Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic device comprising: a communication module comprising communication circuitry, a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: control the electronic device to establish a connection to a wearable display device through the communication module, receive gaze information from the wearable display device, determine a first application and a second application corresponding to the gaze information to be displayed on a screen, identify profiles of the determined first application and second application, and combine graphic data corresponding to the first application and graphic data corresponding to the second application and transmit the combined graphic data to the wearable display device, or transmit each of graphic data corresponding to the first application and graphic data corresponding to the second application to the wearable display device, based on the identified profiles.

Claims (38)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication module comprising communication circuitry;

a memory; and

a processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the electronic device to establish a connection to a wearable display device through the communication module,

receive gaze information from the wearable display device,

determine a first application and a second application corresponding to the gaze information to be displayed on a screen,

identify profiles of the determined first application and second application, and

combine graphic data corresponding to the first application and graphic data corresponding to the second application and transmit the combined graphic data to the wearable display device, or to transmit each of graphic data corresponding to the first application and graphic data corresponding to the second application to the wearable display device, based on the identified profiles.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein based on one of the first application and the second application corresponding to an application requiring additional data processing to display an application execution screen, the processor is configured to transmit each of first graphic data corresponding to the first application and second graphic data corresponding to the second application.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein based on the first graphic data requiring additional data processing and the second graphic data requiring no additional data processing, the processor is configured to preprocess the second graphic data and transmit the preprocessed second graphic data to the wearable display device, and

to perform preprocessing and additional data processing for the first graphic data and transmit the preprocessed and additionally processed first graphic data to the wearable display device.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to perform preprocessing and additional data processing for the first graphic data while preprocessing the second graphic data and transmitting the preprocessed second graphic data to the wearable display device, and

to control the electronic device transmit the first graphic data for which the preprocessing and the additional data processing have been performed, to the wearable display device.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to: preprocess the second graphic data and transmit the preprocessed second graphic data through a first communication channel, and

perform preprocessing and additional data processing for the first graphic data and transmit the preprocessed and additionally processed first graphic data through a second communication channel different from the first communication channel.

6. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein based on one part of the first graphic data requiring additional data processing and another part of the first graphic data requiring no additional data processing,

the processor is configured to: combine and preprocess the second graphic data and the another part of the first graphic data and transmit the preprocessed second graphic data and the preprocessed another part of the first graphic data to the wearable display device, and

perform preprocessing and additional data processing for the one part of the first graphic data and transmit the preprocessed and additionally processed one part of the first graphic data to the wearable display device.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein based on the first application and the second application corresponding to applications requiring no additional data processing, the processor is configured to combine and preprocess first graphic data corresponding to the first application and second graphic data corresponding to the second application and transmit the combined and preprocessed first and second graphic data.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the profile comprises at least one of a priority, protection or non-protection indication, or a category.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein based on one of the first application and the second application corresponding to an application requiring additional data processing, according to one of the priority, the protection or non-protection indication, or the category, the processor is configured to transmit each of first graphic data corresponding to the first application and second graphic data corresponding to the second application.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to divide a communication channel based on a priority of each application.

11. A method of operating an electronic device, comprising:

receiving gaze information from a wearable display device in a state of a connection to the wearable display device made through a communication module of the electronic device;

determining a first application and a second application corresponding to the gaze information to be displayed on a screen;

identifying profiles of the determined first application and second application; and

combining graphic data corresponding to the first application and graphic data corresponding to the second application and transmitting the combined first and second graphic data to the wearable display device, or transmitting each of graphic data corresponding to the first application and graphic data corresponding to the second application to the wearable display device, based on the identified profiles.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting of each graphic data comprises, based on one of the first application and the second application corresponding to an application requiring additional data processing, transmitting each of first graphic data corresponding to the first application and second graphic data corresponding to the second application.

13. The method device of claim 12 , wherein the transmitting of each graphic data comprises, based on the first graphic data requiring additional data processing and the second graphic data requiring no additional data processing:

preprocessing the second graphic data and transmitting the preprocessed second graphic data to the wearable display device; and

performing preprocessing and additional data processing for the first graphic data and transmitting the preprocessed and additionally processed first graphic data to the wearable display device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the transmitting of each graphic data comprises

preprocessing the second graphic data and transmitting the preprocessed second graphic data through a first communication channel; and

performing preprocessing and additional data processing for the first graphic data and transmitting the preprocessed and additionally processed first graphic data through a second communication channel different from the first communication channel.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the transmitting of each graphic data comprises, based on one part of the first graphic data requiring additional data processing and another part of the first graphic data requiring no additional data processing:

combining and preprocessing the second graphic data and the another part of the first graphic data and transmitting the combined preprocessed second graphic data and the preprocessed another part of the first graphic data to the wearable display device; and

performing preprocessing and additional data processing for the one part of the first graphic data and transmitting the preprocessed and additionally processed one part of the first graphic data to the wearable display device.
