[0066] According to one embodiment, the memory (230) may store information (or data) about the electronic device (201). For example, the memory (230) may store information (or data) about various contents (e.g., images, videos, audio, and / or applications).

[0067] According to one embodiment, the memory (230) may store an artificial intelligence (AI) model. For example, the AI ​​model may be a pre-trained model. For example, the AI ​​model may include an AI model capable of analyzing images.

[0068] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may control the overall operation of the electronic device (201). For example, the processor (220) may be implemented identically or similarly to the processor (120) of FIG. 1.

[0069] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may obtain (e.g., generate, extract, or derive) first values ​​for locations (e.g., wall surfaces and ceiling surfaces) at which beams are to be output through the projector (240) in a specific space (e.g., a home, an office, or a residence). The processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to search for a plurality of areas (e.g., a room, a living room, a bathroom, a lobby, and / or a reception room) included in the specific space. For example, the driving device (260) may include a means (e.g., wheels) for moving the electronic device (201). For example, the processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to move the electronic device (201) in the up, down, left, and right directions.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to automatically move the electronic device (201) to a plurality of areas included in a specific space using an AI model related to autonomous driving stored in the memory (230). The processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to move the electronic device (201) to the plurality of areas, and may acquire images captured by using the camera (210) of the plurality of areas.

[0071] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may analyze the images to obtain first values ​​for locations in a specific space. The first values ​​may be obtained by analyzing at least one of the size, color, material, illuminance, or presence of an object (e.g., a wall clock, a picture frame, or a light bulb) of the corresponding locations (e.g., a wall surface and / or a ceiling surface). For example, the processor (220) may input the images into a first AI model (e.g., an image analysis model) stored in the memory (230) to obtain the first values ​​for the locations in the specific space. For example, the first values ​​may be values ​​(or scores) indicating whether the corresponding locations are suitable locations for displaying an image corresponding to a beam output through the projector (240). For example, a higher value may indicate a more suitable location for displaying an image corresponding to a beam output through the projector (240).

[0072] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may determine a ranking (e.g., a recommended ranking or priority) of locations of specific spaces based on the first values. For example, the processor (220) may determine a location having the highest value among the first values ​​as the location with the first ranking (e.g., a recommended ranking or priority).

[0073] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may store, in the memory (230), information about first values ​​and rankings of positions for locations (e.g., walls and ceilings) at which beams are to be output through the projector (240) in a specific space (e.g., a home, an office, or a residence). The processor (220) may update the information about the first values ​​and rankings stored in the memory (230) periodically or aperiodically (e.g., when a user's request is confirmed).

[0074] According to one embodiment, when a user's request (e.g., a request to start operation of a project (240)) is confirmed, the processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to move to a recommended location determined based on the first values ​​and rankings for the locations of specific spaces stored in the memory (230). If the first values ​​for the locations of specific spaces are not stored in the memory (230), the processor (220) may acquire the first values ​​for the locations of specific spaces newly based on the method described above.

[0075] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may, when a command to display content through a projector (240) in a specific space is confirmed, identify first values ​​for locations at which beams are to be output.

[0076] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may determine a first position at which a beam corresponding to content is to be output through the projector (240) based on the first values. For example, the first position may be a position corresponding to the highest value among the first values. The processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to move the electronic device (201) to the first position.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may output a first beam for testing to a first surface (e.g., a wall surface or a ceiling surface) corresponding to the first surface when the electronic device (201) moves to a first position through the projector (240). For example, the first beam may be for adjusting an output state of the projector (240) so that a first image (e.g., an image displayed on the first surface) corresponding to the beam output from the projector (240) satisfies a specified image condition. For example, the processor (220) may be configured to adjust the output state of the projector (240) to at least one of an angle, a height, a position, or an illuminance at which the projector (240) outputs a beam.

[0078] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may input a first image corresponding to a first beam displayed on a first surface captured by the camera (210) into a first artificial intelligence (AI) model stored in the memory to determine whether the first image satisfies a specified image condition.

