Method and electronic device for sending and receiving data

A first electronic device for communicating with a second electronic device, the first electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a display;
• at least one transceiver;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one program stored in the memory and configured for execution by the at least one processor, wherein the at least one program comprises instructions for:
• detecting a communication event with the second electronic device,
• upon detecting the communication event, if the first electronic device does not communicate with the second electronic device using an in-band communication, transmitting, to the second electronic device, application information for a first application running on the first electronic device and first information for the in-band communication using an out-of-band communication,
• receiving, from the second electronic device, application information for a second application running on the second electronic device and second information for the in-band connecting using the out-of-band communication,
• determining an application to be run on the first electronic device by comparing an application identifier included in each of the application information for the first application and the application information for the second application, and
• displaying one of an application execution screen for the first application and another application execution screen for the second application according to result of comparing user interface (UI) depth information included in each of the application information for the first application and the application information for the second application, the UI depth information indicating progress of an application execution screen for an application executed in each of the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
