Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes initiating communication at an electronic device, providing first information associated with the communication, and providing second information associated with the communication, the second information being provided in a mode that is different from a mode in which the first information is provided.

Claims

1. A method for a communication service by a user device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

initiating a call communication with a communication device;

displaying first information, which is related to a voice communication with the communication device, at a first location in a display of the user device, while calling the communication device to establish the call communication or while the call communication is established;

receiving, from a server, second information on a service to which the communication device subscribes for providing the user device with the service; and

displaying second information at a second location, which is different from the first location, in the display of the user device, while calling the communication device to establish the call communication or while the call communication is established,

wherein the first information and the second information are displayed on the display concurrently, and

wherein the second information comprises information related to a social network service (SNS) activity of a user of the communication device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the initiating of the call communication comprises sending a search query on an internet.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information comprises at least one of a name of the communication device, a contact of the communication device, a profile of the communication device, a service capability of the communication device, status information of the communication device, and an item being capable to serve by the server.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing the call communication with the communication device based on a user input responsive to at least one of the first information and the second information.

5. A user device for a communication service in a wireless communication system, the user device comprising:

a storage having instructions stored therein;

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein upon execution of the instructions, the processor is configured to;

initiate a call communication with a communication device,

display first information, which is related to a voice communication with the communication device, at a first location in a display of the user device, while calling the communication device to establish the call communication or while the call communication is established,

receive, from a server, second information on a service to which the communication device subscribes for providing the user device with the service, and

display second information at a second location, which is different from the first location, in the display of the user device, while calling the communication device to establish the call communication or while the call communication is established, and

wherein the first information and the second information are displayed on the display concurrently, and

wherein the second information comprises information related to a social network service (SNS) activity of a user of the communication device.

6. The user device of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to initiate the call communication by sending a search query on an internet.

7. The user device of claim 5, wherein the first information comprises at least one of a name of the communication device, a contact of the communication device, a profile of the communication device, a service capability of the communication device, status information of the communication device, and an item being capable to serve by the server.

8. The user device of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to perform the call communication with the communication device based on a user input responsive to at least one of the first information and the second information.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having an executable program recorded thereon, wherein the program instructs a computer to perform:

initiating a call communication with a communication device;

displaying first information, which is related to a voice communication with the communication device, at a first location in a display of the user device, while calling the communication device to establish the call communication or while the call communication is established;

receiving, from a server, second information on a service to which the communication device subscribes for providing the user device with the service; and

displaying second information at a second location, which is different from the first location, in the display of the user device, while calling the communication device to establish the call communication or while the call communication is established,

wherein the first information and the second information are displayed on the display concurrently, and

wherein the second information comprises information related to a social network service (SNS) activity of a user of the communication device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 9, wherein the initiating of the call communication comprises sending a search query on an internet.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 9, wherein the first information comprises at least one of a name of the communication device, a contact of the communication device, a profile of the communication device, a service capability of the communication device, status information of the communication device, and an item being capable to serve by the server.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 9, further comprising performing the call communication with the communication device based on a user input responsive to at least one of the first information and the second information.
