Description

Electronic Device and Method for Recommending Files Therep {ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOMMENDING FILES THEREPF} This document relates to electronic devices, and, for example, to a method of recommending files on an electronic device. Electronic devices can store various files such as documents, images, videos, and music. When a user wishes to select a specific file on an electronic device, they can launch a picker provided by a running application or file manager, and the picker can present a list of multiple files for the user to select. For example, when the picker is launched, the first screen may display recently saved or modified files, files of a specific format, or the storage location where the files are stored (e.g., internal storage, SD card, cloud storage). The picker can provide files in a hierarchical form such as a folder structure, and the user can select a file to display or share through the file name or thumbnail. Electronic devices can store various files, and with a standard picker, it may take a long time and effort for a user to select the desired file from the stored files. An electronic device according to the present disclosure (or specification, invention) may include a display, a memory, and at least one processor operatively connected to the display and the memory. According to one embodiment, the memory may be executed by at least one processor, and when executed, the electronic device may store instructions for detecting an event that triggers a file selection in an application being executed, generating a prompt including a request for context information related to data provided on the application in response to the event, transmitting the generated prompt to an AI model, obtaining context information corresponding to the prompt from the AI model, searching for at least one file based on the context information, and configuring a file selection interface capable of selecting at least one of the searched at least one file, and providing the information through the display. A file recommendation method for an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present document may include: an operation of identifying an event that triggers a file selection in a running application; an operation of generating a prompt including a request for context information related to data provided on the application in response to the event; an operation of transmitting the generated prompt to an AI model; an operation of obtaining context information corresponding to the prompt from the AI model; an operation of searching for at least one file based on the context information; and an operation of configuring and providing a file selection interface capable of selecting at least one of the searched at least one file. A computer-readable non-transient recording medium according to various embodiments of the present document may store instructions for performing operations such as identifying an event that triggers a file selection in a running application, generating a prompt including a request for context information related to data provided on the application in response to the event, transmitting the generated prompt to an AI model, obtaining context information corresponding to the prompt from the AI model, searching for at least one file based on the context information, and configuring and providing a file selection interface capable of selecting at least one of the searched at least one file. According to various embodiments of the present document, an electronic device and a file recommendation method for the electronic device can be provided, which utilize AI technology to understand the user's situation and, accordingly, enable the user to quickly select the desired file.
