Configuration setting method and device

A server comprising:

• a communication module configured to communicate with an electronic device;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• store an application list in the memory;
• receive operating information of each of a plurality of external electronic devices from the plurality of external electronic devices including the electronic device;
• generate pieces of configuration setting information based on the operating information;
• store the pieces of configuration setting information in the memory;
• receive identification information of an application, which is installed or executed in the electronic device, from the electronic device through the communication module;
• and
• transmit the pieces of configuration setting information corresponding to the identification information to the electronic device,
• wherein the pieces of configuration setting information comprise:
• first configuration setting information corresponding to a first execution status of the application;
• and
• second configuration setting information corresponding to a second execution status of the application, and
• wherein at least one of the first or second configuration setting information is verified, and, when a difference between the verified configuration setting information and current configuration setting information is greater than or equal to a specified reference value, an execution configuration of the application is gradually changed for a specified time period.

A configuration setting method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• when an application is installed or executed, transmitting identification information of the application to a server through a communication module;
• receiving pieces of configuration setting information corresponding to the identification information from the server;
• verifying an execution status of the application based on execution status information received from the application;
• selecting configuration setting information that corresponds to the execution status of the application from among the pieces of configuration setting information;
• and
• changing an execution configuration of the application based on the selected configuration setting information, wherein the changing of the execution configuration of the application comprises:
• comparing the selected configuration setting information with current configuration setting information;
• and
• when a difference between the selected configuration setting information and the current configuration setting information is greater than or equal to a specified reference value, gradually changing the execution configuration of the application for a specified time period.
