The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0099] Referring to FIG. 5A, an electronic device (101) may be worn by a user (501). In one embodiment, the user (501) may input a user input requesting establishment of a communication connection between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) to use the external electronic device (102) while wearing the electronic device (101). For example, the user (501) may input a user input requesting establishment of a communication connection between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) to display a screen generated by the external electronic device (102) within the FOV (e.g., the FOV (500) of FIG. 5B) of the electronic device (101). For example, the user (501) may input a user input requesting establishment of a communication connection between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) so that the electronic device (101) displays a screen (e.g., screen (520) of FIG. 5B) within the FOV (500) based on data provided by the external electronic device (102) rather than displaying the screen (510) of the external electronic device (102) through the VST (video see through) of the electronic device (101). For example, displaying the screen (510) of the external electronic device (102) through the VST of the electronic device (101) may mean displaying the screen (510) of the external electronic device (102) captured by the electronic device (101) through the camera (480) on the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) displaying a screen (520) within the FOV (500) based on data provided by an external electronic device (102) may be displaying a screen (520) generated by the electronic device (101) by rendering data obtained from the external electronic device (102). The electronic device (101) displaying a screen (520) within the FOV (500) based on data provided by the external electronic device (102) may be mirroring the screen (510) of the external electronic device (102) onto the electronic device (101).In one embodiment, the screen (520) may correspond to the screen (510). In one embodiment, the properties of the screen (520) may be different from the properties of the screen (510). For example, the size, quality, and / or content of the screen (520) may be at least partially different from the size, quality, and / or content of the screen (510). For example, the screen (520) may be referred to as a mirror screen in the sense that it mirrors the screen (510) within the electronic device (101).

[0100] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may establish a communication connection with an external electronic device (102) through the communication circuit (490) based on a user input. For example, in response to a user input for a communication connection with the external electronic device (102), the electronic device (101) may establish a communication connection with the external electronic device (102). For example, the electronic device (101) may establish a communication connection with an external electronic device (102) selected by a user input that selects a visual object (502) representing the external electronic device (102) displayed within the FOV (500). For example, the electronic device (101) may establish a communication connection with an external electronic device (102) selected from a list of electronic devices to which a user account of a user logged in to the electronic device (101) is logged in. For example, the electronic device (101) may establish a communication connection with an external electronic device (102) selected from a list of electronic devices that have previously communicated with the electronic device (101). For example, the electronic device (101) may establish a communication connection with an external electronic device (102) selected from a list of electronic devices that have transmitted an advertising packet to the electronic device (101).

[0101] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may receive a request to establish a communication connection from the electronic device (101) via the communication circuit (495). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may receive a request to establish a communication connection from the electronic device (101) while displaying the screen (510). In one embodiment, the communication connection between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) may be a communication connection based on short-range wireless communication (e.g., WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the communication connection between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) may be a communication connection based on long-range wireless communication (e.g., cellular network).

[0102] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may transmit data related to the screen (510) to the electronic device (101) through the communication circuit (495) based on the establishment of a communication connection with the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the data related to the screen (510) may be data for generating a screen to be displayed through the display (460) of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the data related to the screen (510) may be a frame (or image) rendered by the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the data related to the screen (510) may be data for rendering the screen (520) on the electronic device (101).

[0103] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may receive data related to a screen (510) from the external electronic device (102) through the communication circuit (490) based on the establishment of a communication connection with the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the data related to the screen (510) may be data for generating a screen to be displayed through the display (460) of the electronic device (101).

