Description

Electronic devices and methods for providing content using the same

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device and a method for displaying content using the same.

[0002] With the recent advancement of digital technology, various types of electronic devices (user devices) capable of communication and personal information processing (e.g., mobile terminals, personal digital assistants (PDAs), electronic organizers, smartphones, tablets, and / or personal computers (PCs)) are being released. As the functions provided by electronic devices diversify and electronic devices are widely utilized in daily life, the time spent using electronic devices is gradually increasing. Electronic devices may be operatively or functionally connected to external electronic devices and may control, at least partially, the functions of the external electronic devices. For example, electronic devices may provide content desired by users and / or customers through external electronic devices.

[0003] Electronic devices can select content desired by users and / or customers based on an artificial intelligence model (e.g., an AI model) and provide the selected content to the users and / or customers. The electronic devices can visually output the content using an external electronic device (e.g., a transparent display device).

[0004] The above information may be provided as background art to aid in understanding the present disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the above is applicable as prior art related to the present disclosure.

[0005] Electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, PCs, computers) can display specific content via an external electronic device (e.g., a transparent display device) while being operatively connected to the external electronic device. For example, the specific content may not automatically change to a different type of content under certain circumstances, but may instead include fixed content selected by the user of the electronic device. In this case, the external electronic device may function as a simple display device.

[0006] Electronic devices can display content via external electronic devices (e.g., transparent display devices), and in situations where the user continually interacts with the device, the content determined by the user can be passively displayed via the external electronic device. The electronic device can display only the resulting information (e.g., specific content) based on the user's input without independently detecting changes in the external environment.

[0007] According to one embodiment, when generating content related to a specific product and outputting it through an external electronic device, the electronic device may analyze image and list information related to the specific product and independently generate recommended content based on the analysis. For example, the electronic device may independently generate recommended content desired by a user and / or customer based on an artificial intelligence model (e.g., an AI (artificial intelligence) model) and provide the recommended content to the user and / or customer. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may independently generate recommended content desired by the user and / or customer and provide the generated recommended content to the user and / or customer using an external electronic device (e.g., a transparent display device).

[0008] The technical tasks to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical tasks mentioned above, and other technical tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those with ordinary skill in the technical field to which this document pertains from the description below.

[0009] According to one embodiment, an electronic device may include a communication module for operatively connecting with an external electronic device, a display, a processor, and a memory for storing instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device may identify an image related to a product and list information of the product, extract content information corresponding to the product based on the image and the list information, generate first recommended content indicating an arrangement form of a physical element corresponding to the product based on the extracted content information and the exhibition space within an exhibition space, generate second recommended content including a virtual effect generated based on the extracted content information and the first recommended content in response to a first user input for the first recommended content, and transmit the first recommended content and the second recommended content to the external electronic device in response to a second user input for the second recommended content such that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is output through the external electronic device.

[0010] According to one embodiment, a method for providing content by an external electronic device may include an operation of checking an image related to a product and list information of the product, an operation of extracting content information corresponding to the product based on the image and the list information, an operation of generating first recommended content indicating an arrangement form of a physical element corresponding to the product based on the extracted content information and the exhibition space in an exhibition space, an operation of generating second recommended content including a virtual effect generated based on the extracted content information and the first recommended content in response to a first user input for the first recommended content, and an operation of transmitting the first recommended content and the second recommended content to the external electronic device in response to a second user input for the second recommended content so that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is output through the external electronic device.

[0011] According to one embodiment, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (or, computer program product) storing one or more programs for performing a method for an electronic device to provide content through an external electronic device may be described. According to one embodiment, the one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by a processor of the electronic device, perform an operation of checking an image related to a product and list information of the product, an operation of extracting content information corresponding to the product based on the image and the list information, an operation of generating, in an exhibition space, a first recommended content indicating an arrangement form of a physical element corresponding to the product based on the extracted content information and the exhibition space, an operation of generating, in response to a first user input for the first recommended content, a second recommended content including a virtual effect generated based on the extracted content information and the first recommended content, and an operation of transmitting, in response to a second user input for the second recommended content, the first recommended content and the second recommended content to the external electronic device such that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is output through the external electronic device.

[0012] According to one embodiment, in a situation where a specific product is displayed in an exhibition space, an electronic device may generate first recommended content based on an image related to the specific product and list information of the specific product so that the specific product is appropriately arranged in the exhibition space. The first recommended content may provide an arrangement form for the specific product and a function-related effect of the specific product, reflecting the advertisement (e.g., image) effect of the specific product, based on a set artificial intelligence model (e.g., an AI (artificial intelligence) model). According to one embodiment, the first recommended content generated based on the specific product may be provided to a store manager (e.g., an exhibition space manager) using the electronic device, and the work efficiency of the store manager may be improved with respect to the arrangement of the specific product.

