The communication module 190 may support establishing a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device 101 and the external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 102, the electronic device 104, or the server 108) and performing communication via the established communication channel. The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors that are operable independently from the processor 120 (e.g., the application processor (AP)) and supports a direct (e.g., wired) communication or a wireless communication. According to an embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules may communicate with the external electronic device 104 via the first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network, such as Bluetooth™, wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or the second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network, such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., LAN or wide area network (WAN)). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or may be implemented as multi components (e.g., multi chips) separate from each other.

The wireless communication module 192 may identify or authenticate the electronic device 101 in a communication network, such as the first network 198 or the second network 199, using subscriber information (e.g., international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module 196.

The wireless communication module 192 may support a 5G network, after a 4G network, and next-generation communication technology, e.g., new radio (NR) access technology.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart 200 for illustrating an operation of an electronic device for rearranging multiple items, based on a current time point according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 will be described in connection with FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C.

FIG. 4A is a diagram for illustrating an operation of acquiring information included in a content displayed on a display of an electronic device, according to an embodiment.

FIG. 4C is a diagram for illustrating an operation of rearranging, based on a changed priority, the arranged multiple items and displaying the rearranged multiple items, according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, in operation 210, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 101 of FIG. 1 or the processor 120 of FIG. 1) may acquire information included in a content displayed on a display (e.g., the display module 160 of FIG. 1) based on the content satisfying a configured condition.

According to an embodiment, if the content includes at least one of time information, place information, or an event name, the electronic device may determine that the configured condition is satisfied, and may acquire the information included in the content. According to an embodiment, when the content is selected via a user input (e.g., a drag input or a long press input), the electronic device may acquire information included in the selected content.

According to an embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, the electronic device may display a screen 410 including the content on the display. For example, the screen 410 may include an application execution screen.

According to an embodiment, if a content 411 included in the screen 410 satisfies the configured condition, the electronic device may acquire information included in the content 411. For example, if the content 411 included in the screen 410 satisfies the configured condition, the electronic device may acquire information included in the content 411 even without receiving the user input.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may acquire information included in the content 411 through the user input. For example, if the content 411 included in the screen 410 satisfies the configured condition or is selected by the user input, the electronic device may display a user interface 420 for storing of the content 411 in a partial area of the display so as to be overlaid with a part of the screen 410.

According to an embodiment, when a user input to select the user interface 420 is received, the electronic device may highlight the acquired content 411, or if the user selects the content 411, the content 411 may be highlighted.

According to an embodiment, when the user input to select the user interface 420 is received again after highlighting the content 411, the electronic device may acquire information included in the highlighted content 411.

According to an embodiment, after highlighting the content 411, the electronic device may display at least one pre-stored group, and upon reception of a user input to select a group (e.g., a schedule and/or a purchase list) in which information included in the content 411 is to be included, the electronic device may acquire the information included in the highlighted content 411 and may add the acquired information to the selected group. For example, the at least one pre-stored group may be generated by a user input, and each group may include information input by the user. According to an embodiment, the at least one pre-stored group may include a group related to a first schedule input by the user, a group related to a second schedule input by the user, and/or a group related to a purchase list input by the user. For example, the groups related to the schedules may include information input by the user via a calendar application, and the group related to the purchase list may include a goods list input by the user via a memo application.

According to an embodiment, the group related to the first schedule and/or the group related to the second schedule may include schedule information, place information, weather information, and/or an event name which are related to each schedule. For example, the group related to the purchase list may include information related to goods to be purchased, information on a place where the goods can be purchased, and/or discount information.

According to an embodiment, if there is one pre-stored group, the electronic device may highlight the content 411 and may display the pre-stored one group, and when a user input to select the displayed one group is received, the electronic device may add information included in the content 411 to the selected group.

According to an embodiment, an embodiment of acquiring information included in a displayed content will be described below with reference to FIG. 5A to FIG. 6.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may acquire information included in a content by analyzing at least one of an image or text included in the content. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may group information included in contents acquired via multiple screens. For example, the electronic device may group information included in contents acquired via multiple screens into one schedule or one purchase list. For example, if a first content included in an execution screen of a first application displayed on the display satisfies the configured condition, the electronic device may acquire information included in the first content, and if a second content included in an execution screen of a second application displayed on the display concurrently with or after the first application satisfies the configured condition, the electronic device may acquire information included in the second content. According to an embodiment, if the first content or the second content includes at least one of time information, place information, and an event name, the electronic device may determine that the configured condition is satisfied.

According to an embodiment, in operation 220, the electronic device may arrange, based on a first priority, a plurality of items acquired based on information included in the content so as to store the same in a memory (e.g., the memory 130 of FIG. 1). According to an embodiment, the electronic device may determine the first priority, based on a purpose of grouping the information. According to an embodiment, the grouping purpose may be related to a type of a service to be provided to the user via grouping of the information. For example, the electronic device may identify whether the service to be provided Is related to an itinerary, a meeting schedule, and/or a purchase list, based on the text included in the information input by the user and/or the text and/or image included in the information acquired via the displayed content.

