Electronic device and method for continuously reproducing multimedia content in external electronic device

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• at least one communication circuitry;
• and
• at least one processor configured to, when executing the instructions:
• reproduce multimedia content in the electronic device;
• after initiation of the reproduction of the multimedia content in the electronic device, identify, through the at least one communication circuitry, whether the electronic device is connectable with an external electronic device interlocked with the electronic device;
• send, to the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuitry, a request message requesting the external electronic device to provide a notification indicating that the external electronic device is capable of continuously reproducing the multimedia content from a time at which reproduction of the multimedia content has been progressed in the electronic device, based on identifying whether the electronic device is connectable with the external electronic device interlocked with the electronic device;
• receive a response message responsive to the request message from the external electronic device through the at least one communication circuitry;
• identify whether the external electronic device is authorized to continuously reproduce the multimedia content in the response message;
• in response to identifying that the external electronic device is authorized to continuously reproduce the multimedia content based on a response to the visual object, display, through the at least one display of the external electronic device, a user interface comprising at least one executable object that controls the multimedia content which is being continuously reproduced in the external electronic device,
• receive a user input to the at least one executable object;
• and
• control the multimedia content which is being continuously reproduced in the external electronic device based on the user input.
