Abstract
An electronic apparatus for filtering a plurality of messages, via a user interface including a filtering bar. A display is for displaying a plurality of messages, and an input is to request a filtering of the plurality of messages based on importance.
Claims17
A method of filtering a plurality of messages of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying the plurality of messages and a user interface, the user interface comprising a filtering bar and an indicator positioned on the filtering bar, wherein a position of the indicator on the filtering bar is indicative of a filtering level;
- based on an input for moving the indicator on the filtering bar being received, identifying a filtering level corresponding to a position of the moved indicator on the filtering bar;
- identifying an importance level for the plurality of messages, wherein the importance level for a respective message is identified based on at least a number of the plurality of messages, an occurrence frequency number of a specific word included in the plurality of messages, an occurrence frequency number of the specific word included in the respective message, a number of messages including a specific word from among the plurality of messages, and a time when the respective message is generated;
- obtaining at least one message from among the plurality of messages based on a number of messages selected according to the identified filtering level and a ranking information of the plurality of messages according to the importance level of the plurality of messages;
- and
- displaying the at least one obtained message.
