Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device comprises: a display; a communication circuit; a memory; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may: receive, from a first server, a list of at least one external device registered with the first server, display the list through the display; receive a selection input for a first external device included in the list; obtain information for providing real-time content from a second server to the first external device; generate real-time content data; upload the real-time content data to the second server through the communication circuit while generating the real-time content data; and transmit at least a part of the information to the first external device through the first server such that the first external device can obtain the real-time content data. In addition, other various embodiments appreciated from the specification are also possible.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a communication circuit;
a memory; and
at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a first server, a list of at least one external device registered in the first server and display the list through the display,
receive an input for selecting a first external device of which a power has been turned off, the first external device being included in the list,
transmit a control signal for causing the first external device to turn on the power to the first external device through the first server,
acquire information for providing real-time content to the first external device from a second server,
generate real-time content data,
upload the real-time content data to the second server through the communication circuit while generating the real-time content data, and
transmit at least a part of the information to the first external device through the first server such that the first external device acquires the real-time content data.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first external device is registered in the first server using a first account of a user of the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first external device is registered in the second server using a second account of the electronic device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
acquire first address information and second address information for providing real-time content from the second server to the first external device,
upload the real-time content data to the second server based on the first address information, and
transmit the second address information to the first external device through the first server.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive status information of a power of the list of at least one external device from the first server, and
output the list and the status information of the power through the display.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
store the real-time content data in the memory when generation of the real-time content data is finished.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
display an interface for determining whether to store the generated real-time content data through the display when the generation of the real-time content data is finished.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a camera,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
perform recording using the camera,
upload real-time video data generated by the recording to the second server while the recording is being performed, and
transmit the at least a part of the information to the first external device through the first server such that the first external device acquires the real-time video data.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a microphone,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
perform recording using the microphone,
upload real-time speech data generated by the recording to the second server through the communication circuit while the recording is being performed, and
transmit the at least a part of the information to the first external device through the first server such that the first external device acquires the real-time speech data.

10. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a communication circuit;
a memory; and
at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a sharing request of an external device for real-time content from a first server and display a notification for the sharing request through the display,
turn on a power of the electronic device when the sharing request is received from the first server while the power of the electronic device is turned off,
acquire address information from the first server when a confirmation input is received in response to the notification, and
access a second server based on the address information and receive real-time content data from the second server.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the electronic device is registered in the first server using an account of a user of the external device.

12. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
store information associated with the sharing request in the memory when the confirmation input is not received for a specified period of time in response to the notification.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the information associated with the sharing request includes an account of a user of an external device that is registered in the first server and has transmitted the sharing request.
