information associated with a play of the multimedia contents, wherein the information includes first information on a type of the application for the multimedia contents;

identifying a range of time values for synchronizing a second audio and a second video of the multimedia contents, based on the first information on the type of the application;

displaying, on a display, a user interface (UI) indicating the range of the time values; and

synchronizing the second audio and the second video based on a first time value which is selected by a user from the range of the time values,

wherein the synchronized second audio and the synchronized second video are outputted at a second time point after the first time point.

17 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the range of the time values includes a minimum time value, a maximum time value, and a time value indicated to the user for synchronization, and

wherein the minimum time value, the maximum time value, and the time value indicated to the user are identified based on the type of the application for the multimedia contents.

18 . The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the UI includes a control bar, and

wherein the minimum time value, the maximum time value and the time value indicated to the user are displayed on the control bar.

19 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the range of the time values includes a minimum time value, a maximum time value, and a time value indicated to the user for synchronization, and

wherein the minimum time value, the maximum time value, and the time value indicated to the user are identified based on the type of the application for the multimedia contents.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the UI includes a control bar, and

wherein the minimum time value, the maximum time value and the time value indicated to the user are displayed on the control bar.
