METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE TO OUTPUT ELECTRONIC CONTENT, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an electronic device to output electronic content stored in a storage medium thereof via an output module thereof, said method to be performed by the electronic device and comprising the steps of:
- a) configuring the electronic device to display a first object associated with the electronic content and a second object associated with the output module on an operation screen of the electronic device;
b) configuring the electronic device to receive a user input command for establishing an operational relationship between the first and second objects; and
c) configuring the electronic device to automatically retrieve the electronic content from the storage medium, and to output the electronic content via the output module in response to the user input command.

Abstract
In a method for controlling an electronic device to output electronic content stored in a storage medium thereof via an output module thereof, the electronic device is configured to: display a first object associated with the electronic content and a second object associated with the output module on an operation screen of the electronic device; receive a user input command for establishing an operational relationship between the first and second objects; and automatically retrieve the electronic content from the storage medium, and output the electronic content via the output module in response to the user input command. An electronic device to perform the method is also disclosed.

13. A method for controlling an electronic device to output electronic content stored in a storage medium thereof, the electronic device including a plurality of heterogeneous output modules independently selected from wireless transmission modules, wired transmission modules, memory interface modules and image output modules, said method to be performed by the electronic device and comprising the steps of:
-
a) configuring the electronic device to display a first object associated with the electronic content and a plurality of the second objects, each associated with a respective one of the output modules, on an operation screen of the electronic device; b) configuring the electronic device to receive a user input command for establishing an operational relationship between the first object and a selected one of the second objects; and c) configuring the electronic device to automatically retrieve the electronic content from the storage medium, and to output the electronic content via the output module associated with the selected one of the second objects in response to the user input command.
