Abstract
A method for operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes identifying time information of at least one counterpart electronic device, displaying the time information of the counterpart electronic device when an application program for displaying time information is executed, when time change information of the counterpart electronic device is received, changing the time information of the counterpart electronic device according to the time change information, and displaying changed time information of the counterpart electronic device when the application program for displaying time information is executed.
Claims20
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- identifying time information of at least one counterpart electronic device;
- displaying the time information of the counterpart electronic device when an application program for displaying time information is executed;
- when time change information of the counterpart electronic device is received, changing the time information of the counterpart electronic device according to the time change information;
- and
- displaying changed time information of the counterpart electronic device when the application program for displaying time information is executed.
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- when a time sharing request signal is received from a counterpart electronic device, determining whether to share time with the counterpart electronic device;
- when sharing the time with the counterpart electronic device, transmitting time information to the counterpart electronic device;
- determining whether the time information of the electronic device is changed;
- and
- when the time information of the electronic device is changed, transmitting time change information of the electronic device to the counterpart electronic device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit;
- a display unit;
- and
- at least one processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- identify time information of a counterpart electronic device;
- display the time information of the counterpart electronic device when an application program for displaying time information is executed;
- when time change information of the counterpart electronic device is received, change the time information of the counterpart electronic device according to the time change information;
- and
- display changed time information of the counterpart electronic device when the application program for displaying time information is executed.
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit;
- a display unit;
- and
- at least one processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- when a time sharing request signal is received from a counterpart electronic device, determine whether to share time with the counterpart electronic device;
- when sharing the time with the counterpart electronic device, transmit time information to the counterpart electronic device;
- determine whether the time information of the electronic device is changed;
- and
- when the time information of the electronic device is changed, transmit time change information of the electronic device to the counterpart electronic device.
