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 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.

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.
