Abstract
A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting an execution request of an application installed in the electronic device, determining, in response to the execution request, whether an external device connected to the electronic device has a replacement application, and transmitting an execution request of the replacement application to the external device if the external device is determined to have the replacement application.
Claims18
A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a connection between the electronic device and an external device;
- detecting an external output request for outputting information associated with executed application in the electronic device to a display of the connected external device;
- determining, in response to the external output request and the detected connection, whether the external device connected to the electronic device has a replacement application;
- transmitting an execution request of the replacement application to the external device when it is determined that the external device has the replacement application;
- and
- receiving a message indicating that the external device does not have the replacement application when it is determined that the external device does not have the replacement application and transmitting a result according to the execution of the application to the external device in response to the receiving the message,
- wherein the execution request causes the external device to execute the replacement application in response to the execution request and to display the information by the execution of the replacement application.

A method of operating an electronic device having applications installed therein, the method comprising:
- detecting a connection with an external device;
- receiving, by the electronic device, an external output request and execution information from the external device, the execution information associated with an executed application in the external device;
- selecting at least one application corresponding to the execution information in response to the external output request, when the application corresponding to the execution information is available;
- executing the selected at least one application based on the execution information, when the application corresponding to the execution information is available;
- displaying the execution information by the execution of the selected at least one application, when the application corresponding to the execution information is executed;
- transmitting to the external device a message indicating that the electronic device does not have the application corresponding to the execution available, when the application corresponding to the execution information is not available;
- and
- receiving a result of the executed application from the external device.
5 more elements
An electronic device comprising:
- an input device;
- a memory configured to store an application;
- a connector configured to connect with an external device;
- and
- at least one processor configured to control the memory and the connector,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- detect a connection with the external device,
- detect an execution request for outputting information associated with an executed application in the electronic device to a display of the connected external device from the input device,
- determine, in response to the execution request, whether the external device has a replacement application,
- control to the connector to transmit an execution request of the replacement application to the external device when it is determined that the external device has the replacement application, and
- receive a message indicating that the external device does not have the replacement application when it is determined that the external device does not have the replacement application and transmit a result according to the execution of the application to the external device in response to the receive the message,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the replacement application in response to the execution request and to display the information by the execution of the replacement application.
