Abstract

An electronic device for executing various operating systems is provided. The electronic device includes first and second hardware devices, a first operating system (OS), a second OS different from the first OS, and a processor configured to control the first hardware device to process first data from a first program executed on the first OS, obtain a command for executing the second OS, generate a container for executing the second OS based on a kernel of the first OS in response to the command for executing the second OS, execute the second OS on the generated container, execute a second program on the second OS, obtain second data regarding the second program from the second OS via socket communication by a control application installed on the first OS, and control the second hardware device to process the second data regarding the second program based on the first OS using the installed control application.

Dependent claims

An electronic device, comprising:

a memory stores executable instructions;
a plurality of hardware devices;
and when the instructions execute causing at least one processor configured to:
operate a first operating system (OS),
operate a second OS while the first OS is operated, the second OS including a plurality of programs,
control a first part of the plurality of hardware devices to process first data from a first application executed based on the first OS, execute a second application based on the second OS,
obtain by a control application executed based on the first OS, at least part of second data regarding the second application from a first program corresponding to a first type of the at least part of the second data among the plurality of programs of the second OS, and at least another part of the second data from a second program corresponding to a second type of the at least another part of the second data among the plurality of programs of the second OS, and
control a second part of the plurality of hardware devices to process the second data regarding the second application, using the control application.