[0104] Referring to FIG. 5B, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (520) through the display (460) based on receiving data related to the screen (510) from the external electronic device (102). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a visual object (502) representing the external electronic device (102) within the FOV (500) and a screen (520) corresponding to the screen (510). In one embodiment, the visual object (502) and the screen (520) may be displayed based on a stereoscopic image on the display (460). The stereoscopic image may be an image that takes into account the binocular disparity of the user (501). The stereoscopic image may be an image for providing a three-dimensional (3D) sense of space to the user (501). Here, the visual object (502) may represent the external electronic device (102) located in an actual space. Here, indicating an external electronic device (102) located in a real space may mean that the external electronic device (102) existing in the real space can be shown to the user (501) through the display (460) via VST (video see through). Indicating an external electronic device (102) located in a real space may mean that an image representing the real space obtained through the camera (480) (or the front camera (240-3, 340-9, 340-10)) via VST is provided to the user (501). Here, the screen (520) may be displayed on the FOV (500) of the display (460) based on data related to the screen (510) transmitted by the external electronic device (102) to the electronic device (101).In FIG. 5b, the electronic device (101) receives data of a screen (510) transmitted from an external electronic device (102), uses the data of the screen (510) to generate a screen (520) on the display (460), and displays a visual object (502) representing the external electronic device (102) on the display (460).

[0105] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may stop displaying the screen (510) while transmitting data related to the screen (510) to the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, stopping displaying the screen (510) may include switching the display (465) to a low power state. For example, switching the display (465) to a low power state may include turning off the display (465). For example, referring to FIG. 5C, when the external electronic device (102) turns off the display (465), the display (465) may appear in a turned-off state (530). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, stopping the display of the screen (510) may include causing the external electronic device (102) to display a screen other than the screen (510) on the display (465), such as a lock screen, a screen saver, an always-on display (AoD) screen, a screen with reduced screen brightness (or dimming screen), or a screen of a designated solid color (e.g., black). For example, referring to FIG. 5D , the external electronic device (102) may display a screen (540) on the display (465) that is distinct from the screen (510). For example, switching the display (465) to a low power state may include reducing the operating frequency of the display (465). For example, the external electronic device (102) may reduce the operating frequency of the display (465) while displaying a screen (540) other than the screen (510) on the display (465). In one embodiment, the screen (540) may include a visual object (550). For example, the visual object (550) may indicate that an external electronic device (102) is being utilized by the electronic device (101).In one embodiment, the visual object (550) may be displayed on the display (465) of the external electronic device (102) while the external electronic device (102) is connected to the electronic device (101), regardless of access by another user (e.g., user (601) of FIG. 6A). In one embodiment, the visual object (550) may be an image (e.g., an icon) indicating that the external electronic device (102) is connected to the electronic device (101), as well as text such as “XR connecting.” In one embodiment, the visual object (550) may be various guidance phrases indicating a specific status (or situation) of the external electronic device (102), as well as guidance phrases such as “XR connecting.” (e.g., “Currently performing a mirroring operation via XR.”, “Access is restricted because the current XR user is using this device.”, “Access is restricted because the current user AAA is using this device.”).

[0106] In one embodiment, while the external electronic device (102) stops displaying the screen (510), the FOV (500) of the electronic device (101) may display a screen (520) corresponding to the screen (510).

[0107] According to an embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may maintain the display of the screen (510) while transmitting data related to the screen (510) to the electronic device (101).

[0108] As described above, since the external electronic device (102) stops displaying the screen (510) while transmitting data related to the screen (510) to the electronic device (101), it may not be easy for other external users to recognize that the external electronic device (102) is being used by the user (501) of the electronic device (101). Accordingly, other users may attempt to use the external electronic device (102) or take it away while the user (501) is using the external electronic device (102) that is connected to the electronic device (101). Other users may attempt to clean up the external electronic device (102) (e.g., close the laptop) while the user (501) is using the external electronic device (102) that is connected to the electronic device (101). In this case, the user (501) may be interrupted from using the external electronic device (102). Additionally, if another user needs to use the external electronic device (102) while the user (501) is using the external electronic device (102) through the FOV (500), it may be difficult for the other user to obtain permission from the user (501) to use the external electronic device (102).

