[0062] According to one embodiment, one or more instructions (or commands) representing operations and / or actions to be performed on data by the processor (120) may be stored within the memory (130) of the electronic device (101). A set of one or more instructions may be referred to as firmware, an operating system, a process, a routine, a sub-routine, and / or an application. For example, the electronic device (101) and / or the processor (120) may perform at least one of the operations of FIG. 6 and FIG. 11 when a set of a plurality of instructions distributed in the form of an operating system, firmware, a driver, and / or an application is executed. Hereinafter, the fact that an application is installed in an electronic device (101) may mean that one or more instructions provided in the form of an application are stored in the memory (130) of the electronic device (101), and that the one or more applications are stored in a format executable by the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) (e.g., a file having an extension specified by the operating system of the electronic device (101)).

[0063] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include a security element (131). For example, from a software perspective, the security element (131) may be stored in the memory (130) based on the form of at least one program. For example, from a hardware perspective, the security element (131) may be referred to as a security module (or security unit). However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0064] For example, the electronic device (101) can modify media content stored in the memory (130) using the security element (131). The media content can include video, images, text, audio, or a combination thereof. For example, the electronic device (101) can encrypt the media content based on digital rights management (DRM) using the security element (131). The electronic device (101) can encrypt the media content by generating metadata including encrypted information using the security element. The electronic device (101) can encrypt the media content so that a designated user (or an external electronic device corresponding to the user) can access the media content. For example, the electronic device (101) can provide a decryption key to the designated user (or an external electronic device corresponding to the user) so that the designated user (or an external electronic device corresponding to the user) can access the media content. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) can use the security element (131) to set the period and / or number of times that the media content can be used. The encrypted media content can be set to allow only the access function among the access function and the editing function. For example, the electronic device (101) can display the encrypted media content on the display (150). The electronic device (101) can display the encrypted media content on the display (150) for a specified period of time. The electronic device (101) can control (or restrict) user input for editing the encrypted media content. The electronic device (101) can further display a visual object indicating authentication together with the media content on the display (150) to indicate the encrypted media content.

[0065] According to one embodiment, the display (150) of the electronic device (101) can output visualized information to the user. For example, the display (150) can be controlled by a controller, such as a graphic processing unit (GPU), to output visualized information to the user. The display (150) can include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), and / or one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs can include organic LEDs (OLEDs). The display (150) can include an electronic paper display (150-1). The display (150) can have an at least partially curved shape and / or a deformable shape.

[0066] According to one embodiment, a cover display (150-3) of an electronic device (101) may be provided to output visualized information to a user, similar to the display (150). As described above, the cover display (150-3) may be disposed on a different surface from a surface of the electronic device (101) on which the display (150-1) is disposed. The location of the cover display (150-3) may be disposed on a surface of the housing that is visible when the display (150-1) is covered (e.g., in a folded state). The cover display (150-3) may be implemented similarly to the display (150-1). In the description of the cover display (150-2), descriptions that overlap with those of the display (150) may be omitted for convenience of explanation.

[0067] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (101) can provide visualized information to a user using an electronic paper display (150-1) (e-paper). The electronic paper display (150-1) can be placed on the other side of the electronic device (101) opposite to the side on which the display (150-1) is placed. The electronic paper display (150-1) can be placed in a second housing (162) that is different from the first housing (161) on which the cover display (150-2) is placed. Unlike outputting visualized information by light, the electronic paper display (150-1) can display visualized information by changing the positions of particles (e.g., particles having different charges) included in the electronic paper display (150-1) through a power signal. Each of the particles can be distinguished by a different color. The electronic device (101) can provide the user with visualized information displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) by using reflected light generated by external light directed toward the electronic device (101) being reflected by the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0068] For example, the electronic device (101) may temporarily refrain from transmitting a power signal to the electronic paper display (150-1) after displaying visualized information (e.g., media content) on the electronic paper display (150-1). Even after the electronic device (101) temporarily refrained from transmitting a power signal to the electronic paper display (150-1), the electronic device (101) may maintain displaying the visualized information (e.g., media content) on the electronic paper display (150-1). The electronic device (101) may reduce power loss of a battery (not shown) while providing visualized information to a user using the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0069] According to one embodiment, the camera (140) of the electronic device (101) may include one or more optical sensors (e.g., a charged coupled device (CCD) sensor, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor) that generate electrical signals representing the color and / or brightness of light. The plurality of optical sensors included in the camera (140) may be arranged in the form of a two-dimensional array. The camera (140) may acquire the electrical signals of each of the plurality of optical sensors substantially simultaneously, and generate an image corresponding to light reaching the optical sensors of the two-dimensional grid and including a plurality of pixels arranged two-dimensionally. For example, photographic data captured using the camera (140) may mean one image acquired from the camera (140). For example, video data captured using the camera (140) may mean a sequence of a plurality of images acquired from the camera (140) according to a specified frame rate. An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may further include a flashlight that is positioned so that the camera (140) receives light and outputs light in the direction in which the camera (140) is positioned. The number of cameras (140) included in the electronic device (101) may be one or more. For example, the electronic device (101) may generate media content to be displayed on the display (150) using an image acquired through the camera (140). An operation of the electronic device (101) generating media content using the image is described below with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C.

[0070] A communication circuit (170) of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may include hardware for supporting transmission and / or reception of electrical signals between the electronic device (101) and a server (190) (or an external electronic device). The communication circuit (170) may include, for example, at least one of a modem (MODEM), an antenna, and an optical / electronic (O / E) converter. The communication circuit (170) may support transmission and / or reception of electrical signals based on various types of protocols, such as Ethernet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), wireless fidelity (WiFi), near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), ZigBee, long term evolution (LTE), 5G NR (new radio), and / or 6G.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 1A, the electronic device (101) and the server (190) may be connected to each other based on a wired network and / or a wireless network. The wired network may include a network such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), Ethernet, or a combination thereof. The wireless network may include a network such as long term evolution (LTE), 5g new radio (NR), wireless fidelity (WiFi), Zigbee, near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low-energy (BLE), or a combination thereof. Although the electronic device (101) and the server (190) are illustrated as being directly connected, the electronic device (101) and the server (190) may be indirectly connected via an intermediate node within the network.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 1A, in one embodiment, the server (190) may include at least one of a processor (120-1), a memory (130-1), and a communication circuit (170-1). Within the server (190), the processor (120-1), the memory (130-1), and the communication circuit (170-1) may be electrically and / or operatively coupled via a communication bus. The processor (120-1), the memory (130-1), and the communication circuit (170-1) included within the server (190) may include hardware components and / or circuits corresponding to the processor (120), the memory (130), and the communication circuit (170) of the electronic device (101). The security element (131-1) included within the server (190) may be referenced to the security element (131) of the electronic device (101). In the following, to reduce repetition, the description of hardware and / or software included in the server (190) may be omitted to the extent that it overlaps with the electronic device (101).