[0013] In one embodiment, the electronic device may generate second recommendation content describing the features and functions of the specific product within the exhibition space, and transmit the second recommendation content to an external electronic device (e.g., a transparent display device) so that the second recommendation content is output by the external electronic device, which is operatively or functionally connected to the electronic device. In one embodiment, the electronic device may provide the customer with second recommendation content indicating the design and functions associated with the specific product. This may enhance the advertising effectiveness of the specific product.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can detect a change in the situation within the exhibition space or in the external environment, and change the first recommended content and / or the second recommended content according to the detected change in the situation. The electronic device can, in response to detecting the change in the situation, at least partially change the first recommended content and / or the second recommended content. For example, the electronic device can provide a notification message regarding the first recommended content and / or the second recommended content to the store manager, and, in response to the store manager's confirmation, change and display the first recommended content and / or the second recommended content.

[0015] According to one embodiment, an electronic device can generate at least one recommended content tailored to the needs of a store manager (e.g., a user of the electronic device) and a customer, and output the at least one recommended content based on an external electronic device that is operatively or functionally connected. This can enhance convenience for the store manager in displaying a specific product, and enhance convenience for the customer in obtaining additional information about a specific product. Customers can easily recognize the characteristics of a specific product.

For example, the processor (120) may execute a product-related program (e.g., an application for managing products to be displayed) installed in the memory (130) and may perform a specific function related to the product. According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may generate recommended content related to a product to be displayed in an exhibition space (e.g., exhibition space (210) of FIG. 2) and provide the generated recommended content to a user. According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may be operatively, functionally, and / or electrically connected to the memory (130), the display (160), and / or the communication circuit (190).

[0073] According to one embodiment, the memory (130) of the electronic device (101) may store product-related information (311) (e.g., product list, product code information, product name, color information, material information, and / or size information) related to products to be displayed in an exhibition space (e.g., exhibition space (210) of FIG. 2)) and content-related information (312) (e.g., advertising video, key elements, and / or recommended content-related information) used to generate content for the products to be displayed. For example, the product-related information (311) may include information set by a user in relation to a specific product. The product-related information (311) may include a product database (DB) generated based on a specific brand. For example, the content-related information (312) may include various pieces of information that are taken into consideration when generating recommended content related to a specific product. For example, the processor (120) may extract at least one of various pieces of information (e.g., background information, seasonal information, weather information, object information, phrase information (e.g., expression information), and / or action information) based on an advertisement video of a specific product, and store the extracted information as content-related information (312). According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may apply an AI-related model (e.g., artificial intelligence-related model) in response to an input of an advertisement video of a product, and extract a key element (e.g., content information) set based on the advertisement video. The extracted key element may include at least one piece of information among content information, promotional information, and / or advertisement information related to the product, and may be stored in the memory (130) as content-related information (312).

[0074] For example, if the product is “winter padding” and the advertisement video is a video of a skier wearing the “winter padding” sliding down a slope on a snowy mountain, the content-related information (312) may include at least one of the product “winter padding”, the color of the product (e.g., black), the snowy mountain (e.g., a snow-covered white mountain), the skier (e.g., a person wearing skis), the accessory (e.g., goggles, a hat, a helmet, gloves, boots), the seasonal effect (e.g., blizzard, fluttering snow), the brand information, and / or the size information of the product (e.g., adult male, adult female, child). According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may apply an AI-related model to the input advertisement video and extract the aforementioned content-related information (312).

[0075] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may generate recommended content based on product-related information (311) and content-related information (312) stored in the memory (130), and may display the generated recommended content through a display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1). For example, the electronic device (101) may include a computer used by a store manager managing an exhibition space, and the display (160) of the electronic device (101) may include a monitor of the computer.

[0076] According to one embodiment, when an image related to a product (e.g., an advertising image) is input, the electronic device (101) may extract content information (e.g., key elements) corresponding to the input image based on product-related information (311) and content-related information (312), and may generate first recommended content based on the extracted content information and the exhibition space (e.g., the exhibition space (210) of FIG. 2). The electronic device (101) may output the generated first recommended content through the display (160) and provide the first recommended content to a user (e.g., a store manager). For example, the first recommended content may include a recommended image that guides the placement location of the product so that the advertising effect according to the image is maximized in a situation where the product (e.g., a physical element) is placed in the exhibition space. The user (e.g., a store manager) may determine the placement location and arrangement form of the product in the exhibition space based on the first recommended content.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate second recommended content including a virtual effect based on the extracted content information and the first recommended content. For example, the second recommended content may include a visual effect image including a virtual effect (e.g., a virtual element, a seasonal effect, a color effect, an atmosphere, a story, and / or an emphasis effect) so as to maximize the advertising effect according to the image based on the first recommended content related to a product to be placed in an exhibition space. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may at least partially control an external electronic device (301) so that the product (e.g., a real element) placed in an exhibition space and the virtual effect included in the second recommended content are harmoniously displayed.

[0078] For example, the electronic device (101) can transmit second recommended content to an external electronic device (301) that is operatively or functionally connected thereto via a communication module (190), and can at least partially control the external electronic device (301) such that the second recommended content is at least partially output via a transparent display (360) of the external electronic device (301).

