## Abstract

An operating method of an electronic device includes detecting a reference timing point and a reference location within text broadcasting data and a sports play video, respectively, by mapping the text broadcasting data and the sports play video based on events occurring during sports play, detecting a target location from the reference location in the sports play video using a time interval between the reference timing point and target timing point within the text broadcasting data, and providing a target video based on the target location within the sports play video.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An operating method of an electronic device, comprising:
detecting a reference timing point with respect to text broadcasting data and detecting a reference location with respect to a sports play video, respectively, by mapping the text broadcasting data and the sports play video based on events occurring during sports play, wherein the reference timing point is a timing point within a timeline of the text broadcasting data, and the reference location is a time location within a timeline of the sports play video, wherein the detecting of the reference timing point and the reference location comprises:
identifying occurrence time locations of a plurality of events in the sports play video, respectively, by analyzing the sports play video;
identifying motion sections of predetermined motions between the occurrence time locations in the sports play video, respectively, by recognizing the predetermined motions in the sports play video;
identifying actual timing points of the events within the timeline of the text broadcasting data;
mapping the actual timing points to the occurrence time locations of the events within the timeline of the text broadcasting data, respectively;
detecting an actual timing point of a first event, among the events, as the reference timing point; and
detecting the reference location within the timeline of the sports play video by applying each of time intervals between the reference timing point and each of the actual timing points of remaining events among the events to each timing point of the motion sections between the occurrence time locations in the sports play video;
detecting a plurality of target occurrence time locations of target events among events within the timeline of the sports play video from the reference location within the timeline of the sports play video by applying a time interval associated with each of the target events to the reference location, wherein the time interval associated with each of the target events is an amount of time between the reference timing point and an actual timing point of each of the target events within the timeline of text broadcasting data; and
providing a target video based on the target occurrence time locations of the target events within the timeline of the sports play video.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The operating method of claim 1, further comprising:
confirming the occurrence time locations of events in the sports play video, respectively, by recognizing a score board of the sports play video as the analysis of the sports play video.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The operating method of claim 2, wherein the confirming of the occurrence time locations comprises:
recognizing the score board in the sports play video;
identifying a predetermined index within the score board;
recognizing an event count based on a location of the index within the score board; and
confirming the occurrence time location of each event when the event count is changed.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The operating method of claim 1, wherein the providing of the target video comprises providing a combined target video by combining the target video with at least another target video.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The operating method of claim 1, wherein:
the sports play is baseball,
the events comprise pitching,
the target video comprise an individual batter's box video,
the motions comprise a pitching motion, and
a starting point of the target video indicates a starting position of a first pitch motion in an individual batter's box in the sports play video.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The operating method of claim 4, wherein:
the sports play is soccer,
the events comprise a score, and
the target video comprises an individual score video or a score collection video.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing a program for executing the operating method of an electronic device as defined in claim 1.

### Claim 8

An electronic device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute at least one instruction stored in the memory,
wherein the processor is configured to:
detect a reference timing point with respect to text broadcasting data and detect a reference location with respect to a sports play video, respectively, by mapping the text broadcasting data and the sports play video based on events occurring during sports play, wherein the reference timing point is a timing point within a timeline of the text broadcasting data, and the reference location is a time location within a timeline of the sports play video,
identify occurrence time locations of a plurality of events in the sports play video, respectively, by analyzing the sports play video;
identify motion sections of predetermined motions between the occurrence time locations in the sports play video, respectively, by recognizing the predetermined motions in the sports play video;
identify actual timing points of the events within the timeline of the text broadcasting data;
map the actual timing points to the occurrence time locations of the events within the timeline of the text broadcasting data, respectively;
detect an actual timing point of a first event, among the events, as the reference timing point;
detect the reference location within the timeline of the sports play video by applying each of time intervals between the reference timing point and each of the actual timing points of remaining events among the events to each timing point of the motion sections between the occurrence time locations in the sports play video; and
detect a plurality of target occurrence time locations of a plurality of target events among the events within the timeline of the sports play video from the reference location in the sports play video by applying a time interval associated with each of the target events to the reference location, wherein the time interval associated with each of the target events is an amount of time between the reference timing point and an actual timing point of each of the target events within the timeline of the text broadcasting data, and
provide a target video based on the target occurrence time locations of the target events within the timeline of the sports play video.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:
recognize the score board in the sports play video,
identify a predetermined index within the score board,
recognize an event count based on a location of the index within the score board, and
confirm the occurrence time location of each event when the event count is changed.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is configured to provide a combined target video by combining the target video with at least another target video.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein:
the sports play is baseball,
the events comprise pitching,
the target video comprise an individual batter's box video,
the motions comprise a pitching motion, and
a starting point of the target video indicates a starting position of a first pitch motion in an individual batter's box in the sports play video.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)
