Electronic device for installing application and method of controlling same

A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising;

• installing a first application operating only in a first environment;
• installing a second application selectively operating in the first environment or a second environment;
• granting access to the first application to first data, the first data being generated while the second application operates in the first environment;
• denying access to the first application to second data, the second data being generated while the second application operates in the second environment;
• granting access to the second application to third data, the third data being generated while the first application operates in the first environment;
• and
• allocating the second application to at least the second environment without a user's input when the second application is installed.

A method of controlling an electronic device for producing an application, the method comprising:

• acquiring an application identifier and a security key;
• transmitting the application identifier and the security key to a security server;
• producing an application including metadata indicating whether the application is to be executed in a sandbox;
• and
• transmitting the application and the security key to an application market.

An electronic device comprising:

• a communication module;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions to instruct the processor to:
• provide a first area in which at least one application program can operate and a second area having an operation environment which is at least partially different from the first area,
• access an application market provided by an external service through the communication module at least partially in response to a first input from a user in the first area,
• download a selected first application from the application market at least partially in response to a second input from the user in the first area,
• install the downloaded first application in the electronic device, and
• allocate the downloaded first application to the second area without any input from the user.
