[0072] FIG. 5a and / or 5b are flowcharts illustrating a process for synchronizing data between an electronic device and an external electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0073] In operation 501, according to one embodiment, a first external electronic device (e.g., the first external electronic device (120) of FIG. 1) may execute a synchronization application. According to one embodiment, the first external electronic device (120) may set a synchronization mode of the first external electronic device (120) to a data reception mode in the synchronization application. For example, the first external electronic device (120) may execute the synchronization application based on a user input. For example, the first external electronic device (120) may set a synchronization mode of the first external electronic device (120) to a data reception mode in the synchronization application based on a user input. For example, the data reception mode may correspond to a mode for receiving data stored in the electronic device (110) from the electronic device (110).

[0074] According to one embodiment, the first external electronic device (120), when set to a data reception mode in a synchronization application, may provide an interface operation guide that causes the electronic device (110) to transmit a signal including a data synchronization request. For example, the first external electronic device (120), when set to a data reception mode in a synchronization application, may provide a guide to instruct the electronic device (110) to perform a tap operation. For example, the first external electronic device (120), when set to a data reception mode in a synchronization application, may provide a guide to instruct the electronic device (110) to perform a shake operation within a specified distance. However, the interface operation guide for transmitting a signal including a data synchronization request is not limited to the above examples. The interface operation guide for transmitting a signal including a synchronization request may include a guide to perform any user input and / or operation, such as a user's gesture, touch input, or voice input.

[0075] In operation 503, according to one embodiment, the first external electronic device (120) may transmit a signal including a data synchronization request to the electronic device (110). For example, the signal including the data synchronization request may include a command to execute a synchronization application. For example, the signal including the data synchronization request may include a command to set the synchronization mode of the electronic device (10) to a data transmission mode in the synchronization application.

[0076] According to one embodiment, the first external electronic device (120) may transmit a signal including a request for data synchronization based on a user input. For example, the user input may include a preset interface action for requesting data synchronization. For example, the first external electronic device (120) may transmit a signal including a request for data synchronization based on a user input corresponding to a tap action on the electronic device (110). For example, the first external electronic device (120) may transmit a signal including a request for data synchronization based on a user input corresponding to a shaking action of the first external electronic device (120) within a specified distance of the electronic device (110).

[0077] In operation 505, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may determine whether the first display is defective in response to receiving a signal including a data synchronization request from the first external electronic device (20). For example, the first display may correspond to a main display (e.g., a relatively largest display among the at least one display) among at least one display (e.g., at least one display of FIG. 1 ). In one example, the electronic device (110) may determine whether a touch function of the main display among the at least one display operates normally. For example, the electronic device (110) may determine whether the touch function operates normally based on whether an indium tin oxide (ITO) film of the main display is damaged and / or a connection status.

[0078] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may determine that there is a defect in the first display if data synchronization cannot be performed using a synchronization application through the main display. For example, if the touch function of a specific area of ​​the main display is not normal, the electronic device (110) may not be able to perform data synchronization using the synchronization application through the main display. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may determine that there is no defect in the first display if data synchronization can be performed using the synchronization application through the main display. For example, if the touch function of a specific area of ​​the main display is normal, the electronic device (110) may be able to perform data synchronization using the synchronization application through the main display.

[0079] In operation 507, according to one embodiment, if the electronic device (110) determines that the first display is not defective (e.g., operation 505-No), the electronic device (110) may execute a synchronization application through the first display. For example, the electronic device (110) may execute the synchronization application and display a screen including a user interface associated with the synchronization application on the first display.

[0080] In operation 509, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may perform synchronization with a first external electronic device through the first display. For example, the electronic device (110) may obtain a user input (e.g., a touch input) through the main display. Based on the user input obtained through the main display, the electronic device (110) may perform data synchronization with the first external electronic device (120). For example, the electronic device (110) may obtain the user input through the main display and set the synchronization mode of the electronic device (110) to a data transmission mode in a synchronization application.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may attempt a wireless connection with the first external electronic device (120) when the synchronization mode in the synchronization application is set to the data transmission mode. For example, the electronic device (110) may emit a high-frequency signal to the surroundings. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may detect a surrounding device by emitting a high-frequency signal to the surroundings. For example, when there is a first external electronic device (120) in the surroundings, the electronic device (110) may emit a high-frequency signal to detect the first external electronic device (120). The first external electronic device (120) may receive the high-frequency signal emitted by the electronic device (110) and detect the electronic device (110). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may establish a short-range wireless connection with the first external electronic device (120) based on the detection of the first external electronic device (120).

[0082] According to one embodiment, a high-frequency signal may be transmitted to the first external electronic device (120). For example, the electronic device (110) may be wirelessly connected based on reception of the high-frequency signal from the first external electronic device (120). For example, when the electronic device (110) is connected to the first external electronic device (120), the electronic device (110) may transmit data of an item selected by the first external electronic device (120) (e.g., a data item stored in any electronic device (110), such as a photo, a text message, a contact, etc.) to the first external electronic device (120).

[0083] In operation 511, according to one embodiment, if the electronic device (110) determines that the first display is defective (e.g., operation 505-Yes), it may determine whether there is a second display without a defect. For example, the second display may correspond to a sub-display (e.g., a display that is relatively smaller than the main display) among at least one display. In one example, the electronic device (110) may determine whether a touch function of the sub-display among the at least one display operates normally. For example, the electronic device (110) may determine whether the touch function operates normally based on whether an indium tin oxide (ITO) film of the sub-display is damaged and / or a connection status.

[0084] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may determine that there is no second display without defects if data synchronization cannot be performed using a synchronization application through all sub-displays. For example, if the touch function of a specific area of ​​the sub-display is not normal, the electronic device (110) may not be able to perform data synchronization using a synchronization application through the sub-display. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may determine that there is a second display without defects if data synchronization can be performed using a synchronization application through the sub-display. For example, if the touch function of a specific area of ​​the sub-display is normal, the electronic device (110) may be able to perform data synchronization using a synchronization application through the sub-display.

[0085] In operation 513, according to one embodiment, if the electronic device (110) determines that there is a non-defective second display (e.g., operation 511-Yes), the electronic device (110) may execute a synchronization application through the second display. For example, if the electronic device (110) determines that there is a non-defective second display, the electronic device (110) may copy an icon corresponding to the synchronization application and display the icon on the non-defective second display. For example, the electronic device (110) may execute the synchronization application based on a touch input to an icon corresponding to the synchronization application displayed on the second display. For example, the electronic device (110) may execute the synchronization application and display a screen including a user interface associated with the synchronization application on the second display.

[0086] In operation 514, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (110) may perform synchronization with the first external electronic device (120) through the non-defective second display. For example, the electronic device (110) may obtain a user input (e.g., a touch input) through the non-defective sub-display. For example, the electronic device (110) may perform data synchronization with the first external electronic device (120) based on the user input obtained through the non-defective sub-display. The operation of performing synchronization with the first external electronic device (120) may be referenced by operation 509.

[0087] In operation 515, according to one embodiment, if the electronic device (110) determines that there is no second display without defects (e.g., operation 511-No), the electronic device (110) may execute a synchronization application. According to one embodiment, if the electronic device (110) determines that there is no second display without defects (e.g., all displays are defective), the synchronization application may set the synchronization mode of the electronic device (110) to a data transmission mode. For example, the data transmission mode may correspond to a mode for transmitting data stored in the electronic device (110) to the first external electronic device (120).