[0079] According to one embodiment, if the processor (220) determines that the first image does not satisfy the specified image condition, the processor (220) may control at least one of the adjustment device (250) or the driving device (260) so that the first image corresponding to the first beam satisfies (or until) the specified image condition. For example, the adjustment device (250) may include a device for adjusting the angle and / or height of the first beam output from the projector (240). For example, the processor (220) may control the adjustment device (250) to adjust at least one of the angle, the height, or the position of the beam output from the projector (240). For example, the processor (220) may control the driving device (260) to adjust at least one of the size or the position of the first image corresponding to the first beam output from the projector (240).

[0080] According to one embodiment, when it is determined that the first image satisfies a specified image condition, the processor (220) may control at least one of the adjustment device (250) or the driving device (260) to an output state corresponding to the specified image condition while outputting a beam corresponding to the content to the first surface through the projector (240).

[0081] According to one embodiment, the processor (220) may control at least one external electronic device (e.g., a smart curtain, a screen, a light, and / or a speaker) around the electronic device (201) through the communication circuit (270). For example, the processor (220) may control at least one external electronic device around the electronic device (201) to display an image satisfying a specified image condition on the first surface. For example, the processor (220) may control a curtain around the electronic device (201) (e.g., open / close) or control a light (e.g., turn it on / off) to display an image corresponding to a beam on the first surface.

[0082] Based on the above-described method, the electronic device (201) can provide an environment in which a user can easily enjoy content using a projector in an optimal state.

[0083] FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an artificial intelligence model stored in an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 4, according to one embodiment, an artificial intelligence model (301) may be stored in a memory (e.g., memory (230) of FIG. 2) of an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (201) of FIG. 2). For example, the artificial intelligence model (301) may include a pre-trained artificial intelligence model.

[0085] According to one embodiment, the artificial intelligence model (301) may include a location-specific priority judgment model (310), an image condition judgment model (320), and an autonomous driving model (330).

[0086] According to one embodiment, the location-based priority determination model (310) may determine the ranking (e.g., recommendation ranking or priority) of locations (e.g., walls and / or ceilings) of a specific space. For example, the location-based priority determination model (310) may obtain first values ​​for locations (e.g., walls and / or ceilings) included in the multiple areas (e.g., a first room, a second room, and a living room) included in a specific space (e.g., a house) based on images representing the multiple areas. For example, the first values ​​may be determined based on at least one of the color, pattern, material, size, curvature, and presence of objects of the walls and / or ceilings. For example, the larger the wall (or ceiling) is, the larger the first value of the corresponding wall may be. For example, the more the pattern (or design) of the wall (or ceiling) is absent or close to white, the larger the first value of the corresponding wall may be. For example, the smoother and less curvature the material (e.g., paint finish) of a wall (or ceiling) is, the higher the first value of that wall may be. For example, the less objects (e.g., lights and / or power buttons) are attached to a wall (or ceiling), the higher the first value of that wall may be. Furthermore, if an object is attached to a wall (or ceiling), the smaller the object is, the higher the first value of that wall may be.

[0087] In one embodiment, the location-specific priority determination model (310) may determine the priority of the corresponding locations based on the first values. Furthermore, the location-specific priority determination model (310) may determine the priority of locations within a specific area (e.g., the first room, the second room, or the living room).

[0088] According to one embodiment, the location-specific priority judgment model (310) may determine the ranking (e.g., priority or recommendation ranking) of locations included in a specific space at least once when the electronic device (201) is first used or located in a new location.

[0089] According to one embodiment, the image condition judgment model (320) can judge whether a first image (e.g., an image displayed on a first surface corresponding to a determined first position) corresponding to a first beam (e.g., a beam for testing) output from a projector (e.g., a projector (240) of FIG. 3) satisfies a specified image condition. For example, the image condition judgment model (320) can analyze images captured by a camera (e.g., a camera (210) of FIG. 3) of the first image displayed on the first surface to adjust the output state of the first image. For example, the image condition judgment model (320) can control an adjustment device (e.g., an adjustment device (250) of FIG. 3).

[0090] According to one embodiment, the autonomous driving model (330) may move the electronic device (201) to a first location recommended by the location-specific priority judgment model (310) in a specific space. For example, the autonomous driving model (330) may analyze images captured by a camera (e.g., the camera (210) of FIG. 3) and automatically move the electronic device (201) to the first location. For example, the autonomous driving model (330) may control a driving device (e.g., the driving device (260) of FIG. 3).

