Abstract

A method for sharing data in a transmitting-side electronic device communicating with a receiving-side electronic device is provided. The method includes connecting a voice call with the receiving-side electronic device; obtaining a sharing object to be shared with the receiving-side electronic device; and transmitting data corresponding to the sharing object to the receiving-side electronic device through a data session formed based on information related to the voice call.

Claims (46)

1. A method performed by a transmitting-side electronic device for sharing data with a receiving-side electronic device, the method comprising:

displaying a screen of a call application;

transmitting a request for connecting a voice call with the receiving-side electronic device via a call application;

receiving profile information of a user of the receiving-side electronic device from an external server while the voice call is being set up;

displaying the profile information on the screen of the call application before the voice call is connected to the receiving-side electronic device;

in response to the voice call being connected with the receiving-side electronic device, displaying a plurality of icons representing sharing objects on the screen of the call application;

receiving a selection on a first icon of the plurality of icons as a sharing object to be shared with the receiving-side electronic device;

sending a sharing request for the sharing object;

in response to receiving a sharing acceptance message corresponding to the sharing request, displaying an execution screen of a first application corresponding to the first icon;

obtaining data for sharing with the receiving-side electronic device while the execution screen of the first application is displayed; and

transmitting the obtained data output from the first application to the receiving-side electronic device through a data session formed based on information related to the voice call after the voice call is initiated.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtained data is based on a first format.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first format is a format which is common to the transmitting-side electronic device and the receiving-side electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing the first application corresponding to the first icon.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving-side electronic device executes a second application of the receiving-side electronic device based on the sharing request.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first application is at least one of different from, or the same as the second application; and

wherein each of output data of the first application and output data of the second application is based on a first format.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sharing objects includes at least one of user information, image information, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), public transport information, a movie, a time, a text, an alarm, application information, goods information, bank information, a price, weather, a barcode, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), control, sketch, a touch, and coordinate information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sending a sharing request for the sharing object comprises:

transmitting a called number;

receiving at least one of callee information and receiving-side Value-Added Service (VAS) server information corresponding to the called number; and

generating the data session based on at least one of the received callee information and the receiving-side VAS server information.

9. A transmitting-side electronic device communicating with a receiving-side electronic device, the transmitting-side electronic device comprising:

a display configured to display a screen of a call application;

a communication interface configured to connect a voice call with the receiving-side electronic device; and

a controller configured to:

transmit a request for connecting the voice call with the receiving-side electronic device via a call application,

receive profile information of a user of the receiving-side electronic device from an external server while the voice call is being set up,

display the profile information on the screen of the call application before the voice call is connected to the receiving-side electronic device,

in response to the voice call being connected with the receiving-side electronic device, control the display to display a plurality of icons representing sharing objects on the screen of the call application,

receive a selection on a first icon of the plurality of icons as a sharing object to be shared with the receiving-side electronic device,

send a sharing request for the sharing object,

in response to receiving a sharing acceptance message corresponding to the sharing request, control to display to display an execution screen of a first applications corresponding to the first icon,

obtain data for sharing with the receiving-side electronic device while the execution screen of the first application is displayed, and

control to transmit the obtained data output from the first application to the receiving-side electronic device through a data session formed based on information related to the voice call after the voice call is initiated.

10. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the obtained data is based on a first format.

11. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the first format is a format which is common to the transmitting-side electronic device and the receiving-side electronic device.

12. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to execute the first application corresponding to the first icon.

13. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the receiving-side electronic device executes a second application of the receiving-side electronic device based on the sharing request.

14. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the first application is at least one of different from, or the same as the second application; and

wherein each of output data of the first application and output data of the second application is based on a first format.

15. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the sharing objects includes at least one of user information, image information, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), public transport information, a movie, a time, a text, an alarm, application information, goods information, bank information, a price, weather, a barcode, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), control, sketch, a touch, and coordinate information.

16. The transmitting-side electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control to transmit a called number,

receive at least one of callee information and receiving-side Value-Added Service (VAS) server information corresponding to the called number; and

generate the data session based on at least one of the received callee information and the receiving-side VAS server information.