[0073] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may identify metadata included in the media content (e.g., the second metadata (715-2) of FIG. 7A, which will be described later, or the first metadata (715-1) of FIG. 7B, which will be described later) to transmit the media content to an external electronic device that is distinct from the electronic device (101). If the rights of the media content are linked to the electronic device (101), the electronic device (101) may transmit the media content to the external electronic device together with metadata indicating that access to or editing of the media content is permitted (e.g., the third metadata (715-3) of FIG. 7A, which will be described later). If the rights of the media content are linked to the electronic device (101), this may include cases where the electronic device can control (or manage) the rights of the media content.

[0074] For example, if the rights of the media content are linked to the server (190), the electronic device (101) can communicate with the server (190) to obtain data for transmitting the media content. The electronic device (101) can determine, based on the data, whether to transmit the media content to the external electronic device. The data can include information indicating whether the external electronic device can access the media content. If the rights of the media content are linked to the server (190), this can include cases where the rights of the media content are controlled by another user (or an external electronic device of another user) distinct from the user corresponding to the electronic device (101). If the rights of the media content are linked to the server (190), this can include cases where the server (190) can control the rights of the media content. When the rights of media content are linked to the server (190), the media content displayed on the display (150) of the electronic device (101) may be an example of encrypted media content based on DRM. For example, the form and / or hardware configuration of the external electronic device may be referenced to the form and / or hardware configuration of the electronic device (101). The media content may be displayed on the electronic paper display of the external electronic device, but is not limited thereto.

[0075] FIG. 1b illustrates an example of a first type of electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0076] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may be a foldable electronic device. For example, the housing of the electronic device (101) may include a first housing (161), a second housing (162), and a hinge housing (163) in which a hinge for rotatably connecting the first housing (161) and the second housing (162) is positioned. By the hinge housing (163), the relative position, angle, shape, and / or distance of the first housing (161) and the second housing (162), which are rigid bodies, may be changed by an external force. For example, the folding axis formed within the hinge housing (163) may be a rotation axis of the first housing (161) and the second housing (162). As the first housing (161) and / or the second housing (162) rotate about the folding axis, the angle between the first housing (161), the hinge housing (163), and the second housing (162) can change. For example, the electronic device (101) may include a display (150-2) disposed on one side (e.g., the front side (111) of the electronic device (101) of the first housing (161) and the second housing (162). The display (150-2) may be referred to as a flexible display (150-2) in terms of being foldable. For example, the flexible display (150-2) may be disposed across a hinge housing (163) from the first housing (161) to the second housing (162). Hereinafter, the angle between the first housing (161) and the second housing (162) is the angle between one side of the first housing (161) on which the flexible display (150-2) is disposed and one side of the second housing (162) that can be folded by the folding axis of the hinge housing (163). It can correspond to the angle between the surfaces.The state of the electronic device (101) in which the above angle is substantially flat (e.g., about 180 degrees) may be referred to as a fully unfolded state, an opened state, an unfolded state, a flat state, and / or a planar state. Within the above state, the flexible display (150-2) arranged from the first housing (161) to the second housing (162) may have a substantially flat shape. Within the above state, a single plane may be formed on the front surface of the electronic device (101) in which the flexible display (150-2) is arranged.

For example, the flexible display (150-2) may be disposed across a hinge housing (163) from the first housing (161) to the second housing (162). Hereinafter, the angle between the first housing (161) and the second housing (162) may correspond to the angle between one side of the first housing (161) and one side of the second housing (162) where the flexible display (150-2) is arranged, which can be folded by the folding axis of the hinge housing (not shown). The state of the electronic device (101) in which the angle is substantially flat (e.g., about 180 degrees) may be referred to as a fully unfolded state, an open state, an unfolded state, a flat state, and / or a plane state. Within the state, the flexible display (150-2) arranged from the first housing (161) to the second housing (162) may have a substantially flat shape. Within the state, a single plane may be formed on the front surface of the electronic device (101) where the flexible display (150-2) is arranged.

[0088] For example, a state of the electronic device (101) in which the angle between the first housing (161) and the second housing (162) is substantially 0 degrees may be referred to as a fully folded state, a folded state, and / or a closed state. Within this state, the flexible display (150-2) may be visually completely covered by the first housing (161) or the second housing (162). For example, within this state, the size of the flexible display (150-2) of the electronic device (101) exposed to the outside may be substantially 0.

The electronic device (101) may use the screen (220) to notify the user of the initiation of booting. While performing booting, the electronic device (101) may identify media contents to be displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1). The electronic device (101) can identify a user account linked to the electronic device (101) while booting the electronic device. Based on the identification of the user account, the electronic device (101) can display media contents including metadata indicating identification information of the electronic device (e.g., second metadata (715-2) of FIG. 7A) on the electronic paper display (150-1). While booting, the electronic device (101) can identify a network for the electronic device (101) to communicate. Based on the identification of the network, the electronic device (101) can identify a region (e.g., a country) that provides the network. Based on the identification of the region, the electronic device (101) can identify whether the electronic device (101) is authenticated in relation to the region. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) can perform authentication of the electronic device (101) (or authentication of a user account) from the server (190) based on the identification of the network.

[0095] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display media contents on the electronic paper display (150-1) after booting is completed in states (202, 206, 210). For example, the electronic device (101) may display media contents (210-1) (or visual objects). The media contents (210-1) may refer to an authentication code (or label) provided by a regional (e.g., national) certification authority indicating that the use of the electronic device (101) is permitted. The media contents (210-1) may be obtained from the server (190) based on the electronic device (101) being authenticated by the server (190). Media content (210-1) and metadata (or reference information (e.g., user account information, and / or a decryption key for decrypting the media content (210-1)) related to the media content (210-1) may be obtained from the server (190) based on the electronic device (101) being authenticated by the server (190).

[0096] For example, the electronic device (101) may display media content (210-2) (or a text object). The media content (210-2) may indicate identification information of the electronic device (101). The media content (210-2) may include a serial number to distinguish the electronic device (101) from other electronic devices.

[0097] For example, the electronic device (101) can display media content (210-3). The media content (210-3) can be acquired based on identifying a user account linked to the electronic device (101). The media content (210-3) can include text information (e.g., a message) set by a user of the electronic device (101).

[0098] For example, media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) may include encrypted metadata based on DRM. Media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) may be encrypted by the server (190). Media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) may be configured to allow access only during access or editing. The electronic device (101) may control the display of media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) independently of whether editing of the media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) is restricted. The electronic device (101) can temporarily refrain from displaying the media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) on the electronic paper display (150-1) independently from restricting changes to the form and / or content of each of the media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3). The electronic device (101) can display the decrypted media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) on the electronic paper display (150-1) after decrypting the media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3). In one embodiment, the decryption of the media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) can be based on receiving a decryption key stored in the secure element (131-1) of the server (190). In one embodiment, decryption of media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) may be based on a decryption key stored in the secure element (130-1).

