Abstract
A method of managing content includes displaying first content executed by a first application and second content executed by a second application, receiving a user input for binding the first content to the second content, setting a relationship between the first content and the second content according to the user input, and displaying, when one of the first content and the second content is executed, presence of content bound to one of executed content.
Claims21
An electronic device for managing content, the electronic device comprising:
- a user interface configured to display first content executed by a first application and second content executed by a second application, and receive a user input for binding the first content to the second content,
- wherein a structure of the binding is determined based on the user input;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- set a relationship between the first content and the second content according to the user input,
- when the first content is executed, control the user interface to display presence of the second content bound to the executed first content, and
- control the user interface to reduce a size of the executed first content and display the executed first content on an area of a screen while displaying the bound second content on another area of the screen, wherein the first content and the second content are displayed according to the determined structure of the binding.
A method of managing content, performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying first content executed by a first application and second content executed by a second application;
- receiving a user input for binding the first content to the second content, wherein a structure of the binding is determined based on the user input;
- setting a relationship between the first content and the second content according to the user input;
- and
- displaying, when the first content is executed, presence of the second content bound to the executed first content;
- and
- reducing a size of the executed first content and displaying the executed first content on an area of a screen while displaying the bound second content on another area of the screen, wherein the first content and the second content are displayed according to the determined structure of the binding.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:
- display, by at least one processor, first content executed by a first application and second content executed by a second application;
- receive, by the at least one processor, a user input for binding the first content to the second content, wherein a structure of the binding is determined based on the user input;
- set, by the at least one processor, a relationship between the first content and the second content according to the user input;
- and
- display, by the at least one processor, when the first content is executed, presence of the second content bound to the executed first content;
- and
- reduce, by the at least one processor, a size of the executed first content and display the executed first content on an area of a screen while displaying the bound second content on another area of the screen,
- wherein the first content and the second content are displayed according to the determined structure of the binding.
