An electronic device may include a memory and at least one processor operatively connected with the memory. The at least one processor, including processing circuitry, may run a user application in a first area operating with a first permission and run an operating system in a second area operating with a second permission higher than the first permission. The memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, cause the at least one processor to detect an operation of at least one first device included in the electronic device, in a third area operating with a third permission higher than the second permission, deliver a detection signal for the at least one first device to a fourth area, an execution environment of which is separated from the first area, the second area, and the third area, in the third area, and provide a notification that the at least one first device is operating using at least one specified second device, in the fourth area. The fourth area may be an area on a second virtual machine, an execution environment of which is separated from the first area and the second area being areas on a first virtual machine by a hypervisor executed in the third area.

Electronic device and operating method for providing an operating notification for device included in the electronic device

An electronic device for controlling access to a device resource, and an operation method thereof, are disclosed. The electronic device may include a memory; and a processor configured to execute at least one operating system executed in a first region allowing an operation based on a first authority; execute at least one application executed in a second region allowing an operation based on a second authority; and in response to detection of access to at least one device resource by the at least one application, determine authority of access to the at least one device resource by using an authority determination module executed in a third region allowing an operation based on a third authority.

Electronic device for controlling access to device resource and operation method thereof

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.