[0099] For example, the electronic device (101) may temporarily refrain from transmitting a power signal to the electronic paper display (150-1) after displaying media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) on the electronic paper display (150-1) while performing booting. For example, the electronic device (101) may transmit a power signal to the electronic paper display (150-1) in order to display media contents other than the media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1). The electronic device (101) can temporarily refrain from displaying media contents (210-1, 210-2, 210-3) and display other media contents on the electronic paper display (150-1) by transmitting the power signal to the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0100] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may identify an input indicating disposal of the electronic device (101) in states (203, 207, 211) (or an input for displaying information about a hardware configuration included in the electronic device (101).

[0104] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can acquire an image (310) using a camera (e.g., camera (140) of FIG. 1A) in states (301, 303, 305). The electronic device (101) can acquire media content (350) to be displayed on an electronic paper display (150-1) using the image (310). For example, the electronic device (101) can display media content (350) representing at least a portion of the image (310) acquired using the camera on the electronic paper display (150-1). For example, the electronic device (101) can encrypt the media content (350) using a security element to acquire the media content (350) using the image (310). The electronic device (101) may encrypt the media content (350) to restrict editing of the media content (350), but is not limited thereto. The electronic device (101) may encrypt the media content (350) based on DRM using information about a designated user who is permitted to access the media content (350), but is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) may display the media content (350) corresponding to an image (310) acquired through a camera on the electronic paper display (150-1) in states (302, 304, 306).

[0105] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may, after acquiring an image (310) using a camera in states (301, 303, 305), transmit image data for the image (310) to a server (190). The server (190) may store one or more media contents in a memory. The one or more media contents may be classified based on a type. The server (190) may, based on receiving the image data, identify media contents corresponding to the image data among the one or more media contents. The server (190) may provide a theme service from the perspective of including one or more media contents. The theme service may be used by the electronic device (101) to display one or more programs on a display suitable for a user. The theme may be acquired based on a graphical interface. The electronic device (101) can display one or more media contents based on a single theme on the electronic paper display (150-1), the display (150-2), and / or the cover display (150-3). The electronic device (101) can provide a user experience based on a sense of unity by displaying one or more media contents based on a single theme on the display (150). The electronic device (101) can provide a theme service for changing the graphic interface of the electronic device (101) to the user by linking with the server (190).

[0106] For example, the server (190) may identify media content corresponding to the image data among one or more media contents based on receiving the image data. The server (190) may identify the right (e.g., ownership) of the image (310) (or a subject included in the image) based on receiving the image data. For example, the right of the image (310) may indicate that use is restricted to a user who does not have the right to the image (310), such as ownership or trademark rights, from a legal perspective. The server (190) may identify the right of the image (310) by identifying the image (310) using a neural network for analyzing the image. For example, the server (190) may identify whether the right of the image (310) belongs to another external electronic device (or another user) distinct from the electronic device (101) that transmitted the image data (or the user of the electronic device (101). If the authority of the image (310) is linked with the electronic device (101), the server (190) can transmit data indicating media content corresponding to the image (310) to the electronic device (101). If the authority of the image (310) is linked with another external electronic device that is distinct from the electronic device (101), the server (190) can transmit data indicating that the media content corresponding to the image (310) is to be transmitted to the electronic device (101) to the other external electronic device. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0107] For example, the server (190) can use a security element to encrypt media content to be transmitted to the electronic device (101). For example, the server (190) can use metadata included in the media content to set information indicating the period of time during which the media content can be used, the number of uses, and / or whether the media content can be transmitted to another electronic device. The server (190) can transmit the media content to the electronic device (101) together with metadata in which the above information is set.

[0108] For example, in states (302, 304, 306), the electronic device (101) may display the media content (350) on the electronic paper display (150-1) among the display (150-2), the cover display (150-3), or the electronic paper display (150-1) based on receiving the media content from the server (190). The electronic device (101) may decrypt the media content (350) and then display the decrypted media content (350) on the electronic paper display (150-1). In one embodiment, the decryption of the media content (350) may be based on receiving a decryption key stored in the secure element (131-1) of the server (190). In one embodiment, the decryption of the media content (350) may be based on a decryption key stored in the secure element (130-1). However, this is not limited thereto. When the server (190) transmits one or more media contents based on a theme related to the image (310) to the electronic device (101), the electronic device (101) can display each of the one or more media contents on the display (150-2), the cover display (150-3), and the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0109] As described above, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can obtain media content having a theme corresponding to an image acquired through a camera by linking with the server (190). Based on the acquired media content, the electronic device (101) can display the media content on the electronic paper display (150-1). The media content acquired by the electronic device (101) through the server (190) may be an example of encrypted media content. The electronic device (101) can request an authentication procedure from the server (190) to transmit the encrypted media content to the electronic device (101) and other external electronic devices (101). Based on the request for the authentication procedure from the server (190), the electronic device (101) can strengthen the security of the media content.

[0110] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C, an example of an operation of an electronic device (101) displaying media content based on a non-fungible token (NFT) on an electronic paper display (150-1) according to one embodiment is described.

[0112] Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4C , an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can display media content related to a non-fungible token (NFT) on an electronic paper display (150-1). For example, the electronic device (101) can manage virtual objects related to NFTs owned by a user of the electronic device (101) using an NFT software application. For example, the electronic device (101) can display a screen (420) on a display (e.g., display (150-2)) based on the execution of the NFT software application.

[0113] For example, the electronic device (101) can display one or more virtual objects owned by a user of the electronic device (101) using the screen (420). The electronic device (101) can display the screen (420) using an actual object associated with an NFT. The electronic device (101) can display the screen (420) by identifying a code (e.g., a QR code or NFC tag) included in the actual object using a camera and / or a communication circuit. The screen (420) can be used to select media content to be displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) by the electronic device (101) among one or more virtual objects owned by the user.

[0114] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may identify an event (e.g., an input for displaying media content). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) of FIG. 4A or FIG. 4C may, based on the identification of the event, transmit data indicating a request for display of the media content to the server (190) using the cover display (150-3) independently of displaying the screen (420) on the display (150-2). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) of FIG. 4A or FIG. 4C may, independently of displaying the screen (420) on the display (150-2), transmit data indicating a request for display of the media content to the server (190) using the cover display (150-3). For example, the electronic device (101) may transmit data to the server (190) to request display of media content using the screen (425) displayed on the cover display (150-3). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) of FIG. 4B may transmit data indicating a request for display of media content to the server (190) using the display (150-2), independently of displaying the screen (420) on the display (150-2). For example, the electronic device (101) may transmit data to the server (190) to request display of media content using the screen (425) displayed on the display (150-2).

[0115] For example, based on receiving an input indicating selection of media content, the electronic device (101) may transmit data regarding the selected media content to the server (190). The data may include metadata indicating whether the NFT virtual object corresponding to the media content is authorized by the user of the electronic device (101). As an example, the server (190) may identify an account of a user logged into the electronic device (101) based on receiving the data. Based on identifying the user's account, the server (190) may identify that the authority for the media content is associated with the electronic device (101).

