Abstract
An operating method of an electronic device is provided. The method includes selecting a file generated by the electronic device or received from another electronic device and transmitting file information based on the file to a memory device through short range communication.
Claims20
A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- in response to detecting an input for a file generated by an application, displaying a user interface (UI) for the file, the UI comprising objects, wherein each of the objects is usable for performing a function of the file;
- if detecting an input for an object among the objects, transmitting, to a memory device, information regarding the file through short range communication in response to detecting that a distance between the electronic device and the memory device is within a reference distance;
- receiving, from the memory device, information comprising a file path for the file and information for identifying the electronic device through the short range communication;
- identifying the file path for the file and the information for identifying the electronic device based on the received information from the memory device;
- and
- if the file path for the file corresponds the information for identifying the electronic device, executing the file based on the information from the memory device,
- wherein the object is usable for transmitting the information to the memory device, and
- wherein the UI comprises a symbol identifying the memory device which stores the information regarding the file.

An electronic device comprising:
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one transceiver,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- in response to detecting an input for a file generated by an application, control to display a user interface (UI) for the file, the UI comprising objects, wherein each of the objects is usable for performing a function of the file,
- if detecting an input for an object among the objects, transmit, to a memory device, information regarding the file through short range communication by using the application in response to detecting that a distance between the electronic device and the memory device is within a reference distance;
- receive, from the memory device, information comprising a file path for the file and information for identifying the electronic device through the short range communication;
- identify the file path for the file and the information for identifying the electronic device based on the received information from the memory device;
- and
- if the file path for the file corresponds the information for identifying the electronic device, execute the file based on the information from the memory device,
- wherein the object is usable for transmitting the information to the memory device, and wherein the UI comprises a symbol identifying the memory device which stores the information regarding the file.
