Abstract

A personalized service method using a user history in a mobile terminal is provided. The personalized service method using the user history in the mobile terminal includes: checking at least one of event information and context information which occurred due to a user; checking a user'"'"'s location, a user'"'"'s condition, a user'"'"'s emotional state, or an event occurrence time when the at least one of event information and context information occur; reflecting the user'"'"'s location, the user'"'"'s condition, the user'"'"'s emotional state, or the event occurrence time in the at least one of event information and context information, and recording the at least one of event information and context information, having reflected the user'"'"'s location, the user'"'"'s condition, the user'"'"'s emotional state, or the event occurrence time, in a database in a diary type; and displaying a representing image corresponding to the at least one of event information and context information, having been recorded in the diary type.

Claims

1. A personalized service providing method comprising:

identifying first event information associated with a first menu selected by a user, the first menu being performed on a user terminal;

determining first context information according to the first event information, the first context information including a location at which the first event information occurs and a time at which the first event information occurs;

recording the first event information with the first context information in a user history;

identifying second event information associated with a second menu selected by the user, the second menu being performed on the user terminal;

determining second context information according to the second event information, the second context information including a location at which the second event information occurs and a time at which the second event information occurs; and

automatically performing a subsequent operation related to the second event information based on second context information and the user history,

wherein the first context information includes a user behavior associated with the first event information, and

wherein the subsequent operation is an operation frequently selected by the user after the second menu is selected.

2. The personalized service providing method of claim 1, wherein the user history includes first context information matched with a plurality of first event information aligned with flow of time.

3. The personalized service providing method of claim 2, wherein the user history includes the first context information matched with the plurality of first event information in a diary type.

4. The personalized service providing method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of first event information includes first event information frequently occurring according to an interaction between the user terminal and the user before the identified first event information occurs.

5. The personalized service providing method of claim 1, wherein the first context information further includes at least one of the user'"'"'s emotional state when the first event information occurs.

6. The personalized service providing method of claim 5, wherein the user'"'"'s emotional state is determined by at least one of the user'"'"'s communication speed or speech tone based on a speech communication pattern of the user.

7. The personalized service providing method of claim 5, wherein the user'"'"'s emotional state is determined by a variation of a vital signal of the user.

8. The personalized service providing method of claim 1, wherein the location corresponds to a location of the user terminal at which the first event information occurs.

9. The personalized service providing method of claim 1, wherein the user history is shared with other users via a community based on the user'"'"'s inclination derived from the user history.

10. A device comprising:

a display configured to display a content;

a memory configured to store a user history; and

a processor configured to;

identify first event information associated with a first menu selected by a user, the first menu being performed on the device and corresponding to the content;

determine first context information according to the first event information, the first context information including a location at which the first event information occurs and a time at which the first event information occurs;

record the first event information with the first context information in the user history;

identify second event information associated with a second menu selected by the user, the second menu being performed on the device;

determine second context information according to the second event information, the second context information including a location at which the second event information occurs and a time at which the second event information occurs; and

automatically perform a subsequent operation related to the second event information based on second context information and the user history,

wherein the first context information includes a user behavior of the user associated with the first event information, and

wherein the subsequent operation is an operation frequently selected by the user after the second menu is selected.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein the user history includes first context information matched with a plurality of first event information aligned with flow of time.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the user history includes first context information matched with the plurality of first event information in a diary type.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the plurality of first event information includes first event information frequently occurring according to an interaction between the device and the user before the identified first event information occurs.

14. The device of claim 10, wherein the first context information includes at least one of the user'"'"'s emotional state when the first event information occurs.

15. The device of claim 14, wherein the user'"'"'s emotional state is determined by at least one of the user'"'"'s communication speed or speech tone based on a speech communication pattern of the user.

16. The device of claim 14, wherein the user'"'"'s emotional state is determined by a variation of a vital signal of the user.

17. The device of claim 10, wherein the location corresponds to a location of the device at which the first event information occurs.

18. The device of claim 10, wherein the user history is shared with other users via a community based on the user'"'"'s inclination derived from the user history.
