Disclosed is an electronic device comprising processor connected to a memory. The memory is configured to store a control application, a preferences file and an operating system image for executing a second operating system. The processor is configured to execute the control application in a first operating system. The processor is configured to determine whether preferences of the operating system image satisfy a defined condition in the control application The processor is also configured to change the preferences of the operating system image by using the preferences file when the preferences of the operating system image do not satisfy the defined condition. The processor is further configured to copy, to the operating system image, a package file for allowing the control application to control an operation of the second operating system.

Electronic device for executing heterogeneous operating systems and method therefor

An electronic device for executing various operating systems is provided. The electronic device includes first and second hardware devices, a first operating system (OS), a second OS different from the first OS, and a processor configured to control the first hardware device to process first data from a first program executed on the first OS, obtain a command for executing the second OS, generate a container for executing the second OS based on a kernel of the first OS in response to the command for executing the second OS, execute the second OS on the generated container, execute a second program on the second OS, obtain second data regarding the second program from the second OS via socket communication by a control application installed on the first OS, and control the second hardware device to process the second data regarding the second program based on the first OS using the installed control application.

Electronic device for executing multiple operating systems and method of controlling same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, at least one processor, and a memory operatively connected with the display and the at least one processor and configured to store a plurality of applications including a first application configured to execute using a first operating system (OS) and a second application configured to execute using a second OS, wherein the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, cause the at least one processor to output a first object and a second object on a screen of the first OS, wherein the first object is associated with execution of the first application and the second object is associated with execution of the second application and, when the second object is selected, output an execution screen of the second application on the screen of the first OS. Other embodiments are also possible.

Method for controlling execution of heterogeneous operating systems and electronic device and storage medium therefor

A method for operating an electronic device, the method including spawning a name space tool (NST) as part of a boot process of a host OS, wherein the NST is a process with a plurality of root privileges of the host OS. The method further includes spawning, by the NST, a container for a guest OS, wherein the container for the guest OS is mapped to a dedicated domain in the host OS, and dropping, by the NST, a root privilege of the host OS in response to spawning the container for the guest OS.

System and method for guest operating system using containers

This disclosure relates to an electronic device including a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is configured to execute a daemon process in one of a container or a host operating system, wherein the daemon process is configured to manage data transfer between the container and the host operating system, create, via the daemon process, an inter-process communication (IPC) channel between the container and the host operating system, receive incoming audio data, and buffer the incoming audio data to the IPC channel.