[0109] Accordingly, a method may be required to reduce the possibility that a user (501) is disturbed or interrupted by another user. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C, the operation of an electronic device (101) and / or an external electronic device (102) for reducing the possibility that a user (501) is disturbed by another user (e.g., user (601)) will be described. In addition, a method may be required for another user to obtain permission from the user (501) to use the external electronic device (102). Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C, the operation of an electronic device (101) and / or an external electronic device (102) for another user to obtain permission from the user (501) to use the external electronic device (102) will be described.

[0110] FIG. 6A illustrates a situation in which another user accesses an external electronic device while the electronic device and the external electronic device are in communication connection in one embodiment.

[0111] FIG. 6A can be described with reference to components of the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) of FIG. 4. FIG. 6A can be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5D.

[0112] Referring to FIG. 6A, while the electronic device (101) displays a screen (520) in the FOV (500) based on data related to a screen (e.g., screen (510) of FIG. 5A) received from an external electronic device (102), based on an input from a user (501), the electronic device (101) may move the screen (520) to another location within the FOV (500) or enlarge it. For example, the screen (520) may move out of the location where a visual object (502) representing the external electronic device (102) is displayed within the FOV (500). For example, as the screen (520) moves within the FOV (500), an area (610) depicting the display (465) of the external electronic device (102) among the visual objects (502) may actually represent a display state (e.g., state (530) of FIG. 5c) or screen (e.g., screen (540) of FIG. 5d) of the display (465) of the external electronic device (102).

[0113] Referring to FIG. 6A, while the electronic device (101) displays the screen (520) on the FOV (500), another user (601) can access the external electronic device (102). For example, while the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) are connected to each other, the other user (601) can access the external electronic device (102).

[0114] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) by another user (601). For example, while the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) are in communication with each other (or while the external electronic device (102) transmits data for rendering the screen (520) to the electronic device (101, e.g., data representing the screen (510)), at least one of the electronic device (101) or the external electronic device (102) can monitor the other user (601) accessing the external electronic device (102).

[0115] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) using the camera (480). For example, the electronic device (101) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) from an image acquired using the camera (480). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) can identify another electronic device accessing the external electronic device (102) through the communication circuit (490). For example, the electronic device (101) can identify that another user (601) is accessing the external electronic device (102) based on identifying the other electronic device accessing the external electronic device (102). For example, the electronic device (101) may identify the approach of the external electronic device (102) of the other electronic device as the approach of the other user (601) by using a communication technique (e.g., ultra wide band (UWB)) to identify another electronic device worn by the other user (601). In one or more embodiments, the other electronic device of the other user (601) may be a mobile device, such as a cell phone, tablet, wearable device, etc., that emits a signal recognizable by the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102), such that identification of the signal from the other electronic device is recognized as the approach of the other user (601). In one or more embodiments, the approach of the other user (601) may correspond to the presence of the other user (601) within a predefined proximity / distance of the external electronic device (102) as determined using a camera (485) and / or a sensor (475) of the external electronic device (102); Approach of another user (601) includes not only the other user (601) moving toward the external electronic device (102) but also being within a predefined proximity / distance of the external electronic device (102).The approach of another user (601) may be captured by the camera (485) and / or sensor (475) of the external electronic device (102), and / or may include speech (or voice), movement, etc. of another user (601) within a predefined proximity / distance of the external electronic device (102), which may be captured by the camera (485) and / or sensor (475) of the electronic device (101) of the user (501).

[0116] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can transmit a signal to the electronic device (101) via the communication circuit (495) indicating that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can identify that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102) based on the signal from the external electronic device (102).

[0117] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) using the camera (485). For example, the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) from an image acquired using the camera (485). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) based on identifying that the other user (601) is not wearing the electronic device (101) in the image acquired using the camera (485). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify an approach to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) identified as not wearing the electronic device (101) based on an image acquired using the camera (485). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify an approach to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) wearing a wearable device using the camera (485). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify an approach to the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) wearing a wearable device based on differences between feature points (or feature maps) of the user identified in the image acquired through the camera (485) and feature points (or feature maps) of the user (501) registered in the external electronic device (102). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the external electronic device (102) can identify another electronic device accessing the external electronic device (102) through the communication circuit (495). For example, the external electronic device (102) can identify that another user (601) is accessing the external electronic device (102) based on identifying the other electronic device accessing the external electronic device (102).For example, an external electronic device (102) can identify an access of another electronic device to the external electronic device (102) as an access of another user (601) by using a communication technique (e.g., UWB) to identify another electronic device worn by another user (601).