According to an embodiment, the first priority may be preconfigured for each grouping purpose. For example, if information is grouped in relation to an itinerary, the first priority may be according to the itinerary. According to an embodiment, if information is grouped in relation to a meeting schedule, the first priority may be configured according to importance of a meeting progress. According to an embodiment, if information is grouped in relation to the purchase list, the first priority may be configured according to importance for purchasing of goods, such as a purchase place for goods to be purchased or a list of goods.

According to an embodiment, the priority may be changed according to a time flow and/or occurrence of a new event (e.g., a change in importance, an information change, and a goods purchase).

According to an embodiment, contents related to the priority will be described in more detail in [Table 1] and operation 230 below.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may perform classification into the plurality of items, based on details of information included in the content. For example, the electronic device may acquire the plurality of items, based on information included in the first content acquired via the execution screen of the first application and information included in the second content acquired via the execution screen of the second application.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may group information included in the contents acquired via analysis of at least one of text or images included in the contents into one schedule or one purchase list, and may classify the grouped information into the plurality of items.

According to an embodiment, when acquiring information included in the first content via the first application screen and acquiring information included in the second content via the second application screen, the electronic device may group the information included in the first content and the information included in the second content into one schedule or one purchase list. For example, the electronic device may perform grouping into one schedule or one purchase list, based on keywords and/or schedule information of the information included in the first content and the information included in the second content.

According to an embodiment, grouping of information refers to classification of acquired information, and the electronic device may group information, based on relevance between respective pieces of information. For example, if at least some of the plurality of pieces of the information included in each content is the same, or similar in time and/or location even if the information is not the same, the electronic device may determine that there is relevance between respective pieces of information.

According to an embodiment, if information included in a content included in a screen of an airline application and location information and/or schedule information of information included in a content included in a screen of a social network service (SNS) application are correlated with each other, the electronic device may group the information into one schedule.

According to one embodiment, information of goods, which is displayed multiple times on the screen of the SNS application or is included in a content included in a screen displayed by the user's search, and a content, which is displayed multiple times on a screen of a shopping application or is included in the screen displayed by the user's search, indicate that the user has a purchase intention, and the electronic device may group the information and the content into the purchase list. According to an embodiment, when the content displayed on the screen of the SNS application includes information related to goods for a travel to a specific place, and a content displayed on an Internet application screen includes information related to the goods for the travel to the specific place, the electronic device may group information included in the two contents into one purchase list, based on relevance of the place.

According to an embodiment, the plurality of items may include schedules (e.g., a flight date/time and a meeting date/time), places (e.g., accommodation, tourist attractions, meeting places, parking lots, and restaurants), to-do lists, attendees, weather, discount information, and/or checklists.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may classify the grouped information into the plurality of items according to a grouping purpose. For example, if grouped into the itinerary, the electronic device may classify the grouped information into the plurality of items including a flight date/time, accommodation, a tourist destination, weather, a restaurant, a traffic condition, and/or a checklist (e.g., preparations). According to an embodiment, if grouped into the meeting schedule, the electronic device may have grouped information including a meeting date/time, a meeting place, attendees, a traffic condition, and/or a checklist (e.g., tasks and materials). According to an embodiment, if grouped into the purchase list, the electronic device may classify grouped information into the plurality of items including a purchase place and/or a purchase list. Types of the plurality of items described above are merely examples and are not limited thereto.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may acquire the plurality of items by further including information received from an external server (e.g., the server 108 of FIG. 1) via a communication module (e.g., the communication module 190 of FIG. 1). For example, the electronic device may receive weather information, time information, flight information, place information (e.g., parking lot information and restaurant information), and/or discount information from the external server via the communication module, and may acquire the plurality of items by further including the received information. For example, the electronic device may perform grouping into one schedule or one purchase list by further including information received from the external server, and may classify the grouped information into the plurality of items. Accordingly, the plurality of items may be acquired by further including information that is not displayed on the display.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may receive a user input to input information via the display, and may acquire the plurality of items by further including information input via the user input. For example, when the electronic device receives a user input to input a schedule via the calendar application displayed on the display or for inputting a purchase list through the memo application, the electronic device may perform grouping into one schedule or one purchase list by further including information input via the user input and may classify the grouped information into the plurality of items.

According to an embodiment, the information acquired via the content displayed on the display, the information received from the external server, and/or the information acquired by the user input may be classified into the plurality of items (e.g., related items in Table 1) as shown in [Table 1] below according to the type of information.