[0091] According to one embodiment, the autonomous driving model (330) may control the driving device (260) to cause the electronic device (201) to automatically move through a plurality of areas included in a specific space to obtain (or generate) information about first values ​​and / or ranks for locations in the specific space. Alternatively, the autonomous driving model (330) may control the driving device (260) to cause the electronic device (201) to automatically move through a plurality of areas included in the specific space to update information about first values ​​and / or ranks for locations in the specific space.

[0092] Meanwhile, although FIG. 4 illustrates the artificial intelligence model as including three models (310, 320, and 330), this may be merely an example. Depending on the implementation, the three models (310, 320, and 330) may be implemented as a single model or multiple models (e.g., three different multiple models).

[0093] At least some of the operations of the electronic device (201) described below may be performed (or controlled) by the processor (220). Depending on the implementation, at least some of the operations of the electronic device (201) may be performed (or controlled) by the artificial intelligence model (301). However, for convenience of explanation, the subject of the operations will be described as the electronic device (201).

[0094] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for an electronic device to automatically move to a position where an image is output and output a beam at that position, according to one embodiment.

[0095] Referring to FIG. 5, according to one embodiment, in operation 501, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (201) of FIG. 3) may identify first values ​​for locations at which a beam corresponding to content is to be output through a projector (e.g., projector (240) of FIG. 3) in a specific space (e.g., home, office, school, or residence). For example, the first values ​​may be stored in advance in a memory (e.g., memory (230) of FIG. 3).

[0096] According to one embodiment, in operation 503, the electronic device (201) may determine a first position at which to output a beam corresponding to the content through the projector (240) based on the first values. The electronic device (201) may control a driving device (e.g., a driving device (260) of FIG. 3) to move the electronic device (201) to the first position.

[0097] According to one embodiment, in operation 505, the electronic device (201) may output a first beam for testing through the projector (240) to a first surface (e.g., a wall surface or a ceiling surface) corresponding to the first location when the electronic device (201) moves to the first location.

[0098] According to one embodiment, in operation 507, the electronic device (201) inputs a first image corresponding to a first beam displayed on a first surface captured by a camera (e.g., camera (210) of FIG. 3) into a first artificial intelligence (AI) model (e.g., image condition judgment model (320) of FIG. 4) stored in a memory (230) to determine whether the first image satisfies a specified image condition. For example, the electronic device (201) may determine whether the first image satisfies a specified focus, size, and distortion degree.

[0099] According to one embodiment, if the first image is not determined to satisfy the specified image condition (NO in operation 509), in operation 511, the electronic device (201) may control at least one of the adjustment device (e.g., the adjustment device (250) of FIG. 3) or the driving device (e.g., the driving device (260) of FIG. 3) so that the first image satisfies the specified image condition. For example, the electronic device (201) may adjust the angle and / or height of the projector (240) or adjust the position of the electronic device (201) so that the first image satisfies the specified image condition. The electronic device (201) may control at least one of the adjustment device (250) or the driving device (260) until the first image satisfies the specified image condition.

[0100] According to one embodiment, if it is determined that the first image satisfies the specified image condition (example of operation 509), in operation 513, the electronic device (201) can output a beam corresponding to the content to the first surface through the projector (240) while controlling at least one of the adjusting device (201) or the driving device to a state corresponding to the specified image condition.

[0101] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method for an electronic device to automatically move to a position for outputting an image, according to one embodiment.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 6, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may be located in a specific space (e.g., a house) that includes a plurality of areas or rooms (610, 620, and 630). When a command to execute a projector function (e.g., a command generated in response to a user input) is confirmed, the electronic device (201) may check first values ​​for locations (e.g., wall surfaces or ceiling surfaces) of the specific space stored in the electronic device (201). For example, the first values ​​may include information about locations included in the specific space (e.g., a recommendation ranking, a score, an area of ​​the corresponding location, a name of the location (e.g., a direction), and location information (e.g., GPS information). For example, the first values ​​may be stored in advance in the electronic device (201) as shown in Table 1.

[0103]

[0104] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) can identify a first location (625) having the highest value among the first values ​​(e.g., the first side (south side) of the living room (620) of Table 1). The electronic device (201) can determine (or recommend) the first location (625) as a location for outputting a beam from a projector (e.g., the projector (240) of FIG. 3). The electronic device (201) can automatically move to the first location (625) by controlling the driving device (260).

