Method of communicating with peripheral device in electronic device on which plurality of operating systems are driven, and the electronic device

A method of communication between an electronic device and a peripheral device in a host OS and a guest OS installed on the electronic device, comprising:

• switching from an operation screen of the host OS displayed on a screen of the electronic device to an operation screen of the guest OS;
• determining whether to switch from a first communication link to a second communication link to transmit and receive data between the electronic device and the peripheral device;
• packetizing, by the host OS, third data received from the guest OS based on the determination of whether to switch;
• and
• transmitting the packetized data to the peripheral device.

A method of communication between an electronic device and a peripheral device in a host OS and a guest OS installed on the electronic device, comprising:

• receiving, by the host OS, a request to search for peripheral devices from the guest OS;
• searching, by the host OS, for at least one peripheral device;
• extracting, by the host OS, a peripheral device capable of setting a communication link with the guest OS from at least one peripheral device among at least one found peripheral device;
• and
• transmitting, by the host OS, information on the extracted peripheral device to the guest OS.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display configured to switch from an operation screen of the host OS displayed on a screen of the electronic device to an operation screen of the guest OS;
• processing circuitry configured to control a guest OS and a host OS to determine whether to switch from a first communication link to a second communication link, and to packetize third data received from the guest OS based on the determination, the first communication link being set to transmit and receive data between the electronic device and the peripheral device;
• and
• communication circuitry configured to transmit data packetized by the host OS to the peripheral device.