[0118] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may transmit a signal to the external electronic device (102) via the communication circuit (490) indicating that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may identify that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102) based on the signal from the electronic device (101).

[0119] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) can identify that another user (601) approaches within a specified distance from the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the specified distance can have an absolute value. For example, the absolute value can be 1 meter. In one embodiment, the specified distance can have a relative value (e.g., a value based on a distance between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102). For example, the relative value can be a value within the distance between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102).

[0120] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) can identify the intention of another user (601) to approach the external electronic device (102). For example, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) can identify the intention of the other user (601) based on the approach pattern of the other user (601) to the external electronic device (102). For example, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) can determine that the other user (601) intends to use the external electronic device (102) if the other user (601) moves toward the external electronic device (102) along the shortest path toward the external electronic device (102). For example, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) may determine that the other user (601) intends to use the external electronic device (102) when the other user (601) looks at the external electronic device (102) and moves toward the external electronic device (102).

[0121] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) may perform processing to provide a notification to the user (501) and / or the other user (601) based on identifying that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) and / or the external electronic device (102) may perform processing to provide a notification to the user (501) and / or the other user (601) based on determining that another user (601) has an intention to use the external electronic device (102) and identifying that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102).

[0122] Hereinafter, an operation for an external electronic device (102) to provide a notification to another user (601) may be described with reference to FIG. 6b. Hereinafter, an operation for an electronic device (101) to provide a notification to a user (501) may be described with reference to FIG. 6c.

[0123] FIG. 6b illustrates an example of a screen displayed by an external electronic device upon the approach of another user while the electronic device and the external electronic device are in communication connection in one embodiment.

[0124] Fig. 6b can be described with reference to components of the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) of Fig. 4. Fig. 6b can be described with reference to Figs. 5a to 5d.

[0125] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) by another user (601). For example, while the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) are in communication with each other (or while the external electronic device (102) transmits data for rendering the screen (520) to the electronic device (101, e.g., data representing the screen (510)), the external electronic device (102) can monitor another user accessing the external electronic device (102). For example, the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) by another user (601) through the sensor (475). For example, the external electronic device (102) can identify access to the external electronic device (102) by another user (601) based on a signal from the electronic device (101). For example, a signal from an electronic device (101) may indicate that another user (601) is approaching an external electronic device (102).

[0126] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may display a screen (620) including a visual object (625) indicating that the external electronic device (102) is being used by the user (501) on the display (465) based on identifying that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102). According to an embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may replace the screen (510) with the screen (620) while maintaining the display of the screen (510) while transmitting data related to the screen (510) to the electronic device (101) based on identifying that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102).