[0105] According to the above-described method, when a command for executing a projector function (e.g., a command generated in response to a user's input) is confirmed, the electronic device (201) can automatically move to a position suitable for outputting a beam from the projector (240). Accordingly, the electronic device (201) can automatically move to a position suitable for outputting a beam without a separate user input. In addition, the electronic device (201) can minimize the time required to confirm a position suitable for outputting a beam.

[0106] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a method for setting a state in which an electronic device satisfies a specified image condition at a location to which the electronic device has moved, according to one embodiment.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 7, according to one embodiment, after an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (201) of FIG. 2) moves to a first location (e.g., first location (625) of FIG. 6) (or in front of the first location), the electronic device (201) can output a first beam for testing to a first surface corresponding to the first location (e.g., first location (625)).

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) can determine whether the first image corresponding to the first beam displayed on the first surface satisfies a specified image condition. For example, an out-of-focus first image (710) may not satisfy the specified image condition. For example, a small and rotated first image (720) may not satisfy the specified image condition. For example, a distorted first image (730) may not satisfy the specified image condition. The electronic device (201) can control at least one of an adjustment device (e.g., an adjustment device (250) of FIG. 3) or a driving device (e.g., a driving device (260) of FIG. 3) to adjust at least one of an angle, a size, a position, an illuminance, or a height of the first image.

[0109] According to one embodiment, the first image (750) may satisfy a specified image condition. The electronic device (201) may stop the test operation when the first image (750) displayed on the first surface is confirmed. Thereafter, the electronic device (201) may output a beam corresponding to the content to the first surface in the corresponding state (or output state of the projector (240)).

[0110] According to the above-described method, the electronic device (201) can automatically determine or set the output state of the projector (240). Accordingly, the electronic device (201) can automatically set a state suitable for outputting a beam without separate user input. In addition, the electronic device (201) can minimize the time required to set a state suitable for outputting a beam and increase user convenience.

[0111] FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating a method for setting a state in which an electronic device satisfies a specified image condition at a location to which the electronic device has moved, according to one embodiment.

[0112] Referring to FIG. 8A, according to an embodiment, an electronic device (201) (e.g., the electronic device (201) of FIG. 3) may control a driving device (e.g., the driving device (260) of FIG. 3) to adjust at least one of the size, position, or illuminance of a first image. For example, the electronic device (201) may control the driving device (260) to correct the position vertically with respect to the first side (south side). In addition, the electronic device (201) may control the driving device (260) to correct the position left and right with respect to the first side (south side). The electronic device (201) may output a first beam to the first side at the corrected position, and determine whether the first image corresponding to the first beam displayed on the first side satisfies a specified image condition.

[0113] Referring to FIG. 8B, according to an embodiment, the electronic device (201) (e.g., the electronic device (201) of FIG. 3) may control an adjustment device (e.g., the adjustment device (250) of FIG. 3) to adjust at least one of an angle, a size, a position, an illuminance, or a height of a first image. For example, the electronic device (201) may control the adjustment device (250) to adjust the height up and down with respect to the first side (south side). In addition, the electronic device (201) may control the adjustment device (250) to adjust the angle up and down with respect to the first side (south side). In addition, the electronic device (201) may adjust the angle left and right with respect to the first side (south side). The electronic device (201) can output a first beam to a first surface at an adjusted height and / or angle, and determine whether a first image corresponding to the first beam displayed on the first surface satisfies a specified image condition.

[0114] According to the above-described method, the electronic device (201) can automatically determine or set the output state of the projector (240). Accordingly, the electronic device (201) can automatically set a state suitable for outputting a beam without separate user input. In addition, the electronic device (201) can minimize the time required to set a state suitable for outputting a beam and increase user convenience.

[0115] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method by which an electronic device determines priorities for locations in a specific space, according to one embodiment.

[0116] Referring to FIG. 9, according to one embodiment, in operation 901, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (201) of FIG. 3) may check whether first values ​​for positions in a specific space are stored in a memory (e.g., the memory (230) of FIG. 3). For example, when the electronic device (201) enters a new location or space, the electronic device (201) may not store first values ​​for positions suitable for outputting a beam in the location or space.

