Abstract: A method of processing an image in an electronic device. The method may comprise; obtaining a first image; selecting, based on comparing the first image with a plurality of second images, at least one third image from the plurality of second images, wherein the at least one third image is similar to the first image; identifying an identifier of an image group corresponding to the at least one third image; associating the first image with the identifier of the image group; and notifying, on the device, based on the identifier of the image group, existence of the at least one third image.

Abstract: A method of managing applications installed on a computing device and a computing device using the method are provided. The method includes identifying at least one application based on usage data of the computing device, fetching archive data and user data corresponding to the at least one application, creating backup data by correlating the archive data with the user data, and uninstalling the at least one application from the computing device once the creating of the backup data is completed.

Abstract: A method for providing notifications is provided. The method includes a tangible user interface (TUI) element the receives an input from a computing device coupled to the TUI element. The input is indicative of an outcome corresponding to a functionality of an application on the computing device. Based on the outcome, the TUI element determines at least one illumination pattern from a plurality of pre-stored illumination patterns. Thereafter, the TUI element generates an output based on the at least one determined illumination pattern.

Abstract: A method for managing applications in an electronic device is provided. The method includes displaying a user interface (UI) that has a first region and a second region in which a plurality of objects are displayed, displaying, in the first region, at least one object that corresponds to a designated input from among the plurality of objects, wherein each of the plurality of objects corresponds to one of an application stored in the device and a notification generated in the device, and wherein the at least one object usable for activating at least one function from among a plurality of functions associated with the application or the notification that corresponds to the selected object.
