Apparatus and method for processing query

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a protected data memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, configured to store information associated with a user;
• and
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute:
• obtaining a query from the user,
• identifying at least one word associated with the user, from the query,
• identifying that the query relates to protected data of the user stored in a protected data memory,
• accessing at least a part of the protected data in the protected data memory using an authentication code required for accessing the protected data,
• obtaining a result of a first search executed on the at least the part of the protected data based on the at least one word, the result comprising another at least one word obtained based on the at least one word,
• changing the query, based on the result of the first search, the change comprising changing the at least one word with the other at least one word based on the result of the first search, and
• providing a result of a second search executed on at least a part of a set of public data based on the changed query,
• wherein the result of the first search includes a plurality of items;
• and
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to change the query based on an item selected out of the plurality of items, based on an input of the user.

A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by at least one processor, a query from a user;
• obtaining, by the at least one processor, a result of a first search that executes the query with respect to a set of public data;
• identifying, by the at least one processor, at least one word associated with the user from the query, using the at least one processor;
• identifying, by the at least one processor, that the query relates to protected data of the user stored in a protected data memory;
• accessing, by the at least one processor, at least a part of the protected data in the protected data memory using an authentication code required for accessing the protected data;
• obtaining, by the at least one processor, a result of a second search executed on the at least the part of the protected data based on the at least one word, the result of the second search comprising another at least one word obtained based on the at least one word;
• and
• changing, by the at least one processor, the at least one word with the other at least one word, based on the result of the second search,
• wherein the result of the first search includes a plurality of items;
• and
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to change the query based on an item selected out of the plurality of items, based on an input of the user.

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a protected data memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, configured to store information associated with a user of the electronic device;
• and
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute:
• obtaining a query from the user,
• obtaining a result of a first search that executes the query with respect to a set of public data,

• identifying that the query relates to protected data of the user stored in a protected data memory,
• accessing at least a part of the protected data in the protected data memory using an authentication code required for accessing the protected data,
• obtaining a result of a second search executed on the at least the part of the protected data based on the at least one word, the result comprising another at least one word obtained based on the at least one word, and
• changing the at least one word with the other at least one word associated with the user in the query, based on the result of the second search,
• wherein the result of the first search includes a plurality of items;
• and
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to change the query based on an item selected out of the plurality of items, based on an input of the user.