[0117] According to one embodiment, if it is determined that first values ​​for locations of a specific space are stored in the memory (230) (example of operation 903), in operation 905, the electronic device (201) can determine a first location to output a beam based on the stored first values.

[0118] According to one embodiment, if it is determined that the first values ​​for the locations of a specific space are not stored in the memory (230) (NO in operation 903), in operation 907, the electronic device (201) may control the driving device (e.g., the driving device (260) of FIG. 3) to search (or scan) a plurality of areas included in the specific space. The electronic device (201) may search the areas included in the specific space to identify suitable locations for outputting a beam in a new location or space. In operation 909, the electronic device (201) may acquire images of the plurality of areas included in the specific space using a camera (e.g., the camera (210) of FIG. 3) while controlling the driving device (260) to search the specific space.

[0119] According to one embodiment, in operation 911, the electronic device (201) may input images into a first AI model (e.g., the location-specific priority judgment model (310) of FIG. 4) to obtain first values ​​for locations in a specific space.

[0120] In one embodiment, at operation 913, the electronic device (201) may determine a ranking (e.g., a recommendation ranking or priority) of a plurality of regions based on the first values. For example, the electronic device (201) may sort the first values ​​in descending order and determine the location with the highest value as the location with the highest recommendation ranking or priority.

[0121] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a method for an electronic device to determine priorities for locations in a specific space, according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a method for an electronic device to determine priorities for locations in a specific space, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] Referring to FIG. 10, according to an embodiment, when the electronic device (201) enters a new specific space, it may newly acquire (or generate) first values ​​for positions at which beams are to be output in the specific space. To this end, the electronic device (201) may automatically search (or scan) a plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630) included in the specific space. For example, the electronic device (201) may sequentially move and search a first room (610), a living room (620), and a second room (630). In addition, while searching the plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630), the electronic device (201) may acquire images captured by using a camera (e.g., the camera (210) of FIG. 3).

[0123] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may analyze images captured in a plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630) using an AI model (e.g., a location-specific priority judgment model (310) of FIG. 4), and obtain first values ​​for locations in a specific space (e.g., wall surfaces or ceiling surfaces) based on the analysis results.

[0124] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine the first values ​​based on at least one of the color, pattern, material, size, curvature, and presence of an object of the wall surfaces (or ceiling surfaces) included in the plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630). For example, the larger the size of the wall surface (or ceiling surface), the larger the first value of the corresponding wall surface. For example, the size of the first side and the third side of the “living room (620)” among the plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630) may be larger than the other sides. Accordingly, the first side and the third side of the “living room (620)” may have a high value (or score) related to the size.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 11, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may check the color, material, or pattern of the walls (or ceilings) included in the plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630), and determine first values ​​by considering the checked color, material, or pattern. For example, the more the pattern (or design) of the wall (or ceiling) is absent or closer to white, the larger the first value of the corresponding wall may be. Additionally, the smoother and less curvature the material (e.g., paint finish) of the wall (or ceiling) may be, the larger the first value of the corresponding wall may be. For example, among the plurality of images (1110, 1120, 1130, 1140, and 1150), a surface corresponding to one image (1110) may have a higher value related to the color, material, or pattern than the other surfaces.

[0126] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may further determine the curvature and presence of an object for a specific wall surface. Based on the determination result, the electronic device (201) may determine values ​​related to the curvature and presence of an object for the specific wall surface.

[0127] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first value for a specific wall surface by adding up values ​​for at least one of color, pattern, material, size, curvature, and presence of an object for the specific wall surface. For example, among the plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630), the first side of the “living room (620)” may have the highest first value. When a command to execute a projector function is confirmed, the electronic device (201) may determine the first side of the “living room (620)” as a recommended location. For example, when a command to execute a projector function is confirmed, the electronic device (201) may automatically move to a location corresponding to the first side of the “living room (620)” and automatically set the output status of the projector at the corresponding location.

[0128] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may store location information (e.g., GPS information) for a corresponding location together with values ​​for the corresponding location. For example, the electronic device (201) may obtain location information for the corresponding location using a GNSS module (e.g., 192 of FIG. 1) included in the electronic device (201). For example, the electronic device (201) may also store location information (e.g., GPS information) for the first side of the “living room (620)” in the first value for the first side.