According to an embodiment, referring to [Table 1], the electronic device may use information in different ways according to a type of acquired information.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may arrange the plurality of items, based on the first priority. For example, the electronic device may arrange the plurality of items, based on the preconfigured first priority. According to an embodiment, in a case of the plurality of travel-related items, the first priority may be based on the itinerary. For example, the itinerary may be arranged so that an item related to a departure schedule of the travel has the highest priority, and items related to schedules to be progressed for the travel have priorities in chronological order.

According to an embodiment, in a case of the plurality of items related to the meeting, the first priority may be configured according to importance, and the electronic device may arrange a date/time item related to the meeting to have the highest priority, a place item to have a second highest priority, and an attendee item to have a subsequent priority.

According to an embodiment, in a case of the plurality of items related to the purchase list, the electronic device may arrange the first priority so that a place item, at which goods included in the purchase list can be purchased, has the highest priority and a list of goods to be purchased has a subsequent priority.

According to an embodiment, when the user input to check the itinerary or the purchase list is received, the electronic device may display the plurality of items arranged based on the first priority, as illustrated in FIG. 4B.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the electronic device may display a screen 430 for checking the itinerary. According to an embodiment, the screen 430 may include the plurality of items 431 and 432 arranged based on the first priority. According to an embodiment, the plurality of items 431 and 432 may include links for providing summary information related to the items and/or detailed information related to the items, respectively. For example, the links may include icons 41, 42, 43, and 44 of applications that provide the detailed information related to the items.

According to an embodiment, the first priority may be based on a sequence of an itinerary according to time, and the departure flight date/time item 431 related to a departure schedule may be arranged to have the highest priority, and the subsequent priority item 432 may include an accommodation item and a tourist destination item which are sequentially arranged.

According to an embodiment, in operation 230, if a current time point satisfies the configured condition, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items, based on the second priority. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items over time (e.g., a time line). For example, the configured condition may be arrival of a specific time point related to the itinerary. According to an embodiment, monitoring is performed by comparing a current time, which is measured by the electronic device itself or received from a time-related server, with time point information related to the itinerary stored for each item, and if arrival of the time point information related to the itinerary is determined, it may be determined that the configured condition is satisfied.

According to an embodiment, the second priority may be based on a matter related to the itinerary, which is required to be checked at a current time point, and may correspond to the plurality of items rearranged so that an item related to the matter required to be checked have the highest priority. For example, if there is a matter required to be checked at a specific time point (e.g., 3 days before a schedule, a scheduled day, and 3 hours before the schedule), which is related to the itinerary, for each item, the electronic device may, when the specific time point arrives, rearrange the plurality of items and provide a notification, based on the second priority in which a priority of a corresponding item has the highest priority. According to an embodiment, as for orders after the highest priority in the second priority, items related to the matter required to be checked may be sequentially arranged over time or the pre-arranged sequence based on the first priority may be maintained.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device may acquire information required to be checked at the specific time point related to the itinerary, via information input by the user or information acquired from the content. For example, the electronic device may acquire text information stating that, in a case of cancellation via a content included in a screen of a booking application, a time point at which 100% refund is available is one week before a booked schedule, and information on the time point may be stored in the memory. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may perform monitoring of comparing a current time point with time point information of one week before a booked accommodation schedule, and may rearrange the plurality of items so that items related to accommodation have the highest priority one week before the booked accommodation schedule.

According to an embodiment, as for the second priority, an item related to the matter required to be checked may have the highest priority, and for subsequent items, items related to matters required to be checked over time may be sequentially arranged, or the pre-arranged sequence based on the first priority may be maintained except for the item related to the matter required to be checked.

According to an embodiment, if the current time point is before a first period (e.g., 3 days before the start of the schedule) of a time point related to one schedule, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items, based on the second priority, and if the current time point is before a second period (e.g., 1 day before the start of the schedule) that is shorter than the first period of the time point related to one schedule, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items, based on a third priority. According to an embodiment, rearranging of the plurality of items related to a travel or a meeting over time will be described below with reference to FIG. 8A to FIG. 10D.

In the above, it has been described that operation 230 is rearranging of the plurality of items which have been arranged based on the first priority over time via operation 220. However, according to an embodiment, the plurality of items rearranged over time may be rearranged as more time passes, and hereinafter, the plurality of items rearranged by an information change in operation 330 of FIG. 3 may be rearranged over time.

In the above, it has been described that, after operation 210 of acquiring information, operation 220 of arranging the plurality of items and operation 230 of rearranging the plurality of arranged items are performed. However, according to an embodiment, acquiring of information may be performed even after the plurality of items are arranged based on the first priority, and acquiring of information may be performed also after the plurality of arranged items are arranged based on the second priority.

According to an embodiment, in operation 240, the electronic device may display the plurality of rearranged items on the display.