[0079] According to one embodiment, a store manager, who is a user of the electronic device (101), may place products corresponding to the real elements included in the first recommended content and items (e.g., props) related to the products in the exhibition space (210). For example, products and items related to the real elements included in the first recommended content may be placed based on the electronic space (210). A transparent display device corresponding to an external electronic device (301) may be placed on one side of the exhibition space (210). For example, the external electronic device (301) may be utilized as a boundary member that separates the exhibition space (210) corresponding to an indoor space and an outdoor environment corresponding to an outdoor space. The external electronic device (301) may include a first camera (381) that photographs at least a portion of the indoor space and a second camera (382) that photographs at least a portion of the outdoor space.

[0096] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing content according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0097] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0098] According to one embodiment, operations 401 to 409 may be understood as being performed by a processor (e.g., the processor 120 of FIG. 3) of an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 3). The electronic device of FIG. 4 may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 3, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device (301) of FIG. 3) mentioned in operations 401 to 409 may be understood as being performed by a processor (e.g., the processor 320 of FIG. 3) of the external electronic device (301). For example, the external electronic device (301) may include a transparent display device that outputs content through a transparent display (e.g., the transparent display (360) of FIG. 3) under the control of the electronic device (101).

[0099] According to one embodiment, in a situation where a product is displayed in an exhibition space, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) may generate first recommended content including the product and a real element related to the product based on an image and product list information related to the product, and may generate second recommended content including a virtual effect (e.g., a virtual element) generated based on the first recommended content. The electronic device (101) is operatively or functionally connected to an external electronic device (301) and may transmit at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content to the external electronic device (301). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may at least partially control the external electronic device (301) so that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is output through the external electronic device (301) (e.g., a transparent display (360) of the external electronic device (301). According to one embodiment, at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content may be output through a transparent display (360) of an external electronic device (301) so that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is displayed together with a product placed within an exhibition space.

[0100] In one embodiment, a customer viewing the exhibition space from an external environment will experience the harmonious display of products and related first and second recommended content, allowing them to effectively understand the product's functions and usage. In one embodiment, the customer may experience improved convenience in obtaining additional information about a specific product (e.g., functions, features, materials, and / or sizes).

[0101] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) can execute a program that provides content related to a product in a situation where the product is displayed in an exhibition space.

[0102] In operation 401, the processor (120) can check an image related to a product and product list information. For example, the processor (120) can check an image related to a product (e.g., an advertising image and / or an image introducing a product) and product list information (e.g., product code information, product name, and / or a product database (DB)) in relation to a product selected by a user (e.g., a user of the electronic device (101) or a store manager managing an exhibition space). The image related to the product may include an advertising image introducing the product to a customer and may be stored in the memory (130) of the electronic device (101). The product list information may include database (DB) information including a product name and product code information representing the product and may be stored in the memory (130) of the electronic device (101). The image related to the product and the product list information may be stored as product-related information (311) of the memory (130).

[0103] In operation 403, the processor (120) may extract content information corresponding to a product. For example, based on an advertisement video of a specific product, the processor (120) may extract at least one of various pieces of information (e.g., background information, seasonal information, weather information, object information, phrase information (e.g., expression information), and / or action information) as content information. The content information may include features that include marketing insights. For example, in relation to an advertisement video related to winter padding, an image of a skier wearing winter padding gliding on a snowy mountain may be included, and in this case, at least one feature such as “winter,” “snowy mountain,” “skier,” “cold,” “sports,” “snowstorm,” “wind,” and “fast” may be extracted. The content information for the advertisement video may include features extracted based on the advertisement video (e.g., the topic, subtopic, description, atmosphere, background, and / or emotion of the advertisement). According to one embodiment, the content information may include at least one of a promotion theme (e.g., a scene of a skier wearing padding sliding down a snowy mountain), a main scene (e.g., winter, outdoors, snowy mountain, sports (skiing), adult, cold), a companion product (e.g., goggles, gloves, ski equipment), a seasonal effect (e.g., blizzard, fluttering snow), brand information (e.g., logo, writing style, font, style), product information (e.g., winter padding, color, size), and / or a product name (e.g., code information) based on an advertising video. The content information may be set by a user (e.g., a store manager), and a priority for each piece of content information may be determined. For example, content information with a relatively high priority may be preferentially considered, and content information with the high priority may be preferentially selected. For example, when the priority of the promotion theme is the highest and the promotion theme is determined to be a “Christmas theme,” the processor (120) may extract at least one piece of content information based on the “Christmas theme.”The processor (120) may extract content information such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus, the color red, and a sleigh" in accordance with the "Christmas theme." In operation 403, the processor (120) may extract content information corresponding to the product according to set criteria. The extracted content information may be stored as content-related information (311) in the memory (130).

[0104] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may apply an AI-related model (e.g., an artificial intelligence-related model) in response to an input of an advertisement video of a product, and content information corresponding to the product may be extracted by the AI-related model. For example, the AI-related model may be activated when a program providing content related to the product is executed, and may automatically extract content information corresponding to the product. The AI-related model may also extract the content information based on a history of previous content information extractions. The AI-related model may extract elements with relatively high priorities as content information based on priorities set for each element.