[0127] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may display a screen (620) including a visual object (625) indicating that the external electronic device (102) is being used by the user (501) on the display (465) based on determining that another user (601) has an intention to use the external electronic device (102) and identifying that the other user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the visual object (625) may be replaced by a visual object (e.g., visual object (550) of FIG. 5D). For example, the external electronic device (102) may replace the visual object (550) being displayed with the visual object (625) based on identifying that the other user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the visual object (625) may be an image (e.g., an icon) indicating that the external electronic device (102) is linked with the electronic device (101), as well as text such as “XR connecting.” In one embodiment, the visual object (625) may not only include a guidance phrase such as “XR connecting,” but may also include various guidance phrases indicating a specific status (or situation) of the external electronic device (102) (e.g., “Currently performing a mirroring operation via XR.”, “Access is restricted because the current XR user is using this device.”, “Access is restricted because the current user AAA is using this device.”). In one embodiment, the visual object (625) may be displayed more clearly than the visual object (550) on the external electronic device (102), but is not limited thereto. For example, an external electronic device (102) may display a screen (620) including a visual object (625) indicating that the external electronic device (102) is being used by a user (501) on the display (465) based on receiving a user input from another user (601) for the external electronic device (102).For example, the external electronic device (102) may display a screen (620) including a visual object (625) indicating that the external electronic device (102) is being used by the user (501) on the display (465) based on identifying that another user (601) is approaching the external electronic device (102) and / or receiving user input from another user (601) to the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the user input to the external electronic device (102) may be a user input to an input module (e.g., input module (150) of FIG. 1) within the external electronic device (102) (e.g., a touch screen, a keyboard, a touchpad). In one embodiment, user input to the external electronic device (102) may be user input to another electronic device (e.g., a keyboard, a touchpad, a mouse, a remote control, a stylus) external to the external electronic device (102) (but communicatively coupled to the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, user input to the external electronic device (102) may include deforming the external electronic device (102) (e.g., changing the angle of opening of two parts of the external electronic device (102) (such as a display and a keyboard, a first display and a second display, etc.). For example, if the external electronic device (102) has a form that can be opened and closed, opening the external electronic device (102) or increasing the opening of the external electronic device (102) is recognized as user input to the external electronic device (102).

[0128] In one embodiment, whether a user input for an external electronic device (102) is a user input of another user (601) can be identified by the external electronic device (102) based on an image captured by the camera (485) of the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can distinguish objects included in the image captured by the camera (485) as the user (501) and / or another user (601) based on an object recognition algorithm. In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify an object, among objects identified in an image captured by the camera (485), whose feature points (or feature maps) are identical to the feature points (or feature maps) of the user (501) registered in the external electronic device (102), as an object representing the user (501). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify an object whose feature points (or feature map) are different from the feature points (or feature map) of the user (501) registered in the external electronic device (102) among the objects identified in the image acquired through the camera (485) as representing a user (601) other than the user (501). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can distinguish a user input of a user identified as another user (601) from a user input of a user identified as the user (501) based on distinguishing objects included in an image captured through the camera (485) as the user (501) and / or another user (601).

[0129] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify a user (501) and another user (601) who are adjacent to the external electronic device (102) based on an image captured by the camera (485). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify that the other user (601) is closer to the external electronic device (102) based on identifying that the user (501) is obscured by the other user (601). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify that the user (501) is closer to the external electronic device (102) based on identifying that the other user (601) is obscured by the user (501). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify that a user input identified while another user (601) is closer to the external electronic device (102) is input by the other user (601). According to an embodiment, the identification of the user who is closer to the external electronic device (102) among the user (501) and the other user (601) can be identified by the distance between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) and the distance between the electronic device (101) and the external electronic device (102) (e.g., the other electronic device) carried by the other user (601). In one embodiment, the distance can be identified by the external electronic device (102) based on a distance measurement algorithm (e.g., a positioning algorithm based on UWB).

[0130] In one embodiment, whether a user input to an external electronic device (102) is a user input of another user (601) can be identified based on a distance between the external electronic device (102) and the user. In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify the distance between the external electronic device (102) and the user based on a distance measurement algorithm (e.g., a positioning algorithm based on UWB). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify the user input as a user input of another user (601) based on the distance being greater than or equal to a reference distance. In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify the user input as a user input of the user (501) based on the distance being less than or equal to a reference distance.

[0131] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can receive a user input while displaying the screen (620) (or while another user (601) accesses the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can process the user input received while displaying the screen (620) (or while another user (601) accesses the external electronic device (102)) differently depending on which user the user input is. For example, the external electronic device (102) can perform a function according to the user input based on determining that the user input received while displaying the screen (620) (or while another user (601) accesses the external electronic device (102)) is a user input of a user (501) who has permission to use the external electronic device (102). For example, the external electronic device (102) may not perform a function based on a user input determined to be from another user (601) who does not have permission to use the external electronic device (102) while displaying the screen (620) (or while another user (601) has access to the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the user input may be a user input via an input module (e.g., a touch screen, a keyboard, a mouse, a touchpad, a stylus, a remote control) linked to the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the user input may include deforming the external electronic device (102) (e.g., changing a spread angle (between two parts of the external electronic device (102), such as a display and a keyboard, a first display and a second display, etc.)).

