Abstract

Provided are an electronic device and method for displaying content. The content corresponds to a point of interest (POI) of a user and is adaptive to the user. The content is acquired based on a user input with regard to the POI, which is displayed.

Claims

1. An electronic device for providing content to a user, the electronic device comprising:

a display configured to display text and a point of interest (POI) of a user, the POI being determined based on the text;

a processor configured to acquire content corresponding to the POI and being adaptive to the user based on a user input with regard to the POI,

wherein the display is further configured to display the acquired content.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the content comprises service content corresponding to the POI and being determined based on information regarding the user.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein

the information comprises information regarding a schedule of the user collected through at least one from among a schedule management application in the electronic device and a cloud schedule management application, and

the service content is adaptive to the schedule of the user.

4. The electronic device of claim 3, wherein

the service content is adjusted based on the schedule of the user.

5. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the electronic device further comprises a communication interface configured to communicate with another user, and

the text is conversation text between the user and the other user,

the information comprises context information of the conversation text, and

the service content is adaptive to the context information.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein

the service content is adjusted based on the context information that is changed according to an update of the conversation text.

7. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein

the information comprises at least one from among location information, profile information, contact information, behavior history information, and social relationship information of the user.

8. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein

the service content comprises at least one from among route guide service content, reservation service content, and surrounding guide content.

9. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the POI is determined based on information regarding the user, included in the text.

10. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the text is conversation text between the user and another user, and

the POI is determined based on a context of the conversation text.

11. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the content is adaptive to weather information.

12. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the content comprises a plurality of service contents in time sequence.

13. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein

the POI is a combination of a key word and an ancillary word identified in the text,

the key word comprises at least one from among a location name and a store name,

the ancillary word comprises a region name, and

the POI is selected from a plurality of POI candidates.

14. A method of providing content to a user, the method comprising:

displaying text and a point of interest (POI) of a user, the POI being determined based on the text;

acquiring content corresponding to the POI and being adaptive to the user based on a user input with regard to the POI; and

displaying the acquired content.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein

the content comprises service content corresponding to the POI and being determined based on information regarding the user.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein

the POI is determined based on information regarding the user, included in the text.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein

the content comprises a plurality of service contents in time sequence.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein

the POI is a combination of a key word and a ancillary word identified in the text,

the key word comprises at least one from among a location name and a store name,

the ancillary word comprises a region name, and

the POI is selected from a plurality of POI candidates.

19. A computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program executable by a computer for performing the method of claim 14.

20. A server for providing content to a user, the server comprising:

a communication interface configured to receive text from an electronic device of a user;

a processor configured to determine a point of interest (POI) of the user in the text, and to generate content corresponding to the POI and being adaptive to the user,

wherein the communication interface is further configured to transmit the generated content to the electronic device.