[0105] In operation 405, the processor (120) may generate first recommended content based on a real element corresponding to a product within a space (e.g., an exhibition space) captured using a first camera of an external electronic device (301) (e.g., the first camera (381) of FIG. 3). For example, the processor (120) may select a real element corresponding to the product based on product-related information (311) (e.g., a video related to the product and a list of products in operation 401) and content-related information (312) (e.g., content information extracted in operation 403), and may generate first recommended content including the selected real element. The processor (120) may generate the first recommended content based on a product to be exhibited within the exhibition space. For example, the first recommended content may include an exhibition image that guides a user (e.g., a store manager) in arranging the product in the exhibition space, including the placement location and arrangement form of the product. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may be operatively or functionally connected to an external electronic device (301), and may check an exhibition space captured using a first camera of the external electronic device (301) (e.g., the first camera (381) of FIG. 3, a camera that captures an indoor space (e.g., an exhibition space)). For example, the processor (120) may check the length, width, height, depth, and size of the exhibition space based on an image captured by the first camera (381) of the external electronic device (301). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate first recommended content that guides the arrangement of real elements by taking into account the size of the exhibition space.

[0106] In operation 407, the processor (120) may generate second recommended content including extracted content information and virtual effects generated based on the first recommended content in response to a first user input for the generated first recommended content. In one embodiment, a user (e.g., a store manager) may display products and items (e.g., props) related to the products in an exhibition space based on the first recommended content. When the first user input for the first recommended content is detected, it may mean that the user accepts the first recommended content. When the user accepts the first recommended content in operation 407, the processor (120) may generate virtual effects (e.g., virtual elements, seasonal effects, color effects, moods, stories, and / or highlight effects) based on the extracted content information and the accepted first recommended content. The processor (120) may generate second recommended content including the generated virtual effects. For example, the second recommended content may include a visual effect (e.g., a virtual effect) that maximizes the advertising effect according to the video (e.g., an advertisement video for a product) based on the extracted content information and the accepted first recommended content. The second recommended content may include a visual effect image that includes a virtual effect (e.g., a virtual element, a seasonal effect, a color effect, an atmosphere, a story, and / or an emphasis effect) to maximize the advertising effect. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate the second recommended content that guides the addition of a virtual effect so that it is displayed in harmony with the first recommended content based on the relevance to the first recommended content.

[0107] According to another embodiment, the processor (120) can use the first camera (381) of the external electronic device (301) to check the products and items related to the products actually placed in the exhibition space, and can check the 1-1 recommended content in the actual displayed state. For example, the 1-1 recommended content may include or remove at least one object based on the first recommended content. According to another embodiment, in operation 407, the processor (120) can generate a virtual effect (e.g., a virtual element, a seasonal effect, a color effect, an atmosphere, a story, and / or an emphasis effect) based on the extracted content information and the 1-1 recommended content.

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine the first recommended content in response to a first user input regarding the first recommended content. According to another embodiment, the electronic device (101) may determine the first-first recommended content based on products and items placed within an actual exhibition space.

[0109] In operation 409, the processor (120) may transmit at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content to the external electronic device (301) in response to a second user input for the generated second recommended content so that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is output through the external electronic device (301). When the second user input for the second recommended content is detected, it may mean that the user accepts the second recommended content. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may output the second recommended content through the external electronic device (301) in response to the second user input for the second recommended content. The external electronic device (301) may include a transparent display device including a transparent display (e.g., the transparent display (360) of FIG. 3). The external electronic device (301) can output the received recommended content through the transparent display (360) in response to receiving at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content.

[0110] According to one embodiment, when displaying products and product-related items in an exhibition space, the electronic device (101) may output at least one of first recommended content including a real element and second recommended content including a virtual element based on the transparent display (360) of the external electronic device (301). For example, the virtual element may include at least one of keywords and / or scenes (e.g., scenes) related to content (e.g., content information). The virtual element may include a subject (e.g., a sub-subject) of the advertising video, a description implemented in the advertising video, an atmosphere of the advertising video, a background of the advertising video, and / or an emotion of the advertising video. The electronic device (101) may at least partially control the external electronic device (301) so that the real element (e.g., a product) included in the first recommended content and the virtual element (e.g., a visual effect) included in the second recommended content are harmoniously displayed.

[0111] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate first recommended content (e.g., content including a physical element corresponding to the product) related to the product based on an image (e.g., an advertisement image) and product list information (e.g., product code information) related to the product displayed in an exhibition space. The electronic device (101) may extract content information related to the product based on an AI model (e.g., an artificial intelligence model) and generate first recommended content based on the extracted content information. For example, the first recommended content may include an image that guides the arrangement of the physical elements in consideration of the size of the exhibition space. In response to a user's confirmation (e.g., a first user input) of the first recommended content, the electronic device (101) may generate a virtual effect based on the extracted content information and the first recommended content, and generate second recommended content including the virtual effect. For example, the second recommended content may include a visual effect image with virtual effects (e.g., virtual elements, seasonal effects, color effects, moods, stories, and / or highlighting effects) to maximize the display effect (e.g., advertising effect) of the product. In response to a user's confirmation (e.g., a second user input) of the second recommended content, the electronic device (101) may transmit at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content to the external electronic device (301) so that at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content is output through the external electronic device (301). In response to receiving at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content, the external electronic device (301) may output the received recommended content through the transparent display (360).

