Method of processing content and electronic device thereof

Abstract

A method for processing contents at an electronic device is provided. The method includes generating a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content via the electronic device, and displaying a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for processing contents at an electronic device, the method comprising;
 generating a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content displayed via the electronic device; and   displaying a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 generating a second content; and   displaying second scrap information on the first content and the second content through the floating UI.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein displaying the second scrap information comprises displaying a number of contents included in in the first content and a number of contents included in in the second content. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the floating UI comprises displaying an image corresponding to the first content through the floating UI. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 if a user input on the floating UI is received, displaying the first content and the second content sequentially in an order of generation of the contents.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein floating UI is displayed over the one or more contents. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising;
 determining whether the first content includes text; and   if the first content includes the text, displaying a menu for providing a text function.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the text function comprises:
 extracting the text from the first content; and   extracting first information related to at least one of a phone number, a mail, a schedule, a website address, and map data from the text.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 displaying a menu for executing a first application related to the first information; and   if a user input for the menu is received, executing the first application.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 displaying a first image corresponding to the first content and a second image corresponding to the second content through the floating UI;   receiving a user input for selecting the second image; and   if a user input for sharing content corresponding to the second image is received, transmitting the content corresponding to the second image to a corresponding application or device.   
     
     
         11 . An electronic device for processing a content, the electronic device comprising:
 a display; and   a processor configured to:
 generate a first content corresponding to a user input applied to content displayed via the display, and 
 control the display to display a floating user interface (UI), which displays first scrap information on the first content, on a screen. 
   
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a second content and control the display to display second scrap information on the first content and the second content through the floating UI. 
     
     
         13 . The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a number of contents included in the first content and a number of contents included in the second content through the floating UI. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display an image corresponding to the first content through the floating UI. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display the first content and the second content sequentially in an order of generation of the contents when a user input on the floating UI is received. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein the floating UI is displayed over the one or more contents. 
     
     
         17 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 determine whether the first content includes text, and controls the display to display a menu for providing a text function.   
     
     
         18 . The electronic device of  claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to extract the text from the first content and extracts first information on a phone number, a mail, a schedule, a website address, and map data from the text. 
     
     
         19 . The electronic device of  claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a menu for executing a first application related to the first information, and executes the first application if a user input for the menu is received. 
     
     
         20 . The electronic device of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 control the display to:
 display a first image corresponding to the first content and a second image corresponding to the second content through the floating UI, 
 receive a user input for selecting the second image, and 
 receive a user input for sharing content corresponding to the second image, and 
   transmit the content corresponding to the second image to a corresponding application or device.   
     
     
         21 . A machine-readable storage medium recording a program for executing a method of processing a content at an electronic device, the method comprising:
 generating a first content corresponding to a user input content displayed via the electronic device; and   displaying a floating UI, which displays scrap information on the first content, on a screen of the electronic device.