[0116] For example, the server (190) can communicate with the blockchain (410) that manages the NFT to identify whether the user of the electronic device (101) has the authority to the media content. For example, the blockchain (410) can mean a group of information that is distributed across different electronic devices connected within a network and serially connected based on hash values. Information related to the NFT can be distributed and stored across nodes included within the network. Among the electronic devices that store the group of information, information stored in a specific electronic device can include other information serially connected to the information, data for identifying other electronic devices in which the other information is stored within the network, and data for authenticating the serial connection between the information and the other information. The data for authenticating the serial connection between the information and the other information can include a hash value of the information or the other information. For example, the hash value may be obtained based on a transaction (e.g., the minimum unit of a transaction) representing transaction details. For example, the hash value may be obtained based on a specified length. For example, a user account indicating ownership of an NFT linked to an electronic device (101) (or a user of the electronic device (101)) may be distributed and stored within the blockchain (410).

[0117] For example, the server (190) can communicate with the blockchain (410) and, based on the identification of the user's account, identify that the user of the electronic device (101) has the authority to the media content. The server (190) can transmit data indicating that the use of the media content is permitted to the electronic device (101). The server (190) can transmit metadata corresponding to the media content to the electronic device (101) together with the media content. The metadata can include information indicating the authority, period of use, number of uses, and / or transferability of the media content. For example, the server (190) can transmit a visual object indicating that the use of the media content is permitted to the electronic device (101) together with the media content. The visual object can represent a serial number for identifying an NFT virtual object corresponding to the media content. The server (190) can restrict editing of the serial number through a security element. An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may display media content (430) on an electronic paper display (150-1) based on receiving data indicating permission to use media content from a server (190). The electronic device (101) may display the visual object (not shown) together with the media content (430) on the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0118] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C, an example of an operation of an electronic device (101) to generate media content to be displayed on an electronic paper display (150-1) is described.

[0119] FIG. 5A illustrates an example of a user interface for generating media content to be displayed on a display by a first type of electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 5B illustrates an example of a user interface for generating media content to be displayed on a display by a second type of electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 5C illustrates an example of a user interface for generating media content to be displayed on a display by a third type of electronic device according to one embodiment. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 5A may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 3A, and / or FIG. 4A.

[0120] Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5C , an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may display a screen (510) for obtaining media content (515) on a display (150-2). The screen (510) may include a visual object (510-1) representing a three-dimensional modeling of the electronic device (101) and / or visual objects (510-2) for obtaining media content (515). The screen (510) may be referred to as a user interface used for obtaining media content (515). The electronic device (101) may receive an input for selecting media content (515) to be displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) using the visual objects (510-2). The visual objects (510-2) may include text objects, shapes, images, and / or color information for generating media content (515). The electronic device (101) may receive an input indicating selection of a color, type, and / or shape of the media content (515) using the visual objects (510-2). For example, the electronic device (101) may generate the media content (515) by combining one or more selected objects based on receiving an input indicating selection of one or more objects of the text object, shape, image, and / or color information.

[0121] The electronic device (101) can guide the user to media content (515) to be displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) of the electronic device (101) based on receiving the input. The electronic device (101) can change the shape of the visual object (510-1) by receiving an input for rotating the visual object (510-1). The electronic device (101) can display the media content (515) to be shown to the user on the display (e.g., the display (150-2)) by changing the shape of the visual object (510-1) based on the input.

[0122] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (510) while displaying other media content (505) on the electronic paper display (150-1) in a state (501). The electronic device (101) may enter a state (502) from the state (501) after a specified time. The electronic device (101) may display the screen (510) and, after a specified time, initialize the display of the other media content (505). The electronic device (101) may display the screen (510) and, after a specified time, temporarily refrain from displaying the other media content (505). The electronic device (101) may temporarily refrain from displaying the other media content (505) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) in order to display the media content (515). The electronic device (101) can display media content (515) on the electronic paper display (150-1) after receiving an input indicating acquisition of media content (515) by temporarily refraining from displaying other media content (505) in state (502).

[0123] For example, based on receiving an input indicating acquisition of media content (515), the electronic device (101) may transmit the media content (515) and / or metadata corresponding to the media content (515) to a server (e.g., server (190) of FIG. 1A). The server may, based on receiving the media content (515) and / or the metadata, modify the metadata using information indicating that the user of the electronic device (101) has authority over the media content (515), but is not limited thereto.

[0124] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can display the screen (510) based on the execution of a software application for generating media content (515). The electronic device (101) can obtain the media content (515) using the screen (510). While the electronic device (101) obtains the media content (515), the electronic device (101) can initialize the electronic paper display (150-1). Based on initializing the electronic paper display (150-1), the electronic device (101) can reduce the time required to display the media content (515) on the electronic paper display (150-1) after obtaining the media content (515).

[0125] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 7d below, an exemplary flowchart illustrating an operation for an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment to transmit media content to another electronic device is described below.

[0126] FIG. 6 illustrates an example of a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 6 may include the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1A to 5C. At least one of the operations of FIG. 6 may be performed by the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A and / or the processor (120) of FIG. 1A. Each of the operations of FIG. 6 may be performed sequentially, but is not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of each of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0127] FIG. 7A illustrates an example of an operation for a first type of electronic device to transmit media content to an external electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 7B illustrates an example of an operation for a second type of electronic device to transmit media content to an external electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 7C illustrates an example of an operation for a third type of electronic device to transmit media content to an external electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 7D illustrates an example of an operation for an electronic device to transmit media content to an external electronic device according to an embodiment. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 7A may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 3A, FIG. 4A, and / or FIG. 5A. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 7B may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C, FIG. 2B, FIG. 3B, FIG. 4B, and / or FIG. 5B. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 7c may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1a, FIG. 1d, FIG. 2c, FIG. 3c, FIG. 4c, and / or FIG. 5c. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 7d may include the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1a to 7c.

[0128] Referring to FIG. 6, a processor according to one embodiment may display media content on an electronic paper display at operation 610. The media content may include metadata indicating information about the authority of the media content.

[0129] In operation 620 according to one embodiment, a processor according to one embodiment may identify an input for transmitting media content to a first external electronic device via a communication circuit. The first external electronic device may be a terminal owned by an owner different from the owner of the electronic device. The terminal may include, for example, a personal computer (PC) such as a laptop or desktop. The terminal may include, for example, a smartphone, a smartpad, and / or a tablet PC. The terminal may include a smart accessory such as a smartwatch and / or a head-mounted device (HMD). As an example, the first external electronic device may include a hardware configuration substantially similar to that of the electronic device (101). For example, the input for transmitting media content may include identifying that at least a portion of the electronic device (101) and at least a portion of the first external electronic device are in contact. At least a portion of the electronic device (101) and at least a portion of the first external electronic device may be examples of parts including a short-range wireless communication circuit (e.g., a near field communication (NFC) circuit). For example, the input for transmitting media content may include an input indicating that a function (e.g., quick share) for wirelessly transmitting media content to a first external electronic device located in the vicinity of the electronic device (101) is to be initiated. For example, the input for transmitting media content may include an input for the electronic device (101) to display a code (e.g., a QR code) corresponding to the media content on a display (e.g., the display (150-2)). For example, the input for transmitting media content may include receiving a signal from the first external electronic device indicating that the media content is to be displayed on an electronic paper display of the first external electronic device.

