Abstract

An electronic device, according to various embodiments, comprises: a communication unit; and a control unit, wherein the control unit may be configured to: receive, from one or more second electronic devices, via the communication unit, data regarding feedback on an image while transmitting the image that is received from a first electronic device to the one or more second electronic devices for displaying in the one or more second electronic devices; create a partial image for the one or more second electronic devices from the image on the basis of the data regarding the feedback; and provide the one or more second electronic devices with the partial image as an image corresponding to a user's preference associated with the one or more second electronic devices.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication unit; and
a controller, wherein the controller is configured to:
while an image received from a first electronic device is being transmitted to one or more second electronic devices so as to be displayed by the one or more second electronic devices, receive data relating to feedback on the image from the one or more second electronic devices via the communication unit, wherein the image comprises a plurality of frames and wherein the data relating to feedback is data regarding a feedback input detected on a touch screen of the one or more second electronic devices while the image is displayed on the touch screen of the one or more second electronic devices;
store the data relating to the feedback in association with frame information of a frame from which the feedback input is detected among the plurality of frames, coordinate information at which the feedback input is detected within a frame, and information relating to a type of the feedback input;
based on the data relating to the feedback, determine one or more frames corresponding to a point in time at which the data relating to the feedback is received, from among the plurality of frames;
based on a type of the image, determine a sequence of the one or more frames to compose partial images;
based on the sequence, generate the partial images from the one or more frames; and
provide the one or more second electronic devices with the partial images as images corresponding to preferences of users related to the one or more second electronic devices.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
receive text related to the image from at least one of the first electronic device or the one or more second electronic devices; and
determine the type of the image based on the text.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
while the image is being received from the first electronic device, receive information relating to a location of the first electronic device from the first electronic device; and
generate the partial images based on the location of the first electronic device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
receive information relating to a preference of each of the one or more second electronic devices from the one or more second electronic devices; and
based on the preference of each of the one or more second electronic devices, generate a partial image for each of the one or more second electronic devices.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
based on at least one of a case in which a number of the data relating to the feedback is less than a designated number or a case in which a length of the image is shorter than a designated length, generate a representative image for the image; and
transmit the representative image to the one or more second electronic devices.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
in response to reception of a designated number or more of the data relating to the feedback during a designated time, transmit data relating to an enhancement effect on the image, which is to be displayed in the one or more second electronic devices, to the one or more second electronic devices; and
transmit at least a part of the image to a third electronic device that does not receive the image.

7. A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
while an image received from a first electronic device is being transmitted to one or more second electronic devices so as to be displayed by the one or more second electronic devices, receiving data relating to feedback on the image from the one or more second electronic devices, wherein the image comprises a plurality of frames and wherein the data relating to feedback is data regarding a feedback input detected on a touch screen of the one or more second electronic devices while the image is displayed on the touch screen of the one or more second electronic device;
storing the data relating to the feedback in association with frame information of a frame from which the feedback input is detected among the plurality of frames, coordinate information at which the feedback input is detected within a frame, and information relating to a type of the feedback input;
based on the data relating to the feedback, determining one or more frames corresponding to a point in time at which the data relating to the feedback is received, from among the plurality of frames;
based on a type of the image, determining a sequence of the one or more frames to compose partial images;
based on the sequence, generating the partial images from the one or more frames; and
providing the one or more second electronic devices with the partial images as images corresponding to preferences of users related to the one or more second electronic devices.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving text related to the image from at least one of the first electronic device or the one or more second electronic devices; and
determining the type of the image based on the text.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
while the image is being received from the first electronic device, receiving information relating to a location of the first electronic device from the first electronic device; and
generating the partial images based on the location of the first electronic device.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the providing of the partial images as images corresponding to preferences of users related to the one or more second electronic devices comprises:
receiving information relating to a preference of each of the one or more second electronic devices from the one or more second electronic devices; and
based on the preference of each of the one or more second electronic devices, generating a partial image for each of the one or more second electronic devices.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
based on at least one of a case in which a number of the data relating to the feedback is less than a designated number or a case in which a length of the image is shorter than a designated length, generating a representative image for the image; and
transmitting the representative image to the one or more second electronic devices.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
in response to reception of a designated number or more of the data relating to the feedback during a designated time, transmitting data relating to an enhancement effect on the image, which is to be displayed in the one or more second electronic devices, to the one or more second electronic devices; and
transmitting at least a part of the image to a third electronic device that does not receive the image.
