Abstract: An apparatus includes a display; a communicator; a processor; and a memory, the memory storing instructions to: obtain a plurality of images relevant to media content displayed on the display, which are stored for a period of time when an object identifying command requesting identification of an object contained in the media content is received. The command is received from a different electronic apparatus through the communicator. The processor obtains a candidate image containing the object being displayed, by identifying objects contained in the plurality of images, and transmits the candidate image to the different electronic apparatus via the communicator. The apparatus may use an AI data recognition model learned based on a rule-based model or machine learning, a neural network or a deep-learning algorithm. The rule-based model or the AI data recognition model may identify an object contained in an image by regarding the image as an input.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for group-controlling devices. Group information on interoperable devices among a plurality of electronic devices is acquired. The interoperable devices indicated in the group information are controlled as a group.

Abstract: A system for operating an electronic device supporting enhanced data processing is provided. The system includes a plurality of electronic devices supporting playback of content; and a managing device delivering content whose data is processed by a certain electronic device among the plurality of electronic devices to a preset electronic device when playback of the content in the certain electronic device is requested.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for transmitting messages related to operations of electronic devices. A management apparatus is notified of an event that occurred in a specific one of a plurality of electronic devices. The management apparatus determines one or more target devices in response to notification of the event that occurred in the specific electronic device. An event message corresponding to the event that occurred in the specific electronic device is created. The management apparatus transmits the event message to the one or more target devices. The one or more target devices output the received event message.
