Image frame processing method and an electronic device supporting same

An image frame processing method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving a first image frame from an external electronic device through a communication circuit of the electronic device;
• displaying the received first image frame through a display of the electronic device;
• receiving a first user input through an input device of the electronic device;
• predicting a second user input based on the first image frame and the first user input;
• generating a prediction input event corresponding to the second user input;
• transmitting information on the prediction input event to the external electronic device through the communication circuit;
• receiving a second image frame according to the prediction input event from the external electronic device through the communication circuit;
• and
• displaying the second image frame by the display,
• wherein, if a third user input consecutive to the first user input and corresponding to the predicted second user input is received, the displaying of the received second image frame comprises displaying the received second image frame through the display.

An electronic device comprising:

• an input device;
• a display;
• a communication circuit;
• at least one processor operatively connected to the input device, the display and the communication circuit and;
• a memory storing instructions,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
• receive a first image frame from an external electronic device through the communication circuit;
• display the received first image frame through the display;
• receive a first user input through the input device;
• predict a second user input based on the received first image frame and the received first user input;
• generate a prediction input event corresponding to the predicted second user input;
• generate a prediction image frame based on the generated prediction input event;
• and
• display the prediction image frame through the display,
• wherein, if a third user input consecutive to the first user input and corresponding to the predicted second user input is received, the processor is configured to display the prediction image frame.