[0130] Referring to FIG. 6, a processor according to one embodiment may, at operation 630, identify whether the media content includes metadata indicating that it is linked to an electronic device. The fact that the media content is linked to an electronic device may indicate that the user of the electronic device has authority over the media content.

[0131] Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, if the media content is linked to an electronic device (operation 630 - Yes), in operation 640, in response to identifying the input, the processor may transmit the media content to a first external electronic device along with metadata indicating that access to the media content or access during editing is permitted.

[0132] Referring to FIGS. 7A to 7C , an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may display media content (515) on an electronic paper display (150-1). The media content (515) may include user information indicating authority of the media content (515). The media content (515) may include second metadata (715-2) indicating that it is linked to the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) may identify an input for transmitting the media content to a first external electronic device (701) while the media content (515) includes the second metadata (715-2) indicating that it is linked to the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) may identify the input for transmitting the media content based on identifying a contact between at least a portion of the electronic device (101) and at least a portion of the first external electronic device (701). After identifying the above input, the electronic device (101) may display a screen indicating whether to transmit media content to the first external electronic device (701) or a screen indicating whether to receive other media content from the first external electronic device (701) on the display (e.g., the cover display (150-3)). For example, when receiving other media content, the electronic device (101) may receive other media content from the first external electronic device. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0133] For example, the electronic device (101) can transmit, to the first external electronic device (701), third metadata (715-3) indicating that access is permitted, together with the media content (515). The electronic device (101) can encrypt the media content (515) based on DRM using a security element. For example, the electronic device (101) can change the second metadata (715-2) to the third metadata (715-3). The electronic device (101) can change the second metadata (715-2) to the third metadata (715-3) based on changing at least one piece of information included in the second metadata (715-2). The electronic device (101) can set the usage period of the media content (515) using the security element. The electronic device (101) can use the security element to determine whether the media content (515) can be retransferred. The electronic device (101) can use the security element to determine whether the media content (515) can be edited. The electronic device (101) can transmit the encrypted media content (515) to the first external electronic device (701). The third metadata (715-3) can indicate user information corresponding to the media content (515) and / or a usage period. The first external electronic device (701) can display the media content (515) on the electronic paper display (750-1) of the first external electronic device (701) for the set usage period. For example, since the first external electronic device (701) is allowed to access or edit the media content (515), editing of the media content (515) can be restricted. The electronic device (101) can decrypt the media content (515) and then display the decrypted media content (515) on the electronic paper display (150-1).In one embodiment, decryption of the media content (515) may be based on receiving a decryption key stored in the security element (131-1) of the server (190). In one embodiment, decryption of the media content (515) may be based on a decryption key stored in the security element (130-1).

[0134] Referring again to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, if the media content does not include metadata indicating that it is associated with an electronic device (operation 630—No), then in operation 650, while the media content includes metadata indicating that it is associated with a second external electronic device, in response to identifying the input, the processor may communicate with the second external electronic device to obtain data for transmission of the media content. The second external electronic device may be referenced by the server (190) of FIG. 1A. The media content being associated with the second external electronic device may mean that the authority of the media content resides with a user distinct from the user of the electronic device (101). For example, if the media content is associated with the second external electronic device, the second external electronic device may identify whether use of the media content by the first external electronic device is permitted.

[0135] Referring to FIG. 6, at step 660, a processor according to an embodiment may determine whether to transmit media content to a first external electronic device based on data. For example, if the second external electronic device allows the first external electronic device to use the media content, the second external electronic device may transmit data to the electronic device indicating that the first external electronic device allows the use of the media content. The processor of the electronic device may transmit the media content to the first external electronic device based on receiving the data.

[0136] For example, if the use of media content by the first external electronic device is restricted, the second external electronic device may transmit data to the electronic device indicating that the use of media content by the first external electronic device is restricted. Based on receipt of the data, the electronic device may not transmit media content to the first external electronic device. However, this is not limited thereto.

[0137] Referring to FIG. 7D , an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may identify an input indicating transmission of media content to a first external electronic device (701). As an example, the input may be obtained by identifying contact between at least a portion of the electronic device (101) and at least a portion of the first external electronic device (701).

[0138] For example, the electronic device (101) can identify first metadata (715-1) for media content (515). Based on identifying the first metadata (715-1), the electronic device (101) can identify that the media content (515) is linked to the server (190). The electronic device (101) can identify that authority for the media content (515) is controlled by another user (or an external electronic device of another user) distinct from the user of the electronic device (101). Based on identifying the first metadata (715-1), the electronic device (101) can transmit data indicating that the media content (515) is to be transmitted to the first external electronic device (701) to the server (190). The server (190) can identify whether use of the media content (515) by the first external electronic device (701) is permitted based on identifying the media content (515) and the first metadata (715-1) for the media content (515). Whether use of the media content (515) by the first external electronic device (701) is permitted may include whether a user of the first external electronic device (701) has permission to use the media content (515). The server (190) can transmit data indicating whether use of the media content (515) by the first external electronic device (701) is permitted to the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) can determine whether to transmit the media content to the first external electronic device (701) based on the data.

[0139] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may determine whether to transmit the media content (515) and / or metadata corresponding to the media content (515) to the first external electronic device (701). The electronic device (101) may determine whether to transmit the media content (515) to the first external electronic device (701) depending on whether the electronic device (101) or the server (190) has authority over the media content (515). For example, if the media content (515) is linked to the electronic device (101), the electronic device (101) may transmit the media content (515) to the first external electronic device (701) together with metadata indicating that access to the media content (515) is permitted. For example, if the media content (515) is linked to the server (190), the electronic device (101) can request the server (190) whether to transmit the media content (515) to the first external electronic device (701). The electronic device (101) can determine whether to transmit the media content to the first external electronic device (701) by obtaining data for transmitting the media content (515) from the server (190).

[0140] In FIGS. 7A to 7C , media content is transmitted between electronic devices (101, 701) of the same type, but this is merely an example. Depending on the embodiment, media content may be transmitted between electronic devices (101, 701) of different types. For example, media content may be transmitted between a first type of electronic device (101) and a second type of electronic device (701).

[0141] FIG. 8A illustrates an example of media content obtained based on identifying at least one code by a first type of electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 8B illustrates an example of media content obtained based on identifying at least one code by a second type of electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 8C illustrates an example of media content obtained based on identifying at least one code by a third type of electronic device according to an embodiment. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 8A may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 3A, FIG. 4A, FIG. 5A, and / or FIG. 6A.

