In one embodiment, when the paragraph structure of the text previously transmitted and received between the user and the receiver and the paragraph structure of the currently generated text are inconsistent, the controller 1360 may determine the text of the text previously transmitted and received between the user and the receiver. You can convert the paragraph structure of the currently generated text to match the paragraph structure. For example, if the email text paragraph structure that user A sent to recipient B is arranged in the order of summary after detailed description, and the paragraph structure of the currently generated text is arranged in order of summary after detailed description, the electronic device In operation 100, the paragraph structure of the currently generated text may be converted into a structure arranged after the summary and detailed description.

In an embodiment, the controller 1360 may convert the sentence structure of the currently generated text based on the receiver information. In one embodiment, the sentence structure may be an arrangement structure of words or clauses in one sentence. In one embodiment, the controller 1360 may check the sentence structure of the text previously transmitted and received between the user and the receiver. The controller 1360 may convert the sentence structure of the text according to the confirmed sentence structure. For example, when the currently generated text is composed of a general subject, an object, a descriptor, and the like, the controller 1360 indicates that the sentence structure of the text previously transmitted / received between the user and the receiver is a sentence structure composed of sections based on six principles. You can check it. For example, if the sentence structure of the currently generated text is "The meeting will take place in the first conference room at 3:00 pm today", the control unit 1360 may control "For today's meeting, the time is 3:00 pm". , and the location is the first conference room ".

In an embodiment, the controller 1360 may convert a term or the like of the currently generated text based on the receiver information. For example, the controller 1360 may convert a word, a clause, or a sentence in the currently generated text into a word, a clause, or a sentence having the same or similar meaning according to the information on the receiver. For example, when the end of the currently generated text includes "Lots of love", and the electronic device 100 confirms that the end of the text previously received from the receiver includes "yours lovingly". The controller 1360 may convert "Lots of love" into "yours lovingly". In another example, the controller 1360 may convert an etiquette representation of currently generated text based on information about the receiver, for example, the status of the receiver. For example, the controller 1360 may convert the currently generated text into a more polite expression when the receiver is in a higher position than the user or is an elder. For example, if the currently generated text is "Thank you", the electronic device 100 may convert the currently generated text into a polite expression such as "Thank you very much for your understanding and assistance". have. In another example, when the currently generated text is "Sorry to bother", the control unit 1360 may display the currently generated text as a courtesy expression (or an expression generally used in a manner with expression). You can convert the text with.

According to an embodiment, the controller 1360 may display the text portion of the generated text portion to be distinguished from other text portions that are not converted.
