Abstract
An apparatus and method for sharing application program in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display for displaying information, a communication interface for sending and receiving signals, and a processor for creating a sub application program comprising at least one of user interface components of an application program installed on the electronic device, and controlling to send the sub application program to an external electronic device through the communication interface.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor, by executing the instructions, being configured to:
- generate, based on display information of an external electronic device, a sub application program comprising at least one of a plurality of user interface components of an application program installed on the electronic device;
- send the sub application program to the external electronic device;
- identify, in response to receiving a request transmitted from the external electronic device, a state of the electronic device, wherein the request is transmitted from the external electronic device in response to receiving an input on a user interface of the sub application program being displayed in the external electronic device;
- change, in response to identifying the state corresponds to an idle mode or a sleep mode, the state of the electronic device to an activation mode for enabling execution of the application program;
- execute, in response to completion of the changing of the state, the application program with the received request;
- and
- transmit, in response to identifying a result of the execution of the application with the received request, information regarding the identified result to the external electronic device.