The electronic device (101) of FIG. 7c may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1a, FIG. 1d, FIG. 2c, FIG. 3c, FIG. 4c, FIG. 5c and / or FIG. 7c.

[0142] Referring to FIGS. 8A to 8C , an electronic device (101) according to an embodiment may identify at least one piece of code information (811) using a camera. The at least one piece of code information (811) may include information about media content (515). Based on identifying the at least one piece of code information (811) using the camera, the electronic device (101) may communicate with the server (190) to obtain the media content (515). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Independently of identifying the at least one piece of code information using the camera, the electronic device (101) according to an embodiment may identify information representing the media content (515) based on short-range wireless communication. Based on identifying the information representing the media content (515), the electronic device (101) may request the server (190) to transmit the media content (515).

[0143] For example, the electronic device (101) can request the server (190) for media content (515) corresponding to at least one piece of code information (811). The server (190) can identify the media content (515) corresponding to at least one piece of code information (811). The server (190) can identify whether use of the media content (515) by the electronic device (101) is permitted. The server (190) can identify that use of the media content (515) by the electronic device (101) is permitted using metadata of the media content (515). Based on the identification, the server (190) can transmit the media content (515) to the electronic device (101) together with metadata of the media content (515). The electronic device (101) can display the media content (515) on the electronic paper display (150-1) based on receiving the media content (515).

[0145] Referring to FIGS. 9A to 9C , an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can display a screen (910) on a display (150-3) for obtaining media content (920) to be displayed on an electronic paper display (150-1). The electronic device (101) can use the screen (910) to set conditions for displaying the media content (920). The conditions can include a location on the electronic paper display (150-1) where the media content (920) is to be displayed, and / or a time for displaying the media content (920).

[0146] For example, media content (920) may include information about a user of the electronic device (101). For example, media content (920) may include information for identifying the user. As an example, media content (920) may represent an identification card, employee ID card, and / or driver's license.

[0147] For example, the media content (920) may include information related to a user of the electronic device (101). As an example, the media content (920) may represent an airplane ticket or train ticket purchased by a user of the electronic device (101) using at least one software application. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. As an example, the media content (920) may include code information (e.g., a QR code and / or a barcode).

[0148] As described above, the electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can assist the convenience of the user's daily life by displaying media content (920) related to the user on the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0149] Referring to FIGS. 10A to 10C, an example of an operation of an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment to display one or more media contents related to a theme on one or more displays is described below.

[0150] FIG. 10A illustrates an example of visual objects displayed by a first type of electronic device according to an embodiment.

[0151] Referring to FIGS. 10A to 10C, an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may communicate with a server (190) to display one or more media contents on a display (150). The server (190) may provide a theme service that manages one or more media contents to be displayed on the display (150).

[0152] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (1010) on a display (e.g., display (150-2)) based on the execution of a software application for utilizing a theme service. The software application may be an example of a theme store application that sells themes for decorating the graphic interface of the electronic device (101).

[0153] For example, the electronic device (101) may receive an input indicating a selection of a type of media content to be displayed on the display using the screen (1010). For example, the electronic device (101) may identify the type of media content (1015-1) based on the input. Based on the identification of the type of media content (1015-1), the electronic device (101) may identify media contents (1015-2, 1015-3) related to the media content (1015-1).

[0154] For example, the electronic device (101) may identify an input indicating a purchase of media content (1015-1). Based on identifying the input, the electronic device (101) may transmit a request to the server (190) to grant permission to the electronic device (101) (or a user of the electronic device (101)) to the media content (1015-1).

[0155] For example, the server (190) may perform encryption on the media content (1015) by using the security element upon receiving the request. The server (190) may perform the encryption to prevent the electronic device (101) from transmitting the media content (1015) to another external electronic device. The server (190) may encrypt the media content (1015) based on DRM. The server (190) may transmit the encrypted media content (1015) to the electronic device (101). The server (190) may transmit a visual object (1016) to the electronic device (101) together with the media content (1015) indicating that the use of the media content (1015) by the electronic device (101) is permitted. The visual object (1016) may indicate that the authority of the media content (1015) belongs to the electronic device (101) (or the user of the electronic device (101)). For example, the visual object (1016) may indicate encrypted media content (1015) based on DRM. For example, the visual object (1016) may indicate identification information (e.g., a limited edition number) for identifying the media content (1015). For example, the electronic device (101) may display the media content (1015-3) and / or the visual object (1016) on the electronic paper display (150-1). The electronic device (101) may decrypt the media content (1015-3) and / or the visual object (1016) and then display the decrypted media content (1015-3) and / or the visual object (1016) on the electronic paper display (150-1). In one embodiment, the decryption of the media content (1015-3) and / or the visual object (1016) may be based on receiving a decryption key stored in the secure element (131-1) of the server (190).In one embodiment, decryption of the media content (1015-3) and / or visual object (1016) may be based on a decryption key stored in the secure element (130-1).

[0156] For example, the electronic device (101) may display each of the media contents (1015-1, 1015-2, 1015-3) on the display (150) based on receiving the media contents (1015). The electronic device (101) may display the media contents (1015-3) on the electronic paper display (150-1). The media contents (1015-3) may be an example of media contents related to other media contents (e.g., media contents (1015-1) or media contents (1015-2)) displayed on at least one of the cover display (150-3) or the display (150-2). The media contents (1015) may be an example of media contents acquired based on a theme. The electronic device (101) can provide a user with a graphical interface based on a sense of unity by displaying each of the media contents (1015-1, 1015-2, 1015-3) on the display (150).

[0157] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (101) can identify at least one piece of code information included in a real object purchased by a user of the electronic device (101) using a camera. The electronic device (101) can identify media content (1015) using the at least one piece of code information. Based on the identified at least one piece of code information, the electronic device (101) can identify whether the user can access the media content (1015). Based on the identified at least one piece of code information, the electronic device (101) can request a server (190) to determine whether the user can access the media content (1015).

[0158] For example, the server (190) can store user information that purchased a real object in metadata for the media content (1015). In response to the request, the server (190) can use the metadata to determine whether the electronic device (101) (or a user account logged into the electronic device (101)) has permission to the media content (1015). The server (190) can use a security element to store information indicating that the media content (1015) is linked to the electronic device (101) in the metadata. The server (190) can transmit the media content (1015) to the electronic device (101) together with the metadata. The electronic device (101) can display the media content (1015) on a display.

[0159] An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment can transfer rights to media content (1015) to an external electronic device (or a user of the external electronic device) other than the electronic device (101).

[0160] For example, the electronic device (101) may sell rights to the media content (1015) using a software application for providing a theme service. When rights to the media content (1015) are sold, the electronic device (101) may transfer rights to the media content (1015) to an external electronic device (or a user of the external electronic device) that purchased the rights to the media content (1015).