[0132] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) can identify a user input for terminating the external electronic device (102) of another user (601) while displaying the screen (620) (or while another user (601) has access to the external electronic device (102). For example, the user input for terminating the external electronic device (102) can be a press user input for a power button of the external electronic device (102). For example, the user input for terminating the external electronic device (102) can be closing the external electronic device (102).

However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the communication connection between the other electronic device (1001) and the external electronic device (102) may be a communication connection based on long-range wireless communication (e.g., cellular network).

[0192] In one embodiment, based on receiving a request for establishing a communication connection from another electronic device (1001), the external electronic device (102) may transmit a signal to the electronic device (101) through the communication circuit (495) to inquire whether the other user (601) should perform a communication connection between the other electronic device (1001) and the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, based on receiving a request for establishing a communication connection from the other electronic device (1001), the external electronic device (102) may transmit a signal to the electronic device (101) through the communication circuit (495) to inquire whether the other user (601) should allow the use of the external electronic device (102).

[0193] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may, based on receiving a signal inquiring whether to allow use of the external electronic device (102), display a visual object (640) on the display (460) inquiring whether to allow another user (601) to use the external electronic device (102).

[0194] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may transmit, through the communication circuit (490), a response to the external electronic device (102) allowing the user (601) to use the external electronic device (102) based on a user input selecting a visual object (641) for allowing another user (601) to use the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may transmit, through the communication circuit (490), a response to the external electronic device (102) not allowing the user (601) to use the external electronic device (102) based on a user input selecting a visual object (645) for not allowing the other user (601) to use the external electronic device (102).

[0195] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may determine whether to establish a communication connection with another electronic device (1001) based on a response from the electronic device (101).

[0196] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may establish a communication connection with another electronic device (1001) of another user (601) based on receiving a response from the electronic device (101) allowing the other user (601) to use the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may not establish a communication connection with another electronic device (1001) of another user (601) based on receiving a response from the electronic device (101) not allowing the other user (601) to use the external electronic device (102).

[0197] In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may transmit data related to a screen to be displayed on the other electronic device (1001) to the other electronic device (1001) through the communication circuit (495) based on the establishment of a communication connection with the other electronic device (1001). In one embodiment, the data related to the screen may be data for generating a screen to be displayed within the FOV (1000) of the other electronic device (1001).

[0198] For example, referring to FIG. 10B, an external electronic device (102) may transmit data to another electronic device (1001) to display another screen (1020) corresponding to the screen (520) within the FOV (1000) for use by another user (601) of the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the other screen (1020) may represent the same usage environment as the screen (520) representing the usage environment in which the user (501) uses the external electronic device (102) within the FOV (500) of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may transmit data to the electronic device (101) for displaying a screen (520) for a user (501) within the FOV (500) while simultaneously transmitting data to the other electronic device (1001) for displaying another screen (1030) (e.g., as shown in FIG. 10c) for another user (601) within the FOV (1000).

[0199] For example, referring to FIG. 10c, the external electronic device (102) may transmit data to the other electronic device (1001) for displaying a screen (1030) other than the screen (520) within the FOV (1000) for use by another user (601) of the external electronic device (102). In one embodiment, the other screen (1030) may represent a usage environment different from the screen (520) representing the usage environment in which the user (501) uses the external electronic device (102) within the FOV (500) of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the external electronic device (102) may transmit data to the electronic device (101) for displaying a screen (520) for a user (501) within the FOV (500) and simultaneously transmit data to the other electronic device (1001) for displaying another screen (1030) for another user (601) within the FOV (1000), according to a multi-desktop.
