Abstract

A method of performing auto-naming of content includes: receiving an auto-naming command for the content; performing auto-naming of the content by using different parameters according to different content types to obtain at least one auto-naming result for the content; and displaying the auto-naming result.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of performing auto-naming of content, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, an auto-naming command for the content;
determining whether the auto-naming command is received by a content generation request, a content storage request, or a content transmission request;
based on said determining, selecting different parameters to obtain at least one auto-naming result such that a first set of parameters from among the different parameters is selected in response to the auto-naming command being received with the content generation request, a second set of parameters from among the different parameters is selected in response to the auto-naming command being the content storage request, and a third set of parameters from among the different parameters is selected in response to the auto-naming command being received with the content transmission request;
determining, by the processor, a parameter according to a type of the content;
obtaining, by the processor, inference information regarding the content by using the parameter and the selected different parameters, which are attributes related to context of the content;
performing, by the processor, the auto-naming of the content by using the inference information; and
displaying, by a display, the at least one auto-naming result.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the auto-naming command is performed in response to a content process request selected from among a plurality of content processes comprising a content generation process, a content transmission process, and a content storage process.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performing the auto-naming of the content comprises performing the auto-naming by using predetermined context information of the content corresponding to the requested content process and wherein the predetermined context information is different for different content processes from among the plurality of content processes.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically re-performing the auto-naming and displaying a new list with at least one different auto-naming result for the same content in response to an automatic change request of a user for the displayed auto-naming result.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying an indicator in association with the displayed auto-naming result, wherein the indicator indicates an option to automatically change the displayed auto-naming result; and
automatically re-performing the auto-naming of the content according to user input information input through the indicator.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the automatically re-performing the auto-naming of the content comprises automatically re-performing the auto-naming with a changed condition for obtaining a parameter from the different parameters used to generate the auto-naming result and wherein the changed condition comprises decreasing required accuracy of the parameter and wherein a new list of new auto-naming results is displayed.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising changing the displayed auto-naming result corresponding to the user input information in response to a manual change request of a user for the displayed auto-naming result.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising changing the auto-naming result into the user input information in response to a manual change request of a user for the displayed auto-naming result.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining the inference information comprises obtaining the inference information based on a communication with an external device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the auto-naming command for the content comprises auto-naming commands for a plurality of different types of content,
the performing the auto-naming of the content comprises respectively performing the auto-naming of the content by using a predetermined parameter according to a type of the content.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displayed auto-naming result comprises a plurality of candidate naming information,
wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a selection signal for selecting one of the plurality of candidate naming information; and
displaying the candidate auto-naming information selected according to the selection signal.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the auto-naming command is received with the content generation request, determining that the type of the content is an image being captured;
in response to the determining that the auto-naming command is received with the content storage request, determining that the type of the content is a video file; and
in response to the determining that the auto-naming command is received with the content transmission request, determining that the type of the content is an electronic document transmitted externally outside an apparatus comprising the display and the processor;
wherein the first parameter set comprises at least one of a location of the image being captured, an identification of an entity displayed in the image, and time information with respect to the captured image; and
wherein the third parameter set comprises at least one of an author that generated the electronic document and representative keywords that are found in the electronic document.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the auto-naming comprises:
determining a type of the content;
further modifying a parameter set based on the determined type of the content, wherein the selected parameter set comprises a plurality of parameters, each of which describes an aspect of the context provided in the content;
obtaining data based on the content for each of the plurality of parameters in the selected parameter set;
generating a list of candidate names for the content by fusing the obtained data of different parameters based on a predetermined schema indicates various combinations of parameters selected from the plurality of parameters; and
displaying the list of candidate names for a file name of the content.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the selected parameter set is specific to a user and comprises inference information about a relationship of the user to the content.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the type of the content comprises social network service-based content type and an application specific content type and wherein different number of the parameters from a parameter set are fused to generate candidates of the list.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the auto-naming comprises performing the auto-naming of the content by using the same set of parameters in response to determining that content types are the same.

17. An apparatus for performing auto-naming of content, the apparatus comprising:
a memory configured to store at least one program and data for performing auto-naming of the content;
a touch-screen configured to receive user input information based on a touch and displays an auto-naming result of the content; and
a processor configured to, determine whether an auto-naming command is received during a content generation process, a content storage process, or a content transmission process, based on the determined process, select different parameters to obtain at least one auto-naming result, based on the auto-naming command, determine a parameter according to a type of the content, obtain inference information regarding the content by using the parameter and the selected different parameters, which are att
