Abstract

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure comprises: a display, a processor operably connected to the display, and a memory operably connected to the processor, wherein the memory can store instructions which, when executed, cause the electronic device to: receive a first input while displaying a screen through the display; perform an operation related to a recognition operation for the screen based on the first input, so as to acquire one or more first tags related to the screen; display, through the display, a first user interface including the one or more first tags; select at least one first tag from among the one or more first tags based on receiving a second input while the first user interface is displayed; acquire at least one second tag related to the at least one first tag; and display, through the display, a second user interface including the at least one second tag.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a processor operatively connected with the display; and
a memory operatively connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
receive a first input while displaying a screen through the display,
obtain one or more first tags related to the screen by performing an operation related to a recognition operation on the screen based on the first input,
display a first user interface including the one or more first tags through the display,
select at least one first tag from among the one or more first tags based on a second input received while displaying the first user interface,
obtaining at least one second tag related to the at least one first tag, and
display a second user interface including the at least one second tag through the display,
wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
identify content stored in the memory in association with the at least one first tag, and
obtain at least one of at least one tag stored in association with the content or information related to the content, as the at least one second tag.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the recognition operation on the screen includes a plurality of recognition operations including a first recognition operation and a second recognition operation performed continuously from the first recognition operation, and
wherein the first recognition operation is performed by the electronic device, and the second recognition operation is performed by an external electronic device connected with the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
obtain at least one first first tag through the first recognition operation,
obtain at least one second first tag through the second recognition operation,
display the first user interface including the obtained at least one first first tag through the display, and
display the first user interface including the first first tag and the at least one second first tag obtained by performing the second recognition operation while displaying the first user interface, through the display.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
obtain at least one first first tag through the first recognition operation,
display the first user interface including the obtained at least one first first tag through the display,
store the at least one first first tag in the memory in response to an input received while the second recognition operation is performed,
obtain at least one second first tag as the second recognition operation is completed after the at least one first first tag is stored, and
store, in the memory, the obtained at least one second first tag along with the at least one first first tag.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to obtain the at least one second tag related to the at least one first tag, through the electronic device or an external electronic device connected with the electronic device.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, further cause the electronic device to:
identify content stored in association with the at least one first tag in the electronic device providing a web service subscribed to using an account of a user of the electronic device, and
obtain, as the at least one second tag, at least one of at least one tag stored in association with the content or information related to the content.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to display, through the display, the second user interface including the one or more first tags and the at least one second tag.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
identify a function related to at least one tag of the at least one second tag or the one or more first tags, and
display, through the display, the first user interface or the second user interface including an object representing the identified function.

9. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a processor operatively connected with the display; and
a memory operatively connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
receive an input while displaying a screen through the display,
obtain at least one first tag related to the screen by performing a first recognition operation on the screen based on the input,
display a first user interface including the at least one first tag through the display,
obtain at least one second tag through a second recognition operation on the screen performed by an external electronic device connected with the electronic device and continuous from the first recognition operation while the first user interface is displayed, and
display a second user interface including the obtained at least one second tag through the display,
wherein the instructions that, when executed, further cause the electronic device to:
identify a function related to at least one of the at least one second tag or the at least one first tag, and
display the first user interface or the second user interface including an object indicating the identified function through the display.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions that, when executed, further cause the electronic device to:
store the at least one first tag in the memory in response to an input received while the second recognition operation is performed,
obtain at least one second tag as the second recognition operation is completed after the at least one first tag is stored, and
store, in the memory, the obtained at least one second tag along with the at least one first tag.

11. A method for providing a tag by an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a first input while displaying a screen through a display of the electronic device;
obtaining one or more first tags related to the screen by performing an operation related to a recognition operation on the screen based on the first input;
displaying a first interface including the one or more first tags through the display;
selecting at least one first tag from among the one or more first tags based on a second input received while displaying the first user interface;
obtaining at least one second tag related to the at least one first tag; and
displaying a second user interface including the at least one second tag through the display,
wherein obtaining the at least one second tag comprises:
identifying content stored in a memory of the electronic device in association with the at least one first tag; and
obtaining at least one of at least one tag stored in association with the content or information related to the content, as the at least one second tag.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the recognition operation on the screen includes a plurality of recognition operations including a first recognition operation and a second recognition operation performed continuously from the first recognition operation, and
wherein the first recognition operation is performed by the electronic device, and the second recognition operation is performed by an external electronic device connected with the electronic device.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein obtaining