[0112] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for changing content in response to a change in an external object according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] In the following examples, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily sequential. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel.

[0114] According to one embodiment, operations 501 to 507 may be understood to be performed by a processor (e.g., the processor 120 of FIG. 3) of an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 3). The electronic device of FIG. 5 may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 3, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (e.g., the external electronic device (301) of FIG. 3) mentioned in operations 501 to 507 may be understood to be performed by a processor (e.g., the processor 320 of FIG. 3) of the external electronic device (301). For example, the external electronic device (301) may include a transparent display device that outputs content through a transparent display (e.g., the transparent display (360) of FIG. 3) under the control of the electronic device (101).

[0115] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) can detect a change in an object (e.g., a change in the position of a product, a change in the shape of a product, a change in the color of a product) in an indoor space corresponding to an exhibition space, and can generate different recommended content according to the change in the object. According to one embodiment, the processor (120) can detect a change in an object (e.g., a customer's movement, a customer's moving direction, a customer's approach) in an outdoor space corresponding to an outside of the exhibition space, and can generate different recommended content according to the change in the object. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (301) can include a first camera (e.g., a first camera (381) of FIG. 3) that photographs an indoor space in a first direction and a second camera (e.g., a second camera (382) of FIG. 3) that photographs an outdoor space in a second direction different from the first direction. For example, the external electronic device (301) can detect changes in objects in an indoor space using the first camera (381), and can detect changes in objects in an outdoor space using the second camera (382).

[0116] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may be operatively or functionally connected to an external electronic device (301) and may transmit and receive signals and data therebetween. For example, the electronic device (101) may transmit a command to at least partially control the external electronic device (301), and based on the command, may at least partially control the functions and operations of the external electronic device (301).

[0117] In operation 501, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) can detect a change in an external object using the first camera (381) and the second camera (382) of the external electronic device (301). For example, the external electronic device (301) can detect a change in a product placed in an indoor space using the first camera (381). The processor (120) can confirm the position of the product placed in the indoor space and the position of an article related to the product at a first point in time, and can confirm the position of the product placed in the indoor space and the position of an article related to the product at a second point in time that is different from the first point in time. If the position of the product and the article changes, the processor (120) can determine that an external object in the indoor space has changed. As another example, the external electronic device (301) can detect the presence or absence of a customer and the movement of the customer in an outdoor space using the second camera (382). The processor (120) can use the second camera (382) to determine whether a customer approaches within a set distance and whether the customer remains within the set distance for a set period of time. If the customer remains within the set distance for a set period of time, the processor (120) can determine that an external object in the outdoor space has changed.

[0118] In operation 503, the processor (120) may generate a notification signal related to a change in an external object in response to detecting a change in the external object. For example, when the processor (120) detects a change in an external object in an indoor space using the first camera (381), the processor (120) may generate a first notification message notifying the change in the indoor space. As another example, when the processor (120) detects a change in an external object in an outdoor space using the second camera (382), the processor (120) may generate a second notification message notifying the change in the outdoor space. The processor (120) may display the generated first notification message and second notification message through a display (e.g., the display (160) of FIG. 3). According to one embodiment, when a change in an external object is detected, the electronic device (101) may generate a notification signal and provide the signal to a user (e.g., a store manager).

[0119] In operation 505, the processor (120) may generate third recommended content based on the extracted content information and the changed external object in response to a third user input for the generated notification signal. For example, when a third user input for the notification signal is detected, this may mean that the user has confirmed a change in the external object and requests generation of the third recommended content. The content information extracted in operation 505 may include the content information extracted in operation 403 of FIG. 4. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate third recommended content in response to a change in an external object in an indoor space and / or an outdoor space, reflecting the change. For example, the third recommended content may include a virtual effect that is at least partially changed from the second recommended content. The third recommended content may include a visual effect image reflecting the change in the external object.

[0120] In operation 507, the processor (120) may transmit the generated third recommended content to the external electronic device (301) in response to a fourth user input regarding the third recommended content. If the fourth user input regarding the third recommended content is detected, this may indicate that the user accepts the third recommended content. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may output the third recommended content through the external electronic device (301) in response to the fourth user input regarding the third recommended content.

[0121] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate a notification signal in response to changes in external objects detected by the first camera (381) and the second camera (382), and provide the signal to the user. The electronic device (101) may generate third recommended content reflecting the change in response to the user's confirmation of the change in the external object. For example, when a change is detected in an exhibition space, which is an indoor space, the electronic device (101) may at least partially change the first recommended content and the second recommended content, and generate third recommended content reflecting the changed portion. As another example, when a change (e.g., the appearance of a customer) is detected in an external environment, which is an outdoor space, the electronic device (101) may change the second recommended content (e.g., a visual effect image including a virtual element) to generate third recommended content. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can actively generate other recommended content (e.g., third recommended content) in response to a change in an external object and output the other recommended content through an external electronic device (301) according to the change.

