Abstract
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to provide a connection to another electronic apparatus; a storage configured to store a plurality of operating systems, each of the plurality of operating systems being different from each other; and a processor configured to identify the another electronic apparatus based on the electronic apparatus being connected to the another electronic apparatus, and to operate an operating system corresponding to the identified another electronic apparatus from among the plurality of stored operating systems.
Claims15
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- a communicator comprising communication circuitry;
- a storage storing a plurality of operating systems, each of the plurality of operating systems being different from each other;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect a connection between the electronic apparatus and an external apparatus through the communicator,
- based on the connection between the electronic apparatus and the external apparatus being detected, identify a type of the external apparatus,
- operate an operating system corresponding to the identified type of the external apparatus, from among the plurality of stored operating systems in the storage, and
- control the display to display an image corresponding to an operation screen of the operated operating system.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to provide a connection to an external apparatus;
- a storage configured to store a plurality of operating systems, each of the plurality of operating systems being different from each other;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- based on a connection between the electronic apparatus and the external apparatus being detected, control a display to display a user interface (UI) comprising a list of the plurality of stored operating systems, and
- based on a user input for selecting an operating system from among the plurality of stored operating systems being received through the UI, operate the selected operating system.
A control method of an electronic apparatus including a display, a communicator comprising communication circuitry and a storage storing a plurality of operating systems, each of the plurality of operating systems being different from each other, the method comprising:
- detecting a connection through the communicator between the electronic apparatus and an external apparatus;
- based on the connection between the electronic apparatus and the external apparatus being detected, identifying a type of external apparatus;
- operating an operating system corresponding to the identified type of the external apparatus, from among the plurality of different pre-stored operating systems in the storage;
- and
- controlling the display to display an image corresponding to an operation screen of the operated operating system.
