Abstract: A user profile based configuration of user experience environment is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to a method for generating a user experience environment for a device. The method comprises accessing a user profile associated with a device in a computing network in response to a request by the device for initializing or refreshing a user experience environment of the device. In one example embodiment, the user profile comprises data and metadata defining a communal user experience environment shared by the device and one or more other devices through the computing network. The method further comprises determining a type of the device, and generating the user experience environment of the device based on the user profile and the type of the device.

Abstract: Selective interaction between networked smart devices is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to an apparatus for interacting with associated smart appliances via a network, where the apparatus comprises a memory; and a processor. The processor is configured to identify one or more associated smart appliances upon activation of a smart device in a network, where the smart device and the associated smart appliances are configured to communicate with each other for notification or for executing one or more commands. The processor is also configured to determine a mode of the smart device upon receiving data from the associated smart appliances, where the mode of the smart device is set through configuring a user experience environment of the smart device. The processor is further configured to selectively process the data from the associated smart appliances based on the mode of the smart device.

Abstract: There is described an electronic system including a first electronic device and a second electronic device communicating with each other. The first electronic device includes a first output unit, a first communication unit, and a first controller automatically transmitting supplementary information related to multimedia contents to the second electronic device through the first communication unit while playing the multimedia contents through the first output unit. The second electronic device includes a second output unit, a second communication unit, and a second controller outputting supplementary contents, related to the multimedia contents, through the second output unit on the basis of the supplementary information received from the first electronic device.