[0129] According to one embodiment, the first values ​​may be stored in the electronic device (201) (or memory (230)) as shown in Table 1. For example, the first values ​​may include information about locations included in a specific space (e.g., a recommendation ranking, a score, an area of ​​the location, a name of the location (e.g., a direction), and location information (e.g., GPS information).

[0130] According to the above-described method, the electronic device (201) can automatically determine or set the output state of the projector (240).

[0131] FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a method for an electronic device to determine a first location to output a beam by further considering user preferences or user input, according to one embodiment.

[0132] Referring to FIG. 12, according to one embodiment, in operation 1201, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (201) of FIG. 3) may verify user input and / or user preferences (or user settings). For example, the user preferences (or user settings) may be pre-specified by the user.

[0133] According to one embodiment, in operation 1203, the electronic device (201) may determine the first location at which to output the beam by further considering the user input and / or the user preference (or the user setting value). That is, the electronic device (201) may determine the first location at which to output the beam by further considering the user input and / or the user preference (or the user setting value) in addition to the first values ​​stored in advance.

[0134] Examples related to this will be specifically described in FIGS. 13, 14a, 14b, and 15 below.

[0135] FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a method for an electronic device to determine a first location to output a beam by further considering a user input according to one embodiment.

[0136] Referring to FIG. 13, according to an embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first location to output a beam based on a user input (1310). For example, when a user points to a specific wall (1330), the electronic device (201) may output a beam to the corresponding specific wall (1330) (e.g., the third side of the “living room (620)”). For example, the electronic device (201) may use a camera (e.g., the camera (210) of FIG. 3) to confirm an input (1310) indicating that the user is pointing to the specific wall (1330). Alternatively, the electronic device (201) may use a voice command to confirm an input indicating that the user is pointing to the specific wall (1330).

[0137] According to one embodiment, if the electronic device (201) determines that a specific wall surface (1330) pointed at by the user is not suitable for outputting a beam (e.g., if the first value of the specific wall surface (1330) is determined to be lower than a specified value (e.g., 5 out of 20)), the electronic device (201) may ask the user to reconfirm whether to output a beam to the specific wall surface (1330). Alternatively, the electronic device (201) may ask the user to reconfirm whether the user pointed to a third surface of another area (610 or 630).

[0138] FIGS. 14A and 14B are diagrams illustrating a method for an electronic device to determine a first location to output a beam by further considering a user preference (or user setting value) according to one embodiment.

[0139] Referring to FIGS. 14A and 14B , according to an embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first location at which to output a beam based on a user preference (or user setting value). For example, the electronic device (201) may store information about a user preference (or user setting value) that allows the beam to be output within a specified distance (e.g., 3 meters or 6 meters) based on the current location of the user (1410). For example, the electronic device (201) may identify the location of the user (1410) using a camera (e.g., the camera (210) of FIG. 3 ) or a sensor. Alternatively, the electronic device (201) may identify the location of the user (1410) by analyzing a communication signal received from an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) carried by the user (1410) using a communication circuit (e.g., the communication circuit (270) of FIG. 2 ).

[0140] Referring to FIG. 14A, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first location to output a beam in an area (1420) included within a specified distance (e.g., 3 meters) from the current location of the user (1410). For example, the electronic device (201) may determine a third surface (1430) in an area (630) corresponding to a “second room” among a plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630) as the first location.

[0141] Referring to FIG. 14B, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first location to output a beam in an area (e.g., a third surface (1430)) included within a specified distance (1460) (e.g., 6 meters) from the current location of the user (1410). For example, the electronic device (201) may determine the first surface (1470) in an area (620) corresponding to a “living room” among a plurality of areas (610, 620, and 630) as the first location.

[0142] FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a method for an electronic device to determine a first location to output a beam by taking further consideration of a user's location, according to one embodiment.

