Claims21
A method for providing information by an electronic device, comprising:
- transmitting identification information of broadcasting content and feature information of the electronic device to a first external device;
- receiving, from the first external device, additional information related to the identification information and the feature information;
- and
- displaying the additional information together with the broadcasting content.
A method for providing information by an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving identification information of broadcasting content and feature information of a first external device from the first external device;
- acquiring at least one additional information item related to the identification information;
- selecting an additional information item having a targeting condition satisfying the feature information from among the at least one acquired additional information item;
- and
- transmitting the selected additional information item to the first external device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device;
- a extraction unit configured to extract a fingerprint from broadcasting content displayed or prepared to be displayed;
- a content recognition unit configured to check a fingerprint coinciding with the extracted fingerprint in a database and to acquire identification information of the broadcasting content corresponding to the checked fingerprint;
