First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data, performed by an electronic device, to an external device, the method comprising:
- establishing a communication link with the external device using a first application being executed in the electronic device;
displaying, on a touch screen of the electronic device, a first window corresponding to the first application and a second window corresponding to a second application being executed in the electronic device;
setting, an operation mode of the electronic device as a sharing mode based on a first user touch input on the first window; and
transmitting data to the external device via the communication link, wherein the data is selected based on a second user touch input on the second window while the first window is displayed on the second window,wherein the first window is displayed on the second window in a state of allowing a user touch input to be received in the second window.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for transmitting data to an external device are provided. The method includes establishing a communication link with the external device by using a first application, and displaying a first window that corresponds to the first application, in response to an execution request for a second application that is different from the first application, displaying a second window that corresponds to the second application as a background of the first window, receiving a sharing mode request via the first window, and in response to the sharing mode request, setting an operation mode of the device as a sharing mode, and transmitting data that is provided from the second application to the external device via the communication link.
