The electronic device can change at least some of attributes (e.g. a location, a brightness, or a size) of the content of the electronic device on the basis of at least one attribute (e.g., an illuminance, a brightness, a size, or a resolution) of the display functionally connected to the electronic device and provide the content to the display functionally connected to the electronic device.

Abstract: A method and electronic device are disclosed. The electronic device includes a processor for controlling multiple displays, configured to detect a selection of an object displayed on a first display operatively coupled to the electronic device, and display a virtual object on a second display operatively coupled to the electronic device in response to the selection, detect a dragging of the selected object on the first display, moving the virtual object on the second display in response to the detected dragging; and, if a release of the dragged selected object is detected on the first display, move or copy the object to the second display.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of registering and using financial information are provided. The method includes acquiring user information related to a user of the electronic device; authenticating the user based on the acquired user information; transmitting, to a second external device, a request to allow a first external device to receive an access right for accessing a security module included in the electronic device, based on the authentication of the user; and receiving financial information for the user from the first external device, based on the access right being granted from the second external device to the first external device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a user interface method and device which are related to a method for inquiring into an inquiry and an inquiry result for searching for a desired scene on the basis of content in multimedia content such as video, the method for searching for content comprising the steps of: receiving an inquiry input for searching for content through a user interface; detecting, as inquiry results, at least one of partial content corresponding to the inquiry, by using description information associated with the content; determining a position for displaying the inquiry results, on the basis of play sections corresponding to each of the at least one of the partial content; determining the size of scene markers corresponding to the inquiry results or the size of areas for displaying the inquiry results, by considering the length of the partial content and/or a relative distance between the inquiry results; and displaying, at least partially, the at least one inquiry result a

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for automatically creating a message in an electronic device are provided. The method includes detecting at least one current situation of a user of the electronic device and automatically creating a message comprising content reflecting the at least one current situation.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for providing a conference call service in a portable terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a communication unit for sending and receiving an IDentifier (ID) of a participant to take part in a conference call, schedule information of the participant, and conference call reservation information by communicating with a conference server, a display unit for outputting the ID, the schedule information, and the conference call reservation information, an input unit for generating input data for selecting the ID, and response data of a conference call connection request, a reservation information generator for identifying a participant to take part in the conference call by detecting the input data for the ID, sending participant information to the conference server, and generating the conference call reservation information including an available conference call schedule by receiving the participant schedule information from the conference server.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an output module, a sensing module, and a processor. The output module is configured to output contents. The sensing module is configured to obtain at least one of user information and environment information. The processor is configured to control an operation of the electronic device in response to at least one of the user information and the environment information depending on an attribute of the contents.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for acquiring, in a reduced time, a system using location information in a mobile communication terminal. When a mobile communication terminal is turned on or disconnects with a base station, a Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is searched in order of closeness of a system to the current location of the mobile communication terminal. At predetermined time intervals, the systems of the PRL are arrayed in order of closeness of a system to the current location, and the arrayed PRL is searched. The present invention can reduce the time taken to acquire a system.

Abstract: A clone terminal detection method is disclosed. The clone detection method for a mobile terminal includes: determining, when a call request is made, by the mobile terminal, a current location and time; sending the current location and time data to a mobile communication system; receiving a pre-stored location and time data of the mobile terminal from the mobile communication system; computing a travel speed of the mobile terminal using the current location and time data and the pre-stored location and time data; comparing the computed travel speed with a preset threshold speed; and determining, when the travel speed is greater than or equal to the threshold speed, that the mobile terminal is a clone terminal.