[0122] FIG. 6A is a flowchart illustrating a process for generating first and second recommended content related to a specific product according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6A is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 4. FIG. 6B is a flowchart illustrating a process for generating third recommended content in response to a change in an external object according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6B is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 5.

[0123] The electronic device (101) of FIGS. 6A and 6B may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include at least partially similar components to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1. Operation 601 of FIG. 6A and operation 603 of FIG. 6B may be performed by the electronic device (101).

[0124] The external electronic device (301) of FIGS. 6A and 6B may be at least partially similar to the other electronic devices (102, 104) of FIG. 1, or may further include other embodiments of the other electronic devices (102, 104). According to one embodiment, the other electronic devices (102, 104) may include at least partially similar components to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1. The external electronic device (301) may include a transparent display device implemented with a transparent material. Operation 602 of FIG. 6A and operation 604 of FIG. 6B may be performed by the external electronic device (301).

[0125] Referring to FIG. 6A, in operation 611, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) can confirm the input of an image related to a product. For example, a user (e.g., a user of the electronic device (101) or a store manager managing an exhibition space) can input an image related to the product (e.g., an advertising image and / or an image introducing the product) into the electronic device (101) in a situation where the product is displayed in the exhibition space. In operation 612, the processor (120) can confirm the input of a database (DB) for the product. For example, the electronic device (101) may have stored product list information (e.g., product code information, product name, and / or a product database (DB, database)) in the memory (130).

[0126] In operation 613, the processor (120) may extract marketing insight elements (e.g., content information corresponding to a product) based on the product-related video in operation 611 and the product database in operation 612. For example, the processor (120) may extract at least one content information (e.g., marketing insight elements) from among various pieces of information (e.g., background information, seasonal information, weather information, object information, phrase information (e.g., expression information), promotional information, and / or action information) based on an advertisement video of a specific product. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may apply an AI-related model (e.g., artificial intelligence-related model) when extracting marketing insight elements. For example, the AI-related model may extract content information (e.g., key elements) that is relatively highly related to an exhibition theme (e.g., exhibition space) or that reflects points set by a user, based on the product-related video and the product database. The AI-related model may also extract the content information based on an extraction history in which the content information was previously extracted.

[0127] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may be operatively or functionally connected to an external electronic device (301), and may use a first camera of the external electronic device (301) (e.g., the first camera (381) of FIG. 3, a camera that photographs an indoor space (e.g., an exhibition space)) to check an exhibition space (e.g., a store exhibition space, a space where products are displayed) photographed. In operation 614, the processor (320) of the external electronic device (301) may sense and analyze the store exhibition space. The external electronic device (301) may provide analysis result information on the store exhibition space (e.g., the size and shape of the exhibition space) to the electronic device (101).

[0128] In operation 615, the processor (120) may generate first recommended content comprised of physical elements corresponding to products and items related to the products within the exhibition space. For example, the processor (120) may select physical elements corresponding to products to be displayed in the exhibition space and items related to the products, and may generate first recommended content including at least one of the selected physical elements. The processor (120) may determine the arrangement structure and arrangement form of the products and items by considering the size and shape of the exhibition space, and may generate first recommended content tailored to the determined arrangement structure and arrangement form.

[0129] In operation 616, the processor (120) may display the first recommended content via a display (e.g., the display (160) of FIG. 3) and confirm the user's decision (e.g., the first result value) regarding the first recommended content. For example, the user may decide whether to actually configure the exhibition space based on the first recommended content. If the user accepts the first recommended content, the actual exhibition space may be configured with products and goods in operation 617. Operation 617 may include actions performed by the user in the actual exhibition space.

[0130] In operation 617, the processor (120) can confirm that an actual exhibition space (e.g., a real space) is installed and configured based on the primary result value.

[0131] In operation 618, the processor (120) may use the first camera (381) of the external electronic device (301) to sense and analyze a store display space (e.g., an actual display space) in which physical elements (e.g., products and items related to the products) are installed. For example, the processor (120) may analyze the arrangement structure and arrangement form of the physical elements based on the first recommended content, and may check the display status of the products in the display space.

[0132] In operation 619, the processor (120) may generate second recommended content (e.g., virtual elements) suitable for a space (e.g., an actual exhibition space) in which physical elements are installed. For example, the processor (120) may generate virtual effects (e.g., seasonal effects, color effects, and / or highlight effects) based on the marketing insight elements (e.g., content information) and the first recommended content in operation 613, and may generate second recommended content in which at least a portion of the virtual effects are reflected. For example, the second recommended content may include a visual effect image (e.g., a virtual effect) that maximizes the advertising effect according to an image (e.g., an advertisement video for a product) based on the content information and the first recommended content. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate second recommended content including a virtual effect that is displayed in harmony with the first recommended content, taking into account the relevance with the first recommended content. For example, the second recommended content may include recommendation information that guides a user to use a visual effect using an external electronic device (301). Based on the second recommended content in Action 619, you can decide whether to reflect visual effects in the exhibition space.