[0143] Referring to FIG. 15, according to an embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first location to output a beam based on a user preference (or user setting value). For example, the electronic device (201) may store information about a user preference (or user setting value) that allows the beam to be output in an area (e.g., a room) where the user (1510) is currently located. For example, the electronic device (201) may identify the location of the user (1510) using a camera (e.g., the camera (210) of FIG. 3) or a sensor. Alternatively, the electronic device (201) may identify the location of the user (1410) by analyzing a communication signal received from an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) carried by the user (1510) using a communication circuit (e.g., the communication circuit (270) of FIG. 2). For example, the electronic device (201) may identify that the user is currently located in the first room (610).

[0144] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may determine a first location at which to output a beam in a first room (610) where the user (1510) is currently located. For example, the electronic device (201) may determine a surface having the highest first value among a plurality of surfaces (e.g., wall surfaces and / or ceiling surfaces) included in the first area (610) as the first location. For example, the electronic device (201) may determine a first surface (1520) included in the first room (610) as the first location.

[0145] FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a method for an electronic device to track a user and output a beam at different locations, according to one embodiment.

[0146] Referring to FIG. 16, according to one embodiment, in operation 1601, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (201) of FIG. 3) may determine whether a user is present in an area corresponding to the first location while outputting a beam corresponding to content to a first surface corresponding to a first location. For example, the electronic device (201) may determine whether a user is present in an area corresponding to the first location using a camera (e.g., camera (210) of FIG. 3) or a sensor while outputting a beam corresponding to content.

[0147] According to one embodiment, if it is determined that the user is present in an area corresponding to the first location (example of operation 1603), the electronic device (201) can continue to determine whether the user is present in the area corresponding to the first location while outputting a beam corresponding to the content on the first surface.

[0148] According to one embodiment, if it is determined that the user is not present in the area corresponding to the first location (NO in operation 1603), in operation 1605, the electronic device (201) may determine whether a specified time has elapsed after determining that the user is not present in the area corresponding to the first location. For example, the specified time may be automatically set by the electronic device (201) or may be set by the user.

[0149] In one embodiment, if it is determined that the specified time has not elapsed after the user is confirmed to be absent from the area corresponding to the first location (NO of operation 1605), the electronic device (201) may continue to determine whether the user is present in the area corresponding to the first location.

[0150] According to one embodiment, if it is determined that a specified time has elapsed after the user is confirmed to be absent from an area corresponding to a first location (e.g., operation 1605), in operation 1607, the electronic device (201) may control a driving device (e.g., the driving device (260) of FIG. 3) to move the electronic device (201) to a second location where the user is located. For example, playback of content may be stopped. For example, the electronic device (201) may control the driving device (260) to track the user (or the location of the user). For example, the electronic device (201) may identify the location of the user while moving from the first location to other locations. Based on the tracking result, the electronic device (201) may identify the second location where the user is located. Thereafter, the electronic device (201) may move to the second location.

[0151] In one embodiment, in operation 1609, after the electronic device (201) moves to the second position, the electronic device (201) may output a beam corresponding to the content on the second surface corresponding to the second position. For example, the content may be played back from the point at which playback was stopped.

[0152] In another embodiment, the electronic device (201) may, after moving to a second location, reconfirm to the user that it will output a beam at that location. For example, if the user requests to output a beam, the electronic device (201) may output a beam corresponding to the content at the second location. At this time, the content may be played back from the point at which playback was stopped.

[0153] FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a method for an electronic device to track a user and output a beam at a different location, according to one embodiment.

[0154] Referring to FIG. 17, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) can determine whether a user (1710) is present in the living room (620) while outputting a beam corresponding to content to the first surface (1720) of the living room (620).

[0155] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may move from the living room (620) to the second room (630) based on determining that the user (1710) has moved from the living room (620) to the second room (630). At this time, the electronic device (201) may pause the playback of content corresponding to a beam output from a projector (e.g., projector (240) of FIG. 3).

[0156] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may, after moving to the second room (630), output a beam to the first side (1730) of the second room (630) to reproduce the content. At this time, the content may be reproduced again from the point where it was previously stopped.

[0157] In another embodiment, the electronic device (201) may, after moving to the second room (630), ask the user whether to output a beam at that location. For example, the electronic device (201) may ask the user whether to output a beam at that location by outputting a voice or displaying a visual object. After reconfirming that the electronic device (201) will output a beam corresponding to the content based on the user input, the electronic device (201) may output a beam corresponding to the content at the second location.
