Abstract

A method for providing a text writing function and a clipping function and an electronic apparatus applying the same are provided. If a command is input while content is being displayed, a text writing screen including information related to the content is displayed. Accordingly, since the content-related information is automatically displayed when the user writes text relating to the content, the user is not required to input the content-related information separately.

Claims

1. A method for providing a text writing function, the method comprising:

displaying content; and

if a command is input while the content is being displayed, displaying a text writing screen to write text,

wherein the text writing screen comprises information relating to the content.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

extracting the information related to the content from a file associated with the content; and

appending the information related to the content to the text writing screen.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the extracting extracts the information related to the content from metadata of the file associated with the content.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, if the content comprises book content, the information related to the content comprises at least one of a title, an author, a publishing company, and a publishing date of the book content.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the text writing screen comprises a screen to write a report relating to the content.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

extracting category information of the content; and

selecting a text writing form corresponding to the category information of the content,

wherein the displaying the text writing screen displays a text writing screen of the selected text writing form.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display unit which displays content;

a manipulation unit which receives a command from a user; and

a controller which displays a text writing screen to write text if a command is input through the manipulation unit while the content is being displayed,

wherein the text writing screen comprises information relating to the content.

8. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the controller extracts the information related to the content from a file associated with the content and appends the information related to the content to the text writing screen.

9. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the controller extracts the information related to the content from metadata of the file associated with the content.

10. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein, if the content comprises book content, the information related to the content comprises at least one of a title, an author, a publishing company, and a publishing date of the book content.

11. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the text writing screen comprises a screen to write a report relating to the content.

12. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the controller extracts category information of the content, selects a text writing form corresponding to the category information of the content, and displays the text writing screen based on the selected form.

13. A method for providing a clipping function, the method comprising:

displaying content;

if a command to select an area from the content is input while the content is being displayed, extracting the selected area from the content;

appending information relating to the content to the extracted area of the content; and

displaying the extracted area of the content and the information related to the content on a screen.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, further comprising extracting the information related to the content from a file associated with the content,

wherein the appending appends the extracted information related to the content to the extracted area of the content.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the extracting the information related to the content extracts the information related to the content from metadata of the file associated with the content.

16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein, if the content comprises book content, the information related to the content comprises at least one of a title, an author, a publishing company, and a publishing date of the book content.

17. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display unit which displays content;

a manipulation unit which receives a command from a user; and

a controller which, if a command to select an area from the content is input through the manipulation unit while the content is being displayed, extracts the selected area from the content, appends information relating to the content to the extracted area of the content, and displays the extracted area of the content and the information related to the content on a screen of the display unit.

18. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein the controller extracts the information related to the content from a file associated with the content and appends the extracted information related to the content to the extracted area of the content.

19. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 18, wherein the controller extracts the information related to the content from metadata of the file associated with the content.

20. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein, if the content comprises book content, the information related to the content comprises at least one of a title, an author, a publishing company, and a publishing date of the book content.

21. A method of providing a text processing function, the method comprising:

displaying content;

determining whether a command is input;

simultaneously displaying an area to write text and information relating to the content if the command is a text writing command and if the command is input while the content is being displayed; and

extracting an area from the content and simultaneously displaying the extracted area and the information related to the content if the command is to select the area and if the command is input while the content is being displayed.

22. The method according to claim 21, further comprising appending the information relating to the content to the extracted area of the content.

23. The method according to claim 21, wherein the content comprises a text of a book, and the information related to the content comprises at least one of a title, an author, a publishing company, and a publishing date of the book.
