An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
• and
• memory comprising one or more storage media storing instructions,
• wherein the instructions, when executed, individually or collectively, by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
• display, on the display, a screen generated based on data elements arranged in a hierarchical structure;
• receive an input to a text input portion in the displayed screen;
• based on the input, identify a first data element corresponding to the text input portion among the data elements arranged in the hierarchical structure;
• identify a second data element related to the first data element among the data elements arranged in the hierarchical structure;
• determine one or more recommended words related to one or more contents provided by the second data element;
• and
• display, on the display, a virtual keyboard comprising the one or more recommended words together with the text input portion of the screen.

A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a screen generated based on data elements arranged in a hierarchical structure;
• receiving an input to a text input portion in the displayed screen;
• based on the input, identifying a first data element corresponding to the text input portion among the data elements arranged in the hierarchical structure;
• identifying a second data element related to the first data element among the data elements arranged in the hierarchical structure;
• based on the second data element, determining a type of text to be input through the text input portion;
• and
• displaying, on the display, a virtual keyboard together with the text input portion of the screen according to the determined type of text.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs include instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device with a display, cause the electronic device to:

• display, on the display, a screen generated based on data elements arranged in a hierarchical structure;
• receive an input to a text input portion in the displayed screen;
• based on the input, identify a first data element corresponding to the text input portion among the data elements arranged in the hierarchical structure;
• identify a second data element related to the first data element among the data elements arranged in the hierarchical structure;
• based on the second data element, determine a type of text to be input through the text input portion;
• and
• display, on the display, a virtual keyboard together with the text input portion of the screen according to the determined type of text.