[0133] If it is decided to reflect the second recommended content, in operation 620, the processor (320) of the external electronic device (301) may display at least one of the first recommended content and the second recommended content through a transparent display (e.g., the transparent display (360) of FIG. 3). For example, the processor (320) of the external electronic device (301) may display at least a portion of the first recommended content and / or at least a portion of the second recommended content in an integrated manner, or may display them individually. The processor (320) may output at least a portion of the first recommended content and the second recommended content through the transparent display (360).

[0134] FIG. 6B illustrates a process for generating third recommended content in response to changes in an external object. FIG. 6B can be understood as a subsequent operation of FIG. 6A. Operation 603 of FIG. 6B may be performed by the electronic device (101), and operation 604 may be performed by the external electronic device (301).

[0135] Referring to FIG. 6B, in operation 621, the processor (320) of the external electronic device (301) can detect a change in an external object using a first camera (e.g., the first camera (381) of FIG. 3) and a second camera (382) (e.g., the second camera (382) of FIG. 3). For example, the external electronic device (301) can use the first camera (381) to periodically or irregularly photograph an indoor space (e.g., an exhibition space, an actual exhibition space), and can detect a change in the arrangement structure and arrangement form of products and / or items placed in the indoor space. The external electronic device (301) can confirm the position of a product placed in the indoor space and the position of an item related to the product at a first point in time, and can confirm the position of a product placed in the indoor space and the position of an item related to the product at a second point in time that is different from the first point in time. When the location of a product or item changes, the external electronic device (301) can determine that an external object in an indoor space has changed. For another example, the external electronic device (301) can use the second camera (382) to detect the presence and movement of a customer (e.g., an external object) in an outdoor space. The external electronic device (301) can use the second camera (382) to determine whether a customer approaches within a set distance (e.g., an outdoor space) and whether the customer remains in the outdoor space for a set period of time. If the customer remains in the outdoor space for a set period of time, the external electronic device (301) can determine that an external object in the outdoor space has changed.

[0136] In operation 622, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) may generate third recommended content (e.g., user effects) based on situations in indoor spaces (e.g., exhibition spaces, actual exhibition spaces) and outdoor spaces (e.g., detecting changes in external objects). For example, the third recommended content may include different recommended content from the first recommended content, with a partially changed arrangement of products and goods. For another example, the third recommended content may include a virtual effect that is at least partially changed from the second recommended content. The third recommended content may include a visual effect image that reflects changes in external objects.

[0137] In operation 623, the processor (320) of the external electronic device (301) can display third recommended content generated by reflecting the user effect through the transparent display (360).

[0138] FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which first recommended content is generated for displaying a specific product according to one embodiment of the present disclosure and the first recommended content is provided to a store manager.

[0139] The electronic device (101) of FIG. 7 may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include at least partially similar components to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1. Operation 701 of FIG. 7 may be performed by the electronic device (101).

[0140] The external electronic device (301) of FIG. 7 may be at least partially similar to the other electronic devices (102, 104) of FIG. 1, or may further include other embodiments of the other electronic devices (102, 104). In one embodiment, the other electronic devices (102, 104) may include at least partially similar components to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1. The external electronic device (301) may include a transparent display device implemented with a transparent material. Operation 702 of FIG. 7 may be performed by the external electronic device (301).

[0141] Referring to FIG. 7, the operation 701 performed by the electronic device (101) can be divided into operations to which an AI-related model (e.g., an artificial intelligence-related model) is applied and operations to which an AI-related model is relatively not applied. For example, operations 711, 716, 718, and 720 may be operations to which an AI-related model (e.g., an artificial intelligence-related model) is applied.

[0142] In operation 711, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) may extract marketing insight elements (e.g., content information corresponding to the product) based on a video sequence of a product-related video (e.g., an advertising video). The processor (120) may extract content information about a product advertisement by applying an AI-related model to the product-related video.

[0143] In operation 712, the processor (120) may display the marketing insight elements via the display (160). For example, the processor (120) may provide a user with list information listing the extracted marketing insight elements.

[0144] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may be operatively or functionally connected to an external electronic device (301), and may use a first camera of the external electronic device (301) (e.g., the first camera (381) of FIG. 3, a camera that photographs an indoor space (e.g., an exhibition space)) to check an exhibition space (e.g., a store exhibition space, a space where products are displayed) photographed. In operation 713, the external electronic device (301) may transmit sensed and analyzed data about the store exhibition space to the electronic device (101).

[0145] In operation 714, the processor (120) can display sensing / analysis data for the store display space through the display (160).

[0146] In operation 715, the processor (120) may specify a basic theme and select an effect based on user input. For example, the processor (120) may determine the product layout or reflect a visual effect related to the product based on a user's (e.g., store manager) selection.

[0147] In operation 716, the processor (120) may generate a plurality of images including interior and product fixtures. For example, the processor (120) may provide the user with a plurality of images that take into account the size and shape of the exhibition space. In operation 716, the electronic device (101) may apply an AI-related model to generate the plurality of images.