[0161] For example, the electronic device (101) may store information indicating that the media content (1015) is linked to the external electronic device in the metadata using a security element. For example, the electronic device (101) may transmit data indicating that the right to the media content (1015) is sold to the server (190). The server (190) may identify, based on the data, that the right to the media content (1015) is transferred from the electronic device (101) to an external electronic device other than the electronic device (101). For example, the server (190) may encrypt the media content (1015) based on DRM based on the identification. The server (190) may change the metadata of the media content (1015) using the information indicating that the media content (1015) is linked to the external electronic device based on the identification.

[0162] For example, the server (190) may transmit data representing encrypted media content to the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device. The server (190) may transmit data to the electronic device (101) indicating that use of the media content (1015) is restricted. The server (190) may transmit data to the external electronic device indicating that use of the media content (1015) is permitted. For example, the electronic device (101) may restrict use of the media content (1015) based on the transfer of rights to the media content (1015) to the external electronic device. As an example, the electronic device (101) may temporarily refrain from displaying the media content (1015) on the display based on the transfer of rights to the media content (1015) to the external electronic device. However, this is not a limitation.

[0163] FIG. 11 illustrates an example of a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 11 may include the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1A to 10C . At least one of the operations of FIG. 11 may be performed by the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A and / or the processor (120) of FIG. 1A . Each of the operations of FIG. 11 may be performed sequentially, but is not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of each of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0164] Referring to FIG. 11, in operation 1110, a processor according to one embodiment may identify contact between at least a portion of an electronic device and at least a portion of an external electronic device while temporarily refraining from transmitting a power signal to the electronic paper display after displaying media content on the electronic paper display. Based on the identification of the contact, the processor may receive an input indicating transmission of the media content using a communication circuit (e.g., a short-range wireless communication circuit).

[0165] Referring to FIG. 11, in operation 1120, a processor according to an embodiment may, based on identifying contact between at least a portion of an electronic device and at least a portion of an external electronic device (e.g., the first external electronic device 701 of FIG. 7A), receive, from the external electronic device, a signal requesting display of media content on another electronic paper display (or at least one display) of the external electronic device corresponding to the electronic paper display, using a communication circuit. The external electronic device may be one of the electronic devices according to the forms of FIGS. 1B to 1D, but is not limited thereto. The processor may receive, from the external electronic device, a signal requesting media content to be displayed on the electronic paper display of the external electronic device. For example, the media content may include metadata indicating the authority of the media content. The processor may use the metadata to identify that the media content is associated with the electronic device. The processor may use the metadata to identify that the authority of the media content belongs to the electronic device (or a user of the electronic device).

[0166] Referring to FIG. 11, at operation 1130, a processor according to one embodiment may encrypt media content using a secure element stored in memory to transmit the media content to an external electronic device based on receiving a signal. The processor may encrypt the media content based on DRM. For example, the processor may modify metadata using information indicating that access to the media content or access during editing is permitted. For example, the processor may modify metadata using information indicating that transfer of the media content is restricted.

[0167] Referring to FIG. 11, in operation 1140, a processor according to an embodiment may transmit encrypted media content to an external electronic device via a communication circuit. For example, the processor may transmit a decryption key for accessing the media content to the external electronic device. For example, the external electronic device may display the encrypted media content on an electronic paper display of the external electronic device. For example, a visual object representing the encrypted media content may be displayed on the electronic paper display. For example, in order for the external electronic device to transmit the media content to another external electronic device, the external electronic device may request a server (e.g., server 190 of FIG. 1A) whether the other external electronic device has permission to the media content. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0168] FIG. 12A illustrates an example of visual objects displayed by a first type of electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 12B illustrates an example of visual objects displayed by a second type of electronic device according to an embodiment. FIG. 12C illustrates an example of visual objects displayed by a third type of electronic device according to an embodiment. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 12A may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 3A, FIG. 4A, FIG. 5A, FIG. 7A, FIG. 8B, FIG. 9A, and / or FIG. 10A. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 12B may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C, FIG. 2B, FIG. 3B, FIG. 4B, FIG. 5B, FIG. 7B, FIG. 8B, FIG. 9B, and / or FIG. 10B. The electronic device (101) of FIG. 12a may include the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1a, FIG. 1d, FIG. 2c, FIG. 3c, FIG. 4c, FIG. 5c, FIG. 6c, FIG. 8c, FIG. 9c, and / or FIG. 10c.

[0169] Referring to FIGS. 12A to 12C, an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may communicate with a server (190) to display one or more media contents on a display (150). The server (190) may provide a theme service that manages one or more media contents to be displayed on the display (150).

[0170] For example, the electronic device (101) can display the media content (1210) on the display (150) based on receiving the media content (1210) from the server (190). The electronic device (101) can display the media content (1210) on the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0171] An electronic device (101) according to one embodiment may communicate with a server (190) to update media content (1210) displayed on an electronic paper display (e.g., electronic paper display (150-1)). For example, the server (190) may transmit data to the electronic device (101) for updating media content (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (e.g., electronic paper display (150-1)) according to a change in circumstances.

[0172] In one embodiment, the situation may include updating a theme. In one embodiment, when the theme applied to the electronic device (101) is updated, the server (190) may transmit media content (1220) to the electronic device (101) to update the media content (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0173] In one embodiment, the context may include changing display conditions of displayable media content through themes. In one embodiment, the display conditions may include time conditions, seasonal conditions, date conditions (e.g., day, week, month) conditions, event conditions (e.g., national holidays, holidays, vacations, travel, games) conditions, and / or regional conditions.

[0174] For example, the time condition can classify the media contents that can be displayed through the theme into displayable media contents according to time intervals. For example, the time intervals can be divided into morning and afternoon, meal times and other times, and work times and break times. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, if the current time is outside the time interval set for the media contents (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) through the theme applied to the electronic device (101), the server (190) can transmit the media contents (1220) that can be displayed in the current time interval among the media contents that can be displayed through the theme to the electronic device (101).

[0175] For example, a seasonal condition may classify media contents displayable through a theme into displayable media contents according to seasons (e.g., spring, summer, fall, winter) (or 24 solar terms). In one embodiment, the server (190) may transmit media contents (1220) displayable in the current season among the displayable media contents through the theme to the electronic device (101) when the current date is outside the season set for the media contents (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) through the theme applied to the electronic device (101).

[0176] For example, a date (e.g., day, week, month) condition can classify media contents displayable through themes into displayable media contents according to the date (e.g., day, week, month). In one embodiment, the server (190) can transmit media contents (1220) displayable on the current date (e.g., day, week, month) among the displayable media contents through the theme to the electronic device (101) when the current date is outside the date (e.g., day, week, month) set for the media contents (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) through the theme applied to the electronic device (101).

