Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A method is provided for operating an electronic device. The method includes displaying GUI items; receiving a first touch input in respect to a first GUI; receiving a second touch input in respect to a second GUI; storing first information about a first external input object and a first drawing attribute, corresponding to the first GUI, associated with the first external input object in response to the first touch input; storing second information about a second external input object associated with a second drawing attribute, corresponding to the second GUI, in response to the second touch input; receiving a third touch input; determining whether the third touch input is input using the first external input object or the second external input object; identifying a drawing attribute for the third touch input from the stored information, based on the determination; and applying the identified drawing attribute to the third touch input.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for performing a function corresponding to a recognized user input through a touch screen. The method includes displaying a window of an application; displaying a setting menu of the application; receiving a selection for at least one item in the setting menu; recognizing an input object that performed the selection; registering the input object as an object for executing a function corresponding to the at least one item selected by the input object; detecting an input by the input object in the application window; and executing the function in response to the input by the input object.

Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
