1. An electronic device comprising:
- a communication module; and
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions, the instructions when executed configured to;
receive a first user context of a first user from a first user device and a second user context of a second user from a second user device via the communication module,determine when the first user and the second user are within a specified distance, by using location information in the first and second user contexts,set permissions to access at least a portion of the first and/or second user contexts based on the determination,set the permissions to allow the first user to access a portion of the second user context associated with an on-line activity performed by the first user and the second user,receive a request for information in the second user context through conversations with first user,search for information in the second user context needed to respond to the request from the first user,verify access permissions set to the searched information in the second user context, andprovide the searched information in the second user context to the first user when the permissions of the second user context allows the first user to access the searched information in the second user context,wherein the user contexts comprise contents use information, a call history, a message or e-mail sending and receiving history, contents creation information, biometric information, user activity information, a purchasing history, a web surfing history, location information, a user schedule, and state information of user device, andwherein access permissions for a portion of information included in the second user contexts is in advance set by the second user.

Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first user context of a first user from a first user device and a second user context of a second user from a second user device via the communication module, to determine when the first user and the second user are within a specified distance, by using location information in the first and second user contexts, to set permissions to access at least a portion of the first and/or second user contexts based on the determination, to receive a request from the first user for information in the second user context, and to provide the information in the second user context to the first user when the permissions of the second user context allows the first user to access the information in the second user context.