[0148] In operation 717, the processor (120) may generate and display an image containing physical elements and products, and confirm a user's selection. For example, the processor (120) may display an image containing physical elements corresponding to a product and an article related to the product through the display (160), and confirm a user's selection of the image. The processor (120) may confirm the product and article selected by the user from among the list of product and article information.

[0149] In operation 718, the processor (120) may generate multiple videos for themes and effects that include interior and product fixing elements. For example, the processor (120) may generate a video reflecting the theme and effects selected by the user in operation 715 based on the products and items selected in operation 717. In operation 718, the electronic device (101) may apply an AI-related model to generate multiple videos.

[0150] In operation 719, the processor (120) may display a video of a promotional theme and effect, including physical elements and products, and confirm the user's selection. For example, the processor (120) may display a video corresponding to a product and related items (e.g., a video reflecting the theme and effect) through the display (160) and confirm the user's selection of the video. The processor (120) may confirm a video selected by the user from among multiple videos generated in relation to the product and items.

[0151] In operation 723, the electronic device (101) can generate virtual elements (e.g., virtual effects, visual effects) and real elements (e.g., products, images related to products) by distinguishing between them. Operation 723 can include operations 715 to 719. For example, in operations 715 to 717, the processor (120) can provide the user with real elements corresponding to products and goods, and can confirm the real elements selected by the user. For example, in operations 718 and 719, the processor (120) can provide the user with virtual elements (e.g., visual effects) corresponding to products and goods, and can confirm the virtual elements selected by the user.

[0152] In operation 720, the processor (120) may store the current exhibition space and generated content in the memory (130). For example, the processor (120) may store the arrangement structure of products (e.g., physical elements) and visual effects (e.g., virtual elements) related to the products, determined by the user, within the exhibition space in the memory (130). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may utilize the information stored in the memory (130) in a situation where an AI-related model is applied. The processor (120) may store a selection history (e.g., history information) for the physical elements and virtual elements, and may utilize the selection history when generating recommended content.

[0153] In operation 721, the processor (120) may generate a real-time guide (e.g., first recommended content) for interior design and product installation. For example, the processor (120) may determine the arrangement structure and arrangement form of products and goods by considering the size and shape of the exhibition space, and may generate first recommended content tailored to the determined arrangement structure and arrangement form. The processor (120) may display the first recommended content through the display (160). The electronic device (101) may provide the first recommended content (e.g., real-time guide related to product installation) to an external electronic device (301) (e.g., a transparent display device), and may at least partially control the external electronic device (301) so that the first recommended content is displayed through the transparent display (360) of the external electronic device (301).

[0154] In operation 722, the external electronic device (301) can output first recommended content (e.g., real-time guide related to product installation) through the transparent display (360).

[0155] FIG. 8A is an exemplary diagram illustrating content information extracted based on a product image and product list information according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8B is an exemplary diagram illustrating first recommended content indicating an arrangement of physical elements corresponding to a product based on content information and an exhibition space according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8C is an exemplary diagram illustrating second recommended content indicating virtual elements related to a product based on content information and the first recommended content according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8D is an exemplary diagram illustrating an arrangement of products in an exhibition space based on the first recommended content and the second recommended content according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0156] The electronic device (101) of FIGS. 8A and 8D may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include at least partially similar components to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1.

[0157] Referring to FIG. 8A, the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) may extract marketing insight elements (811) (e.g., content information corresponding to the product) based on a product-related video (e.g., an advertising video) and a product database (DB). For example, the marketing insight elements (811) may include at least one of a product's promotional theme, a main scene (usage scene), a frequently used companion product, a brand identity, product and category information of the product, and / or a product name.

For example, the virtual element window (830) may include a “virtual element configuration” (871) in which a plurality of virtual elements (e.g., visual effects) are listed, and a “layout” (872) generated based on the plurality of physical elements. For example, the “virtual element configuration” (871) may include at least one virtual element in which visual effects (831, 832, 833) related to the product (821) are listed. For example, the “layout” (872) may include second recommended contents (834, 835, 836) generated based on the virtual elements included in the “virtual element configuration” (871). The second recommended content (834, 835, 836) may be displayed in a form that reflects visual effects based on the first recommended content, and a description of each visual effect may be displayed together. For example, the virtual element window (830) may include a regeneration button (837) for regenerating “virtual element configuration” (871) and “layout” (872). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate a virtual element window (830) that provides guide information when a user (e.g., a store manager) applies visual effects to products placed in an exhibition space. According to one embodiment, by providing the virtual element window (830) to the user, convenience may be improved as the user maximizes the advertising effect for the product.

[0161] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can be configured to distinguish between a real element window (820) corresponding to a real element and a virtual element window (830) corresponding to a virtual element. The electronic device (101) can distinguish between the real element and the virtual element and can individually modify and change them.

[0162] Referring to FIG. 8D, the processor (120) may generate a recommendation content window (840) including a product-related image and recommendation content (841) generated based on the product, and may display the recommendation content window (840) through the display (160).
