Abstract

A method and a system of providing a web feed in a uniform resource identifier (URI) are provided. The method includes obtaining, by a processing unit, a plurality of the URIs from at least one data source in a primary electronic device, automatically fetching, by a parsing unit, at least one web feed, corresponding to at least one URI of the plurality of URIs, from a server, and providing the at least one fetched web feed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of providing a web feed in a uniform resource identifier (URI), the method comprising:
obtaining, by at least one processor of a first electronic device, at least one URI from at least one data source in a server;
automatically fetching, by the at least one processor of the first electronic device, at least one web feed corresponding to the at least one URI, from the server; and
providing the fetched at least one web feed to a second electronic device,
wherein the fetching of the at least one web feed comprises:
obtaining a channel number of a channel being watched in the first electronic device,
identifying channel information for the channel number using a digital document to identify the at least one URI for the channel, and
automatically fetching the at least one web feed corresponding to the at least one URI from the server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fetched at least one web feed is provided to the second electronic device by a communication interface of the first electronic device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically fetching the at least one web feed based on a display area of the second electronic device, the second electronic device comprising a wearable device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automatic fetching of the at least one web feed comprises:
obtaining an input from a user;
mapping the input to the at least one URI; and
automatically fetching the at least one web feed corresponding to the at least one URI.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically fetching the at least one web feed based on the at least one URI being marked for offline reading;
determining whether a data connection is available to retrieve content from the at least one URI; and
retrieving the content in response to determining that the data connection is available.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indicating the at least one web feed in the first electronic device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one web feed is indicated by prioritizing the at least one URI.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
periodically monitoring the at least one URI;
determining whether a new web feed is available in the at least one URI; and
indicating the new web feed to a user.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
periodically monitoring the at least one data source;
determining whether a new URI is available in the at least one data source; and
automatically identifying the at least one web feed corresponding to the new URI.

10. A first electronic device for providing a web feed in a uniform resource identifier (URI), the first electronic device comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
obtain at least one URI from at least one data source in a server,
automatically fetch at least one web feed corresponding to the at least one URI, from the server, and
provide the fetched at least one web feed to a second electronic device,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to fetch the at least one web feed by:
obtaining a channel number of a channel being watched in the first electronic device;
identifying channel information for the channel number using a digital document to identify the at least one URI for the channel; and
automatically fetch the at least one web feed corresponding to the at least one URI from the server.

11. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the fetched at least one web feed is provided to the second electronic device by a communication interface of the first electronic device.

12. The first electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
automatically fetch the at least one web feed based on a display area of the second electronic device, the second electronic device comprising a wearable device, and
transfer, by the communication interface, the fetched at least one web feed to the wearable device from the first electronic device.

13. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to automatically fetch the at least one web feed by:
obtaining an input from a user,
mapping the input to the at least one URI, and
automatically fetching the at least one web feed corresponding to the at least one URI.

14. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
automatically select the at least one web feed based on the at least one URI being marked for offline reading,
determine whether a data connection is available to retrieve content from the at least one URI, and
retrieve the content in response to determining that the data connection is available.

15. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to indicate the at least one web feed corresponds to the at least one URI.

16. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one web feed is indicated by prioritizing the at least one URI.

17. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
periodically monitor the at least one URI,
determine whether a new web feed is available from the at least one URI, and
indicate the new web feed to the user.

18. The first electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
periodically monitor the at least one data source;
determine whether a new URI is available in the at least one data source, and
automatically identify the at least one web feed corresponding to the new URI.
