Abstract: An apparatus and a method for providing information are provided. The apparatus includes an interfacing unit configured to receive biometric information, which is measured by an external measuring device, corresponding to a health condition of a body part of a user, from the external measuring device; and a processor configured to determine a visual metaphor representation for characterizing a degree of the health condition based on mapping information between components of the visual metaphor representation and types of the received biometric information, and transform the received biometric information into the determined visual metaphor representation, where the interfacing unit is configured to transmit the transformed visual metaphor representation to an external displaying device.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may disclose a method for providing information in a system including an electronic device and an information providing server and an electronic device. The information providing method includes transmitting location information of a region that a user wishes to search and a local information request signal to the information providing server, by the electronic device, searching local information of the region using at least one social network service of at least one user located in the region, by the information providing server, in response to the local information request signal, transmitting the searched local information to the electronic device, by the information providing server, and displaying a local information user interface (UI) using the local information received from the information providing server and a map of the region, by the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory configured to store at least one of a contact list or a call list, a communication module configured to transmit a phone number, included in at least one of the contact list or the call list, to a server and receive company information, associated with the phone number, from the server, and a control module configured to estimate a user profile using at least one of a word included in the contact list or a word included in the company information.

Abstract: A method of providing Point Of Interest (POI) information in an electronic device may include receiving information on an event, analyzing a text included in the information on the event and a location at which the information on the event is received, and controlling a display to display POI information based in part on a result of the analysis. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the method of providing the POI information in the electronic device may be implemented by the electronic device.