According to an embodiment, when the plurality of items are rearranged, the electronic device may control the display to display a notification of the rearrangement, and when a user input to select the notification is received, the electronic device may control the display to display the plurality of rearranged items. According to an embodiment, displaying of the notification of the rearrangement of the plurality of items and displaying of the rearranged items according to a notification selection will be described below with reference to FIG. 7A to FIG. 7D.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, when the user input to check information changed in relation to the itinerary is received, the electronic device may display a screen 440 for checking the itinerary. According to an embodiment, the screen 440 may include the plurality of items 441 and 442 arranged based on the second priority.

According to an embodiment, the second priority may be based on the matter related to the itinerary, which is required to be checked at the current time point, and may correspond to the plurality of items 441 and 442 rearranged so that the traffic item 441 related to the matter required to be checked has the highest priority. According to an embodiment, as for the second priority, the item 441 related to the matter required to be checked may have the highest priority, and for the subsequent item 442, items related to matters required to be checked over time may be sequentially arranged, or the pre-arranged sequence based on the first priority may be maintained.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart 300 for illustrating an operation of an electronic device for rearranging the plurality of items, based on a change of information according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 310, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 101 of FIG. 1 or the processor 120 of FIG. 1) may acquire information included in a content displayed on a display (e.g., the display module 160 of FIG. 1) if the content satisfies a configured condition.

Since operation 310 of FIG. 3 is the same as operation 210 of FIG. 2 described above, a redundant description will be omitted.

According to an embodiment, in operation 320, the electronic device may arrange, based on a first priority, the plurality of items acquired based on information included in the content so as to store the same in a memory (e.g., the memory 130 of FIG. 1).

Operation 320 of FIG. 3 is the same as operation 220 of FIG. 2 described above, and will be thus omitted.

According to an embodiment, in operation 330, when information related to at least one of the plurality of items is changed, the electronic device may update information included in the at least one item, and may rearrange the plurality of updated items based on a second priority.

According to an embodiment, when an event occurs in which the information included in the at least one of the plurality of items is changed, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items so that the item in which the information is changed has the highest priority.

According to an embodiment, when the electronic device receives the changed information for at least one of the plurality of items from an external server (e.g., the server 108 of FIG. 1) via a communication module (e.g., the communication module 190 of FIG. 1), the electronic device may identify that the event has occurred and may rearrange the plurality of items so that the item for which the event has occurred has the highest priority. For example, when change information, such as change information of a weather item, change information of a place item (e.g., parking lot information), or discount information, is received from the external server, the electronic device may change the corresponding item to have the highest priority.

According to an embodiment, in a case of the plurality of items related a purchase list, when discount information is received from the external server in a state where the place item has the highest priority and a purchase goods list item has a subsequent priority according to the first priority, the electronic device may change information of a corresponding item while maintaining the sequence of the item. For example, the electronic device may change information on the place item having the highest priority to information on a place where a discount is performed, and may change priority of goods in the purchase goods list item so that discounted goods has a higher priority.

According to an embodiment, when information included in the content displayed via the display is changed, the electronic device may identify that an event has occurred, and may rearrange the plurality of items so that an item for which the event has occurred has the highest priority. For example, in a case of the plurality of items related to a schedule, if the electronic device acquires information included in the content displayed on the display, and the information included in the content is for changing of at least one piece of information in the plurality of pre-stored items, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items so that an item, in which information has been changed, has the highest priority. For example, if time information of the schedule (e.g., exhibition) on an application (e.g., Internet) execution screen is different from pre-stored time item information, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items so that the time item has the highest priority. According to an embodiment, the electronic device may change the pre-stored time item information to time information included in the content, or may determine whether to change time item information according to a user input to select the pre-stored time item information or the time information included in the content. According to an embodiment, in a case of the plurality of items related to the purchase list, when at least one of the plurality of goods included in the purchase goods list is purchased online, the electronic device may acquire information related to the purchased goods from a payment screen displayed on the display, may delete the purchased goods from among the plurality of goods included in the purchase goods list, and may change a sequence of goods in the purchase goods list.

According to an embodiment, when a user input to change at least one piece of information among the pre-stored the plurality of items is received, the electronic device may identify that an event has occurred and may rearrange the plurality of items so that an item in which the event has occurred has the highest priority. For example, in the case of the plurality of items related to the schedule, when a user input to change time information or place information is received, the electronic device may rearrange the plurality of items so that an item in which information has been changed has the highest priority. According to an embodiment, in the case of the plurality of items related to the purchase list, when a user input to delete some goods from the purchase goods list is received, the electronic device may delete some goods from the purchase goods list and change the sequence of the goods.

According to an embodiment, based on change information acquired via the content displayed on the display, change information received from the external server, and/or change information by the user input, items and/or item information may be changed as shown in [Table 2] below.
