provide the execution of the content by receiving the demo content streamed from the external device.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein, when a user input by the first object is detected, the processor is configured to:

switch the guide interface to an execution screen of the demo content; and

process signal transmission/reception corresponding to the user input through a link with the external device during the execution of the demo content.

7. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to:

control the display to display a guide interface of a previous content or a next content of the content through a link with the external device when a user input by the second object is detected;

download the content through the link with the external device when a user input by the third object is detected; and

register the content in a wish list through the link with the external device when a user input by the fourth object is detected.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a wireless communication module;

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

provide, via the wireless communication module, a content list including at least one recommended content to an external device, wherein the at least one recommended content is determined based on history information regarding content used by a user of the external device:

receive, via the wireless communication module, a request for executing a demo content based on the content list;

stream, via the wireless communication module, the demo content to the external device in response to a request for the demo content of the external device;

detect whether to stop the demo content during the streaming of the demo content;

control the wireless communication module to stop the streaming of the demo content when there is a determination to stop the use of the demo content; and

process a content download, content navigation, or content like registration according to a content request when the content request is detected after the streaming of the demo content is stopped.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein, when a request for executing the demo content is received, the processor is configured to:

generate the demo content corresponding to the content based on the content or searches for a pre-configured demo content corresponding to the content; and

provide the generated or found demo content to the external device through a streaming service.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the streaming service includes a cloud-based service for playing the content in real time without downloading the content in the external device.

11. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to determine to stop the use of the demo content according to detection of expiration of a predetermined range of the demo content or reception of a request for ending the demo content of the external device during the streaming of the demo content.

12. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a content list including at least one recommended content from an external device, wherein the at least one recommended content is determined based on history information regarding content used by a user of the electronic device;

displaying the content list;

upon detecting an input for selecting a content from the content list, displaying a guide interface for a content;

detecting a user input based on the guide interface;

determining a download or an execution of the content based on the user input through the guide interface;

receiving a demo content from an external device and displaying the demo content in response to the execution of the content; and

downloading the content from the external device in response to the download of the content.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the demo content includes a content streamed by the external device to allow pre-experience of the content before the content is downloaded.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the guide interface includes detailed content information corresponding to the content and control objects related to content use controls, and the control objects include a first object for performing user experience of the content, a second object for navigation between different contents within a content list, a third object for the download of the content, a fourth object for like selection of the content, and a fifth object for toggling the control objects.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the displaying of the demo content comprises:

when a user input by the first object is detected, making a request for a demo content corresponding to the content to the external device and executing the content by receiving the demo content streamed from the external device;

when a user input by the second object is detected, displaying a guide interface of a previous content or a next content of the content through a link with the external device;

when a user input by the third object is detected, downloading the content through the link with the external device; and

when a user input by the fourth object is detected, registering the content in a wish list through the link with the external device.

16. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

providing a content list including at least one recommended content to an external device, wherein the at least one recommended content is determined based on history information regarding content used by a user of the external device;

receiving a request for executing a demo content based on the content list;

streaming the demo content to the external device in response to a request for the demo content of the external device;

detecting whether to stop the use of the demo content during the streaming of the demo content;

when there is a determination to stop the use of the demo content, stopping the streaming of the demo content; and

when a content request is detected after the streaming of the demo content is stopped, processing a content download, content navigation, or content like registration according to the content request.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

when a request for executing the demo content is received, generating the demo content corresponding to the content based on the content or searching for a pre-configured demo content corresponding to the content; and

providing the generated or found demo content to the external device through a streaming service,

wherein the streaming service includes a cloud-based service for playing the content in real time without downloading the content in the external device.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the detecting of the stopping of the use of the demo content comprises determining to stop the use of the demo content according to detection of expiration of a predetermined range of the demo content or reception of a request for ending the demo content of the external device during the streaming of the demo content.
