The electronic device includes a communication interface for communicating with an external device, an input interface for receiving a user input, a memory storing at least one bookmark information about bookmarked contents, an output interface including at least one of a display and a speaker, and a processor electrically connected with the communication interface, the input interface, the memory, and the output interface. In addition, various embodiments identified through the specification are possible. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic device, comprising: a communication interface configured to communicate with a first external device; an input interface configured to receive an input; a memory storing at least one bookmark information including an image for broadcasting content; an output interface configured to include a display; and a processor electrically connected with the communication interface, the input interface, the memory, and the output interface, wherein the processor is configured to: receive a first input for bookmarking via the input interface while a content is output via the output interface, store an image of the content output before or after a specified time with respect to a time when the first input for bookmarking is received, as bookmark information, display a user interface (UI) including at least one bookmark information, and when a bookmark information is selected from the UI based on a second input received via the input interface, obtain related information associated with an image corresponding to the selected bookmark information by providing the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information to the first external device, and display the related information via the output interface by receiving the related information from the first external device, wherein the related information includes at least one of product information associated with at least one product included in the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information and place information associated with a place included in the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information, wherein the product information includes at least one of a product name, a manufacturer or a price about the at least one product included in the image, and wherein the place information includes at least one of local information and a place name about the at least one place included in the image. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the content from a second external device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display channel information of a channel broadcasting the content including the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to display the channel information with the related information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to display the channel information with an electronic program guide including a list of channels. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, when an input for selecting channel information is received, display the broadcasting content corresponding to the selected channel information. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display information associated with a service provider for the broadcasting content corresponding to the selected bookmark information. ### Claim 8 A control method of an electronic device, the method comprising: receiving a first input for bookmarking while a content is output; storing an image of the content output before or after a specified time with respect to a time when the first input for bookmarking is received, as bookmark information; displaying a user interface (UI) including at least one bookmark information, wherein the at least one bookmark information includes an image for broadcasting content; when a bookmark information is selected from the UI based on a second input, obtaining related information associated with an image included in the selected bookmark information by providing the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information to a first external device; and displaying the related information by receiving the related information from the first external device, wherein the related information includes at least one of product information associated with at least one product included in the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information and place information associated with a place included in the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information, wherein the product information includes at least one of a product name, a manufacturer or a price about the at least one product included in the image, and wherein the place information includes at least one of local information and a place name about the at least one place included in the image. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: receiving the content from a second external device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: displaying channel information of a channel broadcasting the content including the image corresponding to the selected bookmark information. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: displaying the channel information with the related information. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: displaying the channel information with an electronic program guide including a list of channels. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: when an input for selecting channel information is received, displaying the broadcasting content corresponding the selected channel information. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: displaying information associated with a service provider for the broadcasting content corresponding to the selected bookmark information.
