Abstract

An information processing system includes a first electronic device configured to collect data, a second electronic device configured to obtain at least a portion of the data from the first electronic device and process the at least the portion of the data, and a server configured to support a sharing service that obtains the processed data from the second electronic device and posts the processed data in a designated method. The second electronic device is configured to transmit account information on at least one account joined to the sharing service to the first electronic device. The first electronic device is configured to analyze the account information to verify the at least one account, generate an object supporting posting the processed data on the sharing service, and output the object to a display of the first electronic device.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a sensor module configured to collect data;

a display configured to display at least a portion of the data;

a communication module configured to communicate with an external electronic device;

a memory configured to store the data; and

a processor operatively connected to the sensor module, the display, the communication module, and the memory, the processor is configured to;

obtain account information on at least one account joined to a sharing service from the external electronic device;

analyze the account information to verify the at least one account;

generate an object to share at least a portion of the data with the sharing service; and

output the object through the display.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to transmit the at least the portion of the data to the external electronic device when the object is selected.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to output only an object associated with an account selected by a user'"'"'s setting to the display.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, when the at least one account includes a plurality of accounts, generate a plurality of objects that respectively corresponds to the accounts.

5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the processor is configured to output at least one of a scroll bar for scrolling the objects or a check box for selecting at least one of the accounts to the display.

6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the processor is configured to group at least one of the objects based on a usage history with respect to the accounts.

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the processor is configured to transmit at least the portion of the data to the external electronic device when a portion of the grouped objects is selected such that the at least the portion of the data is shared with the sharing service to which the accounts respectively corresponding to the grouped objects are joined.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a communication module configured to communicate with an external electronic device;

a memory; and

a processor be operatively connected to the display, the communication module, and the memory, the processor is configured to;

obtain data from the external electronic device;

generate contents to share using template contents designated according to a type of the data and at least a portion of the data; and

transmit the contents to share to a server providing a sharing service.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the data comprises at least one of exercise information, processed data of the exercise information to be shared, or account information on an account joined to the sharing service.

10. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the template contents comprise an image or a map.

11. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is configured to select the at least the portion of the data, which are used when generating the contents to share, based on priorities designated according to the type of the data.

12. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

analyze the data to verify the account information on the account joined to the sharing service;

verify whether the account information is valid; and

restrict generation of the contents to share in a case that the account information is not valid.

13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the account information is valid based on an access validity period included in a token associated with the account information.

14. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is configured to generate the contents to share in a background state.

15. An information processing system comprising:

a first electronic device configured to collect data;

a second electronic device configured to obtain at least a portion of the data from the first electronic device and process the at least the portion of the data; and

a server configured to support a sharing service that obtains the processed the at least the portion of the data from the second electronic device and posts the processed the at least the portion of the data,

wherein the second electronic device is configured to transmit account information on at least one account joined to the sharing service to the first electronic device, and

wherein the first electronic device is configured to;

analyze the account information to verify the at least one account;

generate an object supporting posting the processed data on the sharing service; and

output the object to a display of the first electronic device.

16. The information processing system of claim 15, wherein the data comprises at least one of exercise information, the processed data of the exercise information to be shared, or the account information on the account joined to the sharing service.

17. The information processing system of claim 15, wherein the first electronic device is configured to transmit the at least the portion of the data to the second electronic device when the object is selected.

18. The information processing system of claim 15, wherein the first electronic device is a wearable electronic device and the second electronic device is a mobile electronic device paired with the first electronic device.

19. The information processing system of claim 15, wherein, in a case that the first electronic device periodically synchronizes the data with the second electronic device, the first electronic device is configured to generate an event associated with the at least the portion of the data and transmit the event to the second electronic device instead of transmitting the at least the portion of the data when the object is selected after completing the synchronization without new data being collected.

20. The information processing system of claim 19, wherein the event comprises at least one of the account information, an object selection time, or identification information on the at least the portion of the data.