[0177] For example, an event (e.g., national holiday, holiday, vacation, travel, game) condition can classify media contents that can be displayed through a theme into media contents that can be displayed according to the event (e.g., national holiday, holiday, vacation, travel, game). In one embodiment, when the current date is outside the schedule of the event (e.g., national holiday, holiday, vacation, travel, game) set for the media contents (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) through the theme applied to the electronic device (101), the server (190) can transmit media contents (1220) that can be displayed on the schedule of the current event (e.g., national holiday, holiday, vacation, travel, game) among the media contents that can be displayed through the theme to the electronic device (101).

[0178] For example, a regional condition may classify media contents displayable through a theme into displayable media contents according to a region. In one embodiment, if the current location of the electronic device (101) is outside the region set for the media contents (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) through the theme applied to the electronic device (101), the server (190) may transmit to the electronic device (101) media contents (1220) displayable at the current location among the media contents displayable through the theme.

[0179] For example, the electronic device (101) can display the media content (1220) on the display (150) based on receiving the media content (1220). The electronic device (101) can display the media content (1220) on the electronic paper display (150-1).

[0180] As described above, the electronic device (101) can update the media content (1210) displayed on the electronic paper display (150-1) according to changes in the theme and / or changes in the situation (or, conditions). Accordingly, since the media content (1210) is changed according to changes in the theme and / or changes in the situation (or, conditions) without user intervention, the user's efforts to change the media content can be reduced.

[0254] In one embodiment, an electronic device may communicate with a server to determine whether to transmit media content to be displayed on an electronic paper display to an external electronic device. The electronic device may communicate with the server to determine whether to transmit the media content to the external electronic device based on identifying rights to the media content. A method for the electronic device to communicate with the server to identify rights to the media content may be required.

[0255] In an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment as described above, the electronic device includes a first housing (161) including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, a first display (150-2) disposed on the first side, a second display (150-1) disposed on the second side, a communication circuit (170), a memory (130) including one or more storage media storing instructions, and at least one processor (120), wherein the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display media content (515) on the second display. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify an input for transmitting the media content to a first external electronic device (701) via the communication circuit. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device, in response to identifying the input, to communicate with the second external electronic device to obtain data for transmission of the media content, if the first metadata (715-1) indicates that the media content is linked to a second external electronic device (190). The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to determine, based on the data, whether to transmit the media content to the first external electronic device.

[0256] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device, in response to identifying the input, to transmit the media content based on a DRM (digital rights management) set using a security element (131) stored within the memory, together with third metadata (715-3) indicating permission of access to or editing of the media content, to the first external electronic device, if the second metadata (715-2) indicates that the media content is linked to the electronic device.

[0257] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to obtain, using the user interface (510), the media content including the second metadata indicating that the electronic device is connected. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to initialize display of other media content (505) using the second display while obtaining the media content. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the acquired media content on the second display after initializing display of the other media content.

[0258] For example, the electronic device may further include a camera (140). The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display, on the second display, the media content representing at least a portion of image data acquired using the camera, if the media content includes the second metadata indicating that the media content is associated with the electronic device.

[0259] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to transmit the image data acquired using the camera to the second external electronic device using the communication circuit. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the media content on the second display based on receiving the media content representing at least a portion of the image data from the second external electronic device.

[0260] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the media content on the second display in response to receiving the media content based on the digital rights management (DRM) from the second external electronic device, if the media content includes the first metadata indicating that the media content is linked to the second external electronic device.

[0261] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to temporarily refrain from transmitting a power signal to the second display after displaying the media content on the second display.

[0262] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify an account of a first user connected to the electronic device after booting up of the electronic device is completed. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display, on the second display, the media content including the second metadata indicative of identification information of the electronic device based on the identification of the account of the first user.

[0263] In an electronic device (101) according to one embodiment as described above, the electronic device may include a first housing (161) including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, a first display (150-2) disposed on the first side, a second display (150-1) disposed on the second side, a communication circuit (170), a memory (130) for storing instructions, and a processor (120). The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify contact between at least a portion of the electronic device and at least a portion of an external electronic device (701) while temporarily refraining from transmitting a power signal to the second display after displaying media content (515) on the second display. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to receive, from the external electronic device, a signal using the communication circuitry, requesting display of the media content on at least one display of the external electronic device corresponding to the second display, based on identifying the contact between at least a portion of the electronic device and at least a portion of the external electronic device. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to, based on receiving the signal, encrypt the media content using a secure element (131) stored in the memory to transmit the media content to the external electronic device.The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to transmit the encrypted media content to the external electronic device via the communication circuit.

[0264] For example, the encrypted media content may include third metadata (715-3) indicating that access to or editing of the media content is permitted, and that access by another external electronic device distinct from the external electronic device is controlled.

[0265] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to, prior to displaying the media content on the second display, obtain, using the user interface (510), the media content including the second metadata indicating that the electronic device is connected to the second display. The processor, when the instructions are executed, may cause the processor, while obtaining the media content, to initialize display of other media content (505) using the second display. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the acquired media content on the second display after initializing display of the other media content.

[0266] For example, the electronic device may further include a camera (140). The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display, on the second display, the media content representing at least a portion of image data acquired using the camera, if the media content includes the second metadata indicating that the media content is associated with the electronic device.

[0267] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to transmit the image data acquired using the camera to another external electronic device (190) distinct from the external electronic device, using the communication circuit. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the media content on the second display based on receiving the media content representing at least a portion of the image data from the another external electronic device.

[0268] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display, on the second display, the media content related to other media content (1015-1, 1015-2) displayed on at least one of the first display or the second display.

[0269] For example, the media content may be displayed on the second display independently of temporarily refraining from transmitting the power signal to the second display. The encrypted media content may be displayed on at least one display of the external electronic device based on what has been transmitted to the external electronic device.

[0270] In a method performed by an electronic device (101) according to an embodiment as described above, the method may include an operation of displaying media content (515) on a second display (150-1). The method may include an operation of identifying an input for transmitting the media content to a first external electronic device (701) via a communication circuit (170). If the media content includes first metadata (715-1) indicating that it is linked to a second external electronic device (190), the method may include an operation of obtaining data for transmitting the media content by communicating with the second external electronic device in response to identifying the input. The method may include an operation of determining, based on the data, whether to transmit the media content to the first external electronic device.

[0271] For example, the method may include, in response to identifying the input, transmitting the media content based on a DRM (digital rights management) set using a security element (131) stored in a memory to the first external electronic device, together with third metadata indicating that access to or editing of the media content is permitted, if the media content includes second metadata (715-2) indicating that the media content is linked to the electronic device.

[0272] For example, the method may include an operation of obtaining, using a user interface (510), the media content including the second metadata indicating that the media content is linked to the electronic device. The method may include an operation of initializing the display of other media content (505) using the second display while obtaining the media content. After initializing the display of the other media content, the method may include an operation of displaying the obtained media content on the second display.

[0273] For example, the method may include displaying, on the second display, the media content representing at least a portion of image data acquired using the camera (140), if the media content includes second metadata indicating that the media content is linked to the electronic device.

[0274] For example, the method may include an operation of transmitting the image data acquired using the camera to the second external electronic device using the communication circuit.
