Abstract

A terminal device is provided. The terminal device includes a communication interface unit configured to receive image data of an application installed in another terminal device that is streamed from the another terminal device, a display unit configured to display the image data, a control unit configured to receive an installation file associated with the application through the communication interface unit while the image data is being displayed, and to execute the received installation file when authentication of the installation file is completed, and a storage unit configured to allow the application to be installed therein according to execution of the installation file.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a transceiver;
a memory configured to store an installation file of an application which is installed at the electronic device; and
at least one processor configured to, in response to receiving a streaming request from an external device:
control the transceiver to stream image data generated according to an execution of the application, and
transmit the installation file of the application to the external device.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit the installation file of the application to the external device while the image data is being streamed.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a display configured to display the image data.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising:
a input unit configured to receive a user input,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
generate first image data corresponding to the user input and second image data corresponding to the streaming request,
control the display to display the first image data, and
control the transceiver to stream the second image data to the external device.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, in response to receiving a user input from the external device:
generate an image data according to the user input, and
control the transceiver to stream to the external device, the image data generated according to the user input.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the user input is input to the external device while the external device displays the image data received from the electronic device.

7. A method for controlling an electronic device which stores an installation file of an application which is installed at the electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a streaming request from an external device; and
in response to receiving the streaming request:
streaming image data generated according to an execution of the application to the external device, and
transmitting the installation file of the application to the external device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transmitting transmits the installation file of the application to the external device while the image data is being streamed.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
displaying the image data.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
generating first image data corresponding to a user input and second image data corresponding to the streaming request; and
displaying the first image data and streaming the second image data to the external device.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
in response to receiving a user input from the external device, generating image data according to the user input and streaming the image data generated according to the user input to the external device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user input is input to the external device while the external device displays the image data received from the electronic device.
